The iPod Blinks…


Is Apple perturbed by the rather feisty (and noisy) challenge being mounted by the Creative Zen Micro?
You be the judge. I mean, just because they recently launched a new, improved iPod mini that just so happens to have a gigabyte more memory and 8 hours more battery life than the Zen Micro doesn’t really mean […]

Hilton Hacked!


Paris Hilton’s T-Mobile Sidekick phone has been hacked, and now the web is flooded with the actual phone numbers of a stunning array of Hollywood celebrities as taken from her address book.
So how in the world can anybody hack into somebody’s phone? Well, apparently, T-Mobile’s security implementation for the Sidekick is similar to that of […]

Micro or Mini: And we’re not talking about skirts


Recently got to fiddle around with Creative’s iPod mini killer, the Creative Zen Micro. Yes, I am impressed — Creative said that they would come out to produce an iPod killer and they did just that - after a failed attempt though (the digital war still has its casualties) with their Creative Zen Touch.

Rant| And the Sun will keep Shining

After some fiddling, […]

The National Commission for Culture and Arts (NCCA) Committee on Literary Arts for the National Arts (yes, that’s quite a a mouthful) is inviting rabid texters to join their TEXTSAWIKAIN contest.
You have until […]

Labor of love: the February issue


Yeah, I know, it’s a few days late, but since it’s my first issue as Editor in Chief (again), I hope you can cut me some slack. It took quite an effort getting back into the groove of putting out a magazine. Nevertheless, we think we’ve brought out another good issue.

Fun Box| The Joy of Death by Cellphone


If you love Japanese “New Wave Horror

In the mood for love


I’ve had the Treo 650 for only a day and a half and I’m really smitten. There’s not a single feature that is to die for, and it has some, ummm, issues (memory and the lack of Wi-Fi are the top two that come to mind), but man, the way the entire package is […]
