I was fortunate enough to get a few hours of playtime with an OLPC prototype brought here by Sandeep here in Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines. The unit is surprisingly good looking with a lot of new technological and pedagogical enablers.
The little OLPC device (called XO) looks pretty good on my office desk. To […]
Here is a really really interest piece from a VC blogger (from all the classes of bloggers) in NYC about a picture published in the NY Post. Now this is really cool!
I like the touch about the beer tap-enabled refrigerator. The iToilet is also a pretty cool accessory. Instead of a separate TiVo and a […]
After reading about an Inquirer.net article describing the prospects for IT projects in the country, I realized that the Philippines is steadly (and as predicted) becoming one of the preferred destinations for call center work in the world.

I just finished a talk in a conference called iTech Conference organized by Compsat and MISA (Student Organizations in the Ateneo de Manila University).

Linux Distribution: Fedora Core 6
Linux Kernel: 2.6.19-1.2895_1.fc6.cubbi_suspend2
VMWare Version: 1.0.1-29996
The fix is very well documented here. However, it is […]
Here is something from the wonderful technology wonderland of the Rising Sun. Here is an excerpt from Akihabara News.
I can assure you that you read the title correctly. Olympus offers today an 8Mpix camera supporting up to ISO 10000 to shoot pictures in pitch dark. But, switching to ISO 10000 will bring the camera down […]
VoIP Planet has this article about Neustar announcing the release of its SIP exchange. This is definitely related to my previous post on moving towards an all IP infrastructure. For those of you who do not know this company, here is a short description.

I read an article from Darla Mack’s blog about the US Army contracting Nokia to build a WCDMA/HSDPA 3G system for them. This definitely is a big win for Nokia as a manufacturer for 3G equipment which already has over sixty-six (66) operator customers worldwide. However, another interesting point picked my interest. It was mention […]
