2007’s Top 10 Underreported Tech Stories
January 1, 2008

 

Story 1: Java is becoming the new Cobol

                – Java is losing ground to Ruby on Rails, PHP, and other cool new languages when it comes to rich internet applications, that is in favor of the most developers.

Story 2: Sun Microsystems is back in the game

               – Sun Microsystems is struggle to keep the company’s name on the buy lists of enterprise IT shoppers

Story 3: Hackers take aim at Mac OS X

                  – The days when you can assume that Apple’s products are exempt from harm are over.

Story 4: There are some threats you can worry less about

                  – Spammers have dialed back their use of so-called image spam, which tricks filters by embedding text within an attached image.

Story 5: Companies may have found a way around H-1B visa limits

               – Despite the H-1B visa limit of 65,000, the real total of visas issued to highly skilled workers is closer to 400,000 annually, according to the feds. That, say some critics, may mean that the law is being abused.

Story 8: Blade servers arrive for the masses

               – a new generation of blades is actually designed for smaller businesses, who typically don’t have sophisticated datacenters for their blades.

Story 9: BI is dead; long live BI

              – With three of the largest competitors in the field taken over by software giants, you’d think that the best days of the business intelligence market were over. You’d be wrong.

Story 10: Balance of power shifts to software buyers

               – Despite the wave of consolidation sweeping the industry, buyers have actually gained more leverage than ever when it comes to making deals with their vendors, notes a PricewaterhouseCoopers analysis.

Alodia Gosiengfiao - Filipina Cosplayer
December 23, 2007

Doing a cosplay is I think the most difficult one in Art (for me). I mean you need a lot of money in terms of make up, wigs, custome and props. You can’t act someone that is non-existing, ofcourse you must imitate someone popular or  the most common of it is an   anime character.

Cosplaying is popular in deviantart. And there is a Filipina girl who is so very popular on the said style. Without no much FYI.here ,I know most of you know her… She is Alodia Gosiengfiao.She is half Filipino, Chinese and Spanish descent.

She is currently on her 3rd year taking up Information Design at the Ateneo De Manila University, and is fond of art, fashion and video games. 

Maxim magazine Philippines offered her to appear in the magazine for two months but, she turned them down. This is not the first time she snubbed the mainstream media. Previously, she rebuffed a TV offer from Maxim Philippines’ parent company ABS-CBN, an offer later taken by her friend and fellow cosplayer Dianne Lopez

Alodia’s popularity in the cosplay scene began at a Culture Crash Convention in December 2003, appearing as Gunmage Rikku from the game Final Fantasy X-2, accompanied by her sister Ashley Gosiengfiao who went as Gunmage Yuna from the same game, along with their friends Faus Ontengco and Dianne Lopez as Shuin and LeBlanc. The two sisters won third place and the People’s Choice Award, and were featured in an issue of the Culture Crash magazine (they appeared on the said issue’s cover as well). Since then she has been well-known for her beauty and well-done costumes, and has won several other cosplay awards to boot.

 Here are some og her Photos

Dream cars would not be impossible anymore
December 21, 2007

 
My family and I are planning to buy a car next year, we are planning to sell our old car and buy a new one. I ask for a Ford, but actually, we can’t afford it and so I was scold by my mother to be not so ambitious because it’s bad. Anyway, I am still looking for an affordable yet durable car over the net. I have seen many, and almost all have same price of the same brand. There are also other company who sell cars and can be paid monthly but with a high interest, it makes me think that, they doesn’t help us after all, it’s only good for impatient people but to wise buyers, no! They can’t be fooled! When I got to search for an auto loans I found this amazing car loans online that is the best, because you can loan for a new cars, used cars and even for a refinance of your current auto loan. It also helps consumers because they have an auto loan blog, which educated these interested people in auto financing. I will tell my mother about this. Therefore, for a better, choose this Get the Best auto loan now, it’s the best partner you can have. Nowadays, buying a car is not so hard after all, with this loan system now, any auto dealers can’t anymore fool you.

The 1st ITE Gen assembly this semester
November 16, 2007

 

4:30 pm -6:00 pm this day we had our general assembly for the discussion of events on this semester particularly the  Financial report, calendar of activities updates, PSITS ITE week activities, discuss about PAASCU next year,Silicongulf activities and many other essential matters. We consider it as the most successful ITE General Assembly this year. Not to mention our unprofessionally in time management but the outcome of the assembly. Ordinarily, students attend general assembly for the sake of the attendance, but this time, though there are so many errors and bugs happened a while ago like unprepared programs, speeches and presentation, but still the flow of the programs were followed, considering our  heroes of the day Ms. Catherine Remolleno, save us, who substitute the assigned Emcees since, the ASSIGNED EMCEES not there and late to come, Mr. Marlo Noval for letting us borrow his laptop with matching "mapansin jud ang wallpaper galore!". Successful? Because everybody participated in the open forum, they burst out their problem regarding financial matters and our functions. I am happy about it, though there are circumstances that feel me bad, but really, we appreciated it and at last! I feel that we are in the world of POLITICS, in the point that we now know student matters against us. We admit that if we would not utter things that what was going on to the program, if we still zip our mouth, we are not effective or we are being unfair to them. I’m really happy about the upshot, and we are expecting more challenges and blessings for the next general assembly. We the officers would like to extend our appreciation to Mr. Exander Barrios and Mr. Jerry Flores who facilitate us to be existent Officers since the First semester. For all of these experiences we have, having this position and responsibility we are more aware and the ability to grasp the real human race we are facing. We’re so lucky for these experiences. More challenges waited for us… So … MUST BREATH MORE!lol

Microsft Vista is out, Apple Leopard and Linux Rest in Zen
June 15, 2007

 

Windows Vista are getting in press lately and I’m wondering what the Apple and Linux are up to?

Apple 

By next month the Apple will be releasing the full-featured beta version of its new operating system: Mac OS X Leopard next month. One of the featureds the "TIME MACHINE" which you go back to the time you restore your files on your system

Linux

Hey don’t forget people it’s an open source. quiet frankly, almost everyday  minor revision to the kernel occurs  and its last major revision was in 2003. we’ll it’s because there aren’t millions of dollars in the piggy bank for a catchy media blitz. Linux is under constant development and has gotten so efficient at it that major releases have been repeatedly postponed because of lack of need.

Hot Seat the “Open source” and the NVU
June 11, 2007

 

It’s now on it’s hot seat, every now and then,as I browse to some tech news in the net, I always read about Open source and how significant it will be to us and how good is the impact if all the users in the world will be using the open source applications and operating system. So I’m into it, since it is free. But the problem may the developers encounter to the users is , you know ordinary people are are already use to this MS applications and to other sofwares which has a valuable cost.So much for that, I am also very interested with this the Nvu which stands for New View, it is an HTML editor brought to you by the open source comminity so it’s FREE wow! I’m definitely so  late to hear this for it was already released in 2005, sorry I’m poor in Tech latest news and updates but my real concern about this one is, it is a substitute for the expensive Dreamweaver , Front Page and Expression Web.But unlike those powerful web editors,that can cater all scripting languages that is needed in the Dynamic sites. Unlike this NVU. I hope NVU can be developed like of those features someday, I have not yet  explore the software much but I’m happy to hear it! Does anyone or anybody already using it?drop some comment and I’ll be happy to see it!and Thanks in advance.

Made with Nvu
