Codes On The Road

November 6, 2011

There was a time when I became so interested with the Quick Response Code (QR Code). Bar codes previously belong only in supermarkets, department stores, and production areas but now, they can be seen outside of these industries. QR codes, with the help of a reader, can easily connect you to a call, redirect you to a website link, or simply display a text message.

You need not carry a separate barcode scanner to be able to read them as there are free downloadable softwares that can be easily installed in your mobile phone. Talk about convenience at the palm of your hands.

Top Mobile Games

I guess people do stay young at heart. I say this because of the growing industry of gaming for mobile devices particularly iPhone and Android devices. Popular freemium games like Doodle Jump, Angry Birds, and Fruit Ninja saw a revenue increase ten times than what they generated last year in the Apple App Store.

Hanging With Friends and Angry Birds respectively dominated the charts for free and paid games in the Apple App Store for June in the US. On the other hand, Live Holdem Poker Pro and Robo Defense took the spot for the Google Android market. As a result of this, expect that more developers will jump in this profitable market.

Mobile Phone Evolution

July 6, 2011

Fifteen years ago, mobile phones are only considered as a luxury – something useful but not really that essential. But that was then and several developments have already happened. Mobile companies made a way to lower their units cost making it readily available/affordable for the public. Airtime has also became more reasonable as compared to before. Now, almost everyone in the Philippines has a mobile phone.

The need for more sophisticated cellphones also grows. We are content with voice and text features previously but now, we want those with cameras and mobile browsing capability. Amidst the popular brands, htc reviews seem to do well with consumers. Thus, it makes a good alternative from the leading cellphone brands. We only need some change sometimes.

Develop Your Language Mastery

June 23, 2011

It is said that ” sticks and stones may break my bones but words will not hurt me”. However, in most cases, this saying is not entirely true. The Bible even likened our tongue to a a small spark that can set fire a great forest. It is therefore important that we choose our words wisely.

In our age of technology, having alanguage master franklin can be proven helpful especially for those struggling to find the right words to say. It can be used to further widen our vocabulary and be a master of words. Hopefully as this skill is developed, we can easily filter words that can potentially harm people.

Monitoring Radars

June 23, 2011

Radars are essential in order to monitor parameters that are essential in maintaining control and safety. Though sometimes, like in the case when your driving in a highway, we become unconscious that we are already driving past the speed limit. Admit it. It happens.

Owning a whistler radar detector can be helpful in such case. It reminds us that there are devices near us that are set to monitor our performance. We are then made aware and easily adjust to the recommended limit.

It will not only help us prevent making violations but will also result to a safer environment for all.

Convenience and Portability

May 26, 2011

In this digital age of ours, isn’t it amazing how things are getting smaller in size but is expanding in function? Take the mobile phones as an example, not only did it became more handy but it is now equipped with mp3 players, internet browser, GPS, camera, video recorder, and God knows what else in the future.

Another evolving technology are the projectors. From the old acetate days to direct plugins to our computers. Size has also greatly improved. We need not live up with those heavy and bulky units as a pocket canon projector can already be purchased in the market.

Whatever technology brings to us in the next ten years, for sure, it will be something more convenient.

Global Meeting

April 27, 2011

Technology is bridging distances. Today is the age that children need not be as sad as the 80′s kids when their parents leave the country to work abroad. We now have internet video conferencing readily available. By simply signing in, families can have weekly conference with their loved one abroad.

Business wise, today is the age of globalization. Facilities like MegaMeeting video conferencing will help fill the gap for international meetings. The whole world can easily be made as one board room.

Thank God for technology!

Computer Surveillance Program

February 15, 2011

The internet has gone a long way since it was first introduced. From the dial-up speed of only 56kbps, we are now enjoying broadband internet that reaches more than 10Mbps. Websites have also grown in number and in style since then. There is now no limit to what you can stumble upon the information super highway. Consequently, threats have also grown considerably.

There are now malicious programs that records your keystrokes compromising your login credentials and making you vulnerable to identity theft. However, such programs can be used for our advantage. Keylogger programs can be equally helpful especially if you are sharing your computer with other people. You can use them as a computer surveillance to monitor how they use your computer.

With this, you can ensure younger members of the family are utilizing the computer in the right way. A sure way to monitor child safety.

Mobile Communications

February 5, 2011

The features of mobile phones that I truly appreciate aside from calls is SMS and conference calls.

SMS has been the economical way to go for simple messaging. In the Philippines, it has been the major means to connect with friends and loved ones. Greetings are now passed conveniently and immediately. In cases where SMS becomes a little drag, we can use conference calls instead.

Conference calling gives us the means to talk to several people at the same time. It is definitely a very convenient way for meetings were participants are spread across several locations.

With these features, I can’t help but be thankful for the advancement of mobile communications.

Go For a Reliable PC

January 12, 2011

In any business, having an appropriate set of computer to do the job is always a good thing. It is not wise to invest in units with specifications that does not meet the job requirement. Settling for them due to budget constraint decreases productivity. You may actually lose more than what you have saved.

Big computing jobs require a reliable industrial pc. Things are done at a faster time and more jobs are performed. This will definitely increase productivity. Also, it reduces the worker’s frustration resulting from unreliable units.
