The security I’m talking about [...]

Yey! I made it to the latest group writing project by ProBlogger with the theme of ‘Top 5‘ in which bloggers can join by writing a post about their own ‘Top 5′ of almost anything they want, like, love or even hate. If you join this group writing project and you’re really lucky, Darren Rowse [...]

Yes, after full seven days of being away from blogging I’m back! Woot! This post would be short though and a quick one. I should be in bed right this moment so that I could get back some badly needed sleep and rest (it’s 1:25am as I write this) because the past week of school [...]

Hooray! Gmail is now open for public sign-up to internet users here in the Philippines. I just found out about this a while as I was about to check my original Gmail account. I noticed a new layout in the home page and suspicions that something new is in offer and indeed it is a [...]

Back in December, I wrote about how Microsoft has made rather discreet upgrades to their free e-mail service, Hotmail. It was in preparation for its supposed transition into the new Windows Live Mail brand.
Three days ago, Microsoft have made a turn-around and decided not to push through with the upgrade of Hotmail into Windows [...]
