Posted on November 30, 2008 - Filed Under Phones | 9 Comments
I just read LG’s announcement that they’re setting the retail price for the LG KP500 (or LG Cookie) at Php 11,900. Compare this to other touchscreen phones in the market, like the iPhone 3G that Globe is selling for Php37,599 - Php43,799, and Sony’s Xperia X1 at Php42,500. Now, I’m impressed with the X1, but [...]

Prices have fallen down dramatically over the last decade, while features have vastly improved. This got me thinking: if I was to build a brand new PC, what’s the cheapest desktop rig that can be assembled? What specs can it have? Can it be built with new parts under 10K?
In order to answer this, I [...]

The first hard drive I ever owned was in the region of 10GB. At that time, it seemed big enough for all my needs as a student - but that was the Windows 98 era. Nowadays, Windows XP alone would gobble up a sizeable portion of the space, and don’t even get me started on [...]

“Tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are.”
