Iphone sim unlock in the Philippines

August 31, 2007 By dragon 1 Comment

   

There are now a handful of iPhone hacks available in the 'net.  All of which can unlock your phone so that it can be used other than the carrier AT&T, but none of them are in the least bit user friendly.

One of the first was GeoHot's hardware unlock method.  This teenager demonstrated and clearly showed to the world how it was done.   But the complicated process involved some soldering of contact points, plus some software modification already developed in an iphone wiki collective site.

His first Iphone was originally up for sale at Ebay, with crazed users bidding it up to the millions, but he didn't fall for it, and eventually settled with Terry Daidone, the founder of Certicell, who traded his unlocked iphone for a Nissan 350Z car and 3 8GB iPhones.    Read more...

Ateneo edges UST in UAAP thriller on Kirk Long’s buzzer beater

August 30, 2007 By moneyball 1 Comment

Add Kirk Long to the growing list of Blue Eagle classic game heroes.

Ateneo trailed by 1 with less than 20 seconds left in a must win game against UST this afternoon.

Ford Arao got the ball in the post but was effectively covered.  Main man Chris Tiu was similarly blanketed.

There didnt seem to be any hope but Ford found Kirk in right quartercourt at the 3 second mark. The rookie uncorked a jumpshot from about 18 feet over the outstretched arms of UST big man Jervy Cruz and the ball swished through the net as the buzzer sounded creating a frenzy of blue everywhere.

Wowowee Wilyonario Controversy: Joey vs. Willie Update

August 30, 2007 By eee Leave a Comment

After hearing Willie Revillame's statement yesterday (August 29), Joey de Leon gave his reaction through a radio interview with Ali Sotto and Arnold Clavio this morning and later, a statement on Eat Bulaga.  In his radio interview, he was using words like "traidor", "malansa", "sinungaling", "animal", "bobo", at "mayabang" to describe Willie.  These words cannot be used on TV but can be spoken on radio.  He also said that in he never mentioned Willie or his game in his "teasing".

Later during Eat Bulaga, Joey's main point was to have Willie "explain before he complain".  Joey said that Willie's crying (without tears) was just an act.  He said that Willie did not even explain why such an "abnormal" incident happened during their "Wilyonaryo" portion.  Read more...

Joey de Leon vs. Willie Revillame

August 30, 2007 By eee Leave a Comment
Following the controversial "slip" during his Wowowee show, Willie Revillame went on national TV and addressed Joey de Leon (host of rival noontime show, Eat Bulaga) for Joey's "cheater" remarks.  Willie was very angry and vehemently denied that there was cheating. 
 
Later on, he was apologetic and quite tearful.  He said that all he wanted to do was to help people and make them happy.  Even when he was sick, he  would still go on his show.  He apologized to the bosses of ABS-CBN and said that he is ready to leave the show if the management decides to take him off.  Meanwhile, Joey de Leon, who has just arrived last night from Hongkong, said  that he will reply to Willie's statements during tomorrow's edition of Eat Bulaga.

Total Lunar Eclipse Visible in the Philippines -Aug. 28,2007

August 26, 2007 By eee 2 Comments

After early this year's March lunar eclipse, another total eclipse of the moon will be happening on August 28.  The total eclipse of the Moon will be visible in the Philippines, in eastern Asia, the Pacific, Australasia, America except the eastern part of South America and the north-eastern parts of North America, and Antarctica. 

In Manila, we would not be able to see the start of the eclipse but will be able to see the total phase around 7pm.  The moon will rise at 6:08 P.M. on 28 August and will set at 5:16 A.M. on 29 August.  The last time I remember watching a total lunar eclipse was in Baguio.  Can't remember the year but I think it was still in the 80's.  It was really a spectacular sight and the sky was just full of stars and I kept making wishes every time I saw a falling star.  After a while, I stopped making wishes coz there's just too many falling stars.   Read more...
