When it comes to computer parts and assembly I always go to PC Express to get the things that I need for my freelance computer repair gig. A few years back I always have to visit the branch directly since the Internet was not that accessible and even if it was, the website wasn’t there yet (or maybe I haven’t found it yet
). The website was made accessible some how and they are updating it gradually. I am used to talking to people more than just reading the PDF price list that they have so I’d often call them rather than paying them a visit with no guarantee that I will get what I want. They have posted a “Hotline” on their website that turns out to be COLD since it will keep you waiting for an operator on a minimum of 25 minutes. Even if you have nothing to do all day this can be annoying. To avoid having the same experience as I had I listed a few numbers of their branches on this post together with some from RUN UP Philippines.

There are a lot of Globe Tatoo unlocker tools available on the internet nowadays. I just noticed that my friend is having problems with versions similar to mine the “Huawei E1552. He said that the algorithm option does not work, this simply means that the E1552 can only be opened manually and not by his current unlocker. I happen to have tried over 5 programs and got one that really works, I’m using it now and got my USB modem opened. I would like to share this by unlocking your modem for free provided that it’s a E1552. You know the procedure right? Just send me the IMEI and I’ll do the rest. The settings for the modem is everywhere. I just noticed that some the settings really vary, based on older post by other users the optional settings were on CHAP whereas on my settings its PAP.

Reading my emails as usual, I came across this article from IT Business Edge saying that he (Don Tennant) no longer wants his iPhone or any products made by Apple itself. After reading the article it made sad that he marked iPod Touch and iPhone users as lapdogs. The issue is 8 months old but it was pretty much insulting on my side as an Apple consumer and I had to speak for myself.
I know that human rights is a big deal but I think the blog went a bit overboard by saying harsh things to the consumer. Not all consumers know these things and informing the public on how Apple run things is more than enough. The blog though is easily indexed by search engines because of the keywords used as a lot of people are looking into this nifty piece of technology and wants to enjoy it’s benefits. From what I can see Don wanted to inform the public and get its sympathy and teach Apple a lesson by boycotting the company which is one in a million chances could happen but then again would take more than a simple blog entry that bashes its consumers rather than getting a on to their good side.
“And it’s even more galling that the media and Apple enthusiasts buy into it like docile lap dogs, happily chasing the bones that Jobs throws out, and reverently licking up the crumbs under his theatrical table.”

Great news or a new problem? NTC has sent a directive to the big 3 mobile companies here in the Philippines. There were no rates given yet but it will be ? per 6 seconds? From what I’ve heard the first 6 seconds will be for a small amount then the succeeding charges will be different.
I don’t want to be a pessimist nor an antagonist to the idea but whatever rates they propose, we can do nothing about it since mobile communications is becoming more of a necessity than luxury.
