to local google versions.For example I type in google.com and I get redirected to google.com.ph (Philippines)I've been trying to find an easy way to avoid getting redirected for so long. Seems the solution was simple enough.The link I now use for google is this:www.google.com/ncr or www.google.com/webhpI think it works for all country local sites.Hope it helps!

Truthfully there is no contest. Bayantel wins this one hands down.Bayantel DSL delivers their promised speed and also allows port forwarding, an important feature to most of us. Globe Broadband on the other hand, has intermittent connections, slow speeds during peak hours and no port forwarding.Too bad Bayantel DSL is not available at my Baguio location.

Not the blogs, or the bloggers. The blog system.I just spent some time to try out the Friendster blog system, and I now know that it is as buggy, unreliable, and unwieldy as the regular Friendster page. It is extremely hard to perform advanced editing and customization on it. Your posts get lost in a bunch of errors. It has the steepest learning curve I have ever seen in a blogging site.Here's

I will not write a review for the new Call of Duty World at War.Why? Because I can't play the damn thing properly. I played about four levels before I gave up. I tweaked the settings to death and even tried it on the lowest possible settings! This game stutters at 640x480 noAA, low textures, no effects whatsoever. Crap.For those who want to know what my hardware specs are.Core2 Duo 2.4Ghz (

Conquering the world has never been so much fun.Red Alert 3 builds on the story and style left by Red Alert 2. Its story and gameplay, much like its predecessor, is fun, entertaining. Units as strange as the sonic disruptor armed dolphins and bears, and as unique as mecha airplanes are at the heart of this sturdy RTS game.As expected the RA3 storyline is as corny and funny as the whole red alert

If you like war movies, this is a great game for you.Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway is the third installment in the Brothers in Arms series from Ubisoft and Gearbox Software. Set in World War 2, the game plays out during Operation Market Garden an ambitious attempt to win the war by going through Holland.Unlike other games in the genre it is centered more on team tactics rather than the power

I am very happy with my Core 2 Duo but the specs on this new processor may just be what I need to get out of bed.The new Core i7 is the next generation of desktop processors from Intel. From what I have read it will be released in 3 forms: Core i7-965 Extreme Edition, Core i7-940, and Core i7-920. The extreme edition runs at 3.2GHz, 4 cores, and has unlocked multipliers for extreme overclocking

Such power, such elegance.If anyone ever asked me what I would like for the holiday season this would be it.Apple MacBook Prohttp://www.apple.com/macbookpro/A 15-inch laptop that is more powerful than my PC! I can already imagine tons of fun stuff I could do with one. True, there maybe some more powerful desktop replacement laptops out there, but this one, with it's sleek exterior, took my breath

Why is your 512kbps connection downloading at only 64KB/sec?I asked this question too when I first encountered broadband connections in the internet shops of Manila a couple of years back. The staff (who were also my friends by the way) kindly answered my question, it was all about units they said. Here's the short explanation.Pay close attention to the letters. kbps means kilobits per second as

I recently subscribed to Globe Wireless Broadband here in Baguio City. Although I wanted a regular DSL line, none of the wired ISPs in the city had services in our area. I had to go wireless. I chose Globe because their best competitor Smart with their Smart BRO service has a very bad reputation in our city.To apply for the Globe Broadband service you must prepare these requirements:1.

After a 4 days of thinking, I finally decided to start a blog. (Actually what i wanted to start was a technology website but unfortunately I don't have enough money to fund the hosting charges.) So, what should I write about now?I have no idea.Hopefully, this would be the start of something useful for, well, everyone.
