New Email Account?

I finished checking my personal email addresses this morning and just now, I was notified that I have a new mail in gmail. I checked it and was so surprised at what I saw.

Gmail Account Creation Confirmation
I did not create a new email address and I do not know who is the owner of the above address. I initially thought my account has been compromised until I clicked the link in it (click the image to go to gmail help).

Whew! That made me nervous. Has this happened to you also?

Lenovo USB Hub

I am a heavy user of USB ports that one of my requirements for a gadget should have this capability. I definitely forgot that the answer to limited USB ports is a USB hub!

Last month, I joined PTB’s Lenovo contest in the hope to win a new laptop. I didn’t win that laptop instead, I got this USB hub. With this hub, I can now use my flash drive, connect my mobile phone to PC, and our external had drive all at the same time without worrying about limited USB port.


Thanks Pinoy Tech Blog family!

My Last Buy for 2010

Actually, the last item I bought for 2010 is the most expensive one but is not for me.

Last December 30, we went to SM Southmall, determined to get my mom her own laptop. Determined because the laptop promos are until December 31 only. We were successful with our objective and here’s what we got.

Meet ASMB. She is Acer’s AS4745G-352G32Mnks. We got her from Accent Micro where we also got Sapphire and two other laptops. It is so thin and I love it. We even joke my mom that we’ll give her Sapphire, our laptop, in exchange for ASMB (Ayex Sungit, Maxyn Bugnutin). Aside from her thinness, here are other reasons why ASMB is a sure winner.

Instead of the free Windows 7 starter, we opted for the RAM upgrade. We added PhP500 so that ASMB’s RAM is now 4GB. Thanks to my friend, Neil, for helping me install its operating system. I have set it up and its now ready for their use. I just hope my sisters will take care of it while my mom is still an LGU slave. Haha! How about you, what was your last buy for 2010?
