It’s nice that projects like these turn out to be great products when they hit the market, which the Vers 1Q definitely is, and it’s even better that they actually reach the Philippines.

Avoid Facebook 'graphic app' Privacy Warning Hoax

Rappler readers and Facebook users sent out warning of a hoax making the rounds on social media.

Facebook 'graphic app' Privacy Warning Hoax

The hoax, which is based on the fear of having people you don't want seeing your posts and photos because of a "graphic app," is a fabrication. While the hoax has been worded a number of different ways, the intent is the same: to misinform and cause you to waste time disabling your ability to see others' posts.

Yahoo! to Acquire Tumblr for $1 Billion

Yahoo is the second most popular search engine on the web (according to Alexa.com) but has had issues in the last couple of years to stay relevant. 


Among its top problems is its aging demographic, which contributes to the company’s lack of coolness. Yahoo’s Chief Financial Officer Ken Goldman even admitted this, saying the company has to make itself cool again, something it “got away from for a couple of years”.

Two separate buy-bust operations conducted by a joint police and Globe Telecom security team resulted in the arrest of five people involved in the illegal sale of WIMAX modems in the provinces of Laguna and Cavite.

In the first buy-bust operation, Jose Narcida, a resident of Moonwalk Village in Las Pinas City, is alleged to be behind such illegal activity. Following numerous reports of illegal pull-out of Globe WIMAX modems, a joint team from Globe Security, Anti-Fraud and Investigation division and police personnel conducted an entrapment operation last April 15 where Reynald Denapo of Dasmarinas, Cavite was arrested. He was caught in possession of a Globe WIMAX modem he was offering for sale in the amount of PHP3,500.

SKYbroadband "Fastest Connection for Every Lifestyle"

I can’t imagine my life living without an internet and I'm sure, I'm not the only one. So for me, the internet is already a part of my daily basic needs. It is indeed essential to my lifestyle as a student, a friend, and a blogger.

Everyday, I start my day in checking my emails, my accounts on different social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and also checking the status of my blog. And more often, while having breakfast, instead of reading a broadsheet-size newspaper, I read news through my iPad. It’s more convenient if you ask me.

And on a middle of the day, I read some of my favorite blogs/sites and/or Watching movies and episodes online.

At night, that’s the time I connect to my friends 'cause that the time that they're all in their respective homes. I chat with them on Skype or Facebook 'til midnight talking about some funny/serious/secret stuff. :))


With all that browsing, watching and chatting, I obviously need an internet connection that is fast and reliable.
An internet connection that will not challenge my patience in waiting for single page to load for a minute or two and will not make me wait long hours just for a movie to fully load.

Instagram Sold By Facebook For $1 Billion



According to Forbes News, Instagram, a photo-sharing apps for Apple Products and Androids, was bought by Facebook according to a message posted by Mark Zuckerberg. The purchase price of $1 billion will be paid in cash and Facebook shares.

Here's what Mark Zuckerberg said on his blog post:

"I'm excited to share the news that we've agreed to acquire Instagram and that their talented team will be joining Facebook.

For years, we've focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family. Now, we'll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests.

We believe these are different experiences that complement each other. But in order to do this well, we need to be mindful about keeping and building on Instagram's strengths and features rather than just trying to integrate everything into Facebook.

That's why we're committed to building and growing Instagram independently. Millions of people around the world love the Instagram app and the brand associated with it, and our goal is to help spread this app and brand to even more people.

We think the fact that Instagram is connected to other services beyond Facebook is an important part of the experience. We plan on keepingfeatures like the ability to post to other social networks, the ability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you want, and the ability to have followers and follow people separately from your friends on Facebook.
