Smartphone Sales in the US
Thursday, July 22, 2010
I have seen the best and the worst in the phone markets in Asia, Europe and in the US. I am involved in the mobile phone retail sector and these smart phones are part of that. The prices have been pretty competitive in the smart phone sector and I'm sure it wouldn't be a pretty sight for some of the brands this year. True enough the GOOGLE Nexus One took a mighty blow when it decided to stop sales of this press worthy gadget in the US. I got a chance to see this particular bit with a friend from work who was doing some tests for wireless Internet connection and file transfer capabilities. At first, I knew the software choices were going to be less than the great competitor Apple IPHONE. Function wise some of the software available on these devices were not bug free. Coding and properly marketing these certain components are vital to the development of more proprietary software. Sales did not pick up even after all the promising reviews and a dismal number of handsets were only released. Only the other telephone operators outside the US would now be able to release this device. They are possibly also looking for some ways to launch a Nexus II if everything works out price wise.
I hope it comes close to IPHONE and Sidekick Sales in the near future since development for better software would trigger a wider choice as far as smart phones are concerned. How cheap they can sell these handsets would depend on market demand and raw materials. Free applications wouldn't hurt too!

You Can Do Better! Go UE RED WARRIORS!
Wednesday, July 21, 2010
Okay so the UE Red Warriors lost their first two games. How do I tell you guys to step it up?! How do I tell you that there are a few people disappointed; but still support you all the way? What would I feel after seeing you lose another one? I am optimistic don't get me wrong... but if you want to do something about it... NOW would be a good time to do so.
I am a full blooded warrior. My Dad was a warrior, my Mom studied and taught in UE a few years back. I have but the highest regards with my Alma Mater and who wouldn't, I got my Computer Engineering degree there too. As far as I'm concerned, I have all the reasons to subliminally support you guys no matter what. These past few games though; when we are all rooting for them till our throat erupts, I somehow felt quite bad about you not winning. I understand you feel the same. This I think is the best time to analyze what went wrong. Why are there no Assistant Coaches available on the bench?[Even my Dad could do it! (^_^) do you need ones who can work pro bono?!] Are we running out of coaching staff? Is administration to blame for on the recent losses? Budget? Gameplay? Or did the other school just played better?! I guess it is bad to put an accusing finger to anyone at this point but I together with the thousands of people who support the UE Red Warriors want to know how we could help. Don't you know your online popularity is phenomenal?!
Hayyy.. (-_-)".... You know what guys, I've never considered myself a fan, but a part of the team. I am supporting you no matter what. I'm glad I got that out. Paul Lee is doing a damn fine job, but please Coach, stop experimenting while the game is on. We (including me!) need to help out each other, step up Martinez's fast plays, have the centers go faster up and down the court and get the guards to be lethal on the outside. The rookie free throw shots would have done a mile if the didn't miss that much like the last games. I'm pretty sure the next ones would be a cinch if we all work together. Coach Chiongson and the rest of whats left with your coaching staff, please work on it. I together with the Red Tribe and the THOUSANDS who believe in you; will never back out! You got my support! We may have lost some games but I believe the WAR hasn't been won yet! Let's show them how tough the warriors are!

Getting Experts to do it!
Tuesday, July 20, 2010
People were a little shocked yesterday when they heard the news that GLEE teen star CHARICE from the Philippines was getting her jaw sides BOTOX'D while being seen by millions of people in public television. I'm really okay with it unlike some Filipinos who still find it taboo to have anything retouched at an early age. If it is cosmetic and it will enhance what she looks like I'm all for it! I would want that for myself too pretty soon and I'm studying what procedures would be good for me. I would like to find doctors that I could trust in the plastic surgery plano area. I'm sure they will do a good job with their proven track record and inclusion in AI4PS which is the premier institute for plastic surgeons in the Dallas area! I hope I can get something done there soon because of some fat deposits I would like to get rid of on my sides, belly and chin area.
Safety should always be first. These procedures can be very dangerous so if you would like to even think about getting it done; we should always seriously take in consideration what they have done in the past and what expertise they have so you won't be sorry. Get the best ones to do it for you because after all it is your body. CHARICE may have had it done; but that doesn't mean she did not think about it first. Getting certified plastic surgeons is the key. Would you do otherwise?!

The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel leads this not so magical movie in the theaters nationwide. Yes it was a little disappointing to tell you honestly because I really expected a lot with this movie. Why in the world would you cast someone like Nicolas Cage in the first place?! Was he used efficiently acting wise?! I doubt it.
When the movie started I had a hunch it was going to be graphics wise a failure. It wasn't spectacular enough. Every bit of it was mediocre. Well the large metal animals like the bull and eagle were not. That's beside the point though because if they could get something like that spectacular the small things like plasma and fire should have been better, after all it was the staple offensive magic that they used for the film.
The magic done on the fight scenes were too small to damage anyone. The final one with Morgana was the same too. It could have been better to do a dragon ball like energy shot rather than a few fairy like electricity balls. Any person could have survived that attack. If they are planning to do a sequel with this one I'm not going to be surprised if it doesn't perform in the box office. It is just hype that made me watch this I guess plus the fact that Nicolas Cage was in it.
Would I recommend you to watch a story about a boy who is a near relative of Merlin who had 3 apprentice magic users that later on became 1) an antagonist of Nicolas Cage and 2) his girlfriend?! The answer is a big NO. There are a lot better movies out there than this one unfortunately. Maybe kids would love this but with the romantic scenes on it, I think they marked it PG13. Would it have that hype without magic or Nicolas Cage on it?! Hell no!
This only will get 2 out of 5 kumags, at least it was descent.
