Anberlin's newest album "Dark is the way, Light is a place" just got leaked, well you really can't say it leaked cause they started selling a few batches today over at New York so probably one of those guys did this. Nevertheless, it's one heck of an album. Go download it now. Personal favorites are "We owe this to ourselves", "Art of war", "Pray tell", "To the wolves", "Depraved", "Impossible". The whole album rocks!

Filipinos=Asians
I just got home from work, and apart from the same ol' boring day I had this friendly debate with my co workers. The argument? Both of them said that Filipinos were not Asians (gasp!) while I kept insisting that we are Asians. Funny how things work, huh? I never thought that there would be anybody questioning us being Asians. Now, I'm not good with history and geography, heck I suck at it! I usually fail my history tests, though I do get the occasional good scores. Anyway, after browsing a few sites I came out completely surprised. I never thought that there were a lot of people questioning us being Asians, some of them even Filipinos. A lot of them pointed out that the Philippines was never connected to the "Asian" continent, you know, the big piece of land where China sits. They also go on to say that the Philippines is near the Pacific Ocean thus considering us a part of the Pacific Islanders, right.
Now, there are two things that I would like to point out, actually make that three. First off, if you say that we are not a part of the "Asian" continent then you must also think that the Japanese, Malaysians, Singaporean (is that what you call the guys over at Singapore?), Indonesians, etc. as not being Asians too, right? Secondly from what I know, albeit I admit I know very little of history, is that the Pacific Islanders are the Hawaiians, and the three -sia (polynesia, melanesia, and micronesia. and no I didn't know this, El Googs helped me out). Lastly, if you do not consider us being Asians just because we don't look like our neighbors, the Chinese (no offense my Chinese brothers, it's just that everybody thinks you're the only Asians) then you are dead wrong. Consider the Indians, the Indonesians, the Malaysians, and the others. Not all Asians look alike.......just some, ok?
So, there you have it. I strongly and firmly believe that I am an Asian, the Filipinos are Asian, and the Philippines is an Asian county.

I'm back
Finally, after a few months of hiatus, I'm back! I got to think about a lot of things, my blog included. I've decided that I don't need to cover all the mobile phone news these days, we have the great guys doing that (Engadget) already. I'd just stick more on what I do with my life and also the technology around my life. So, here goes to a successful and hopefully long running blog, without the occasional breaks. Cheers everybody!
P.S. thanks so much to sweetsaltyme, because of you I had the urge of getting up from my couch and start writing. Again, being a couch potato is what I'm best at. Seriously. Please visit her blogspot too (sweet and salty)

Video of Nexus One's genesis part 2
I posted abut the video of Nexus One's early beginnings yesterday and now we have the second part of the series. On this episode we'll talk about the screen and the technology under it. Enough talk, just watch the movie at the source link.
Rumored Windows Mobile 7 specs
A week before the coveted MWC, the first batch of rumors have now surfaced regarding Microsoft's latest and greatest offering yet, Windows Mobile 7. The folks over at PPCGeeks just received information regarding the operating system. According to the info, WinMo 7 will sport an interface that is very similar and reminiscent of the Zune HD. We should also expect a completely revamped start screen. While the UI (codenamed METRO) was described to be "very clean", "soulful", and "alive". Now, for every pot of gold, there's always a leprechaun, right? No exemptions here, with all those goodies comes one bad news though not for everyone. WinMo 7 is reported to miss multi-tasking, with applications simply pausing themselves when in the background. Also, there's some talk about WinMo 7 missing Flash support. Aww, it looks like Microsoft's following Apple's footsteps. Other informations were that the OS will support full XboX gaming integration, full Zune integration, full support for social networking, and a try-before-buy system in the Marketplace. Hardware is set to the previously rumored info - September 2010. Full info at the source link.

Xperia X10 confirmed to have Android upgrade!
Good news and bad news for all the Sony Ericsson fanatics out there. First the good news, Sony Ericsson's front liner and first offering on Android, the Xperia X10, will receive an Operating System upgrade. If you'll recall the Xperia X10 only has Android 1.6 as its OS. What OS might it upgrade to? There's no word yet, though we're most probably looking at a 2.0, though a 2.1 upgrade won't hurt either. On the other hand, the bad news comes from the fact that the X10 WILL HAVE Android 1.6 straight out from the box, the OS upgrade will come from a future firmware update. We'll just have to wait and see when that firmware update comew, though sooner is better rather than later.
Video of Nexus One's genesis
Here goes a video of how the Nexus One came to be, from the concept designs, to the implementation of softwares. You'll hear from Google's own Erick Tseng, HTC's Tomasz Hasinski, and Audience's Lloyd Watts (Audience was the one who provided for the dual mic noise reduction technology). The video clip is only 4 minutes long but you'll be able to see a sneak peek of the Nexus One's docks - there are three docks to be exact. Video at the source link.
Sony Ericsson Aspen caught on video
Sony Ericsson's first offering on the full-QWERTY-in-a-candy-bar form factor, the Aspen, has now been captured in its full glory on video. Though the video is in Spanish (I think?), you can see the Aspen sized up against the iPhone, the N900, and the Blackberry Bold 9700. The video shows you the physical aspects of the Aspen as well as a simple walkthrough of the Phone's UI which is actually Windows Mobile 6.5.3, in case you forgot. Video at the source link.

Sony Ericsson to pump out an AMOLED phone at MWC?
A source has been kind enough to leave us with a little hint about what Sony Ericsson are prepping for MWC. Though "the source" didn't say anything revealing, he did leave a message saying "AMOLED anyone? :D". Though AMOLED isn't anything new, other manufacturers have already been rolling out phones with AMOLED screens, this is a good sign for Sony Ericsson and it looks like they're going the right direction this year. Let's see what they have for us this coming MWC. Oh, and by the way, Sony Ericsson's MWC countdown has started, hit the source link to go there. It really looks promising so I urge you to hit that link.....hit it already!
