Friendster Problems

Have you ever log on to your Friendster account and have log in page like this? This happens especially if you are using a Firefox Internet Browser.

With all honesty, I really don't know what is happening to Friendster. This does not happens all the time. But it usually happens during night time, Philippine time.

If you can explain what is happening to Friendster, please leave a post and explain it to us. Guess what, some says it is a part of site maintenance. But my question is, should this really be the case almost every night? Hmmmm... I think Friendster should solve this because it pissed me off... not only me I am sure. Because no one wants to browse to webpage like this. Do you?

Aside from this, I think Friendster should improve the image uploading system. I think it is harder to upload picture on Friendster than some other sites.

If you have further comments about Friendster, please post it below.

Review on Coby DVD 209 Player

This small sleek amazing DVD player really caught my attention of giving it a review. I just bought it and tested it. Coby DVD 209 is 1.35” thick and approximately 6” width x 4” height. This sleek DVD player comes with a sleek ,small remote control.

Covering a wide range of DVD recognition formats, this small yet powerful DVD player can definitely deliver the movie that you want to see. It doesn't matter whether or not the copy is original, it can play original DVDs and even the DVD+/- RW, CD RW, etc.

The biggest advantage that it has is that, of all portable DVD players that I have seen and tested, this is definitely in top 5.

But here are some facts that you may want to consider:

This Coby DVD 209 player is USA patented, but has in its back “Made in China”. Its parts probably came from the US, but it was assembled in China.

This DVD player has a wide range of DVD format recognition, but still not as wide as those generic DVD players (also China Made), that are also real cheap players. This is why if you downloaded a movie from Torrent sites and burn it on a DVD RW, it has a bigger chance that it will not play.

Conclusion

If you are using original and copied DVD's even those 16 in 1 movies, this DVD player can be a complete replacement of your DVD players. But if you are used to download movies from the net and burn it on a DVD, I think you have to think twice.

Enegosyo.ph: Philippine Eloading Business for Filipinos

It has been more than a year that I am with Enegosyo. So far, I am completely satisfied with the services. But here's my personal review for this eloading business for my almost 2 years of using enegosyo business services.

Advantages
First of all, enegosyo loads almost everything. Not only almost all the phone networks (I don't know if it is already open to red mobile) is being loaded, but also covers internet cards and online games. It is like all in one sim eloading business. It is like having a mobile eloading store.

Compared to Smart and Globe eloading business, enegosyo offers a wider variety of loading service which makes it really a big plus in comparison to others.

Secondly, it offer via cell phone eloading and via computer (using internet) eloading. This means that if you only have a phone, you can have this business. If you have an internet connection, the more that you can have this business. Outstanding isn't it?

Disadvantages
The biggest disadvantage so far that I have seen with Enegosyo is the mode of eloading the ewallet. If you are living in the province and you are far away from any BPI bank, better not to have eloading business with Enegosyo. Bank charges are really high, around Php 50-100 per deposit to Enegosyo account except BPI.

Though Enegosyo provided the "Weepay", their card loading wallet, still, it is not available nationwide.

My advice, look first for the nearest BPI bank in your area if there is, before you engage in this business. BPI don't charge a penny in your deposits whether it is interbranch or local.

The second disadvantage is a lower rate of profit comparing to Smart and Globe. This is interconnected with the first disadvantage. If you are also paying for your deposits, then the lower your profit will be because not only that it will cost you a bank deposit fee charge, it also has a lower profit margin.

If you are also using only your cellphone, you will also loose 1 peso per eload, thus, another minus from your profit. But if you have an internet connection, loading through the internet is free of charge.

To solve this problem as I said, look first a BPI bank in your area. If you have a BPI bank, you can definitely maximize your profit with Enegosyo.

Review on LG KP500 Cookie

At last, LG500 is finally here. It's not a high end phone in comparison to iPhone or Omnia. But just like what everybody says, "you get what you paid for".

Nonetheless, LG500 Cookie has no other rival as of the moment being a semi-hi-end phone. It costs only somewhere from Php 11,000-12,000, a huge difference from Ominia and iPhone.

A small phone that can be grasp in your palm, Cookie is also excellent in its Active UI (user interface) being a touch screen phone, having an improved no-delay feature. This also comes with stylus with a little use because of easy navigation feature.

It has an 11.9mm real slim body, with matching 3" display screen, plus hand writing recognition function. A real sleek feature for a cheaper price.

Some set backs:
It has a modified audio jack which means that you cannot use the regular audio jack 2.3mm or 3.5mm (an additional proprietary intention of LG probably).

It has a 3.0Mega Pixel Camera with mediocre photo output.

Summary:
LG500 Cookie is not a hi-end touch screen phone. But it can do serve its purpose, to ditch the stylus with touch screen feature. It's not that expensive which means that it can be a good alternative against the hi-end touch screen phones.
