Coming off fresh from a weekend tour in Metro Manila (including a set at Eastwood mall), the band is back here in Cebu focused in promoting their new album. “We hope that this move will allow the public to get a feel what kind of songwriting we have in our album. It’s also our little Christmas treat giving the track out for free,” shares guitarist Angelo.

The band has performed in numerous gigs and festivals since starting 2008, making appearances in shows like the Visayan Music Festival, Fete de la Musique, Sonicboom Sinulog Blast Off, and being featured in local cable’s RCTV 36 show, Tambayan Sa Outpost.

EDGE, NEO’s new Ultra-Slim Laptop launched in Cebu!

October 16, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Who would ever think a few years ago that notebooks, laptops or “netbooks”-those computers so small, they fit into designer bags, would be as trendy, sought-after and diverse as mobile phones? The IT generation’s constant need for up-to-date information, social networking and alternative means of communication has given rise to a wide array of ready-to-go, work-anywhere personal computers in a multitude of shapes, sizes, specs and even colors.

NEO, one of the country’s leading manufacturers and distributors of excellent and dependable consumer portables, introduces its latest line of mobile computers, aptly named the EDGE – a new concept that will perfectly fit the new fast-paced and exciting digital lifestyle, great for work and leisure, or both.

First impressions would surely last as Neo’s EDGE Z3240 is maybe one of the smartest and hippest looking laptop you will ever see. It’s a wonder how this carefully engineered work of art packs so many great features in such a compact frame that redefines the term “ultra-thin”.  Its compact build may give you the impression that this laptop is not a serious computing machine. We beg to differ. The Edge Z3240 is actually a travelling executive’s perfect companion, ideal for both business and multimedia applications even on long trips because it has a longer battery life than standard-voltage notebooks. And, it is powered by Intel – the industry ’s leader in processors, this slim beauty carries a big stick. The 120 GB hard drive is sufficient enough for downloaded movies, music, pictures and all those work-related dragging stuff such as spreadsheets and documents.

SM City Cebu Launches Free Mallwide Wifi

August 1, 2009 By 1 Comment

July 31, 2009 – SM City Cebu has given more reasons for shopaholics to regularly visit the mall. Apart from SM Cebu’s wide parking spaces and vast array of tenants, SM City Cebu is now giving wireless fidelity (wifi) access to all – FREE.

The free wifi access is another innovation in SM City Cebu’s quest to be the premier mall destination of Cebuano Shoppers. This innovation would allow shoppers with Wi-Fi capable devices to conveniently access the web wherever they are within the mall’s premises, even the carpark.

The unveiling of this new service was covered by numerous media outlets, from radio stations to print media, including the Cebu Bloggers Society (whose 2 active members Sinjin and Jose won the 1st and 2nd prizes for the Photoblog contest). The launch featured the initial free Wi-Fi access at the SM City Cebu Northwing Atrium. As of August 4, the service is already available mallwide.

The free Wi-Fi launch in SM Cebu was simultaneously launched with SM Iloilo and SM Bacolod. To date, this brings 13 SM Malls offering free Wi-Fi access since it was first initiated at SM Marikina in February. By October this year, the SM management aims to have all its 36 SM Malls in the Philippines offer free Wi-Fi access.

The free Wi-Fi access is provided by ISP PhilCom Inc. (Philippine Global Communications Inc.). The speed has capacity to serve up to 200 users all at the same time, at an amazing 8 mbps. Though the mall averages 100,000 to 200,000 daily foot traffic, not all have access to Wi-Fi enabled devices and not all accesses the web simultaneously thus connection would still be stable.

So, head now to SM City Cebu and experience the fast internet access on the go – while shopping, of course!

This entry is patterned from Nancy Cudis (original post).

Overclocking in Cebu

June 18, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Over a month ago the first overclocking event was organized in the Philippines, and CBS was there to cover the event. The event was sponsored by ASUS and hosted by Ryan Yu, the host of the TV show “TechIsland”. According to the presenters and ASUS, this is the first overclocking competition in the Philippines where teams battle each other to find out who can produce the highest clock speed with the provided hardware. The overclocking show is the main feature of the two-week Asus Ultimate PC Fair held at SM City Cebu.

Two teams composed of four computer geeks from iStorya (that’s the local community forum for Cebu) fought on who to become the best overclockers in Cebu!  The teams were Cebu Xtream and Sugbo Elite. I was too engrossed with the event and the prize giving!

The following categories were part of the criteria in the ratings:

  • Highest % Overclock
  • Highest CPU Mhz
  • Highest Bclock
  • Highest memory speed (any timing)
  • Highest 3DMark Vantage Score
  • Highest Super PI

Both teams were given the chance to outperform each other with both the Intel and AMD setup. The processors used in the overclocking event included the latest Intel i7 920 (2.66GHZ) and the latest AMD Phenom Black Edition. The motherboards used were the Rampage II Gene (Intel) and the M4A79-T (AMD). Both of which are manufactured by ASUS.

During the event several prizes were given out to a number of audience members, mostly pc enthusiasts and geeks (engineering students from USC). Other prizes included case accessories, ASUS CPU coolers and more of the ASUS Xonar.

The post was written by Jose Farrugia, a technology blogger over at Mango Chico.

Forgot Windows Administrator Password

November 4, 2008 By Leave a Comment

ISSUE:

Forgot Windows Administrator Password

If that’s your only problem, then you probably have nothing to worry about. As long as you have your Windows XP CD, you can get back into your system using a simple but effective method made possible by a little known access hole in Windows XP.

This method is easy enough to follow – it doesn’t require using the Recovery Console or any complicated commands. You can easily change or wipe out your Administrator password for free during aWindows XP Repair.


SOLUTION:

Here’s how with a step-by-step description of the initial Repair process :

1. Place your Windows XP CD in your cd-rom and start your computer (it’s assumed here that your XP CD is bootable – as it should be – and that you have your bios set to boot from CD)

2. Keep your eye on the screen messages for booting to your cd. Typically, it will be “Press any key to boot from cd”

3. Once you get in, the first screen will indicate that Setup is inspecting your system and loading files.

4. When you get to the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to Setup Windows now

5. The Licensing Agreement comes next – Press F8 to accept it.

6. The next screen is the Setup screen which gives you the option to do a Repair.

It should read something like “If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, Setup can try to repair it”

Use the up and down arrow keys to select your XP installation (if you only have one, it should already be selected) and press R to begin the Repair process.

7. Let the Repair run. Setup will now check your disks and then start copying files which can take several minutes.

8. Shortly after the Copying Files stage, you will be required to reboot. (this will happen automatically) – you will see a progress bar stating “Your computer will reboot in 15 seconds”

9. During the reboot, do not make the mistake of “pressing any key” to boot from the CD again! Setup will resume automatically with the standard billboard screens and you will notice Installing Windows is highlighted.

10. Keep your eye on the lower left hand side of the screen and when you see the Installing Devices progress bar, press SHIFT + F10. This is the security hole! A command console will now open up giving you the potential for wide access to your system.

11. At the prompt, type NUSRMGR.CPL and press Enter. Voila! You have just gained graphical access to your User Accounts in the Control Panel.

12. Now simply pick the account you need to change and remove or change your password as you prefer. If you want to log on without having to enter your new password, you can type controluserpasswords2 at the prompt and choose to log on without being asked for password. After you’ve made your changes close the windows, exit the command box and continue on with the Repair (have your Product key handy).

13. Once the Repair is done, you will be able to log on with your new password (or without a password if you chose not to use one or if you chose not to be asked for a password). Your programs and personalized settings should remain intact.
