That’s the very first question that popped up in my head when Nancy Cudis and Max Limpag of Sunstar News invited a few CBS members to attend the product launching of Neo’s EDGE laptops, the thinnest laptop/netbook in the country.  The EDGE is 0.87 inch thick while MacBook Air is 0.76.  Basing from this single specification, it is obvious that the latter is thinner.  But, the thickness is not really that important.  What I’m up to is how functional and economical it is.

While some people would definitely prefer MacBook Air because of its unquestionable functionality, many would still go for Neo’s line up of ultra thin laptops not just because of the obvious reason that it’s affordable, but because it has superior functionality that is at par with those expensive ones in the market.

Why would you buy a very expensive MacBook Air when you can have almost the same functionality and style with Neo’s latest offering, the EDGE series, the ultra slim netbook which has beyond cutting edge mobility features?  With the global recession and all, we must be cautious enough in spending our hard-earned money.

The Neo EDGE line of ultra-portables were carefully designed to strike an amazing balance between utra-portability and performance.  This series has three exciting models that would surely fit the fast-paced lifestyle of the users in the information technology age.

• EDGE Z3265 - Specs include a core 2 duo processor (3 MB L2 cache, 1.30 GHz, 800 MHz), a genuine Windows 7 Home Premium operating system, a 2 GB DDR3 memory,  a 13.3″ High-Definition LCD monitor, 320 GB SATA hard disk drive, Wifi ready with a speed of 802.11 b/g/n, has bluetooth connectivity and 3-G capability.  Click here to read more.
• EDGE Z3260 - Specs include an Intel Pentium processor SU4100 processor (2 MB L2 cache, 1.30 GHz, 800 MHz), genuine Windows 7 Home Basic operating system,  2 GB DDR3 of memory, 13.3″ High-Definition LCD monitor, 320 GB SATA of hard disk drive, has bluetooth connectivity and Wifi ready.  Click here to read more.
• EDGE Z3240 - Specs include an Intel Pentium processor U2700 (2 MB L2 cache, 1.30 GHz, 800 MHz), a genuine Windows Vista Home Premium operating system, a 3 GB DDR2 memory, 13.3″ WXGA LCD monitor, 120 GB SATA (slim type) of hard disk drive, has bluetooth connectivity and 3-G capability.  Click here to read more.

Now, with its consumer friendly packages, Neo EDGE successfully disproves the long running myth that laptops need to be expensive to be powerful and efficient.

Aside from email marketing and pay per click (PPC) advertising, there is one strategy that has been used by successful online marketers worldwide.  And that is SEO, or Search Engine Optimization.

Search Engine Optimization is an online marketing that proves to be very effective because it uses SEs (Search Engines) as its means of attracting website traffic.  This traffic includes people who are searching for anything on the web.  It is reported that more than 80% of American internet users are using search engines like google, yahoo, bing, etc. to look for stuffs to buy, or services to subscribe to online.  This means that if someone wanted to outsource services, he would likely use google to search for companies who offer outsourcing services.

It is recommended for online outsourcing businesses to use SEO to market their services.  Why SEO? Because it is more effective than paid advertising and PPC.  SEO is one of the best online marketing strategies that has been used by multinational companies all over the globe.

Below is a rough draft on how to optimize your website in order for it to become search engine friendly.  Note that I categorized each procedure as internal and external.  Internal means you need to have access to the administration page of your website to implement the task, while external procedures don’t require admin access.

Internal

1.  Identify Relevant Keywords - Let us take for example supportresort.com.  The possible keywords that should be used in order for it to top the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages) are support resort, online support, online support staff, hire staff online, outsource php programmer, outsource customer support and the list goes on.  These keywords should be placed on your site as meta tags.  If your website will top on SERPs, then a high volume of traffic will come in.  This means greater chances of attracting new customers to subscribe to your services.

2.  Sitemap -  This is actually very important in search engine optimization because it allows web crawlers to easily access your website content.

External

1. Link Building - This includes exchanging of links if you have a blog, or if your website has a link category.  This could also help increase traffic generation, thus increasing chances of getting new customers.

2. Submission to Directory Sites/RSS Sites/Social Bookmarking Sites - Another way of increasing the popularity of your site through the power of directory listing.

3. Article Submission - To maintain your online business credibility, it is also important to publish articles that are related to the services you offered.  This is another way of informing the public that the company doesn’t solely exist for profit.

4. Blogs - It is one of the most effective SEO tool.  This is because blogs are search engine friendly.  Unlike static websites, blog sites have mechanisms wherein search engine web crawlers can easily penetrate.  Most successful companies have blogs on their websites.

5. Forums -  There are lots of online forums where you can advertise your services by putting a link or banner in your signature.  There are also people who frequent in forums who are looking for cheap, yet high quality outsourcing services.

6. Social Networking Sites - Facebook, Friendster, Multiply and the likes are effective advertising mediums you can use to market your website for FREE. On the other hand, you can also tap bloggers to blog about your services.  This is what other companies have been doing as part of their online marketing strategy.  In my next article I will discuss in full details the importance of site mapping in search engine optimization.

Although the internet is the more prominent communication medium that takes the world by storm today, there’s a long time invention that captured the hearts of most couch potatoes.  This is the more sophisticated, more powerful Satellite TV.  I’ve been planning to get one, that’s why I searched for  some infos online last night and found Satellite TV Site.com.

As I was browsing through the site, I noticed that it has all the comprehensive information about the best deals on Satelilte TV.  The website provides their readers informations regarding the latest Direct TV Deals.  They have various articles about Direct TV Specials, and their hompage is updated daily with the latest Satellite TV Deals worldwide.

If you’re looking for a larger channel selection, then Dish Network is the satellite provider that you should subscribe to.  They are one of the world’s largest satellite provider with over 180 channels to choose from.  The following are Dish Network’s Free Offer:

• NO Equipment to Buy
• FREE Multi-Room Installation!
• FREE DISH Home Protection Plan
• 100% Digital Programming
• FREE Upgrade to a DVR 510/625
• FREE High Definition Mpeg-4 Vip211
• New High Definition DVR Mpeg-4 Vip622
• FREE LIFETIME Equip. Warranty
• Programming for Everyone!
• Local Networks Available

You can save up to $500 if you sign up today.  Check Satellite TV Site.com for more ideal satellite tv offers.  You can also check and compare satellite providers.  Satellite TV Site.com also recommends Direct TV satellite provider.   You can make two separate lists of features and offers of  Direct TV vs. Dish Network.  That way, you can have a clear comparison between the two, and decide which satellite provider better suits your needs.

I know I’ve already heard about the website a few times in the past, but I didn’t pay any attention because of its name.  Yehey!, when I first heard about it, I normally thought that it’s just another struggling website that rides on with Yahoo’s popularity.  I was thinking that why should they not come up with an original name and made a name out of it?  I mean, come on!  We all know that ipod is very hot in the market because it’s the original.  Though there are lots of less expensive products which imitated its features, most consumers still prefer the genuine and original one.  And that’s what I thought of Yehey! before.

Honestly, my opinion really doesn’t change that much now.  The only difference is that I had the opportunity of meeting the people behind this search engine company.  I’ve learned new things during the short presentation held at La Maison and discovered how friendly their staffs are.  I also think that their strategy of tapping bloggers to help them in their promotion campaign business is very practical, economical, and most of all brings learning and fun to most blogging enthusiasts.

Though this company is not that original(well, we don’t need to be original all the time to be successful), I think that they became one of the effective agents of internet revolution in the Philippines.  As the country’s second most visited website(next to INQ7.net), Yehey! people could now proudly shout their company name.  Yehey!

The very first Philippine overclocking showdown was held at Entertainment Plaza, SM City, Cebu last 23rd of May, 2009.   This historical event was mainly sponsored by ASUSTeK Computer Inc..  Two teams(from Cebu region) equipped with OC enthusiasts were competing with each other.  Both teams performed tweaks in both the latest AMD and Intel Platforms.  They took turns testing the limits of both advanced processors for the ultimate glory of who can set the highest percentage of Overclock, CPU Mhz, Bclock, memory speed, 3DMark Vantage score in the overclocked system and Super Pi.

Both teams, the Sugbu Elite and Cebu Extream, were amply provided with the latest motherboards (ASUS Rampage II Gene and M4A79-T deluxe, an AMD-based one), graphic cards (ASUS EAH4890 and ASUS ENGTX285), memory from OCZ, Caviar Black hard disks from Western Digital, Sunbeam coolers, Silverstone power supply, cordless mouse and keyboard from Logitech,  and operating systems from Microsoft Corporation.

ASUS Rampage II Gene motherboard is specifically designed for serious gamers and OC enthusiasts, who are always at the edge of testing the limits of their computer hardware for best gaming and CPU performance experience.  This board is part of ASUS’ Republic of Gamers series, which is among the very few microATX motherboards that support the Intel Core i7 processor.  Rampage II Gene, according to ASUS, has also premium features such as MemOK! for worry-free memory upgrades, CPU Level Up for easy system performance boosts, and onboard SupremeFX X-Fi for true-to-life surround sound.

On the other hand, M4A79-T deluxe motherboard which is based on AMD 790FX chipset, features the unique ASUS Xtreme Phase Power design.  According to their press release, this board utilizes more phases to deliver more power and achieve better performance, more stability, enhance power efficiency, and lower temperatures under any loading.

And if I’m not mistaken (since this event happened two weeks ago), it was in the former motherboard (Rampage II Gene) where team Sugbu Elite achieved the highest percentage of overclock.  From 2.0 GHz to 4.2 GHz.  That is more than a hundred percent change.  While on the other side, Cebu Extream,  using the latter motherboard(M4A79-T deluxe) had only managed a less than 50% increase.  That is, from 3.0 GHz to 4 GHz.  Please correct me if I’m wrong with these.  My memory of the event is kinda vague now.  Hehehehe.

Sugbu Elite and Cebu Extream both garnered awards from different categories mentioned above.  Some of the audiences also received ASUS freebies during the event’s Q & A portions.  It is reported that the main sponsor had given a total of Php50, 000 worth of token cash and hardware.

N.B:

• Both teams (Sugbu Elite and Cebu Extream) are members of Istorya.net
• The host of the event (the name I forgot), is also a member of the said Cebu forum
• Cebu Bloggers Society was among the press people who was invited to cover the event

Attention techies, geeks and computer addicts!  Asus will be holding an overclocking competition next week.  The Asus Ultimate 2009 Overclocking Show will be held this 23rd of May.  The show will start around 3pm in the Entertainment Plaza, SM City, Cebu.  This event is part of the Asus PC Fair (May 14-24).  The management decided to hold an overclocking competition to make a dynamic fair finale.  In the competition the participants are expected to showcase their overclocking skills using top hardwares from different brands.

Asus is a multinational Taiwanese company which is one of the world’s leading producers of motherboards, graphic cards, optical drives, PDA’s, computer monitors, notebook computers and a lot more computer related innnovations.  It is reported, that since the year 2006, 35% of PC’s sold used an ASUS motherboard.

The Asus management are inviting Cebu Bloggers Society members to attend and blog about the event.

N.B: What is overclocking?

To speed up the computer beyond the manufacturer’s specifications in order to run faster. Common in the gaming world, overclocking the CPU is accomplished by changing the clock ratio of the frontside bus (FSB) in the BIOS setup. Older methods were changing a jumper on the motherboard or changing the clock crystal. Although enhanced cooling systems are typically added when a CPU is overclocked, over time, the CPU or the motherboard may not be able to handle the increased speed.

The Digital Filipino Club successfully held this event at Teatro Casino in Waterfront, Cebu last 22nd of October. This Fellowship was organized by Miss Janette Toral and sponsored by PAGCOR. The event was crowded by online-affiliated people and was even made livelier by the present of the Cebu Bloggers Society members who became the event’s center of attraction because of their well-thought t-shirt design. All the participants enjoyed the event not only because of the freebies, but also it became a temporary venue of meeting individuals with the same line of interest.

After consuming their sumptuous dinner, the bloggers introduced themselves and talked something about their respective blogs. It was followed by a speech from a PAGCOR representative announcing their newest online marketing plan. Miss Janette Toral also made a brief introduction about the Digital Filipino Club’s members, history and as well as the latest club activities. Kevin Ray Chua and Winston, members of CBS also made special speeches on how they started their blogs and gave tips on how to increase blog popularity. There were also little talks about SEO and then followed by PAGCOR’s video presentation, a gaming event among bloggers, picture takings, and the awarding of raffle prizes.

Anyways, I met Beor and Galadriel of Istorya.Net during the event. I know them because I always hang out on their forum before. This is way back when my immaturish reflexes were still in control of my half-cooked brain. Beor is actually a very respectable and handsome man and her wife is really pretty in person. I actually have so much respect to them, and I look up to them like role models.

I guess I need to end this post here. It seems like I run out of ideas already. My lazy brain is already bitching me to finish the 4th book of the Twilight saga. So long penguins!

This is the first time in four weeks that I managed to go home early.  Yes, as early as 7pm.  This is because I never thought that our supervisor would force me not to report to work since I was three hours late.  Three hours late because I attended a five-hour seminar this morning and this afternoon.

My friend was actually the organizer of the said event.  She invited me along with my other three colleagues, but only one managed to go with me.  The seminar is actually about Microsoft’s newest released operating system, the Windows Vista, the 2007 Microsoft Office System, Exchange Server 2007, Windows Server 2008, and about their new Financing Program for their clients.

To start with, I’m not really that impressed with Windows Vista.  I would rather use XP or any other Linux distros.  Vista has definitely an unquestionable GUI superiority, but it doesn’t outweigh its functionality and efficiency.  Aside that it has still lots of bugs, it would also consume a lot of your PC’s memory space.  But then, there’s is no denying with the reality.  XP will be totally eradicated in the market by 2014.  So, end users has no other choice but to upgrade to mighty Vista.  Well, that is, if we won’t opt to open source platforms.  Platforms and applications with no 24-hour customer support, as what one of the speakers pointed out jestingly.

Nevertheless, the seminar focused on the advantages brought by their new upgraded innovation(which by the way, copied Linux multiple desktops feature).  I just can’t help it.  The multiple desktop panel feature is just too obvious.  Anyways, the speakers stressed out that Vista is only compatible with today’s computers.  That means that if you’re using a 4-year old motherboard and processor(like me), then you must also upgrade it to the latest ones like core 2 duo, quad, extreme or to quad core so that you can run it smoothly and buglessly.  Oh well, right, but for personal computers, I don’t think those processors are practical to use.  But then most end users just don’t care.  As long as it is the latest, they would grab it up.  Not thinking that they’re putting their hard-earned money to waste.

Okay, back to topic.  Windows Vista according to Microsoft people is created to change the whole image of Windows.  This operating system is more powerful and efficient when it comes to security and privacy, performance and reliability, deployment and servicing, management, instant search, smart organization, visualization, user experience, networking, mobility, collaboration and synchronization.  Well, this is in comparison to their previous platforms.

In Vista Enterprise Edition, the user can now encrypt their PCs local drives and all the files and data in them.  This is actually a built-in feature in Vista, which means that the user won’t need any third party software anymore if he needs to encrypt any of his files.  Vista’s security feature can also automatically disabled access to your network from infected PCs.

The 2007 Microsoft Office System has subtle improvements.  It adopted an XML-based file format for MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.  There are live layout preview and image customization features for Word, and improved graphical and visual presentation for Excel and PowerPoint.  You can even save your word document as an HTML file(this one is really cool).

Anyways, I won’t discuss here their other application softwares for those are not of my concern anymore.  For those Microsoft fanatics out there(those mortals who buy genuine Microsoft stuffs), the company has launched a financing program which allows their clients to pay for  their products in installment basis.  Unfortunately, this program is for small and medium business only.

I guess this is a very long post already.  I’m too eager to end this bloody ramblings since I just bought a DVD copy of ISWAK 2.  I bought it at Colon this late afternoon and I’m super duper excited to watch it.   Hmmmn… I need to make a separate post about Colon Street in my next entry.   Hehehehe!  So long penguins!

N.B. I wrote this post also to give thanks to my friend and her fellow NgKhai organizers for the very delectable luncheon they served this noon.  Thanks, thanks, thanks!
