WhatsOnSale for iOS: Because Knowing is Half the Bargain
Thought: I’ve always wanted an app that would inform me of a good bargain. Foursquare sorta did that with the food industry and other brand-specific apps do something similar, but with exclusive ties to its conglomerate of stores.

So I was like “My wife would probably like this phone. Total, she was already using a Galaxy Mega.” For those who don’t know, the Samsung Galaxy Mega was the 6.3″ precursor to the Note 3 sharing similar hardware features such as NFC and LTE compatibility. Then my name was called. Chedeng!

Hands on with the Lytro, a camera that takes ‘living pictures’

Review: Liquid Image Wide Angle SCUBA SERIES HD 1080P Dive Mask
Ed’s Note: The official distributor of this SCUBA Mask hasn’t given me a price for it yet. I’ll update this post as soon as I hear back from them.

How could you possible include a geeky tech angle to WICKED finally showing in Manila this 2014? Well, when everyone else was tweeting and Instagram-ing, the first thing I did was to edit the WICKED (Musical) Wikipedia entry to add Manila, Philippines and the CCP to the list of international shows:

ASUS VivoTab TF810 excels in performance as notebook and tablet; sells for PHP 42,995
So here I am at my favorite third wave coffee place in the south, working on an ASUS VivoTab (thanks ASUS Philippines for lending this little number).

Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite will sell in the Philippines for PHP 29,999
So what exactly will a PHP 30,000 notebook get you? For one, it is powered by a breakthrough processor called ‘S Quad Core’ and will have 128GB SSD storage. Not bad. Not bad at all. For something that hails the ‘9’ series of Samsung devices and costs a fraction of the price, definitely not bad…
