Review|Hed Kandi 61: The Mix Summer 2006

Genre: Dance & DJ
Artist: Various Artists

Hed Kandi 61: The Mix Summer 2006 is out. At first I was dissapointed as I browsed over the tracklist as the songs and even some of the mixes have appeared in some other compilation that I have acquired earlier, but I like Hed Kandi [yes yes even more so when MoS bought them] as a label and so I decided to get the album nonetheless
There are 3 CDs each filled with pretty popular and commercial house tracks, I do wonder if there is a lack of tracks in the world as there are some pretty old tunes in there. Don't get me wrong the tunes were nice of course but I was wondering how a 2 or more year old tune [i.e. Paul Johnson's Get Get Down, WTF?!] could be included in a supposed 2006 mix oh well. It would have been ok if the tune was remixed [i.e. MyMyMy (Stonebridge Mix) by AvH] but I mean the tune was as is. I would have understood if they were passing off the 3rd CD as hits of Summers Past [which is probably the case as most of those tracks I could consider classics, there is no mention of this even at kandi's newly streamlined website... no more flashcards boo!]... I was hoping they could've placed newer tracks instead. Kandi loyalists will not complain as much as me I think... still a nice soundtrack for the night out [I am refraining from using Summer as we are experiencing crap weather here in Manila hahaha].

So which is it? Nokia (NOK) and Microsoft (MSFT) announced a partnership today. Both lumbering companies have been in some trouble with their smartphone divisions. Both have been loosing market share to Apple, Android and Blackberry in recent years. WindowsMobile (previously PocketPC and currently WindowsPhone) once the dominant mobile OS, yes folks before the iPhone came into power Microsoft slowly but surely killed of it’s main competitor palm OS, which was acquired by hp last year and is now barely a sliver of a shadow of it’s former former former self. Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well. I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509
