MAPSA Madness

It was unfortunate that my friend, who shall remain nameless, parked against the flow of traffic, which apparently was a violation of some ordinance in Makati. We just didn't know... If the parking attendant was present and doing his job though we probably wouldn't even have gotten in the mess in first place. Moments later even before we had ordered the waiter informed us that the car was about to be towed. The turd of a MAPSA cop was right there waiting for us to play 'the price is right'. So with a bit of haggling we were able to skip a trip to the municipal offices and impound lot. The FORCE is definitely strong with Ninoy Aquino. Big up on my friend for giving me a ride to San Juan, thanks yo! So if ever you're in Makati don't park against the flow of traffic. If you do encounter a turd cop. Rule of thumb is to relax, be polite and try to haggle for a lower bribe, er fine. (HKE) I your good friend, I not lie to you. Ok!

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.
