The new start screen. You can see similarities to the Windows phone 8 specifically with its new tile sizes. If you want to change the sizes, you can right click on the app and it will let you select what sizes you wish. You can also easily name group since the option is right there above the apps where it says name group. There's also a little arrow on the bottom left were when you click on it, it will give you a lists of apps that you have installed on your computer. You can now also personalize your pc by opening the charms and selecting settings, and personalize. Not only you can choose from pre-setup on certain themes but you can also change it by variations of background colors whatever your heart desires. You can also use the desktop background as the start screen background and you kinda get the sense that it's like floating.

To get access to the modern control panel, you can click on your picture on the upper right and select change picture. Then you will see a cool tap interface where you can make changes on your account, sync options, and its very fast and clean looking. You will also see the option for the lock screen, and a new feature to select a slide show and you can also change screen resolution from there. It also has an integrated SkyDrive where you can select the sync options.

 
If you have like 1280x1024 screen resolution you can snap it in 3 to 4 ways which was not supported before and now you can have it. It also comes with all the cool apps like the alarm, sound recorder etc... Help is also there and its going to be very very useful for the users of Windows 8.1.

When you go to the store app, it looks entirely new. You can see the pics reviews, highlights, and its really nice. The classic apps are still there like the weather, news, calendar, and all the apps that comes with windows 8.

Another incredible feature for Windows 8 is called the boot to desktop. Go to navigation then you will have this new option starting with replace command prompt with power shell, so if you uncheck this the actual command prompt is still there but you will also see an option for PowerShell.  What it will do is instead of booting the computer into the start screen automatically brings you to the desktop.

That's about it. Thank you for reading, if you have any thoughts about Windows 8.1 share it on the comment box. Thanks

Philippines Government Response to Yolanda Victims

Is it Our Government To Blame in This Tradegy?

A reporter from CNN Anderson Cooper reported about the current situation of typhoon victims, particularly Tacloban has been trending in social media like facebook and twitter lately regarding the lack of aid and military presence. This gains massive attention from the people of the Philippines, and the world watching the news.


They compared the Philippines response in this disaster with Japan. According to the CNN reporter, in day 2 after the tsunami hit Japan, you'll see Japanesse Defense Force conducting search and rescue operation to the area using their stick. Unlike here in the Philippines, it's now day 6 and you'll still see dead bodies all over the street and people begging for food to eat.

Is this because of lack Government response to this situation?

According to our President, they are doing everything they can to help the survivors. But the question is, is it enough? According to Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, who is one of the government official who immediately responded to the victims of this disaster, declaring a national calamity is not enough. It should be a national state of emergency so we can bring our troops to the area and help aid those typhoon victims.

I believe he has a point, the typhoon coverage is so large that our government might not be able to provide immediate help to all the victims. There is no local government to enforce the situation because they themselves are victims. I believe our Government is doing something to help the victims, but it's not enough.

Should we blame or Government?

It's not the right time to put a blame on our own Government. It's just not the right time. Even though I certainly believe that no one has prepare for this situation which should be the job of our Government. We are being warned that the strongest typhoon ever recorded in history is heading to us, yet we did not prepare immediate help to possible victims. Unlike what happen to Japan when a tsunami strike without warning, and yet they were able to provide immediate response to their people right after.

What should we do?

Ask yourself, are you making the victims situation better by bashing our Government? What do you think the other country will think about us? What I want to say is that, this is not the right time to put a blame on anyone. I've seen battle of the politician supporters, churches, and media in social networks which I don't think can do any good to the victims.

Let's stop sharing such kind of posts that would create anger, and depression to everyone. We have the power to make the typhoon victims life better by sharing post about helping. That would encourage other to help, not the other way around. I've heard people lost their willingness to help after watching the news that our Government is not doing anything or enough to help, and I'm sure more people are feeling the same.

It's not yet too late...there are more things we can do to help. Spread the word about helping, and encourage everyone. We all can make a difference, a simple help like packing relief goods, or sharing encouraging post to will make a big difference.

Tips in Buying Secondhand Laptop

Things You Need To Know When Buying a Secondhand computer

Secondhand laptop

When you look into buying a laptop, the first thing you'll need to consider is how much you are going to spend and stick to it.

There were 3 main types of laptop, Budget, Mainstream, and Ultra-Portable. Each progressively more expensive. Budget laptop are great for generally use online and word processes but they can be slow from more intensive tasks such as video editing. They also tend to be heavier and have worth quality screen.

Mainstream laptop made the step up with biggest source class disk, better processors, and more memory and a great all around use for entertainment including photos and video and tend to fit for flash storage(SSD) which is faster but smaller than traditional hard drive. They are great for carrying around and they are getting cheaper all the time  but it is an expensive choice as of the moment.

If you want to play high end game, it is important to look on what you are buying. There are very few laptop that came with the ability to play intensive games at decent quality. You have to splash out on a more expensive model to get added support from NVIDIA or AMD.

When you buy a new laptop, the main choice of many is whether I come from the Apple Mac running OSX, or a PC running Windows 8.

Google's chrome OS is a newer alternative but it has limited feature than you get on a PC or Mac. If you have heard about windows 8, the rumors is true. It is fundamentally a different way of using a PC and it is better suite for touch but is perfectly usable with a keyboard and track pad.

The great thing about Windows 8 is that many new PC is shifting with touch screen. We see a whole new load of hybrid designs, like slide board keyboard as well as the latest windows 8 tablets with detachable keyboards.

What to look for inside your laptop?


In terms of memory, we recommend at least 4gig. That's pretty much plenty for all computing tasks. For the hard drive, most laptop are now shipping with a 500GB hard disk. That's plenty for lots of apps, music, photos, and videos.

The processor is the hardest choice. Intel processors are the most common but there are some laptop that are available with AMD processors.  Intel's chip are the Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7. I recommend you ignore any older types of Intel processor such as Celeron or Pentium and go straight to the Core i3.

It is expected that Core i5 is better and it best compromise with the performance and price. If you are a gamer or using intensive tasks then I would recommend Core i7.

Before buying, make sure you check for the latest laptop reviews like techradarpro or Cnet for update list for the best laptop out there.


Alex Ariza Kicks Freddie Roach And Mock His Disability


Brawl between Rios Camp vs Freddie Roach

It all started when Freddie Roach, coach of Manny Pacquiao, approach Robert Garcia to tell them that it's already their turn to use the gym for Manny Pacquiao's training when things get heated.

Alex Ariza Kicks Manny Pacquiao's Trainer Freddie Roach

Exchange foul words started until Alex Ariza, the conditioning coach of Brandon Rios, which was the former conditioning coach of Pacquiao, kick Freddie roach in the chest.

Freddie felt the impact of the strong kick of Alex Ariza which leads him to retarate to Rios camp.

A member of team Rios also joined the brawl but was stopped by the security.

Alex Ariza didn't stop after he kick Freddie Roach. He also throw foul words to Manny Pacquiao's trainer, calling him "a joke" and even mock his disability.

Freddie Roach is suffering from a Parkinson's disease, which giving him hard time speaking.

Is it personal fight between Freddie Roach and Alex Ariza?


Alex Ariza was the former conditioning coach of Manny Pacquiao for 5 years. He was hired by Freddie Roach and given an oppurtunity to train the best boxer in the world in his prime "Manny Pacquiao".

Freddie and Ariza's relationship begins to sour in the past few fights of Manny. Freddie is complaining about Ariza's role as a conditioning coach and taking everybody's job.

Ariza always wants to be on the ring side when Manny fights, and he is also acting as if he is the coach. Everyone in Manny's corner noticed this characteristic of Ariza.

On the start of Pacquiao Rios training camp, Ariza was fired by Freddie Roach from team Pacquiao. Ariza tried to contact Manny, but the Pacman intrusted the decision to his long time coach.

Rios corner heard about this news, so they call Ariza and Garcia asked him to be the conditioning coach of his fighers. These includes Marcos Maidana, Garcia's brother, and Rios.

What happen when Freddie and Ariza meets again?


Well, it happen what happened. Clearly Freddie Roach intention is to let Robert Garcia know that they're already 30 minutes over time and that it's Pacman's team's time to use the gym, when Garcia refuse to leave and ended up with exchanging of words.

Robert Garcia was able to handle it, but the member of his team just let it out and didn't even care what people would think about them.

This would leave a bad image in Garcia's team. You can't just mock a person with disability and kick him in the chest without doing anything... Ariza has to be sanction with such act, and I'm sure the team Pacman won't let this get away.

Fans are hoping that this won't affect both fighter's performance, or if it would, it will be to bring out the beast in them.

Team Pacquiao and Rios will meet again this afternoon at 5pm 11/20/2013 for their fight conferrence. Everyone is anticipating what will happen next.

You can watch the live streaming for this pre-fight conferrence at the HBO sports website.

US Military will help Philippines Against China



According to the news tegraph.co.uk, the US military has planned to help the Philippines monitor it's coastal waters as the depute between the Philippines and China is escalating.


The Pentagon said that delivering a land-based radar to the Philippines could be part of their future assistance.

"We are in the initial planning stages of assisting the Philippines with National Coast Watch Center," Major Catherine Wilkinson told AFP. "The center will create an overall picture of what's going on in the Phlippines' territorial waters", she added.

The Pentagon's comment came after President Benigno Aquino paid a visit to the White House, where he was offered a robust show of support.

China claims all the area of the South China Sea up to the shores of the other Southeast Asian Nations, including Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

China may choose to defuse tensions with the Philippines before the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations gathering next month.

But it is also possible that China is determined to humiliate the Philippines and, indirectly, the United States," Patrick Cronin told AFP.

"If China persists with embarrasing the Philippines, then I have no doubt aircraft sales will follow," he said.

Manila's request for US military help marks a reversal after the Phlippines evicted the American military from its vast naval base at Subic Bay in 1992.

Tensions between Beijing and Manila escalated in April when Chinese and Philippine vessels approached the Scarborough Shoal, which lies near the main Philippine island of Luzon.

Brandon Rios VS Manny Pacquiao Fight Prediction


Brandon Rios VS Manny Pacquiao Who wins?

Manny Pacquiao VS Brandon RiosManny Pacquiao appears to be in a top shape in his current photo from Top Rank news. He has been training in the Philippines to prepare for his comeback fight against the hard hitting brawler "Bam Bam" Rios.

Pacquiao who's coming from a devastated knockout loss against Juan Manuel Marquez is looking to regain his glory as one of the best pound for pound fighter in the world.

People have counted out Pacquiao in their top 10 best fighter list after he lost back to back last year against Bradly in a robbery decision, and to Marquez via lucky punch knockout.

The comeback of Manny PacquiaoManny Pacquiao was winning in all three judges before that lucky punch from Marquez hit him, which made the "pee drunkard" Marquez jump for joy like he won a lottery or something. Marquez nose was bleeding so bad in the 6th round and just one more round, it will be a stoppage decision in favor of Pacquiao or if not Marquez's nose will be displace upside down.

This coming November 24, Pacquiao will going to make Rios a walking punching bag like his uncle Margaritto, and the Pacman will once again be on his winning streak.

My Prediction

Poor Rios, he really think he has at least 10 percent chance of winning against the Pacman when in fact, he only has 1 percent chance via lucky punch like what the "old pee drinker" had...Meanwhile, the robbery instrument Timothy Bradly has expressed his interest to fight Pacquiao because he is now ready to be knockout. We'll that's not what he literally said, but he says, he is willing to fight Pacquiao toe to toe in their rematch if it happen.

Everyone knows how one sided the fight was in their first showdown, and I don't see any improvement from Bradley that would make a difference if they do a rematch. Bradley will most likely run like chicken or pig to avoid the knockout, but Pacquiao will come and find him like a storm. Bradley is not a power puncher, check his knockout record you'll see most of his win is via decision. We'll I think he has a lot of Godfather judges.

But before we discuss further about Bradley, let's get back to Rios...ah never mind, nobody knows him(Rios) until he got the chance to fight Pacquiao. Adrien Broner doesn't even know who Rios is when in fact they're in a closer weight division.

Who Wins?

I'm willing to bet for Pacquiao. If anyone is interested to go against, feel free to comment below or shoot me a message so we can discuss the deal as early as possible. Anyways, you won't stand a chance of winning so I'm good if you send me the price as early as now.

Fight Night

I'm so excited to see Manny Pacquiao's performance in his comeback fight this November 24, 2013 which will be held in Macau China. It can also be seen live via pay per view.

Is Rampant Looting in Tacloban Acceptable?


Nov. 9, 2013 is probably one of the saddest and scariest moment we ever had in the Philippines when typhon "Haiyan" also know as "Yolanda", with the speed of 190 mph to 195 mph and gusts 230 mph the most powerful typhoon ever recorded in history has made a landfall and left thousands of people dead, and damaged almost everything it passes to.



I have been a victim of flood myself once during typhoon "Sendong". It was 6am in the morning, the sun is beginning to shine and everyone is getting ready for their daily activity, while others are still sleeping when suddenly the worst flood happen to us in Cagayan de Oro. The flood coming from the mountain rivers wiped out everything it passes thru including our house. We got nowhere left to go so we stayed on top of our roof and hope that the water won't go higher or we will be flooded. We stayed there for hours with no food and water. That was one of the worst experience I had, which has also made me a stronger person after all.

During that time, there were grocery stores that were flooded as well, but no one has ever attempted to steal anything from them even if there's no one watching over the store. It was like a mutual value we all have with our community that stealing is still stealing no matter what the situation is. We could have took everything we can to survive, but we did not. Why? Because we believe that even if you are in the worst situation, stealing is an unjustifiable act. After the flood, that grocery store has distributed relief goods to us in the community as their act of appreciation and help.

I'm sharing this experience because of the videos I've seen in Facebook and youtube. People were looting things from establishments and taking everything they can like Appliances and Cellphones. To me this act is simply an act of stealing, and this can never be justified with the situation their in to.

There's no doubt these people needs help, but if they continue to act like this, I don't think help blessings will pour unto dishonest people. I'm not writing this to stereotype the people of Tacloban, I'm writing this to let you realize that it is our obligation to remind our kababayan what is right and what is not.

The true character of the person comes out in times of difficulties in life, and what these people showed is simply unacceptable. Hopefully our Government can do something about this and stop the looters because the world is watching us, and it is such a shame to show a character like this!

Watch the video.

Despite all these, my thoughts and prayer still goes out to all of you people of Tacloban and to those who were directly affected by the Typhoon. I know how hard it is to start all over again specially if you have lost loved ones and everything you have funded and saved all your life is gone. However, God will take away things that might make us sad and hurt us deeply, but there's always a reason behind everything. His wisdom is just so great that we people might not understand at first. Let's still be thankful and always do the right thing.


Social Reaction: Super Typhoon Haiyan a Natural disaster?

The strongest typhoon ever recorded on earth's history has devastatingly hit the Philippines leaving thousands of people dead, and left millions of architectural damage. Is this a Natural disaster? read more..

The super typhoon "Haiyan" made it's first land fall in "Tacloban", Philippines with the speed of 190 to 195 mph, with gusts to 230 mph according to the U.S. Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center in Pearl Harbor. This destroyed about 80% of the area and left thousand of people dead and missing. Most of the deaths appear to have been caused by surging sea water strewn with debris that many said resembled a tsunami, leveling houses and drowning hundreds of people in one of the worst natural disasters to hit the typhoon-prone Southeast Asian nation.  Aid groups and local media described “storm surge and flash flooding . . . with significant damage to buildings and homes,” the report said. “Humanitarian partners reported rooftops of even secure buildings were blown away. Waves reached 12 to 15 feet in Samar and Leyte. In some areas, flash floods reached the second floor of buildings.” Until this time, thousands of people are still missing and survivors are having scarcity problem with food and clean water.

This unfortunate incident made me ask a question, is this caused by a natural disaster? Or a man made experiment gone bad?

I have watched a documentary about weather modification system being use as a weapon by large countries, like USA, Russia, Soviet Union, and China. It has the capacity to create storm, hurricane, earthquakes, and can even create rain in the desert. This technology is called the "Haarp Weather Modification System", which has a total of 10 locations all over the world. Three of these are owned by the US Government. I don't think the US will attack the Philippines for no reason since this two countries are a close allies ever since, but what if this is an experiment conducted in the pacific and went out of control? Is it a coincidence that both natural disaster hit in the same location? I'm referring to one of the strongest 7.2 magnitude earthquake that recently hit the Visayas part of the Philippines before the super storm "Haiyan" damaged the same region. Just recently, another storm is beginning to form in the pacific and would most likely take "Haiyan's" route. However, these are just questions that cannot be proven with a fact, but is possible to happen.

The fact is that, Philippines is located inside the pacific plate which is also known as the "pacific ring of fire" which is prone to earthquakes, tsunami, and storms. It might have also caused by climate change which have contributed to form of the super typhoon "Haiyan".

Ring of fire 

Whatever the cause of this unfortunate event, the only fact is that, people has lost members of their family, sons, daughters, mother, father, relatives, and their houses. My thoughts and prayers goes to the people who were directly affected by the typhoon.

Watch the video documentary of "History" and let us know your thoughts.

Sports News: Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao vs Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios 24/7 Episode 1

 Manny Pacquiao VS Brandon Rios will end in a knockout of either fighter.


Pacquiao vs RiosManny Pacquiao is coming of a devastated knock-out loss against Juan Manuel Marquez in their 4th time clash Dec. of last year. That made Pacquiao to take time off in boxing for almost a year to regain his confidence and heal his mind and body.

Everyone was extremely shock with how the fight ended that even I could not believe what I saw. A two inch punch from Marquez hits the moving forward Pacquiao in the face, causing him to be unconscious for almost two minutes.

On the other hand, Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios is also coming from an upset unanimous decision loss against Mike Alvarado whom he once knocked out. Alvarado made the fight even with Rios by coming out as an improved boxer than their previous bout.

Both fighters are looking to regain their winning streak on Nov. 23rd in Macau as they face each other in an expected firework match between two offensive fighters.

Pacquiao's key to winning the fight would be his quickness, power, and experience. Based on boxing history, a boxer has a higher chance to win against the brawler. However, Rios is not just a moving forward brawler, but a strong puncher as well. This gives him a great chance of knocking out Pacquiao.

If Pacquiao can still take punches, especially Rios' power then the fight would surely go to Pacquiao's favor. Another advantage for Pacquiao is that, Rios has never met a fighter as fast, and as good as himself.

In the latest 24/7 Episode, Pacquiao is showing no signs of doubt in his mind that he still has his power and speed.

Most people are saying that he should retire because of the outcome of his previous fight against Marquez, but Pacquiao is looking at in a different way. He believes that his performance that night was one of the best performance he had, until he got hit by the perfect counter punch setup of Marquez.

That fight is like a wake up call for Manny Pacquiao not to be over confident and should take boxing seriously. He has been over confident in his last two fights against Bradley and Marquez, and he lost both of this two fights. However, most people still believe that even it's not the 100% Pacquiao comes out against Bradley, he still won the fight. That was very controversial decision of course.

In the last episode of Pacquiao Rios 24/7, the Filipino pride is shows great determination in his training and is looking to be back on top of the boxing world, and regain his glory as the king of boxing.

If he can come out strong and show as the Pacquiao we saw against Margaritto, Cotto, Hatton, and Oscar, then he will have a great chance of winning a decisive, or even a knockout win against Rios. Then it might make us forget what happen in the last Marquez fight.

You can watch the video from the link below if you haven't seen 24/7 Pacquiao Rios Episode 1.

Two great warriors looking to regain their winning pride. Pacquiao is coming off a devastated knockout against Marquez, and Rios coming out a  unanimous  decision loss against Alvarado. Watch their story behind the public media, and follow them until they stepped in the ring on Nov. 23.

My reaction:

The people behind these attack are just showing their patriotism to our beloved country in the best way they can. This is what they do best, so they use it to encourage people in the Philippines to join their mission to make our country a better place. I encouraged everyone to participate in the Million Mask March, and support the mission to bring down corrupt government officials. The  government should be afraid of their people, not the other way around.
