Yahoo!, I Ask my Friends to Google Bing…
Please don’t awe me…
I just write this blog out of my curiosity about search engines. I’ve been an affiliate a few months by Homepages Friends – a search engine that monetize you every time you search. But if I am not satisfied with the search results, I used Yahoo!, Ask, and my all-time favorite Google. I seldom used MSN Search for my queries. But after Microsoft launched the new version of MSN Search, now known as Bing – I tried.
Yesterday, I conducted an experiment regarding query submission to the four top search engines. I used the keywords “Google”, “Yahoo!”, “Bing”, and “Ask” to be searched on their rivals’ website. I sorted out the top three results, and I was amazed with my discovery!
How to Identify Phising E-mail
A few days ago, I received another email claiming to be from Yahoo! asking for my Username, Password, Date of Birth, and Location.
I thought that this was another phishing email. The letter asked me to reply those personal details within 24 hours. This mail is just one of those very suspicious phishing scams that you might encounter in the near future. So generally, I will give you tips on how to identify a phishing email.
1. By just looking at the content you can see who sent the email or from whom system does the email originate. It could be sent through the E-mail systems of Yahoo!, Google, AOL, MSN, etc.
Mariel Rodriguez Wikipedia Page
I have been blogging for more than two years now and one of the helpful sites that I go to is Wikipedia. It’s like the online encyclopedia where facts that you need to know are all in there.
I think it was last week that I was searching for information about Mariel Rodriguez for her men’s magazine cover.
Protect Your Gmail Account From Hackers
Hacking is very common these days. Even web sites like Yahoo have been hacked many times. So how can we make sure that we are not being hacked? I have read this article, I think last week. It’s about how to detect if your Gmail account has been hacked.
Here are some of the things that I learned.
Smart Bro Prepaid Experience
After having troubles in buying the new Smart Bro prepaid, I finally was able to use it and surf the internet anywhere. It has been a week since I have used this product. So far it has surpassed my expectations based on speed. The Smart Bro prepaid package by the way contains the Smart Bro modem, two USB cords and a manual.
Before, I usually use the internet by going to Robinson’s Galleria and take advantage (abuse) of the mall’s free WIFi service. I also sometimes connect using my GPRS mobile phone. That was really horrible in terms of speed. I cannot even open my Yahoo and Chikka Messenger.

SMART Bro Prepaid Fiasco
Last Monday after work, I was excited to visit a SMART Wireless Center to buy a SMART Bro Prepaid. Not only I will be wired anywhere but also I can get to talk to my loved ones all over the world. I was surprised that the SMART Wireless Center in Robinson’s Galleria now has a computerized ticketing system. Since it is my first time with that system, I asked the security guard right beside it on how to use it. He then asked me with the purpose of my visit. I told him that I would buy the SMART Bro Prepaid. I was so disappointed to hear from him that it was sold out in their outlet. I then have decided to go straight to SM MegaMall to check if they have a stock.

Filipino Internet users on average spend 2.3 hours per day checking e-mail, 1.6 hours on online community activities, 2.7 hours on instant messaging, and 3 hours on other Internet activities. Forty-eight percent of Internet users are within 20 to 28 years old and 44 percent are 30-40 years old.” So, what does this figures tells us?
