Globe Tattoo is the fastest mobile broadband

November 28th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Technology

globe-tattooI would admit that my work is TOTALLY dependent on the internet. That is why speed is a real BIG ISSUE for me because it is where my communication with clients lies.  Productivity is another thing that I really look into which is almost directly proportional to the speed of the internet connection.

Lately, there has been a lot of wireless broadband connections being offered by different companies out there.  However;  the general public is seemingly dazed as to what mobile broadband connection is faster and reliable.

Every company of course deserves to be tested out so that we can finally say who is really on top in the mobile broadband internet industry.

Actually, the Nesic Philippines wireless broadband speedtest which was conducted among the different mobile broadband internet providers in the Philippines turned out that the Globe Tattoo emerged as the clear winner in many different aspects such as FTP Downloasd (File Transfer Protocol) and HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) Download as their main basis of the test. Nesic Philippines executed their test thru SpeedTest(dot)net and 2Wire(dot)com which are known reliable internet speed test sites.

Set your Globe Tattoo wireless broadband USB to 3G only

November 8th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Technology

Globe Tattoo powered wifi connection

I’m pretty amazed as to how Internet technology has improved these days especially on service providers being creative with their approach in offering products and services.

The above photo was shared to me by a friend who recently conducted a training about the use of social networks. Fifteen students were in that class  and all are connected through this wifi shared connection set up in a laptop with Globe Tattoo broadband plugged to it.

To make this set-up work, network connection is set to 3G only. So I guess if you are in the right area, this can fairly work. For long duration connection, it is best to set it to time-based charging. For e-mail or status checking, kb-based charging will do. To check your default browsing, text STATUS to 1111. To switch to Per-KB browsing, text KB to 1111.

I’m partly not comfortable though with the Globe Tattoo broadband new skins. What if the skin you like, such as those in the Globe Tattoo broadband gallery,  is not available and the ones on the shop are girly in style, that will be a problem. Well if you are a guy – you can’t be seen using that right? Of course you can always say, “it is my sister’s USB stick”. LOL!

Gmail inbox full

November 8th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Technology

If you have been using your Gmail account for quite sometime now, chances are, your account will be full sooner or later. There are several options to consider when you reached this point. Such as:

  • Delete old e-mails.
    Yes, all those alerts and newsletters, just delete all of them. The same can be done to old email whose attachments no longer matter.
  • Create a new account and have it import all your e-mail from the full Gmail account.
    After that, delete or have it automatically delete all imported e-mails.
    You can also configure this to make it appear as sending from your former Gmail address and have it automatically import all new e-mails.
  • Create a new e-mail account and use it as default for personal correspondence.
    In your settings, accounts, you can have your current Gmail be configured to appear as sending out from a specific e-mail address. The replies can also be sent to that new address.

    This allows you to gradually introduce your new address while maintaining the current one.

I am biased on the last one as having a fresh e-mail address allows you to focus on how to use it properly and not use it to subscribe to various online services.

Epson Stylus SX200

November 5th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Computers, Technology

CFB_suppliesThe Epson Stylus SX200 is a rather cool looking multi-function inkjet printer, but looks are not the most important thing to consider when buy this type of printer. More important factors to consider are quality and speed and running costs. Epson SX200 ink cartridges are affordable which is a refreshing change when it comes to printer cartridges for a budget multifunction inkjet, a set of genuine Epson ink cartridges can be picked up fro around £30. Printing quality is excellent thanks to the SX200’s impressive 5760 x 1440dpi which is the highest in its class. Printing speed however is less impressive, although the official figures sate the stylus SX200 is able to print 34ppm (pages per minute) this is quoted in draft quality where the print is barely readable and not suitable been for general use. The standard quality setting is the most commonly used setting and the speed is reduce to 4ppm printing half a page of text on each sheet in this setting. The Stylus SX200 is not just a printer though its also a scanner which works well for general tasks and comes with bundle software for things like removing red eye from photos and similar other photo editing. The SX200 also has a built in copier functions which has a number of useful features such as one touch copying and even work without the need to be connected to a PC.
