I just found out a while ago. I know… this is not my usual post about tech but I just love good food. Krispy Kreme will open 2 branches. One in Global City, Taguig in November 16 November 30 while the other one will be located in SM Megamall which will open this December.

Never thought that one will open here since I heard that the franchise fee is very expensive (and I mean very expensive). Here’s some information I got from their website.

Our franchisees must possess the capital sufficient to fund the development of the market. We currently grant franchises on an area development basis. Specifically, our area developers are required to build multiple stores (10 or more) in a market. The minimum net worth requirement is $30 million or $1,000,000 per store to be developed, whichever is greater. For instance, a 15-store market requires a minimum net worth of $30,000,000.

Gonuts Donuts was a hit here so I guess Krispy Kreme will also be one. Diet??? Maybe next year.

On Thursday of last week, Mozilla released a minor upgrade to Firefox which included seven security fixes, four of which the company considered “critical.” In addition to the patches, the update also included improvements to the product’s stability. Of the critical updates, a RSA signature forgery flaw, a memory corruption vulnerability, and two JavaScript issues were remedied.

Updates to 1.5.0.7 include:

• Improvements to product stability
• Several security fixes:

• MFSA 2006-64 Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.8.0.7)
• MFSA 2006-62 Popup-blocker cross-site scripting (XSS)
• MFSA 2006-61 Frame spoofing using document.open()
• MFSA 2006-60 RSA Signature Forgery

Adobe has released Acrobat 8, a new version of its document authoring and reading software, and integrated it with its upgraded Creative Suite 2.3 Premium. The latest Creative Suite bundle also includes Macromedia’s flagship Dreamweaver 8 Web design software.

It was being discussed on most forum I visit for some time now and SkyDSL makes it official by updating their website. I already requested for the upgrade, hopefully my DSL speed will be upgraded when I come home from work.

Standard Speed	384 KBPS	768 MBPS	2 MBPS
Speed-on-Demand (SOD)	768 KBPS	1 MBPS	N/A
Regular Monthly Rate	P899	P1,699	P2,699
Free SOD	FREE SOD for 1 year	FREE SOD for 1 year	N/A

 

I really like the current competition between the local DSL providers. It drives prices down and boost the speed up. Bottom line is… we consumers are always the winners.
