Just posting while I’m here at the Tokyo, Narita airport. I’m using their wifi connection here. Quite fast and coverage is almost the entire airport. Will be posting again once I arrive at the San Francisco International Airport.

I guess some of you guys are having problems installing Internet Explorer 7 because of the WGA. Here’s a little guide on how to bypass the WGA validation check.

Microsoft released their latest Internet Explorer with so called new security features and functionality. Windows Internet Explorer 7 will be available for Windows XP and Server 2003. Vista versions need not apply, as IE7 comes bundled with the operating system. I’m downloading it right now and will install it later. However, the bad new is…. less than 24 hours have passed and there is already a vulnerability. Oh… well… so far about their supposedly “more secure” browser.

I read it somewhere about this a few months ago and thought it was just a rumor (like the Google OS thing…). I guess I was wrong…

In yet another step into Microsoft territory, Google on Wednesday released a package of applications that directly compete with the software giant’s Office suite. Google is using its popularity in the search engine realm to garner attention for its Web 2.0 applications, Writely and Google Spreadsheets. Writely is a Web-based word processing program targeting Microsoft Word. Google Spreadsheets aims at Excel. Dubbed Google Docs & Spreadsheets, the bundle is available free of charge. The programs allow users to create and share documents online within a Web browser, one of the promises of Web 2.0.

Google acquired Upstartle, maker of Writely, in March. The software allows you to edit documents online, then publish them via blogs and other Web sites. Writely users can upload Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, RTF, HTML or text documents, or create a document from scratch. A WYSIWYG editor formats and spell-checks the documents online. Google is now dropping the Writely name.

Google Labs launched Google Spreadsheets in June. Google hopes integrating the applications, both of which are still in beta, will make online document sharing and collaboration easier.

I’ve been a SkyDSL subscriber for more than 2 years now and I’m satisfied with their service and support. On the other hand, it was different for the customers of PLDT, SkyDSL’s (Bayantel) main competitor.

There were several blogs and forums that discussed about PLDT’s service and support. Unfortunately, most of these are rants and horror stories from its subscribers. I can’t relate when I read those post since I (still) haven’t experience it with SkyDSL. Not until I heard this…

This is an actual call of a PLDT MyDSL Support representative.
