KENNETH PORIO | the blog

Hello. I am back! For the past few months I have been contemplating in going back to blogging in order for me to launch a new platform, a platform that will propel my career to greater heights. Right now, I have been doing my job as a technical assistant in a local shopping mall, but on the side doing some online work - translating documents for most part. But I want to go beyond that. Because of my previous job as a VA in a rather small SEO company, I want to re-explore those talents I missed to utilize, and give it a shot on earning on my own. I am thinking of launching a new blog that would help people encourage themselves pursuing a new venture, like getting on a new job with no previous experience, or moving to a new place, or meeting a new partner. It's about being successful without looking fake. How about that? See you very soon, guys! KENNETH

Hey, my always-connected buddy, you can sit on top of me! Are you really doubtful to the lilliputians ? Don't know what a netbook computer can do for you. Intel made videos comparing their 2 very popular microprocessor technologies for mobile PCs: the Intel Centrino and the Intel Atom. Video 1: On processing power Video 2: On multimedia Video 3: On portability Does Intel want to mislead you ? In the bigger picture of mobile computing, netbooks were meant to be the smaller, more compact form of a laptop, powerful enough  to browse the Internet with ease. With small screens, small keyboards, small form, it's portable enough to take anywhere where there's a spot to connect to the Internet. You will think, though, that you can just throw off this device when you aren't satisfied because of its mediocre  processing power. Think again. In most parts, many of my schoolmates here in UP Mindanao whose families come from the lower middle to low income bracke...

Lilliputian laptop or gigantic touchscreen? Desktop OS or Touch-panel OS? Windows or Ubuntu or Android or iOS? WHAT'S YOUR SAY? The tablet (or slate or touchscreen) PC, also known as a mobile Internet device (MID), is a computer which has functions that enable users to consume media content. The Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, and many other devices out there sport all screen, without the keyboard or mouse, and a few ports for accesories. Its interface is touch-based, which can make reading e-books, playing games, watching videos or Internet surfing easy, although typing or spreadsheet creation will be quite cumbersome. Tablets are more of content consumption . The netbook (or sub-notebook or mini-laptop) is a smaller, more lightweight version of the traditional laptop. It features the same features of a usual laptop or desktop - keyboard, touchpad (for a mouse), screen, and a decent amount of ports for peripherals - USB ports, a D-Sub VGA port or HDMI port, an Ethernet port...

Alright. I know my immediate  boss in the publication would love to see what are those Wi-Fi hot spots in downtown Davao so he could update those online services of ours if ever he's there. I know he's bothered from the uber slow connections in UPMin's Wireless Kiosk. Here's a list what I found from a source : Apo View Hotel Lobby A Whole Latte Love ACacia St. Juna Subd., Matina Basti's Brew, Victoria Plaza Blugre Cafe, Landco JP Laurel Bo's Coffee, Metro Lifestyle F.

Hello guys! I just obtained an ISO image of the new LTS (Long-Term Support) release of Ubuntu Linux operating system. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) is the latest stable release of this distribution at this time of writing. The next release of Ubuntu is Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) and will be released on October 10, 2010 (talk about the triple-10 hype, huh?) Through PowerISO, I accessed the contents of this CD image. For now, I installed Ubuntu inside Windows using Wubi. With only a few exceptions, Ubuntu in Windows ran just fine and smooth on my PC. (Considering it's a 2.6 GHz Pentium 4 PC with only 512 Mb of memory)  I discovered that this version of Ubuntu Linux can now support mobile broadband devices such as USB modems such as the ones available here in the Philippines, namely Smart Bro, Globe Tattoo, and Sun Broadband Wireless. I have a Smart Bro Prepaid USB dongle, a black & orange-colored ZTE MF627. I tried to connect this to my previous version of Ubuntu (8...
