Google Calendar
What's the coming Google Office without a calendar? The calendar import feature is now tempting me away from Outlook -- and I've been an Outlook junkie since '97. All it needs now is PDA sync -- and if Yahoo can do that...

Philippines Needs Gaming Market Education
JC Cuneta posts some great stuff on the need for gaming market education in the Philippines, both among Hillary Clinton-wannabe congressmen and scoffing grunt Luddites. Check it out.

Osaka Apple Switch
I haven't congratulated Apple on their 30th anniversary, so here's my little greeting.
Check out a classic Apple Switch ad...

PLDT Purgatory: Bizaare Math
My PLDT DSL connection costs PhP 3000 (around $ 60) per month. That's the price of their 2 Mbps package.
This morning, telemarketers kept trying to sell me an "upgrade" from 768 Kbps to 2 Mbps.
I checked with PLDT DSL cutomer service; in fact, I had to call and coordinate two different departments at two different numbers. Turns out I am on the 768 Kbps package, even if I'm paying for the 2 Mbps package. Broadband Reports confirms this.
Can someone please explain to me PLDT's bizaare mathematics?

Corporate Blogging is Safe
At a meeting with Philippine TV network ABS-CBN last night, I heard about how Filipinos' adoption of social media has created a constant feedback loop between viewers and upper management, that keeps middle management on their toes.
That came to mind when I saw this article: How to keep blogs from scaring the hell out of people.
Read it and relax, guys. The best way to deal with the global conversation, is to join in. Here's a whitepaper on how.

Web on a Hard Drive?
With more and more bandwidth moving more and more data off the desktop and onto the Web, trying to put the Web on your hard drive sounds... well... insane.
Thing is, that's exactly what startup Webaroo is trying to do. It's basically a variant of Microsoft's smart client concept applied to huge preselected chunks of the Web.
Now here's a business model not built to last. They're out to make a quick ad buck off mobile users before ubiquitous broadband renders them obsolete.
Personally, I use RSS to sync the content I want onto my mobile devices. I don't like the idea of a bunch of distant corporate editors preselecting chunks for me. I want the Web my way, both online and offline.
