Do you have a new Iphone 3G or you’ve just reset it? Inserted your SIM and it doesn’t work and says locked SIM? Here’s a step-by-step guide on activating it.
If you happen to have an Iphone 3G and inserting a SIM card doesn’t make it work, then you might not have activated it. The Iphone 3G is not your regular phone where you just plug in your SIM and it’s ready to go. Remember it’s an IPOD and phone rolled into one.
Let’s first install your SIM card into your Iphone 3G. You just need to use the small metal pin provided by Apple, and use it to push at the small hole located at the top of the Iphone 3G to reveal the SIM card slot.
After a month’s usage of the Asus Eee PC 1000H UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC), what can be said about this new UMPC or Netbook by ASUS?
I haven’t really been much of a fan of laptops as they were still hard to carry. I have a laptop but I still go by the train and ride the bus every so often and the weight of the laptop still bothers me.
With the release of the recent Netbooks and UMPCs (with the first release by ASUS), I was really excited as they beat what traditional laptops were trying to boast since their existence – portability. However, the UMPC’s capacity was still small and their performance was still not very good.
With the arrival of the Asus Eee PC 1000h, it has become a reality to see the power of a laptop, and the portability of a Netbook. Or has it really?

A digital camera is a phenomenal gadget that’s a must have nowadays to us explorers, wannabe photographers, trendsetters, businessmen, students, etc.
I started to love photography when I started traveling with friends to various amazing places. I felt the need for a handy digital camera and felt guilty not being able to take a shot of never before seen beauty of nature (at least for me). Although my cell phone helped me capture photos, it sadly wasn’t up to the task and couldn’t give me a perfect still shot.
What is this new browser apparently made by Google? How does it compare to the other big browsers like Firefox and IE in terms of the average user?
I recently just found out about Google Chrome three days ago. I saw it advertised in one of Google’s pages and it immediately caught my eye. A new browser made by Google? I had to check it out.
After viewing the videos and reading the comics interpretation on the technology behind Google Chrome in the official Google Chrome homepage, I immediately downloaded it and gave it a try. I was excited on the many claims and features of the Google Chrome.
After three days of using the browser (where I didn’t use any other browser), here are my takes on the new browser by Google.
How fast has technology been improving? I remember the time in high school when only one of my classmates had a mobile phone. Then, the Nokia 5110 was the center of attention. It was so pricey that only rich people were able to afford it. It was also considered one of the high tech gadgets then, being capable of SMS and being very portable. After that came one of the hottest gadgets of its time, the Nokia 3210.
The first mobile phone I had was a Maxxon 3204. It’s funny that I was only six counts from having the “in” phone in 3210 then.
I remember having to imagine then MP3 capabilities of mobile phones. I thought it would be something we can only imagine. But just two years hence, Siemens released phones capable of playing MP3s. Today, mobile phones play full-length movies and are capable of video calling. Only Biomen (the japanese show during the 80’s and 90’s) were capable of doing video calls then.
A lot of gadgets today are capable of doing more than what it is expected to do. Consider perhaps the palm PDA that is everything but the ref. Laptops do a lot of wonders too. It is enticing that the prices of these multi-tasking devices are a steal. A second hand PDA costs only around $100 in eBay. Small laptops are only around $300 in malls. There sure are down sides though with jack-of-all-trade-gadgets. Mainly, as it provides everything, losing it means losing everything too.
We want, nonetheless, devices that are capable of different functions. In a recent get together I attended in SMX, I was annoyed I had to buy $3 value FM radio. It was used to hear language translations. Not that I am against Jurassic technology, but the thing is that there are gadgets that are more than just FM radios, and those are what I would prefer more. For instance, some cellphones have radio. I have Motorola L6 and it does not have it.
With the success of “Everything but the Ref” article (subjective though), I thought of following up with something of the same level. I have been having particular liking to the word “optimizing” and I would like to share with you my thoughts on the matter. It is a broad topic in itself, but as we are into tech stuff here, I will zero in on my other device: the tiny PC in Eee. This article is about optimization of the Asus EeePC.
We talk about optimization when we want the most out of something. For instance, optimizing my palm pda, I use it as dictionary to look up the meaning of the word “optimize”. According to the Webster program in my zire, “optimize” means “to make as perfect, effective, or functional as possible”. A device then is effective, thus optimized, if it works with its full potential, if not more. We can actually speak here of 101% as I believe I am making my eee work more than it potentially is capable.
The desktop of my eeepc currently looks like this:
Among the hated subjects in schooling is math. It is difficult and challenging. You need to be gifted to be good at it, or understand it easily. I may perhaps agree with the former, but I beg to disagree with the latter. Recently I found a very useful tool in making math easier to understand. It is among the fruits of technology, so my apology goes to the oldies- those who weren’t fortunate enough to have fruits available for harvest then.
Now for those who hate math, I would like you to meet Geogebra (merge of geometry and algebra), an application program designed to simplify matters concerning numbers and graphs. They say the best things in life are free. Geogebra is pretty much one of the best things- it is a freeware. You may download the program from this site: http://www.geogebra.org.
In this fast-paced world we live in today, everything comes in instant. If you are hungry there is instant noodles for you (or the fast food). If you need money you get instant cash through the atm. If you need information you get anything with a few clicks via the internet. What is even more amazing is that you can get all the “instant” help you can get through something just about the size of the palm. And hence, we call it the palm pda. I call it the “palm wonder”.
I am a secondary school math teacher and technology has been my buddy in teaching since I acquired some of it. In this article, my objective is to showcase the wonders of the palm pda; how something as small as your wallet can do so much. I use my zire 72 (palm pda) in my math classes. I seldom use it nowadays though with my acquisition of a tiny pc in asus eee. But it still is and remains to be what I fondly refer it to my students: “everything but the ref.”
Yes it’s about fakes again, and yes it’s about another Sony product. Well Sony Ericsson anyway. What we’ll discuss is about how to know a fake Sony Ericsson headset and why to avoid it. Moreover, we’ll only tackle fake Walkman Series headsets which come in the following package designs.
Now the only Sony Ericsson Walkman headsets that I know which have packaging like the ones illustrated below are the HPM-64, HPM-65(Sport’s headset), HPM-70(bass headset), and HPM-82(superb bass with remote). I’m sure that there are a lot of other Walkman series phones which also arrive in the same packaging, but these are the models that I have seen to be faked.
