Now when most TV shows in the Phillipines were franchised from other countries, I cant help feel proud after hearing the news of Eat Bulaga franchise by an Indonesian network.
Last July 16, 2012 4pm premiered the franchise Eat Bulaga Indonesia on Surya Citra TV (SCTV).
I hope they make it big and make way for other Filipino TV shows to be recognized by other countries.

I have heard of making payments via card readers attached to the audio jack of mobile devices (Paypal Here, Square) but this is the first time I have heard of making payment using the camera of your mobile device.
iPhoneとAndroidで利用できるモバイル決済アプリ「PayPal Here」で、専用カードリーダーがなくてもカメラでクレジットカードを撮影することでカード情報を取り込めるようになる。
Mobile payment application[Paypal Here] for Iphone and Android will soon be able to retrieve card info by using the camera and without using a card reader.
カメラでクレジットカードを撮影することでカード情報を取り込めるようになる。By taking picture of the credit card using the mobile device's camera card information can be retrieved.

Description from official homepage
You're probably familiar with the popular proprietary commercial package Norton Ghost®. The problem with these kind of software packages is that it takes a lot of time to massively clone systems to many computers. You've probably also heard of Symantec's solution to this problem, Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition® with multicasting. Well, now there is an OpenSource clone system (OCS) solution called Clonezilla with unicasting and multicasting!
Clonezilla, based on DRBL, Partclone and udpcast, allows you to do bare metal backup and recovery. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (server edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the clone efficiency. At the NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via multicasting!

Because anyone can buy a sim card without registration of the user's information and introduction of unlimited SMS service in the Philippines, most people get junk SMS like below.

Error message:
Your card issuer denied this payment. If you have another debit or credit card linked to your PayPal account, please use that. Or take a moment to link a new debit or credit card. Contact your card issuer if you don't know why you were declined.
Workaround:
Looks like you exceeded the maximum amount of payment allowed per day by your card/bank.
Try lowering the amount if you haven't made any payment within the day but if you already made a payment try again the next day.

Neil Armstrong(82) American astronaut who was the first man to set foot on the moon died August 25. ニール・アームストロングさん（８２）人類初の月面着陸アメリカ宇宙飛行士が２５日、死去した。
He uttered the now-famous phrase:
"That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."
これは人類にとって小さな一歩だが、人類にとって偉大な飛躍である
The year was 1969 and while the world was celebrating one of the most signicant achievement of mankind, Filipinos had another reason for celebration.
Miss Philippines, Gloria Diaz, among the final five contestants of the Miss Universe pageant was asked, "In the next day or so, a man will land on the moon. If the man from the moon landed in your hometown, what would you do to entertain him?" She answered, "Oh! Uh, just the same things I do. I think if he has been on the moon for so long, I think when he comes over he wants to change, I guess." Because she gave the best answer she was crowned as Miss Universe 1969, the first for a Filipina.
