| Samsung Galaxy Note vs. Apple iPhone 4S in the Philippines, Soon! Specs Fight, Up! Posted: 12 Nov 2011 09:23 AM PST If the iPhone 4S Smart Postpaid year-end launch information fed to us yesterday by our insider were to be believed, then the much-awaited Samsung Galaxy Note vs. Apple iPhone 4S Face-off in the Philippines could very well happen and culminate this December!   Now that's going to be a true flagship battle, a clash of the Titans! While we're all waiting for Smart Communications to make its official announcement on Apple iPhone 4S (or for Globe Telecom to pull off a shocker, perhaps), don't you think we should use the time to pit the two phones against each other in an early specs fight?
Strictly in terms of technical specifications, it appears Samsung Galaxy Note pretty much runs circles around iPhone 4S; Processor, camera, screen size, display quality, number of ports... name it. Specs-wise, it's perhaps safe to say that iPhone 4S has got nothing on Samsung Galaxy Note. Now, as for the design, operating system and overall ecosystem, those departments call for separate entries requiring lots of photos and videos and even a whole separate discussion board or a live debate altogether. Let's not go there -- in the meantime, at least.

| Cherry Mobile Candy vs. Samsung Galaxy Y : Cheapest Android Phones Specs Fight! Posted: 11 Nov 2011 10:44 PM PST Peterson S. from Metro Manila emailed me this question just this morning: "[Hello po, Sir TP! Nung una po iniisip ko bumili ng Samsung Galaxy Y dahil mura pero nung nakita ko yung Cherry Mobile Candy sa ibang blog napaisip ko kasi mukhang OK rin at mas mura pa. Ano po ba ang mas maganda sa dalawa?]" trans. "Hello, Sir TP! At first, I was thinking about buying Samsung Galaxy Y because it's cheap but after seeing Cherry Mobile Candy in another blog, I'm now thinking twice about it because the latter looks OK and is even cheaper. Which of the two is better?" -------- Hi Peterson! Thanks for the inquiry! To answer your question and in the spirit of public service, here's TP's Cherry Mobile Candy vs. Samsung Galaxy Y Specs Comparison. (Yes, it is important to stick to straight-forward facts when comparing phones.)
As expected, Samsung Galaxy Y pretty much slays Cherry Mobile Candy in practically all departments, be it in processor speed, camera specs and most importantly, the type of touchscreen. Type of touchscreen presents perhaps the biggest difference between the two. Cherry Mobile Candy comes with a plastic Resistive Screen, which requires a slight pressure to elicit a response and doesn't support multi-touch gestures. On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy Y comes with a glass Capacitive Screen, which needs merely the slightest touch for input and supports multi-touch. Now, which phone is better? Overall, it's Samsung Galaxy Y -- of course. Clearly. However, one should also note that Cherry Mobile Candy is also more than Php 2,000 cheaper. So given these info, which phone are more you likely to get this Yuletide?

| Starcraft II Tournament Controversies and Anomalies Anger Gaming Fans?! Posted: 11 Nov 2011 08:15 PM PST Got this from Rico's TechnoGraph : The Pinoy Tech Blog. Apparently, there's now a horrible controversy haunting Starcraft II gaming circles not only in the Philippines but in the whole of Asia Pacific. The international (or at least regional) gaming community is outraged over the mismanagement of the recently concluded Philippine Pro Starcraft League (PPSL), which was held last November 7-8, 2011 at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati. Organized by [Gus] Ledesma, the PPSL still has outstanding financial commitments, which haven't been resolved because Gus is apparently nowhere to be found. To be more specific, the supposed tourney anomalies include, 1. Disastrous event management during the tournament itself, highlighted by bad sound system, 9 hours start time delay, among other things. 2. Alleged match-fixing wherein members of the local team were said to be evenly distributed to increase chances of someone from the roster advancing further into the competition. (Note that this has already been disproved.) 3. Total disappearance of a promised Heroes of Newerth concurrent tourney along with its Php 100,000 prize pool. 4. Botched-up Aussie qualifier results. 5. More than Php 500,000 of unpaid bills from plane tickets and accommodations of foreign nationals who were invited to participate and cover the event. It's so horrible that "Justin 'TheGunrun' Ignacio, a US video game commentator who flew in to cover the event for the IPL live stream, even ended up paying part of the hotel bill." So the question is, "Where have all the money from sponsors gone? And following this disaster, can the Philippine gaming community still redeem its reputation in the international gaming scene?"
