How to save on hard disk space?

October 31st, 2007

I only have 40 GB hard disk space, partitioned into 2. I have separate drive for all my important documents with my almost 4000 collection of music, the other drive is for my system files so every time I need reformatting of my PC, I won’t be having a problem of backing up my files. Because I have a limited disk space, I tried many ways to save up for space so my PC performance would not be affected without the need to upgrade my RAM or disk space.

Can I Use Smart Money for PayPal Account Verification?

October 20th, 2007

This was my first question when I learned about the new receive feature of PayPal in the Philippines. Since Smart Money is a debit card and it is powered by MasterCard, I thought it will be an option to verify my PayPal account. At that time, I have an unclaimed $80 from Text-Link Ads so I was desperately looking for ways to verify my account.

I immediately contacted their Smart Costumer Care to inquire about it.

Type: Inquiry

Good day!

Recently, PayPal was made available in the Philippines to receive funds. I heard that debit cards can be used to verify my account and to withdraw my funds. Since Smart Money is a debit card which is also powered by MasterCard, can I use it to withdraw funds from my PayPal account?

Thank you!

Toxic iPhones

October 17th, 2007

It was only few months ago when iPhones were released in the market. This new gadget has been a subject of recent controversies even at its less than a year in the market. It has been a subject of recent hacking and piracy and now Apple is facing yet another controversy. An environmental group alleged iPhone to contain reproductive toxin.

A series of tests was done with the iPhone and it revealed chemicals that included “phthalates” in the vinyl plastic earphone wiring at levels that are prohibited in young children’s toys.

Phthalates, or phthalate esters, are a group of chemical compounds that are mainly used as plasticizers (substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility). Wikipedia.org

According to researches, high level of exposure can cause cancer and occupational exposure may lead to adult infertility. Demasculinization may also result in a fetus exposed in utero to these toxins.
