The iPad I am waiting for

Recently there are rumors that said there will be an iPad Pro with stylus. 
That would be great only if the stylus that comes with it is so intelligent that it will disable the touch of the skin on the surface of the iPad and will only activate the stylus when it comes close to the surface so that we all can write the way we knew how to right - palm resting on the surface as an anchor and write normally. 

The big deal breaker for me for the likes of microsoft surface, samsung Galaxy note, etc is that - YOU CAN'T REST YOUR PALM ON IT WHILE WRITING! 

I hope the upcoming iPad Pro will solve this problem - probably utilizing the proximity sensor with the stylus and knowing that the pen is near the surface - will disable multi touch and once you raise the pen up atleast 1" or so will automatically enable the multi touch again so you can flip the page using your finger. Apple - are you listening?

Phone scam and their tactics

Here are some phone scam and their tactics. 

1. A call from +1 (951) 228-9458 saying they are from "Rewards Redemption Solution" and from Global Marketing Solution. They will lure you to the reward card by charging you $5.87 in your credit or debit card. I'm so sorry for those who fell into this kind of scam.

2. A call from +1-254-477-6501.  Will give you a call then hang up. Don't call back! They'll leave a message if it it important - that's what the voicemails are for. Don't be a victim. 

I'll continue to post here about the scams of everyday life and I hope people will read this one and will not fall for it.

That's how it should be in the Philippines!

http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/18/aaron-schock-resigns/

He resigns after the news broke. 
Only in the Phillippines that the government officials are detained, accused and documented to abuse the power - but still holding on to their office. 
No one want to give up the power they hold for it is intoxicating, addicting and they will do everything just to be in power. 
Too bad for the next generation - no body cares anymore. There is no good breeding anymore.

A Social Networking that' a pyramid scheme?

Amanda has a point here. 
( http://www.amandablain.com/tsu-scam-things-to-consider/ )

You don't just make money and I think it's not economically viable to do so. 
they said they are just taking the 10% of the ads revenue to run the websites and all the cost associated to it? really?
If they want people to make money out of the advertising model why can't they just offer it just like the AppStore? where everyone is equally compensated proportinal to their work? 
I'll make a better social network where the users will be paid 50% of the revenue generated by their contents and I'll take the 50% to run the website for them, maintain security and pay the people behind the scenes. Google+ should have done that for them to be relevant and compete the Facebook. I'm sure people will love the idea of them making money for what they post. 
Mostly all the web services we know today rely on free public post and then gain money out of them - thus using the public to make money. Is it fair?
