<p>Got so surprised when I came across this news about some Indian investor developed a touchscreen device which can let you browse the internet, read PDF files, do video conferencing, etc. Everything for less than Php 2000! If that isn&#8217;t cheap enough for you, they are trying to get the price lower to around Php 500-1000. A very cheap alternative from the now famous iPad!</p>
<p><span id="more-350"></span></p>
<p>Let us see if this can compete with the tablets found in Divisoria!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now we know where the spotlight will be on for the next couple of weeks.. On Lee DeWyze, after being announced the new American Idol of Season 9.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.peppersoriano.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/article-1281614-09C15FCF000005DC-359_634x452.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-249" title="article-1281614-09C15FCF000005DC-359_634x452" src="http://www.peppersoriano.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/article-1281614-09C15FCF000005DC-359_634x452-300x213.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="213" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-248"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The finale show was jam-packed with special production numbers by ex-idols, by Christina Aguilera, Simon ang Garfunkel, Bret Michaels (who had a major health scare, but still won the apprentice), Janet Jackson (without her infamous wardrobe malfunction), etc. Paula Abdul even showed up to say goodbye to Simon Cowell, being this season his last. A lot of comedic stints and flashbacks were shown that were very entertaining..</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Personally I thought Crystal would win, but what the heck, Lee was good too! Hehe!</p>

<p>This year&#8217;s election was obviously more peaceful than the past ones. But, was it more reliable? More honest? I am watching the hearing of the congress on the elections, gives me some doubts about it&#8230;. The manual audit was not 100% accurate, tsk tsk..Also, visiting <a href="http://www.juanvote.com/">juanvote&#8217;s website</a>. Seems a lot of people did not stop on being vigilant after voting. They are still interested on the dependability of the automated elections.</p>

<p>Smartmatic was not able to answer certain questions regarding its inconsistencies. Made Rep. Teddy Boy Locsin shout &#8220;son of a &amp;*%$#&#8221; on national TV and radio!</p>

<p>A lot of focus has been made on who won the elections. Now that it is done, which candidate do you will have the initiative to take down their huge billboards or remove their pasted posters from our streets? Who do you think would recycle or reuse, and clean up their mess?!  The Comelec was never strict on implementing the rules on postering.  I never heard any single candidate who have been punished because of this. I hope a conscious sector in our government would start disciplining these somehow &#8220;nuisance&#8221; candidates.<span id="more-207"></span></p>
