HTC DASH
Android or Windows

With Android OS being popular on the new and upcoming models of mobile phones. I’m still sticking with my old but dependable HTC Dash that runs on Windows based platform (Windows Mobile 6.1 to be exact). It still serves me well in texting and making important calls. Not to mention I can also browse the internet with it and gives me lucky pick for the lotto hehe.

The only HTC accessories I really need for my HTC Dash was its headset that is hard to find because its not the standard 3.5mm jack. I need it badly so I can go soundtrippin while riding my scooter. So how about you? Do you need to upgrade or not?


Zuckerberg Facebook account hacked

I heard this on the news last night, while treating my Offshore Injury as it made me focus on the news instead of the pain :) . I’m quite interested as to what really happened, since the news just used a measly 3-5 minutes flash report about it, and not providing enough details.

I’m talking about the “Mark Zuckerberg Facebook account being hacked” issue (as mentioned on the news). I checked it out now via the internet, and it seem that “hacked” is just an specculation by most facebook users and the media :) , since early that time the Facebook team has not released an official statement about it.

Anyways, it was already cleared out. According to Facebook Team, it was an API vulnerability (API wasn’t mentioned but as I’ve googled it, it means Application Programming Interface) due to its vulnerability, it has allowed the hackers to post messages from a public facebook account, that means, they never needed to know your username and password, they just post messages. So in the end it’s not much of a threat and the Facebook team declared it fixed anyway, whew.


Facebook 1st – Google 2nd

Facebook 1st - Google 2nd
Facebook 1st – Google 2nd

I visit Google all the time, there’s  even a popular a phrase to us, that If we need any information about news, popular videos, music, unusual words or just plain everything, “just Google it”.

I think it’s the same thing to other people in the whole world.  I’m certain  that, “They Google it” too,  coz if they did not, how else could Google be the top visited site since 2008, same as the search for the best herpes treatment being the most search-able for those who got the disease.

But last year’s data came as a surprise to us netizens :) , Google has slipped to 2nd place in the US, and it’s the social-networking titan facebook.com who has took the 1st place on being the most visited site in 2010.

The information came from the studies of Experian Hitwise. They have provided the percentage of all online visits done in the US, wherein Facebook had 8.9 percent while Google just had 7.2 percent.

But still, if Google’s overall properties were calculated – like email and youtube, Google will still be the most visited website having 9.9 percent while Yahoo settled on 3rd.
