We used to buy newspaper everyday. It was a good source of news, infact, it was the only source of written news back in the days. When I was in highschool, we bought newspapers so that I could improve my English vocabulary. And then later on after that, when I entered the professional world, we bought it for the classified ads so that I could find jobs. But today, printed news is dying. There isn’t a week when you don’t hear newspaper companies closing or doing measure to cut cost. What changed? More and more people are turning to the internet for their news. In the internet, you can not only read about events but you can also see or listen to them in a form of video or audio. More over, printed news is slow news. When it reaches you, the articles it contains are already several hours old. While with the internet, you can read about an incident instantaneously or just a few minutes after it happened. Lastly, with regards to classified ads, we now have Ebay, Craigslist, and several online buy and sell websites and job sites which can cater to both local and international customers. People would rather lookup the internet for classified ads because again, it is more timely and updated. But I guess printed news is not dead yet. Because not everybody has internet access, there will still be people who would need newspapers. But this audience is shrinking as more and more people become tech savvy and broadband penetration increases. I would not be surprised if newspapers no longer exists a couple of years from now. Printed magazines of course, is a different matter, because it is not crucial for magazine articles to be up to the minute.
I usually have no problem dealing with trojans and malwares but this one proved to be the hardest one yet. Because it operates in ways we don't expect. Usually trojans operate within your PC but what if the exploit is hosted somewhere else on the web. Woah! This took a week. Thanks to the people who commented on this blog. I could not figure out this solution without all of you who bounced your ideas here. Anyway, lets get rid of it . 1. In the Windows menu go to Start>Run 2. Type cmd 3. This will fire up the command window 4. Type ipconfig /all 5. This will display the actual configuration of your LAN card. Pay particular attention to the DNS entry. In my PC I got three entries: 0.255.122.15 85.255.112.156 1.2.3.4 Two of these entries are not correctly formed while 85.255.112.156 is the DNS address of the exploiter. A proper DNS entry given by your ISP should look something like - 58.69.254.143 6. Type ipconfig /release 7. Then ty...

Do you know there you used to be a library in Pasig. It functions as a library and a museum at the same time.
I use to spend my afternoon there just browsing art books and very old copies of reader's digest. If I remember correctly the earliest copy they have are 1960's. Not sure but they are very old.
But now the library is gone and what is left is only the museum.
