Would you spend more than a thousand US dollars for a PS3? Yes? No? Maybe?

Oh yes, after the official launch of PS3 in the US and Japan, those (gamers and non-gamers) who lined up for days are putting their PS3s for sale/auction to potentially earn twice as much.

But what if, just what if, you do not know what you're really up against?

Read on.

Please answer this question honestly:

When you sit on your computer chair, do you sit like this?

If you said yes, then good for you. However, for those who answered no, then you are probably suffering from backaches as I speak. Wouldn't it be nice to have a chair that can help you sit straight and make sure you have the "perfect" posture all the time?

I've just obtained an e-mail regarding Genius' upcoming products here in the Philippines. While these products aren't out in the market yet, allow me to share some of the products to you through this blog entry. Feel free to tell me what you guys think in the comments section of the blog.

The first product is a webcam from Genius that promises to be a "True 315k Pixel Web Camera"

To be honest, even if I use my computer here in the office for a long time, I still can't seem to be a touch typist. There are times when I just want to go back in time (Grade 7 or so), and take my typing lessons from our teacher seriously.

But alas. We have yet to invent the time machine and I am getting sick and tired of just looking at my keyboard while I am typing this blog entry.

Good thing there are still some programmers who take the time out to provide people with programs that can teach you how to type properly, while having fun at the same time.

Before you read on, I'd first want you to guess what this particular gadget can do for you.

Okay.

Ready to know what this is?

Are you sure?

Then read on my beloved viewers.

Need to buy your girlfriend an anniversary gift? Geek that you are, an iPod might seem a logical choice - it's stylish, useful, popular and expensive enough to convince your girlfriend that you care deeply for her (at least your pockets do) - however, the white wonder from Apple still falls short of being a romantic present. Excepting of course a diamond ring or a vacation to the Maldives, flowers still take the prize as the most romantic gift you can give to your significant other. A single rose, bright red and fragrant, contains that special kilig factor that keeps the flames of love smoldering - that fact you know. What you don't know is that, these days, technology can play an important part in bringing that rose from the ground to your girlfriend's doorstep.

And I Feel Fine
The Best of the IRS Years 1982-1987
R.E.M.

Many years before R.E.M. became an arena-filling superband and Michael Stipe went bald and cuckoo, it was THE college band. Formed in 1980 by Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry, R.E.M. made intellectual, witty songs which were relevant to the times and pleasing to the soul. Stipe's voice mumbled through lyrics yet resonated enough for their first album MURMUR to become the 1983 Album of the Year in the Rolling Stone Critics Poll. The world had taken notice of a relatively obscure band from Athens, Georgia and has never been the same since.

Hello Moto! Last November 7, Motorola introduced their latest line-up with various mobile devices that will set the trend for the Philippine consumers. I was one of the lucky few to attend this event, but allow me to indulge you guys with pictures and descriptions of some of the products that I saw.

There are some times when we just say that a particular thing is cute. From pandas to babies: how each and every single person defines cute is dependent on one's personal idea of "cuteness."

This new product from fredflare called plush hi-tech keychains is one of those items that may be cute for some, but perhaps not to others.

Yes, exercise is really needed for us not to end up like couch potatoes. In fact, doctors are recommending us to exercise at least 3 times a week to keep cardiovascular sickness at bay.

However, with the advent of videogames, most of us would probably prefer to sit down and play for hours without any care in the world. But how about children? How about those who are just 8 or 9 but weighs like an adult? (It's true, I saw children like that in Oprah) I think it's about time parents step up and buy this machine.

Games like Front Mission or Gundam really makes me excited. In fact, when I play these games I feel like I am hypnotized... Honestly speaking, I think that the future is not going to be complete with big robots with tons of weapons. (Of course, I don't want the wars that come along with it)

Anyway, in order for you to get that quick "robot" fix, why don't you buy this product for your household? It's called Robotan from Airyusha...

Take a look at the mask above. Is it 3D rendered, or is it real? What do you think? Take a wild guess.

If flying is your thing, this might be a good start to appease that inner desire of yours: meet the Micro R/C Helicopter from Think Geek. It won't take out hours of your time just to assemble it together, nor will it crash right after it takes off the ground. It's small and light enough that it can use a person's palm as its landing pad. However, just like other RCs, the remote controller requires 8 AA batteries! Well, no matter, today's rechargeable NiMHs can go up to almost 3000mAh in capacity, and they're a whole lot more affordable too.

TIP: Go play Battlefield 2 first and experience some virtual copter flight training.

Ah, Yes. The beautiful and breathtaking constellations in the sky. I personally take some time out from all my worldly obligations to immerse myself in Astronomy. And while my sister had 'constellations' in her room (using glow in the dark stars), I really want 'realistic' stars to fill up my room. Luckily for us, there's such a thing as a Home Planetarium.

One of my pet peeves is noise: I really don't like it when someone makes a lot of noise especially when I am working or when I am sleeping. I get irritated, annoyed, and frustrated, eventually making me cranky and unapproachable.

Instead of buying those earplugs to "mask" the noise from surrounding areas, I have found a product that can actually make 'everything' cease to exist.
