Ingress: Arguably The Best Augmented Reality Game Every Created

Ingress is an augmented reality, massive multiplayer online, GPS online game that created by Niantic Labs, a startup within Google. The game originally can be played only on Android devices but has recently been ported to Apple's iOS devices.

The gameplay consists of establishing "portals" at places with religious and geographic landmarks, great architectural works, etc, and linking them to produce a virtual triangular fields over geographic areas. Progress in the game is measured by the number of "mind units" (MUs).



The game consists of two factions, the Enlightened (which is represented by the color green ) and the Resistance (which is represented by the color blue).


To my fellow bloggers who are either travel bloggers or frequently travel to various places, this kind of game would suit your lifestyle.

Lessons Learn From the Leaked Jennifer Lawrence Nude Photos Scandal

The Internet is a very a nice tool that we use to get information and to interact with other people.  Unfortunately though it can be a detrimental to an individual if that person is not careful. The latest news about the Jennifer Lawrence,  Kate Upton,  et al. nude photos that were leaked online through hacked iCloud accounts only shows that online privacy is not what it seems. 

As a person who has worked in the Information Technology industry, the only REAL online security is NOT to take the photos and videos at all. 

So to everyone who already took racy photos or videos of themselves or with your significant others,  you should start making efforts on moving your materials into a more offline AND secure storage.  For those who thinking of doing it for the first time,  I suggest you don't. If you think your mobile devices are secured you might want to think again and ask yourself "Is it worth the risk?"

Back from a Long Haitus

It's been a while since I posted an updated on this blog. I can blame this on how hectic my work is. Being an SEO specialist is so demanding at times, I'm burned out when I arrive home. Good thing for vacation leaves.

For gadget geeks like me the announcement of the Apple's upcoming release of the iOS 7 operating system as well as the announcement of the two new version of the iPhone aptly call the iPhone 5C and the iPhone 5S.  What's interesting about the new iPhones is that the latest versions uses gold casing which is change from it previous hard glass back casing.

Football Season is here

September is one of the busiest season in the United States as Football (the American football sport not Soccer) Season starts this week. Both the National Football League (NFL) and College Football (NCAA) will be the topic of discussions by most American as this sport is one the most exciting sport of all.

I am one of few Filipinos who follows this sport as compared to the majority who are  basketball fanatics. If someone would ask why you prefer football over other professional sport? Simple. It only takes one game to determine the champion (compare to basketball, baseball or even hockey which would need 4 wins out of 7 games to determine the champion).

There are several Filipinos who play or has  played in the NFL: Eugene Amano formerly of the Tenesee Titans, Chris Gocong formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles and the most popular Manila born NFL player is Tim Tebow.

Upcoming Movie to Watch: RoboCop (The Remake)

 The Original RoboCop was released in 1987 which stars Peter Weller and it's considered one of the acclaimed movies at that time. Next year, RoboCop the Reboot version is surprising good visually and as the trailer shows it has much better action. My only personal comment about the reboot is that the new RoboCop looks more like Judge Dredd than a cyborg supercop, but the rest of the movie looks promising.

Celebrity Sex Scandals: Why They Never Learn

Sex Scandals have been one the most talk about topics in interwebs particularly in on social media to the point that it spreads like adding gasoline to already dangerous fire. 

Recently there was the Chito Miranda - Neri Naig Sex Video on which the video was supposedly obtained from the stolen hard drive of the Mr. Miranda. Now there's a new one this time it's comedian Wally Bayola having a tryst with EB Babe Yosh Rivera.  This new sex scandal has a much harsher outcome as both personalties might lose their jobs and on the case of mr. Bayola he might go to prison for concubinage since he's married.

My take on this events is that why these celebrities risks on engaging on recording their "private moments" with the risk of being distributed illegally and spread it all over the Internet. In this day of age of the social media, Everyone should be responsible on what they do may it be "offline" or "online".

To end this blog post here are some words to live by:
