A Real Estate Agent in Spain

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

What is a real estate agent? What is this work all about? There responsibility is to help buy and sell houses. These agents must approximately know how much of a house’s worth.

Camera For Watchdogs

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

The gruesome Metrobank (in Cavite, Philippines) hold-up which took place months ago could have been prevented if the bank’s closed circuit TV (CCTV) cameras were functioning properly. Whether in banks or retail stores, CCTV cameras are a must.
A working CCTV camera will allow bank authorities, and shopkeepers, to keep a close watch on [...]

On September 9, 2008, Steve Jobs introduced Apple’s 4th generation iPod Nano at the “Let’s Rock” event in San Francisco. Dubbed the slimmest Nano ever, it features a curved, all aluminum case and glass screen. Its height, though, is similar to that of the 1st and 2nd generation versions so that this new iPod is [...]

London Olympics in 2012: The Race is On

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

The Beijing Olympics spawned a lot of controversies. Aside from the political brouhaha over its claims on Tibet, China also had to answer to allegations of the fake opening ceremony singer and fireworks. Despite all these, though, one must admit that the over-all handling of the Olympics was well-organized, and the first one to echo [...]

Poochaz’s View on the Dark Knight

Friday, September 19th, 2008

 

If I am to bet which movie of the Batman franchise is the greatest of all time, my hat goes to Batman Begins. And it’s not because Christian Bale’s take on the role is much edgier than Keaton’s, Kilmer’s and Clooney’s. The scriptwriting and the story line are at its best.
Most of the previous [...]

Punisher: War Zone Coming Soon

Friday, September 19th, 2008

While The Punisher is one of my favorite superheroes minus the super powers, The Punisher movie is a shame, hands down. Blame it on bad acting, bad script, and bad overall film management. The movie and the unborn film franchise undoubtedly needs redemption. Of course, it takes another actor, another director, and another plot to [...]

Another great news for people who still have the hangover of 1980’s animation! The TV cartoon hit Voltron: Defender of the Universe is finally in the works to have its own film adaptation. A lot of people (adults, male adults, mind you) have been talking about the prospect of having the 5 Lion robots on [...]

Pricey But Useless Bling Mobiles

Friday, September 19th, 2008

As a simple man with simple needs, a mobile phone with the features that fit my lifestyle (e.g. SMS, MMS, music storage and playback, Internet and Bluetooth connectivity) would be enough. But for the filthy rich and those who are pretty much famous, having a mobile phone complete with features is not an option. For [...]
