  • DMCI Homes Fairview Project

    January 13, 2010
    Superb living assured in DMCI Homes’ upcoming Fairview Project

    In early 2010, renowned property developer DMCI Homes will be launching the Fairview Project, a mid-rise condominium situated right across a popular mall in Fairview. Situated at a location with many conveniences, this new project is slated to become a comfortable living space that offers sublime amenities and exceptionally planned home environments for numerous denizens of the metropolis. The project is also near schools, business districts and churches in the Lagro and Novaliches areas.

    The prime location allows the Fairview Project access through various routes, so getting to where you need to go needn’t be a problem. By 2013, Fairview will be more accessible than ever due to the expected completion of MRT 7, the transit line of which will pass through Regalado Highway and Quirino Highway, and will end at San Jose del Monte City, Bulacan. This development will make the Fairview the gateway to Northern Metro Manila.
    DMCI Homes’ Fairview Project will be comprised of 500 quality units, designed with the needs of different lifestyles in mind. The architecture will be uniquely Neo-Asian, described as the modern interpretation of traditional Asian elements. The aesthetics will extend to the greens and outdoor components of the property. This is a distinct design in Fairview, as no other residential development features this type of architecture. It will definitely stand out in the Quezon City landscape.
    Because it’s a DMCI Homes endeavor, the upcoming Fairview Project already assures buyers of high-quality homes. The developer’s 55-year construction heritage from DMCI, as a builder of the country’s numerous landmarks, speaks of unparalleled commitment. The Fairview Project will undoubtedly be a good investment; buyers will enjoy fast real estate value appreciation because of excellent maintenance by the property management team. And since the project is in a good location, the buyer can also lease the unit out to the interested renters.
    The Fairview Project will be offering bigger condo unit sizes. The unit offerings are 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units ranging from 50 to 65 square meters. This is a far cry from what the competition offers, which is only an average of 31 square meters. There will be better and more amenities as well. While other developers offer basic condominium amenities, they are not as complete and well-designed as DMCI developments’. Future residents can expect better building features like landscaped atriums with natural lighting and ventilation, single-loaded corridors and balconies in all units.
    Future unit owners of the Fairview Project will be guaranteed maximum living space, as the structure only has a density of about 250 units per hectare, half that of the competitor average. As with other DMCI Homes projects, different payment schemes will allow owners the utmost convenience and ease. And future unit owners of the Fairview Project can look forward to their dream living environment and its world-class amenities, as DMCI Homes will realize them as planned.
    DMCI Homes is the country’s premier triple A builder-developer that brings serviced, themed communities within reach of urban families who once had limited residential options, but still aspire to achieve a comfortable, enriching quality of life proximate to their place of work.

  • T-Mobile to Slash Prices on Android Handsets

    More great news for you potential T-Mobile customers and those of you eligible for full upgrades.  Starting tomorrow, T-Mobile is slated to slash prices on many of their handsets, including most of the Android-based phones.  Thanks to another TmoNews tipster, we’ve learned the new prices should be as follows:

    • Motorola Cliq $149.99 2 year contract. No mail-in-rebates
    • Samsung Behold 2 $149.99 2 year contract. No mail-in-rebates
    • T-Mobile G1 $99.99 2 year contract. No mail-in-rebates
    • Fender Limited Edition Mytouch $179.99 2 year contract. No mail-in-rebates.

    The “regular” myTouch 3G isn’t mentioned so we’ll assume it will stay at the current price point of $149.99 with a 2 year agreement.  If you listen to our podcasts, you’ll know we like to poke a little fun at the Behold II for its high cost.  Perhaps dropping down to $150 will help move a few units.  Nice work T-Mobile – Keep it coming!

  • Ultimate Ears 18 Pro headphones feature six drivers per ear

    We’ve always had a soft spot for Ultimate Ears, but things are getting crazy now that it’s flush with all that Logitech money: the headphone makers just introduced the Ultimate Ears 18 Pro custom monitors, which feature six drivers in each earbud. That’s right, six drivers: two each for bass, mids, and treble, along with a four-way crossover and a three-channel design that keeps each low, mid, and high frequencies isolated until they reach your ears. Yeah, we want them — too bad they cost $1,350. We’ll stick with our Super.fi 5 Pros for now then, thanks.

  • DIY: The Ikea camera dolly

    ivar-dollyHere’s one of the easier projects I’ve seen on Make in a while. Take an Ikea “Ivar” ladder, lay it on the floor, and use it as a camera dolly. Just the thing for shooting video, I could have used one of these while we were in Vegas. The best part about this project? It’s cheap. You’re looking at roughly $30 worth of parts to build this.

    It’s pretty simple; take an Ivar shelving side unit, a piece of plywood, some rollerblade wheels, assorted nuts and bolts, some skateboard grip tape, and you are rolling (no pun intended). Assembly is pretty self explanatory from the pictures, and the end result is a smooth rolling camera dolly that’s light, easy to transport, and cheap. Check out some sample video from the builder, and then go build one yourself.

  • Santa Anita Park Race 7 Horse Racing Betting Pick Friday 1-15-09

    With our free pick from horse racing we are going to select from Race 7 at Santa Anita on Friday’s card. Post time is scheduled for 7:07PM Eastern Time and you can watch it on TVG. With our free pick we will play on #11 Snowmaster to win.

    Riding Snowmaster will be jockey Rafael Bejarano and is trained by Graham Motion. The 7th at Santa Anita today is scheduled for 1 1/16th of a mile on the synthetic main surface for four year olds and upward. This is a conditioned optional claming race. This four-year-old colt has been in the money in all 6 of his lifetime races. There is a huge move here to a high percentage jock in Bejarano. He is making a turf to main track move in this race after two pretty good efforts against Allowance company. I like the fact Snowmaster’s Brisnet numbers have improved in each of his past 3 races. This consistent hard trying colt is the choice in this conditioned optional claiming race.

    Play #11 Snowmaster to win race 7 at Santa Anita 4-1 on the Morning Line.

    Post Time at 7:07PM Eastern Time televised by TVG

  • Why the Kankakee County Farm Bureau hates net neutrality




    The Kankakee County Farm Bureau wants to stop net neutrality. So does the Erie Neighborhood House, along with Downtown Springfield Inc, Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties, and the mayor of North Chicago.

    The organizations all share several things: they are located in Chicago, they want the FCC to focus on broadband adoption rather than net neutrality, and… they all have connections to AT&T.

  • Funicular y Teleférico a Monserrate en Bogotá

    Transcribo este hilo tal cual lo creó Don Pacho en Latinscrapers hace más de 3 años. No he visto uno que hable sobre el sistema en nuestro foro, y considero que no debe de ser así. (La mayoría de imágenes están desactualizadas, en todo caso en el segundo comentario publico imágenes recientes).

    Teleférico

    El teleférico es un medio de transporte que consiste en cabinas con capacidad para llevar un grupo de personas. Estas cabinas viajan suspendidas en el aire transportadas por uno o varios cables. La mayoría de estos medios de transporte son accionados por energía eléctrica. Este trasporte se usa en zonas con grandes diferencias de altura, donde el acceso por carretera o ferrocarril resulta difícil.

    En Colombia los teleféricos se usan más que todo para el turismo, los tres ejemplos más relevantes son el teleférico que sube al Cerro de Monserrate, el de la Zona Cafetera y el Metrocable de Medellín. En Monserrate el teleférico fue recientemente renovado y su moderno sistema se asemeja al del teleférico de Caracas. Uno de los antecedentes del teleférico en Colombia es el cable, que funcionó a principios del siglo XX en las inmediaciones de la ciudad de Manizales con una vasta red que iba desde el río Magdalena hasta la ciudad en la montaña, pasando por el Páramo de letras.

    El teleférico de Monserrate en Bogotá fue puesto en funcionamiento en 1955, en una modalidad bicable, con dos cabinas para transportar 40 pasajeros cada una. El usuario va desde 2.692 metros sobre el nivel del mar hasta 3.152, con un recorrido de 880 metros, que se realiza en 7 minutos.

    Funicular

    Esta obra, de menos de un kilómetro de longitud, fue construída en 1929. Por tener una finalidad meramente turística. La línea es un modelo suizo con dos carros (vagones) y un intercambiador a media vía.

    La línea tiene dos puentes, uno de 3.8 metros y el otro de 50. El intercambiador tiene 100 metros. También hay un túnel de 252 metros.
    Los carros originales tenían 9 metros de largo. La capacidad en 4 compartimientos podía sentar 40 y 20 parados para una capacidad total de 60 pasajeros
    En el año 1962 el funicular fue modernizado extensivamente. Mejores motores y nuevos carros fueron instalados que ahora tiene un largo de 10.15 metros de fabricación suiza. Tienen una capacidad de 25 sentados y 57 pasajeros parados, para una capacidad total de 82 pasajeros. Uno de los carros originales fue conservado y esta en exhibición.

    Datos técnicos:

    Largo de la carrilera (medido horizontalmente): 684 metros
    Largo de la carrilera efectiva incluyendo el intercambiador: 820 metros
    Estación en la parte de abajo del cerro: 2692 metros sobre el nivel del mar
    Estación en la parte alta del cerro: 3152 metros sobre le nivel del mar
    Diferencia en altura: 460 metros
    Duración del viaje: 7.5 minutos
    Inclinación mas baja: 39%
    Inclinación mas alta: 80.5%
    Inclinación promedio: 70%

  • NY Times Finds An 8-Year-Old On TSA Flight Watch List

    Back in 2007, the TSA wrote a “mythbuster” blog post on its site claiming that no 8-year-olds were on the TSA “no fly” list, which apparently was a challenge to the NY Times. While it didn’t actually find an 8-year-old on the “no fly” list, it did find one on the “watch list.” To be fair, the TSA in its blog post does acknowledge that there could be some 8-year-olds on the watch list, but none on the no fly list. And the Times did not find one on the no fly list — so the TSA’s blog post is technically accurate.

    That said, the TSA blog post also claims that if there are mistakes that lead to an 8-year-old being on the watch list, airlines can “automatically deselect” them. And… that did not appear to happen. The kid that the NYT found apparently gets vigorously searched every time he flies. The Times did get the TSA to say on record that “there are no children on the no-fly or selectee lists,” but the fact that little Mikey Hicks gets searched so much highlights the problem. Right now, it seems like everything is based on a name alone. That’s not particularly sophisticated. By this point, shouldn’t the TSA have better tools than just a name to determine if someone is worth additional scrutiny?

  • Seesmic gives key upgrades to Blackberry application users

    seesmic-logoPopular social networking dashboard Seesmic has been busy lately. With the recent purchase of Ping.fm extending its updating capabilities, Seesmic today announced several key Twitter upgrades to its Blackberry application.

    Recently making upgrades to its mobile Android version, Seesmic is now adding Blackberry features to make Twitter users’ experience easier, according to its blog.  Features include lists, retweets, searches, picture preview, geo-location through Google Maps, a connection with BlackBerry’s BIS-B Internet work, and the ability to delete tweets.

    While most of these features can be found across most Twitter applications, several have the potential to make Seesmic on Blackberry a popular app. Aside from the practical retweet function, users will now be able choose a quote feature which includes the quoted user automatically at the end of the tweet. A picture preview feature allows the user to preview any pictures from image services both in the timeline and actual tweets. Leveraging Google Maps and Twitter’s geo-location feature, tweets will have customized maps to reflect the Tweeters location. Lastly, users using any connection, even the BIS-B connection, will be able to use the app.

    Seesmic is quickly becoming a go to desktop and mobile all in one social network dashboard. It will be interesting to see what the rest of 2010 holds for the company.

  • Google lowers Nexus One upgrade price to $279, issues $100 refund to early upgraders

    Good news, earthlings! Apparently Google’s taken all the complaints about Nexus One upgrade pricing to heart, because it’s giving $100 rebates to current T-Mobile subscribers who paid $379 for the HTC-built handset — and it says it’ll be widening the net and offering upgrades to even more current T-Mo subs, although we still don’t know how that’s determined. That means the new Nexus One pricing tiers break down like this: $529 unlocked, $279 upgrade for (some) current T-Mo subs, and $179 on a new 2-year contract. Handshakes all around. Now, let’s fix up family plan activations and that crazy double ETF, shall we?

  • DigitalRise X9 tablet has Atom, multitouch, $780 price tag

    This one doesn’t seem to have quite made it to CES, but DigitalRise’s new X9 tablet is now available to order, and it packs just enough familiar features to fit right in with the pack. That includes a 10.2-inch multitouch display, an Atom N270 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, built-in 3G, GPS and WiFi, and Windows 7 for an operating system. Of course, availability is apparently limited to import shops at the moment, and this one doesn’t exactly come cheap, with it running a hefty $780 — although that is a $220 discount off its $1,000 list price.

  • Nexus One sells only 20,000 phones its first week

    Filed under: , ,

    Another “iPhone killer” has failed to deliver on its hype. According to mobile analytics firm Flurry, Google’s Nexus One phone sold a mere 20,000 units in its first week in the market.

    The Flurry report goes on to compare the Nexus One launch with other smartphones, including the Motorola Droid, which sold 250,000 units in its first week. In its comparison to the iPhone 3GS launch, however, the report is a bit disingenuous. The iPhone 3GS was an update to an existing & wildly popular product, not a completely new product launch. In that light, the 1.6 million iPhones sold in the first week of the 3GS launch, while indeed 80 times the number of Nexus One sales, aren’t a true apples-to-Apple comparison.

    Instead, a better comparison may be to sales of the original iPhone. According to Apple’s Q3 2007 results, released on 25 July 2007, the iPhone sold 270,000 units during the quarter. The original iPhone was released nearly a month earlier, on June 29. That works out to around 10,000 original iPhones sold per day following its 2007 release, which dovetails nicely with an early 2008 analysis of iPhone sales from Ars Technica. Far from the flabbergasting sales lead of the 3GS, the original iPhone sold about 3.5 times as many units in its 2007 launch as Nexus One did in 2010; also, the original iPhone sold for a hefty $599, even with an AT&T contract, while the Nexus One is $179 with a new T-Mobile contract ($529 without).

    If anything, these numbers highlight the popularity of the Droid compared to the Nexus One. Droid sold nearly as many phones in its first week as the original iPhone sold in its first month, which is nothing to sneer at. By comparison to the Droid, however, the Nexus One launched with a whimper, not a bang.

    Flurry notes, correctly, that the Nexus One launch has suffered low numbers in part because of Google’s “soft launch” of the phone. Both Droid and the iPhone had aggressive marketing campaigns leading up to their respective launches, while the Nexus One has had to rely largely on industry hype and Google’s own advertising. Nexus One also launched directly after the holiday season, which seems like a boneheaded move; a launch even three weeks earlier could have gained them much more robust sales. Google is also sort of “going its own” compared to Apple and AT&T’s partnership with the iPhone and Verizon’s vigorous hyping of Droid.

    All these factors aside, both the low sales numbers and criticism of both the handset itself and Google’s abysmal customer support boil down to one thing: while it may be a good phone on its own merits (or not), the Nexus One is no iPhone killer.

  • Intel earnings surprise: we have lift-off

    Depending on how you look at it, Intel either turned in a monster of an earnings report for the fourth quarter of 2009, or they’ve finally pulled back up to 2007 levels—the former view gives you a whopping 875 percent jump in year-over-year net income, while the latter gives you essentially three “lost years,” in which the company’s revenues topped out (2007), then tanked (2008), then ramped right back up (2009). Either way, Intel has posted a “V-shaped recovery” that is gunning its stock up in after-hours trading.

    The basic numbers are in the chart below, but you can get the whole story by looking at only two of the: top-line revenue, which is back up to bubblicious 2007 levels, and gross margin, which is a record 65 percent. What this means is that a combination of aggressive cost cutting and a fresh round of IT and consumer spending has gotten Intel back to where it was before the financial crisis of late 2008.

    GAAP Financial Comparison

    Quarterly Results

    Q4 2009
    vs. Q3 2009
    vs. Q4 2008

    Revenue     		$10.6 billion up 13% up 28%

    Operating Income     		$2.5 billion down 3% up 62%

    Net Income     		$2.3 billion up 23% up 875%

    Earnings Per Share     		40 cents up 7 cents up 36 cents

    To see just what a roller coaster ride it has been, take a look at the chart below, which shows the GAAP revenue and net income numbers for Intel over the past three years:

    Intel Revenue and Net Income, 2007-2009

    Note that if you turned those revenue numbers into a line graph and added a bunch of noise, you’d have a slightly flattened chart of the S&P 500 over that same period. In other words, as goes the economy, so goes Intel, at least in recent times.

    Digging into the numbers, the PC Client Group, Data Center Group, and Other Intel Architecture Group all saw double-digit revenue gains, with the Atom group posting a 6 percent jump. The company saw the value of its equity investments jump by $96 million, and its effective tax rate drop to 12 percent.

    Broken down geographically, revenue was up across all regions.
