Asus Zenbook UX31 Review

The first time I personally saw the Asus Zenbook, I knew it would be my next laptop (the last two I bought were all Macbook Airs). And while ultrabooks are still in their infancy stage, they’ve already sparked interest and awe to the point of being an aspirational device. I’ve been using the Zenbook UX31 for a couple of weeks now and have actually made it my primary laptop without much hesitation. Check out our full review of the Asus Zenbook UX31 after the jump.

Online Advertising & the Omnibus Election Code

I’m no Election Law expert nor am I a lawyer trying to explain some mumbo-jumbo about the Omnibus Election Code. However, I’d like to start some discussions about online or internet advertising in relation to the upcoming May 2007 elections (looks like I’m into this election lately).

First, Internet Advertising. I quickly glanced at the Omnibus Election Code of the Philippines and there wasn’t a section about campaigning thru the internet nor any provisions which monitors advertising online. There are specific sections on equalizing air-time among candidates on TV and radio but still none for the internet. (A side note: Will blogs and news site be the new target for these type of online campaigns?)

Second, Text Message Campaigns. SMS is huge and there hasn’t been any provision to control or monitor campaigns thru mobile phones. I heard the NTC is going to move to make some necessary adjustments for this. I’m already annoyed at the amount of text spam and alerts I’m getting. I sure hell don’t want any more “vote me” messages in my Inbox.
