We attended the Samsung Smart Camera launch that was held yesterday at the Rockwell Tent. The event was hosted by none other than Ms. Iya Villania with guest appearances from Ashley Rivera (a.k.a Petra Mahalimuyak), Laureen Uy and Sam YG. Each of them has demonstrated some of the featured smart camera’s functionalities by telling it to the audience themselves or by showing a short video clip. The event featured entry level, mid-range and high end cameras that are affordable but are packed with features.

A number of readers have been telling me that they can’t access my blog from their office network. Sometimes, it’s not just my blog but a host of other sites as well like PEx, TipidPC, Youtube, Flickr, etc. Others tell me that their network scans all the domains each workstation visits and flags an alert if you visit certain domains too frequently (anybody familiar with WebSense?).
I’ve addressed some of these issues before by suggesting FeedBlitz and the Google Proxy hack.
Here are some more suggestions I can think of:
- Subscribe to RSS-to-Email feeds. Feedburner has one. That’s also another reason why bloggers should go for full feeds instead of partial feeds. RSS-to-Email feeds are useless to your email subscribers if you only have partial feeds.
- Use Startpages! Netvibes, PageFlakes, Protopage, etc.
- Or go with online feed readers — Bloglines, Google Feedreader, My!Yahoo, MSN Live, etc.
- Try some anonymous web surfing sites like The Cloak and Unblokr. These are the best tools you will need to surf all those filter or blocked sites from your network.
If you got some other ideas out there, do share them with the rest of us.
