 MANILA – A bill has been filed at the House of Representatives 
seeking to prohibit all computer shop owners from admitting minors into 
their establishments within school hours. 

In a statement released on Sunday, Valenzuela City first district 
representative Win Gatchalian said House Bill No. 4740, to be known as 
the “Internet Cafe Regulation Act," will limit children’s access to 
computers and other gadgets to prevent addiction and untoward incidents 
on popular games, such as DOTA and Counter-Strike. 

"High-stakes matches involving gambling among gamers, who are usually
 minors, tend to result in violence when one party becomes dissatisfied 
with the result of the match,” he said. 

In the initial deliberation of HB 4740, Gatchalian said parents also 
have an important role in monitoring the computer games and websites 
their children access. 

“Dapat din bantayan ng mga magulang kung appropriate ba sa age ng mga
 anak nila ang games at websites na nilalaro o binibisita ng mga bata,” 
Gatchalian said. 

Due to too much computer exposure, Gatchalian said the risk of 
addiction to game and other unwanted sites among children increases. 

“On one hand, Internet has allowed people to research and conduct work without having to invest so much on time,” he said. 

"However, we also need to recognize that computers bring 
entertainment through games, and children have the tendency to be easily
 addicted to these games as they have impressionable minds that games 
could be easily influenced,” Gatchalian added. Source: <a href="http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/lifestyle/gadgets-and-tech/02/22/15/bill-filed-prevent-addiction-dota-counter-strike" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Abs-Cbn</a>

From comic book in Japan, gold items in Dubai, and ATM (Authomatic Tubig Machine) in Philippines, vending machines have proven it's dynamic technology concept. But now I'm going to talk about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wi-Fi</a> vending machine. 
 
<a href="http://agnsolutions.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AGN Solutions</a> distributed this Wi-Fi enabled machine can give you instant Wi-Fi hotspot for as low as Php 1. It uses an IEE802.11 b/g/n compatible router at 2.4Ghz band. 
The process is simple. Get a peso coin. You insert a coin to the machine and it will 
issue a receipt with your username and password, the minutes of allowed access, QR code and other details. The vending machine uses captive portal access point for the login portal where you provide the username and password given by the machine. It serves as your credentials inorder that the machine will grant your access. Once you are logged in, you can start now start browsing. Pros: - Availability - Cheaper Cons: - Data Fluctuation if there were many users - Can be hacked or bypassed using VPNs

Rates:

Php 1 = 5 minutes 
Php 5 = 25 minutes 
Php 10 = 50 minutes

Microsoft's Project Spartan

 As rumored, <a href="http://adf.ly/wWLUF" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Microsoft</a> will be introducing a new default web browser as part of Windows 10 — and it's not Internet Explorer. The new browser, dubbed Project Spartan for now, represents a new era for Microsoft and its web browsing efforts. Project Spartan isn't so much of a completely new take on the web browser as much as it is a way to rebrand Microsoft's browser efforts. Internet Explorer 11 is a good web browser, but its market share has fallen over the years on the desktop and its presence in mobile is virtually nonexistent. That's in part because of the legacy baggage carried by the Internet Explorer brand. No matter how good Internet Explorer has become, for many users, speaking of IE conjures up images of IE 6 or IE 7. No one wants to go back to that era of browsing. So rather than try to convince the world that IE is still awesome, Microsoft has decided to introduce a new browser. Based on a new rendering engine, Project Spartan offers a more clean user experience, a more streamlined appearance and is designed for mobile, tablets and the desktop. Other features of Project Spartan include: 
<ul>
<li>The ability to annotate web pages and share them with others around you. This works both with a pen and touch device or with a keyboard and mouse.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A special reading list and reading mode, similar to Apple's Reading List and apps such as Pocket or Instapaper. The reading list feature actually works offline, which is cool.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Built-in PDF support.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Cortana support. Again, this is similar to some of the Siri-powered features built-into Spotlight and Safari on iOS and OS X. That said, Microsoft's efforts seem a bit more robust. In addition to working in a Google Now-like manner with helping anticipate events happening soon, it can also work alongside actual web pages and text on a page, rather than simply in a search menu.  </li>
</ul>
 
Will this be enough? Microsoft's desktop market share has fallen over the last five years as Google's Chrome browser has become the favorite for desktop machines. Moreover, Chrome also has an advantage of being the default browser on Android, which means that more people use Google's browser on mobile and on the desktop. Meanwhile, an increasing number of web developers no longer view IE compatibility as an important attribute. Developers build sites and apps for WebKit and Blink, the two rendering engines (that are very similar in nature) that power Safari and Chrome on mobile and desktop, first. Mozilla's Firefox often gets tested too and it has been designed to be largely compatible with code prefixes written for WebKit or Blink. Only after the major bases are covered do an increasing number of developers focus on Internet Explorer. For Microsoft, this is a problem.  
 The big challenge Microsoft will face with Project Spartan isn't just whether this new web browser can win over former users who harbor ill-feelings towards IE, but if developers will start to treat Microsoft as a central platform for web development again.

<a href="http://adf.ly/wWGAW" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Windows 10</a> will be free for existing Windows users running versions of the OS, going back to Windows 7. That includes Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows Phone. Microsoft specified the Windows 10 upgrade would be free for the first year of release, but users would need to pay for it after that. However, Microsoft will support the upgrade for the "lifetime of the device," according to the announcement. 
 
"We want to make Windows 10 the most loved release of Windows," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said at the event. ""We are going to have services everywhere. But when it comes to Windows, we're not bolting on apps." Source: <a href="http://adf.ly/wWFby" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mashable</a>
