Curse of August 21
WE could recall that what was dubbed as the EDSA People Power Revolution (EDSA 1) was triggered by an extremely minuscule group that began agitating for that happening around midnight of Feb. 21, 1986 at the corner of Aurora Boulevard and EDSA in Cubao, Quezon City. The group was waving a singular flag on which were written the words: "August Twenty One Movement ATOM." The group was calling for the downfall of the government of President Ferdinand E. Marcos. That augured what eventually Corazon C. Aquino would brag as the "bloodless revolt" that brought down the Marcos dictatorship. Galunggong skyrocketed to P80 per kilogram from the low P28 immediately before Cory assumed the presidency. Meralco, which Marcos had placed in the name of...

Cloudflare mitigated one of the largest DDoS attack involving 17.2 million rps
Web infrastructure and website security company Cloudflare on Thursday disclosed that it mitigated the largest ever volumetric distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack recorded to date.

Sinong mag aakala magiging communist country ang America?
Tingin nyo, babagsak ba sa pagiging communist country ang Amerika? Ang beacon of hope and freedom. Kontrolado na ng communist agents ang academic system nila, meron silang tinatawag na CRT o Critical Race Theory kung saan ginagawang masama ang mga puti at pinapalaki ang ulo ng mga itim para magfeeling entitled at patuloy silang mawalan ng tiwala sa isa't isa at mag away away imbes na magtulungan. Divide and conquer. Yan ang taktika na ginagamit sa kanila ng mga communist agents na nagawang mainfiltrate ang lahat ng tactical areas ng pamumuhay sa Amerika. Black lives matter. Antifa. Racism. LGBTQ. Gender equality. PETA. Vegans. Immigrants. No voters ID policy. Academic system. Political landscape. Laws. Maging ang Hollywood, News...
Reklamo vs poor services ng Dito bumuhos
Inulan ng reklamo sa social media mula sa mga dismayadong customer ang umano’y hindi magandang serbisyo ng Dito Telecommunity. Ang post ng Dito sa Facebook na nag-aanunsyo sa pop-up shops sa buong Metro Manila kung saan maaaring makabili ng SIM cards ay umani ng mga negatibong reaction mula sa mga netizen at user. Ang mga negatibong reaksyon ay nakatuon sa umano’y ‘superly bad’ service ng Dito, SIM cards na hindi compatible sa ibang phones, unstable signal, slow o erratic internet speed at iba pa. Inireklamo naman ng iba ang umano’y overpriced SIM cards at poor customer service. “After 2 days still no answer!” pahayag ng isang galit na customer, na sinabing nag-order siya ng SIM ngunit nabigong matanggap ito pagkalipas ng ilang araw...
Mga refugees galing sa afghanistan handang tanggapin ng pilipinas ayon sa malacañang
Sinabi ng Malacañang na handa ang bansang Pilipinas na tanggapin ang mga refugees na tumakas sa Afghanistan kasabay ng pagtake over ng Taliban sa gobyerno. Ito ang pahayag ni Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, dahil sa nangyayaring kaguluhan doon. Itinaas na rin ngayon ng gobyerno ng Pilipinas sa Alert Level 4 ang sitwasyon sa Afghanistan na ang ibig sabihin ay mandatory na ang evacuation ng mga Pinoy sa nasabing bansa. Samantala, wala pa namang komento ang Malacañang kung ire-recognize ng Duterte administration ang Taliban-led Afghan government.
Yahoo aims to phase out passwords with new service
SAN FRANCISCO - Yahoo's next step in password security is to eliminate them altogether. Starting on Thursday, the company announced, users of the Yahoo Mail app on both iOS and Android will have access to a new service called Yahoo Account Key, which uses smartphones to verify identities in lieu of traditional passwords.

Son of Sam serial killer is arrested On August 10, 1977, 24-year-old postal employee David Berkowitz is arrested and charged with being the “Son of Sam,” the serial killer who terrorized New York City for more than a year, killing six young people and wounding seven others with a .44-caliber revolver. Because Berkowitz generally targeted attractive young women with long brown hair, hundreds of young women had their hair cut short and dyed blonde during the time he terrorized the city. Thousands more simply stayed home at night. Source: history.com
