Exciting Android Wear Watches!

Pinakabagong technology na ilalabas ng Google ang Android Wear kung saan sa pamamagitan ng mga relo na ito, pwede ka ng magsearch, mag-email, SMS, Chat, Calendar, News feeds, makinig ng music, magbrowse ng photos, magTweet at magFacebook at madami pang iba! Pwede mo rin macontrol ang iyong TV, smartphone, Laptop at PC sa pamamagitan nito. 

Android Wear

"Information that moves with you"

"Small, powerful devices, worn on the body. Useful information when you need it most. Intelligent answers to spoken questions. Tools to help reach fitness goals. Your key to a multiscreen world."

Ito yung itsura ng message mo sa Smartphone at ang message na matatanggap mo sa iyong watch o relo. 

Watch the videos here

Umpisa pa lang ito ng evolution ng Google, na kung saan suot mo sa wrist mo ang technology we are only barely starting. This is getting exciting.

Sabi sa Google Blog:

Android Wear: Information that moves with you 
Today we’re announcing Android Wear, a project that extends Android to wearables. And we’re starting with the most familiar wearable—watches. Going well beyond the mere act of just telling you the time, a range of new devices along with an expansive catalogue of apps will give you:

• Useful information when you need it most. Android Wear shows you info and suggestions you need, right when you need them. The wide variety of Android applications means you’ll receive the latest posts and updates from your favorite social apps, chats from your preferred messaging apps, notifications from shopping, news and photography apps, and more. 
• Straight answers to spoken questions. Just say “Ok Google” to ask questions, like how many calories are in an avocado, what time your flight leaves, and the score of the game. Or say “Ok Google” to get stuff done, like calling a taxi, sending a text, making a restaurant reservation or setting an alarm. 
• The ability to better monitor your health and fitness. Hit your exercise goals with reminders and fitness summaries from Android Wear. Your favorite fitness apps can give you real-time speed, distance and time information on your wrist for your run, cycle or walk. 
• Your key to a multiscreen world. Android Wear lets you access and control other devices from your wrist. Just say “Ok Google” to fire up a music playlist on your phone, or cast your favorite movie to your TV. There’s a lot of possibilities here so we’re eager to see what developers build. 

Ang mga larawan at videos ay galing sa Google.

Dont Just Trust - Email and Chat

Sa bawat araw na nagbubukas ako ng aking Yahoo at Gmail, merong mga email na  galing sa mga pinsan ng pinsan ng kaibigan ng lolo ko mula South Africa. No, mali po ang iniisip niyo, hindi po sila yung mga pinsan ng pinsan ng pinsan ng kaibigan ko na nakatira sa Manila Zoo. Sila po ay mga totoong tao na magbibigay saken ng mga kung anu ano, pati na ang mga bagay na di ko na mabanggit dahil di na kailangan pang banggitin at dahil marami ang mga mambabasa ko na wala pa sa tamang pag-iisip...I mean, mga mura pang isipan. Naks, isa ka na dun. Yes, ikaw. Magcomment ka nga, bata. hehe

Meron din akong mga emails galing sa aking mga fans na nasa UK, at maging galing ng India at minsan sa Europe at US of A. Ganun pa man, kahit dumarami sila, hindi po ako natutuwa.

Teka ha, sandali po at oopen ko lang ang aking email…

3, 929 po ang kanilang kabuuang bilang sa ngayon, sa kung anong dahilan at pinutakte nila ang aking account ay sadyang di ko pa lubos na naiintindihan. Hindi ko po kayang idetalye ang mga kahindik-hindik na nilalaman ng kanilang mga email messages, pero ibabahagi ko po ang mga iilan na maaring kayo man din po’y nakaranas or nakatanggap din.

Si Jon Standford na nasa South Africa, hinihingi ang aking account number at detailed info’s at ako’y papadalhan ng pera at kanyang ibabahagi ang yaman na namana niya sa kanyang yumaong ama.

Si Samantha Alfred, nagsasabing ako ay nanalo ng lottery sa aking email ay humingi ng aking address at contact details pati account numbers at ng maideposit ang halos di ko mabilang na zero’s of US dollars.

Si Amber Grissham, na HR Officer ng isang Oil company sa Spain pinapasubmit ako ng resume at credentials para maprocess ang aking pagkahire sa position na angkop na angkop daw sa aking propesyon – Forklift Operator Manager. Anong position yun? Hahaha!

Si Allan na manager ng GE, isang matalik kong kaibigan, nasa UK daw at nagsend ng email na humihiram ng 1000 US Dollars at nagkaron ng aberya sa lakad, at babayaran na lang pagbalik. Napatawag tuloy ako kaagad sa kanya, at ayun, natutulog sa bahay nila sa Khobar. “Ah, akala ko kasi na UK ka.”

Marami pa sila, may mga nagpropromise na palalakasin ako, pahahabain ang mga kung ano-ano, tatanggalin ang bun-i, ap-ap, kulugo at kulubot sa mukha. May mga email ng instant pera at yaman, pati instant hair growth. Meron ring libreng laptop, chat at pati viewing ng mga kung sino-sino at kung ano-ano.

Buti na lang nakafilter kayo, lahat kayo napupunta sa Spam Box, masarap sana ang Spam in Can, pero bakit nga ba SPAM ang ipinangalan?

Nitong mga nakalipas na araw, si Kuya Ramil na halos tatay ko na nagsend ng YM message sa akin at minura ako sa English...Di ko nga alam na marunong pala si Kuya ng mga ganong mura sa English. Isang beses pa at si Bambhi na teacher at kaibigan naming mga Thoughtskoto ay nagsend na view ko daw siya ng hubo’t hubad sa webcam niya. Sa sobrang hinhin at pagkaconservative niya, ayun at 33 na wala pa ring asawa, tapos ganun? Si Donna na nasa Hawaii nagsend na pwede ko daw ba siya padalhan ng load ng Smart Roaming, kahit scratch ko na at pin # na lang ibigay ko sa YM. Si Donna, na nag-aaral ng Hawaii, hihingi ng pangload sa akin? Lahat ng sagot ko, SPAMMER, LOKOHIN MONG LELONG MO!

I have a previous entry about this before...here

and

another about chat here

It’s great that we have the wonderful means to communicate and to reach out, but there are some who take advantage of it so be careful with your password. Don’t just trust anyone or any message, especially if it’s from email or chat.
