I love shortcuts and I use shortcuts on almost all the apps I’m using on my computer, it makes things easier and better to navigate and control whatever you’re doing.

Just recently, I was bored and I wanted to know how some of my friends do their status message designs. Instead, I’ve discovered Facebook has freaking shortcuts too! Hahaha. Well, I wasn’t surprised. This is a web application and just like any other applications around, it has shortcuts.

Apparently, this shortcuts seem to work only on Google Chrome and Flock (browsers I tried it on). Partly works on Internet Explorer and doesn’t work on Firefox.

If it works on any other browser you are using, please leave your comment.

Now here’s the shortcuts:

Alt+1 goes to your News Feed or Home

Alt+2 goes to your Profile

Alt+3 checks your Friend Requests

Alt+4 checks your Messages

Alt+5 checks your Notifications

Alt+6 goes to your Account Settings

Alt+7 goes to your Privacy Settings

Alt+8 goes to the official Facebook page

Alt+9 goes to the Facebook Terms page

and last but not the least, Alt+0 goes to the Facebook Help page

Now, my Facebook life is easier!

I was planning to buy a new phone for myself since my current phone (N80) is kinda faced-out already and it’s kinda bulky now, but still, I love the features. So I was considering to buy an Apple iPhone, but I chose Nokia 5800, why?

Here is my 7 reasons why I chose Nokia 5800 over an Apple iPhone:

1. Cheaper.

Well, cost is what I lookup first when it comes to buying things. Hey, what do you expect, I’m a guy! Guys look at prices first, hehe. Anyways, here in the Philippines, Nokia 5800 is way cheaper than Apple iPhone. Globe Telecom, the official distributor of Apple iPhone in the Philippines, offers the prepaid handset for over P40,000, approximately about $800. That’s way too expensive for me. I’m just a regular guy and my income isn’t that high either.

2. FM Radio

Since I love music, 5800 has a built-in FM Radio feature on and iPhone doesn’t.

3. Web Browser

I know, both of the phones do have browsers in it, but the problem is, iPhone doesn’t have Flash built-in. So you have to buy an application for it since it’s a 3rd party app, and it is expensive. 5800′s webkit based browser supports Flash Lite, so it’s possible to browse on webpages that are Flash enabled.

4. Storage

iPhone only comes with two options, 8GB and 16GB internal memory. 5800 is more flexible when it comes to storage. You can choose between 8GB and 16GB Micro SD cards.

5. Resolution

iPhone’s resolution is 480 x 320, while 5800′s is 640 x 360.

6. Battery

This is what disappoints me most on iPhone. Its battery isn’t removable. If the battery’s dead, you have to ship it to Apple for replacement, and that costs money, plus the replacement battery.

7. Camera

I love photography and taking videos, so camera is kinda important to me on my phones. iPhone has a camera too but only has 1 camera, 2 Mega Pixels, no zoom and no flash. 5800 has 3.2 Mega Pixel camera, 3x digital zoom with Carl Zeiss lens and a 2nd camera available in front for video calling.

That sums it up. There’s many things that I love on my 5800 that iPhone doesn’t have. But the most important is, the price. Hehehe.

Beware of this new Trojan that spreads through the internet. It exposes a 0day vulnerability on Microsoft Internet Explorer (CVE-2010-0249) which steals information on corporate networks. It allows remote code execution on infected machines.

What’s 0day?
Well basically it’s a security hole that is discovered by geeks or hackers that there is no available fix or update yet.

Microsoft rated it as Critical and they have already issued a fix on this Trojan. Affected versions are Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, 6, 7 and even Microsoft IE 8. You can view the full list of affected Microsoft Internet Explorers here and also download their updates/fixes on the issue.

If you are using Microsoft IE to browse the web, I suggest you update it before everything else is too late. Or, use an open-source browser like Mozilla Firefox or use Google Chrome. There’s a bunch of free web browsers floating on the web, you just have to choose one. But I suggest those to I’ve just mentioned above, or better yet, update your anti-virus virus databases.

Did you ever wanted to call your friend through Skype-to-Skype using your WiFi enabled phone? Cool eh? Yeah it is!

I’ve been searching for some apps which I can use on my N80 phone, and then I thought “is there any Skype application out there? It would be cool if I use my phone to call a PC through Skype”. Then I searched for it, and found Fring!

Now what is Fring? Fring is an internet community and communication service using mobile phones to share experience, connect friends and enhance their community together.

Second step: Choose how would you like to download the app, via SMS, WAP or PC.

Step 3: If you chose to download it via PC and upload the app later to your handset via data cable or something.

Step 4: Now choose what handset brand and model you have for it to be compatible for you and click submit.

We all know that finding the best, cheapest or whatever your needs may have on a web host is pretty tiring and confusing. Reviewing all hosts that you feel like gives you the best for web host needs and comparing them to each other makes it stressful. I found this site that does all these for us.

Web Hosting Rating is a site that reviews, rates and awards webhosting companies for you. And I tell you, they review the companies fairly and truly.

The top 10 best hosting providers is very cool, and has detailed information about the reviewed webhosting company. From best rated host, to the cheapest host are listed there, and every rated host has their reviews on it. Not just their own review on the host, but also user reviews are listed there, people who already used that particular webhost has their own comments and reviews to the host. And they also have articles related to webhosts. Like for example, Managed vs. Unmanaged VPS, How to add FTP accounts using cPanel and many more!

Now, if you are looking for webhost that suites your needs, visit Web Hosting Rating and you’ll surely find the best webhosting that suites you. I guarantee you that. I’m even amazed of what they offer, all the information and stuff, it’s so great!
