Turn Your Reciepts Into​ Cash

Shopping triggers two emotional responses: gratification and remorse. Most of the time we feel gratified from purchasing items we’ve long pined for. Conversely, when we end up spending more than we should, it’s the latter that takes hold. Shopping is great, and we shouldn’t feel guilty about buying things as long as it’s within our allowed spending budget. To rid you of the guilt of shopping, Snapcart found a way to incentivize shoppers through its app. Here’s how.

2016 Mitsubishi Lancer EX GT-A 2.0 CVT

This is it: the last Lancer. Mitsubishi confirmed earlier this year that it will discontinue the production of vehicles under the Lancer name except in Taiwan and China.This means that the 2016 Lancer EX GT-A 2.0 CVT will be the lineage’s swan song—the last descendant of a family of cars that to us Filipinos was almost synonymous with the Mitsubishi brand.We got to test it out before it fully goes out of production, leaving the Mirage to represent Mistubishi’s sedan range on its own. We take a look at whether the most recent GT-A serves as a fitting farewell to such a beloved and iconic name.

Epson Moverio BT-300

Google Glass failed to take off at the time of its release— the world wasn’t ready just yet for AR. It was raw; consumers didn’t want it, nor did businesses. Now, we find ourselves in the year of successful released AR/VR technologies. Slowly transitioning to adoptions of such, we take a look at how Epson is pushing for a technology where even Google once failed.

Suzuki Philippines, together with various clubs and Suzuki enthusiasts set the new Guinness world record for the largest road safety lesson ever held last February 26 at the 2017 Raider Summit at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

Horizon Zero Dawn

Sandbox games have been a thing for a few years now, and it’s pretty great. The freedom to do all sorts of things in a fantasy/sci-fi/realist fiction world opens so many doors, and so many opportunities to show the title off. Horizon Zero Dawn is one such title. Gorgeous, expansive, and involving, this title is one we’ve been waiting for for a while. We got our eager little hands on it, and here’s what we think.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands

The Ghost Recon series has been a popular franchise since the turn of the millennium, mixing military action, political intrigue, and alternative history, much like the novels of Tom Clancy, whose name is attached to the franchise. Different installments in the franchise include settings such as the Cold War and other alternative history settings where extremists have taken control of certain areas around the world. Jack Ryan, a fictional CIA agent in many of these stories, has to stop them from carrying out their plans. Several of Clancy’s other works have also become video games, such as Rainbow Six, The Division, and the Splinter Cell series.

Tobu Sakura Matsuri 2017:1 : Sakura-Viewing Made Easy

If there’s one thing we’re sure is present in every scenic traveler’s must see list, it would have to be the blooming of cherry trees in Japan. This sight to behold occurs in spring and is undoubtedly beautiful, more so when the petals begin to fall like snow to litter Japan’s roads.

Gasoline

Gasoline, or petrol, has powered vehicles all throughout history. While gasoline has had a profound effect on our society, it has also helped us move more quickly between two points. Today however, hybrids are becoming more and more popular, as well as the introduction of ethanol into gasoline to make it more environmentally friendly. But how did gasoline become the fuel of choice for vehicles?

The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) together with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) recently organized the first i-CiTY (intelligent city) Summit in the Philippines.

SAKAY.PH

The easiest way to get around the metro is by taking public transportation. If you are a direction noob, however, navigating the winding streets of Metro Manila can be as dreadful as losing your way in a non-English-speaking country, without internet connection. Good news! The heavens have heard the woes of people with no sense of direction and has brought upon this Earth the app Sakay.ph.

Ca Phe Saigon

Over the years, Marikina has become a surprise in the local food scene, with good restaurants opening up sporadically across the mostly suburban city. One such establishment is Ca Phe Saigon in the San Roque neighborhood, just a stone’s throw away from the R-6 Marikina–Infanta Highway.

LG K10 2017

There’s a common trend in smartphones today: a unibody design. But to achieve this, manufacturers have let go of this one feature that makes smartphones appear bulky, which is removable batteries. This feature, however, is favored by many as you can just swap out a dead battery instead of buying a new handset. Meanwhile, LG found a way to make their newest batch of K smartphones appear slim without removing this essential feature.

Iphone 8 Rumour Roundup

Last year, we saw the iPhone 7. And although many were looking forward to a new design and impressive new features, Apple released a phone with a nearly identical two-year-old design, an OS that still looked the same, and airpods in lieu of the 3.5mm headphone jack. It seemed like a minor “S” upgrade; many were disappointed, while some brand loyalists, rejoiced. This year, we’re looking at the release of Apple’s 10th anniversary iPhone. With just months of the expected release, there’s plenty to speculate about, and a lot to actually look forward to. Here, we have a rumor roundup.

Destination:Omaha,Nebraska

Of all the cities in continental USA, Omaha, Nebraska would probably be the last place anyone from outside of the United States would ever think of visiting as a tourist. If my sister and her family did not live there, it probably wouldn't be in my map either. But of the few US cities I've visited so far, including New York City, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, Omaha has become one of my favorite stops in the USA.

Synology DiskStation DS1517+

It’s pretty hard to get someone excited over a box (unlike what Action Jack Barker from Silicon Valley will have you think); but Synology managed to do so with the DS1517+.

Sony Xperia XA1

The XA1 brings back the “ol’ reliable” feel reminiscent of its Walkman phones of old, with a solid build, a better-than-most camera and great audio.

Transcend Drivepro Body 20

If a picture paints a thousand words, then Full HD video at 30 FPS should paint 1,800,000 words per minute. In a world where criminal elements come in all shapes, forms, and attire, it wouldn’t hurt to have some video evidence to back your story up. Meant primarily for security and police personnel, the Transcend Drivepro Body 20 is a body camera that’s meant to be kept on your person, recording at all times, just in case.

Oh Boy: James Reid

Charisma may not be his middle name, but James Reid oozes charm enough to launch a thousand ships. The last statement maybe an exaggeration, but this Fil-Aussie is a crowd favorite and there’s no questioning it. He can dance, sing, act, and model; he ticks all the right boxes of what would propel one into stardom and he has rightfully assumed that place at the top.

ASUS ZenFone 4

ASUS has been pegged as a manufacturer of smartphones with great specs and excellent photo-taking capabilities. It is also known for its great value for money. With the launch of the ZenFone 4, ASUS went a different route and decided to give their latest flagship model a price bump. Let’s see if the price increase is warranted for the device.

Teenage Engineering Po-32 Tonic

Swedish electronics company Teenage Engineering (stylized teenage engineering) brings yet another edition of its quirky Pocket Operator drum synthesizer series to the world--the PO-32 Tonic--with the award-winning manufacturer claiming that it is their best one yet. I got my hands on one to see if there is truth to this rare outburst of Scandinavian pride.

Vivo V7+

Vivo’s latest offering, the V7+ proves to the world that an all-screen display doesn’t have to come with a huge price tag. But beyond the screen, I got the chance to take a closer look at what it has to offer in an already saturated smartphone market.
