Ayon sa isang press release, ang Megalink ay gagamit na ng mas makabagong application para mas gumanda pa lalo ang kanilang serbisyo sa mga gumagamit ng kanilang ATM network.
Ito ay ang iSwitch mula sa kumpanyang Interblocks. Ayon kay Benjamin P. Castillo, President at CEO ng MegaLink, sila ay lilipat sa iSwitch dahil hahayaan ng bagong sistema na ito na sila ay maging maagap sa pagbibigay ng mas madami pang delivery channels, bagong mga koneksiyon at mga makabagong produkto, at mas maayos na operasyon na hindi kakayanin ng kanilang dating sistema. Ito ay magaganap na sa 2010.
Nakakatuwang isipin na ang 2010 din ang magiging ika 20 taong anibersaryo ng MegaLink. Naalala ko noon kung gaanong kahirap na makahanap ng paraan na makakuha ng pera pag nagsara na ang banko. Pero sa pagkakaroon ng ATM machines na siya ring kumalat at ngayon ay halos wala ng lugar kung saan hindi ka makakakita ng ATM machine ay napakadali nang magbanking kahit na saan at kahit na anumang oras.
Magandang balita ito para sa ating mga gumagamit ng MegaLink. Happy Anniversary sa MegaLink sa kanilang ika-20 na taon.
Heto ang mga detalye ng upgrade halaw mula sa press release:
MegaLink taps Interblocks for new core switch application
MegaLink, the pioneer in shared ATM services, is moving to an improved switch solution called iSwitch from Interblocks, a leading provider of integrated, electronic payment processing solutions for banks and financial institutions.
MegaLink will avail of the wide variety of features on Interblocks’ iSwitch application to provide both basic transaction processes and value-added services. The project is targeted for completion early next year, as MegaLink will mark 20 years in 2010 with an array of new services.
“MegaLink decided to migrate to iSwitch as the system will provide us with the agility to provide additional delivery channels, new connections and innovative products as well as operational enhancements not readily available in our old system,” said Benjamin P. Castillo, MegaLink President and CEO.
Aside from regular shared ATM services, MegaLink will provide ATM switch outsourcing services, where banks and non-banks can perform ATM switch services without acquiring their own system and equipment. This will allow more banks, and even non-banks to operate at significantly lower costs through a MegaLink-provided switch.
MegaLink will also introduce airtime loading services through ATMs in a recently announced partnership with SMART Communications and Globe Telecoms. Mobile phone users of either network operator will be able to do airtime loads via MegaLink ATMs.
“By the end of the first quarter of 2010, MegaLink through its new switch will migrate to the enhanced Mobile Banking System of SMART. With the enhanced Mobile Banking Engine, we can also connect existing MegaLink members who have yet to avail of the facility.
Subsequently, MegaLink will also provide our members with facilities to issue pre-paid cards through iSwitch, offer cross-border ATM transactions, and much, much more,” added Castillo.
iSwitch is among Interblocks’ leading solution offerings for driving financial transactions across the widest variety of customer touch points.. The company has a broad range of solutions in service delivery, payments, cards, virtual banking and mobile commerce. It has some 250 projects completed across 11 countries.
When iSwitch is implemented, MegaLink also expects to handle larger volumes of transactions at a higher efficiency. MegaLink currently has a network of 19 members covering nearly 9.8 million cardholders and more than 2,500 ATM terminals.

MALAYBALAY TUMAGGAP NG AWARD
Ang gobyernong panglokal ng Malaybalay sa Bukidnon ay naging isa sa labing apat na napili na magawaran ng parangal na Galing Pook 2009 mula sa Galing Pook Foundation.
Ang Galing Pook Foundation ay parte ng isang global network ng mga awards para sa lokal na namamahala kasama ang US, Mexico, China, East Africa, South Africa at South America. Kadalasan ay sampu lang ang napipiling programa na siyang nagagawaran pero ayon sa National Selection Committee chair Prof. Solita Monsod, and 2009 ay naging isang kapitapitagang taon para sa mabuting pamamahala.
Dahil sa Malaybalay Integrated Survey System o M.I.S.S. ay napili ang pamahalaang panglungsod ng Malaybalay. Ito lang ang nagiisa sa lahat ng nagawaran na may kinalaman sa information technology o I.T. Ginamit nito ang I.T. bilang isang epektibong kagamitan sa community development at action planning.
Ang Planning and Development Office ng Malaybalay ang siyang may gawa ng M.I.S.S. para maisaayos ang mga hindi pagkakatugma sa pangangalap ng datos at sa mga panglungsod na survey. Ito ay ginaya mula sa Community Based Monitoring System ng Department of Local Government. Ang survey ay may 231 na katanungan na sakop ang lahat ng pangangailangan sa impormasyon ng iba't ibang departamento.
Ang data processing program na ito ay dinevelop ng in-house programmers ng panglungsod na pamahalaan. Halos 420 Barangay Health Workers (BHW) at mga komadrona ang inatasan na matutunan ang data processing program at gumamit ng mga computer na ikinalat sa 46 na barangay. Halos 98% ng mga BHW ang hindi marunong gumamit ng computer nung nagsimula ang programa pero madali naman silang natuto.
Inako ng lokal na gobyerno ang kanilang pagsasanay, tirahan at mga pangangailangan habang ang barangay ang siyang kumalinga sa kanilang transportasyon.
Kasama sa survey ang lahat ng residente ng siyudad, para makakuha ng basic demographics at profiles ng mga kabahayan. Ang data na nakuha sa survey ay nakatulong para makagawa ng development plans para sa 46 na barangay. Nagbigay ang survey ng mas maayos na lagay ng mga taga lungsod at ng kanilang mga pangangailangan na siyang naging batayan ng development at action planning.
Ang M.I.S.S. program ay gender-responsive. Ibig sabihin ay ang planning at budgeting process ay naging mas gender fair o mas sensitibo sa pangangailangn ng mga kababaihan, sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaroon ng mga programa at kaganapan na magpapaganda ng estado ng mga kababaihan sa mga pook.
Lima sa mga nagawaran ay mula sa Mindanao, dalawa mula sa Visayas at pito mula sa Luzon. Ang mga nanalong programa ay iba't iba, mula environmental management, health services, peace and conflict resolution at social services. Mula barangay, municipalidad, lungsod at probinsiya, ang bawat isa ay masugid na pinagaralan para sa innovation, positive results, transferability at sustainability, people’s participation, at efficiency.
“We have often heard of aspirations for more excellence in local governments. We wished not just for islands but for an entire archipelago of good governance. This year’s awardees are a proud addition to our growing contingent of outstanding LGUs,” sabi ni Rafael Coscolluela, Galing Pook Foundation chairperson.
Ang ibang Galing Pook 2009 awardees ay ang Barangay Luz, Cebu City; Sarangani Province; Marikina City; Taguig City; Midsayap, Cotabato; Quezon City; Bayawan City; Surallah, South Cotabato; Makati City; Barangay Barobo, Valencia City; Tabuk, Kalinga; Bulacan Province; and Paranaque City.
Ang Galing Pook awarding ceremony para sa mga kapitapitagan na LGUs na ito ay gaganapin sa Malacañan Palace sa December 3, 2009.

FACEBOOK DUROG SA CHINA
Ayon sa isang report mula kay Loretta Chao ng WSJ, ang minamahal na Social Networking Site ng working class ng Pilipinas, ang Facebook, ay nauutas ang mga manggagamit mula sa China dahil sa mga batas at patakaran ng gobyerno nito laban ukol sa paggamit sa internet.
Eto ang report mula sa Media Connect Asia:
Facebook fights for survival in China By Eduardo Sioson Oct 27, 2009
Loretta Chao for WSJ reported on the looming demise of Facebook in China, country with the most number of Internet users.
According to the report, data taken from Inside Facebook, the social networking site’s latest statistics reveals that from one million users in July, the remaining active users of the social networking site beginning October dropped to only 14,000. This is due to the fact that the Chinese government is strict on giving licenses to foreign Internet companies. Aside from that, Chinese censors are keen on filtering out unhealthy contents, which can be considered illegal in the country such as pornography and politically sensitive contents.
Not too long ago, there have been reports that Internet users can no longer access Facebook like what had happened to Google’s YouTube.
However, many Facebook users are still looking for ways of connecting to Facebook. Some have expressed disapproval to the government’s action, hoping that the web site would be unblocked but to no avail yet, the article said.

Revenge of the OS
Aug 26, 2009
Recent reviews and user reports have accused Windows 7 of cutting almost a third off the battery life of some netbooks shipping today with Windows XP.
In its blog, Laptop magazine reported that during a recent test, a Toshiba netbook lost 2.5 hours of battery life when running Windows 7 instead of XP, or about 30 percent (6:53 for Windows 7 vs 9:24 for XP).
Website Tom's Hardware found last month that an Acer Aspire One netbook running Windows 7's release candidate lasted 2.5 hours less than when it ran Windows XP SP3 (5:54 vs 8:28 when both were at a low power idle state). Complaints have also surfaced on netbook user forums such as eeeuser.com, AspireOneUser.com and MSIWind.net. The complaints follow gripes that Windows 7 hastens the vampire-like battery drain of running Windows on MacBooks, either in virtualisation or via Boot Camp.

SPREAD THE SMILES KASAMA ANG SONY ERICSSON PARA SA UNICEF
Sa mga susunod na Linggo ay pipilitin ng Sony Ericsson Philippines na makakuha ng isang milyong ngiti sa kanilang Spread the Smiles Program. Sa kada ngiti na kanilang makukuha ay magaalay sila ng piso sa UNICEF na siya namang gagamitin para tulungan ang pagpapalawig ng edukasyon ng mga batang Pilipino.
Maaring mag donate ng smile sa mga Sony Ericsson Experience Shops sa Mall at sa mga itatayo na Smile Booths sa mga piling SM Malls. Maaring magdagdag ng donasyon na bente pesos para makakuha ka ng larawan ng donasyon mo na smile mula sa Digiprint. Maliban doon ay malalagay din ang larawan mo sa Smile Wall, at bibigyan ka ng isang raffle ticket para sa pagkakataong mapanalunan ang isang bagong Sony Ericsson C510 Cyber-shot cellphone.
Ang habol ng Sony Ericsson ay ang makakuha ng isang milyong ngiti para makapagbigay sila ng isang milyon sa UNICEF bago mag Hunyo 30, 2009.
Kinuha ng Sony Ericsson si Sarah Geronimo bilang Sony Ericsson Smile Ambassador. Isang special edition na C510 na kukulayan ng "Energetic Red" at lalagyan ng content mula kay Sarah ang ilalabas bilang "the Sarah phone."
Gagamitin ang mga bagong labas na Cyber-shot cellphones ng Sony Ericsson na may Smile Shutter technology sa pagkuha ng mga smile donations. Ang Smile Shutter technology ay automatikong kumukuha ng picture pag nakakakita ng smile. Kaya kailangan lang gawin ay itapat ang Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot cellphone sa kukuhanan at pag ngiti niya ay "click" kuha na ang picture. Galing diba?
Ang mga bagong cellphone na may Smile Shutter technology ay ang Sony Ericsson C510 na siyang nasabing best 3 Megapixel camera phone ayon sa research ng TESTfactory sa Alemanya.
Ang Sony Ericsson C905, ang 8.1 Megapixel camera na nanalo ng gintong premyo sa Best Camera Phone na kategorya sa CNET Asia Readers Choice Awards.
Ang Sony Ericsson C903, ang 5 Megapixel camera na may 16X zoom na may aGPS (Global Positioning System). Ang GPS ay isang teknolohiya na gumagamit ng mga signal na mula sa 16 na satellite sa kalawakan na maaring gamitin ng isang gadget para malaman mo eksakto kung nasaan ka kahit saan sa mundo at gamitin ito para makapunta sa kahit saan pang ibang lugar sa mundo.
Ang mga branch ng Sony Ericsson Experience Shops na kasali sa Spread the Smile campaign ay ang: Cyberzone, SM City North EDSA; Cyberzone, SM Megamall; SM Mall of Asia; Robinsons Galleria; Robinsons' Place Ermita, Manila; Greenbelt 1, Makati; Digital Exchange, Glorietta 3; Trinoma Mall; Ayala Center, Cebu; Cyberzone, SM City Cebu; SM Pampanga, Angeles City; Gaisano Mall, Davao City; NCCC Mall, Davao City; Limketkai Mall, Cagayan de Oro City; SM Marikina; SM City, Bacolod; at SM City, Davao.
Ang mga Smile Booths sa SM Malls ay matatagpuan sa SM North EDSA (The Block) mula May 13 hanggang May 31; SM Mall of Asia mula May 14 hanggang May 27; SM Megamall (Building A) mula May 15 hanggang May 31, SM Cebu mula June 2 hanggang June 7, SM Davao mula June 2 hanggang June 7; SM Iloilo mula June 2 hanggang June 7; SM Pampanga mula June 9 hanggang June 15; SM Baguio mula June 9 hanggang June 15; at SM Manila mula June 9 hanggang June 15.
Sa May 18 ay maari nang magdonate sa Spread the Smiles online sa www.sonyericsson.com/spreadthesmiles/ pag naging registered user ka na ay maari kang manalo din ng Sony Ericsson C510 na Cyber-shot phone pag ikaw ang nakapag donate ng pinakamaraming ngiti online.
Isang 50 piyeng dingding ang itatayo sa SM North EDSA Sky Garden Bridgeway na siyang maglalaman ng mga larawan na siyang makokolekta ng Spread the Smiles.
Ayon kay Patrick Larraga, Marketing Manager ng Sony Ericsson, "National Pride ang nakasalalay dito kasi nga ang Pilipinas ay natawag na 'Land of Smiles' at kailangang mapatunayan natin ito. Sana ay matulungan niyo kami na makaipon ng mga ngiti para makuha namin ang isang milyon na siya namang magiging donasyon sa UNICEF para sa kinabukasan ng mga batang Pilipino."
Nagbigay ng todo supporta sina Millie Dizon, Vice President ng Marketing Communications ng SM, at si Vanessa Tobin, Country Representative ng UNICEF sa project na ito ng Sony Ericsson.
Dapat nating tandaan na 42 porsiyento ng ating populasyon ay masasabing mga "bata" at nakakarimarim isipin na sa kada sampung bata na pumapasok sa mababang antas ng pagaaral ay anim lamang ang nakakatapos. Sa anim na ito na papasok sa mataas na antas ay apat lamang ang makakatapos. Kailangan nating pangalagaan ang edukasyon ng kabataan. Paano pa tayo magiging maka-tech na bayan kung ang napakaimportanteng bagay tulad ng edukasyon ay hindi natin bibigyan ng importansiya.
Sige na...punta na sa mall at magp-picture-picture na sa Sony Ericsson.

MGA BAGONG PHONES NG HTC
Nilabas kagabi ng HTC ang kanilang mga bagong cellphones, ang HTC Touch Diamond2 at ang HTC Touch Pro2. Ayon kay Mark Sergio, Country Manager ng HTC Philippines, and mga bagong unit nila ay lalabas sa katapusan ng Mayo para sa Diamond2 at sa kalagitnaan o katapusan ng Hunyo para sa Pro2.

Ang HTC Touch Diamond2
Ang HTC Touch Pro2 ay may tinatawag na Straight Talk function kung saan maaring makipag-conference call sa hanggang walong tao. Pero ayon sa pagsasaliksik nina Sergio sa tulong ng mga local cell phone service providers, hanggang lima ang siyang pinakanaayon.
Ang HTC Touch Diamond2 naman ay may Push Internet kung saan parang mayroon kang "butler" o utusan na siyang magda-download mula sa internet ng iyong mga gustong tingnan kahit na hindi mo na siya bantayan. Gamit ito ay maari mo siyang i-set na pumunta sa isang website halimbawa habang ikaw ay may ibang ginagawa.
Nabanggit din ni Sergio na kung ikukumpara sa First Quarter noong nakaraang taon ay lapas 100 porsiyento ang kinaganda ng kanilang kalakaran.

Heto ang kanilang release:
New HTC Touch Diamond2TM and HTC Touch Pro2TM Signal a New Wave in Communication
New phones simplify information access with HTC Push Internet and unify personal communication with single-view contact integration
Manila, Philippines – 12 May 2009 – HTC Corporation, a global designer of mobile phones, today unveiled two new flagship devices, the HTC Touch Diamond2 and HTC Touch Pro2. Integrating innovative simplicity with unique style and an intuitive interface, the new devices balance function, form and cutting-edge technology to personalize communication and mobile Internet experience.
"The HTC Touch Pro2 and HTC Touch Diamond2 introduce a mobile communication experience that simplifies how we communicate with people in our lives whether through voice, text, or email,” said Peter Chou, president and CEO, HTC Corp. “HTC is delivering the latest, cutting-edge sophistication in a broad portfolio of mobile phones that improve how people live, work and communicate."
HTC TouchFLO 3D Integrated With Windows Mobile
The HTC Touch Diamond2 and HTC Touch Pro2 utilize HTC’s latest TouchFLO 3D interface. TouchFLO 3D has been more deeply integrated into a customized version of Windows Mobile 6.1 to deliver more consistency throughout Windows Mobile applications and menus. Focused on making navigation easier and more intuitive, TouchFLO 3D brings important information to the top-level user interface, including quick access to people, messaging, email, photos, music and weather. As part of this improved Windows Mobile integration the touch focus areas have been enlarged to be more finger-touch friendly.
Bringing People Together
With the HTC Touch Diamond2 and HTC Touch Pro2, HTC is introducing a new people-centric communication approach, providing a single contact view that displays the individual conversation history of contacts regardless of whether voice, text or email were used. This can be viewed from the contact card or the in-call screen during a phone conversation, ensuring the latest communication contact-by-contact is always at hand.
Simplifying How People Access Their Information
Continuing its commitment to making the mobile Internet easier and more enjoyable, the HTC Touch Diamond2 and HTC Touch Pro2 introduce HTC’s Push Internet technology. HTC Push Internet alleviates slow downloading and rendering of Web pages on a mobile phone. Users can preselect their favorite Websites to get immediate access to them when needed.
HTC Touch Diamond2
The HTC Touch Diamond2 is the next step in the evolution of the successful HTC Touch Diamond. Crafted to fit perfectly into one’s hand, the Touch Diamond2 evolves the compact design and iconic style of the original HTC Touch Diamond. It incorporates a larger 3.2-inch high-resolution wide-screen VGA display for greater viewing area in a design just 13.7mm thick. The phone also includes a new touch sensitive zoom bar for even faster zooming of Web pages, emails, text messages, photos or documents.
Leveraging HTC’s TouchFLO 3D experience combined with a people-centric communication approach and HTC’s new Push Internet technology, the Touch Diamond2 offers an advanced touch experience that is optimized for one-hand use.
With 20% larger battery capacity, a five mega-pixel auto focus camera, expandable memory, gravity sensor and an ambient light sensor, the Touch Diamond2 brings the most sophisticated capabilities to a broad consumer audience looking for the professional benefits of a smartphone without sacrificing size, looks or functionality.
HTC Touch Pro2

Ang HTC Touch Diamond2
Ang HTC Touch Pro2 ay may tinatawag na Straight Talk function kung saan maaring makipag-conference call sa hanggang walong tao. Pero ayon sa pagsasaliksik nina Sergio sa tulong ng mga local cell phone service providers, hanggang lima ang siyang pinakanaayon.
Ang HTC Touch Diamond2 naman ay may Push Internet kung saan parang mayroon kang "butler" o utusan na siyang magda-download mula sa internet ng iyong mga gustong tingnan kahit na hindi mo na siya bantayan. Gamit ito ay maari mo siyang i-set na pumunta sa isang website halimbawa habang ikaw ay may ibang ginagawa.

Manila, Philippines – 12 May 2009 – HTC Corporation, a global designer of mobile phones, today unveiled two new flagship devices, the HTC Touch Diamond2 and HTC Touch Pro2. Integrating innovative simplicity with unique style and an intuitive interface, the new devices balance function, form and cutting-edge technology to personalize communication and mobile Internet experience.
"The HTC Touch Pro2 and HTC Touch Diamond2 introduce a mobile communication experience that simplifies how we communicate with people in our lives whether through voice, text, or email,” said Peter Chou, president and CEO, HTC Corp. “HTC is delivering the latest, cutting-edge sophistication in a broad portfolio of mobile phones that improve how people live, work and communicate."
HTC TouchFLO 3D Integrated With Windows Mobile
The HTC Touch Diamond2 and HTC Touch Pro2 utilize HTC’s latest TouchFLO 3D interface. TouchFLO 3D has been more deeply integrated into a customized version of Windows Mobile 6.1 to deliver more consistency throughout Windows Mobile applications and menus. Focused on making navigation easier and more intuitive, TouchFLO 3D brings important information to the top-level user interface, including quick access to people, messaging, email, photos, music and weather. As part of this improved Windows Mobile integration the touch focus areas have been enlarged to be more finger-touch friendly.
Bringing People Together
With the HTC Touch Diamond2 and HTC Touch Pro2, HTC is introducing a new people-centric communication approach, providing a single contact view that displays the individual conversation history of contacts regardless of whether voice, text or email were used. This can be viewed from the contact card or the in-call screen during a phone conversation, ensuring the latest communication contact-by-contact is always at hand.
Simplifying How People Access Their Information
Continuing its commitment to making the mobile Internet easier and more enjoyable, the HTC Touch Diamond2 and HTC Touch Pro2 introduce HTC’s Push Internet technology. HTC Push Internet alleviates slow downloading and rendering of Web pages on a mobile phone. Users can preselect their favorite Websites to get immediate access to them when needed.
