Browser change....

Ever since Netscape Navigator died, (it is dead, isn't it?) I had been a regular user, albeit grudgingly, of Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Now several years later, Internet Explorer has become a monster, a huge program stuffed with megabytes of fixes and patches, yet still vulnerable to attacks from spyware, ActiveX controls, etc. Recently I just discovered a worthy replacement, a browser with it's roots somewhat related to the old Netscape Navigator. It's secure, stable, fast and lean (only less than a 5MB download), with the Google search engine built right in the browser. It's called Mozilla Firefox, and I've been using it with hardly any problems for the past few days now. If you want an alternative to Internet Explorer, it doesn't get much better than this.

Is aspartame safe?

Image
Do you know what aspartame is? Well, even if you don't, given its ubiquitous nature, its a virtual certainty that you have already crossed paths with it in your life at one time or another. For the uninitiated, aspartame is a low-calorie sugar substitute most often used in carbonated beverages, you know, the diet or lite variety. Here in the Philippines, it is commonly known by the brand names NutraSweet and Equal . The reason why it has significantly fewer calories is because its not carbohydrate based. Its a methyl (methane derivative) ester (organic compound) dipeptide (two amino acids joined by a single peptide bond) consisting of aspartic acid as the first amino acid, and phenylalanine as the second. Its about 180 times sweeter than typical table sugar, and as such, a little goes a long way. A single pellet of Equal (18 mg of aspartame) has about the same sweetening strength as a teaspoon of ordinary white sugar (about 5 ml). Do the math. It was first discovered in 19

It's a device that is claimed to drastically reduce the fuel consumption of your gasoline driven vehicle by as much as 50%. It created such a hype when it was introduced in November 2003 after glowing reviews and endorsements from, among others, the Department of Energy (DOE), the Makati Land Transportation Office (LTO) and Taiwan’s Automotive Research and Testing Center. Even Malacañang got into the picture, and presented the inventor, Pablo Planas, with a Presidential Award Medal for Outstanding Invention. All in all, various government agencies and government officials got into the picture, singing the praises of a device that miraculously reduces fuel consumption by a significant margin. As a result, in less than a year, more than 3,500 units were sold and installed to customers who swear by the product's effe
