Why Inverted Smileys Make Some People Flip (-: Haha [VIDEO]

-
So a new study reveals that emoticons are actually changing human brains.

In this video, it has been studied that unlike Smiley's, we know see :-)  as a new language.

Our brains treat it as a written language to decode.

Smileys are a different story since we humans have always accustomed to seeing faces in things as part of our evolutionary trait like seeing faces of divine subjects on clothing's or sandwiches.

Although we recognize :-) as a human face smiling, our brain is reacting to it differently.

This is very reason why some people flip out when they receive an inverted smiley like this one (-: or this (:

How about you do you find the inverted smiley weird too?

How often do you use emoticons or emojis on your messages?

Using The New MacBook Pro 2018 in the Philippines With Updated Keyboard, Yes It Is A Cover Up

-
Image
It is actually an attempt to patch the problems found in the butterfly mechanism of the keys of the last generations of MacBook.

Despite the rumors circulated in recent months, Apple has managed to displace public and professionals thanks to the sudden launch of the new MacBook Pro 13 "and 15".

Many news under the hood but one in particular has not gone unnoticed by the owners of one of the previous models.

We refer to the keyboard, whose innovative butterfly mechanism introduced from 2015 had recently ended up in the eye of the storm due to numerous problems occurring in the medium term, including threats of class action and calls for assistance.

Called quieter by Apple, the keyboard of the new MacBooks actually hides a not particularly sophisticated attempt to at least dampen the problems encountered in the recent past.

As shown by iFixit in their video, it is a thin layer of silicone that wraps the butterfly mechanism, which has the consequence of making the button quie…

The new turbodiesel 1.6 engines and the tablet-type infotainment screen are also coming

The success on the market has seen the rise of the Hyundai Tucson since its debut when it has taken the place of the already successful iX35.

Apparently the SUV mania was already taken four years ago and the Korean C-SUV has known how to ride it.

But now half-generation and after more than 55 thousand copies sold in other markets, it is time to redo the trick, both from the aesthetic point of view and especially from the motorist taking advantage of the entry of Euro6 dTemp, in fact three new engines diesel: a 1.6 l 115 and 135 V and a 2.0 l 185 bhp that uses the new mild hybrid technology .

As mentioned aesthetically, some strategic highlights are evident especially in the front where LED lights and the Cascading Grille arrive, the identity mark of the Hyundai SUV family, the new bumpers and the new tailgate on the back and the lights that have been slightly restyled.

New body colors and new desi…

Review of the Dell XPS 15 2in1 2018 Model 9575 - The Good Versus The Bad

-
Image
If the words "15-inch 360 ° rotating convertibles" do not scare you, the new Dell XPS 15 9575 is bread for your teeth. Difficult to find better in this range, but you really have to want that rotating screen.

The XPS 15 2in1 has much in common with the non-convertible version. The design is basically that, as are the materials. Metal above, metal underneath, carbon fiber in the middle (always greedy for fingerprints). Change obviously the zipper and all that accompanies it, and from this point of view Dell has done a great job. The screen remains in fact in the position where you put it, almost like non-rotating solutions. Of course, something like this should be evaluated after months and months of rotations, but we want to give confidence to the skill of Dell.

On the side we find a pair of Type-C connectors on each side, accompanied by the inevitable charge LEDs (it would not be time to send them to retirement) and a microSD reader . Dell therefore chooses "modernity…

Review of the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 in the Philippines, Priced Php 2,600

-
Image
It's been two years since Xiaomi launched its previous Mi Band on the market and for this reason the wait for the most talked-about smartband on the web had grown out of all proportion. Today we give you my opinion on the Xiaomi Mi Band 3.

There is nothing new in the package. Only the rubber bracelet and the accessory to charge the Mi Band. Perhaps we ask too much but considering the price of  replacement straps, perhaps a second colored bracelet in tribute would not be bad.

Overall, the design does not change much compared to the previous model and this is also a recognizable Mi Band from a first glance. But there are various details that demonstrate the work of Xiaomi on the product. The strap and the hook seem more robust and even the "capsule" of the Mi Band remains attached even better to the bracelet. Even the body of the product is larger, both to accommodate a larger display, but also for the presence of a more protruding heartbeat sensor. Needless to deny that …

Review of Pillows Hotel Cebu City Philippines Clean But Has Disadvantages

-
Image
The Pillows Hotel Cebu City is a new hotel, large and comfortable rooms, as well as the beds. Staff very kind, although not very informed on the excursions offered by the city and the island. Very close to the "Fuente" roundabout where the main city arteries wind up and Mango Square, where most of the city center's clubs are located. The breakfast (convertible into lunch or dinner if you prefer ed) is served from 06:00 and is of good quality.

This is the best so I expected! I ended up staying there 5 nights until I had to leave home. Most of the staff are very friendly and go out of their way to help you and give you good service. The rooms are big, the best wifi I've had in the Philippines, comfortable beds, amazing cushions and water jets in the shower. In total a clear 5 of 5 for me. Two minor things that could make it even better would be to install electrical outlets near a mirror. If you use a hair dryer you can see yourself in a mirror while fixing your hair.…
