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?

Huawei Freebuds in the Philippines Priced at Php3600

-
Image
Together with the family of P20 smartphones, this year Huawei launched itself in the field of full wireless headphones and presented its Huawei FreeBuds . These earphones are shamelessly inspired by Apple's AirPods for design and functionality and, if there were no AirPods, these FreeBuds would have made a miracle cry for some aspects of the user experience.

But the AirPods are there (as are the Gear Icon X 2018): the wow effect is reduced , what is left of these headphones?

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 …

Driving Hyundai Tucson 2019 in the Philippines is More About The Looks

-
Image
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…

Top 5 Best Cheap Low End, Locally Branded Smartphone Brands In The Philippines

-
Image
Here are my Top 5 (1) Starmobile, (2) Cherry Mobile, (3) MyPhone, (4)Torque, and (5) Alcatel and SKK Mobile

Starmobile - has the most neatly and decently designed cheaper phones out there. Their latest the Knight is unbelievably fast, looks good. Content-wise, they hook up with local providers like Inquirer and KristN. Plus, they only need one celebrity to do the endorsing (Vice Ganda), which means they do have plenty of cha-ching for marketing.

Cherry Mobile - does equally good with Starmobile although we hear more hardware complaints about their units. But they spend well on advertising and promotions and boy do they have powerhouse endorsers (John Lloyd Cruz, Sarah Geronimo, Anne Curtis, Kim Chiu). Their Cosmos line up are impressive for a low end market. Although, I haven't liked a single good-looking Cherry Mobile phone, because they are either Samsung or so China-made looking.

MyPhone - the brand is so "masa", nothing wrong with that though, the nationalistic branding…

All New Nissan Livina Review

-
Image
Following the trend of the current car that is slanted in the front. Nissan did not want to be left behind by launching a narrow-style Xpander car which was given the name of the All New Nissan Livina.

As one of the largest manufacturers in Indonesia, whose existence has recently been eroded by the presence of a Chinese manufacturer named Wuling. Nissan also launched a new product that could be a talisman to remain perched on the order of the top 5 best-selling manufacturer in Indonesia.

It's not half-hearted indeed, which was done by Nissan. He also launched the All New Nissan Livina. Cars that will be expected to become the backbone of Nissan to compete in the market share of Low Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV). By using the Xpander base, which lately began to destabilize the dominance of a million people, aka Avanza, Nissan seemed to have high hopes: that Xpander would live in Livina too.

In a political year like this, there are a lot of cars that are transformed as branding cars .…

What Causes Problem with Firefly Fluorescent Lamp Making Crackling Buzzing Noise When I Turn On Switch

-
Image
Question: I recently installed a fluorescent lamp made by a company called Firefly just a week ago and today when I turn on the switch the lamp makes this buzzing and crackling noise, the lamp still lights up though, but there is a slight flicker and the buzzing and crackling noise is persistent it never goes away. What is the problem?

Answer: There are a few possible causes for this.

1.) It could be lose connection between the end tip of the lamp and the socket, it needs to be screwed all the way through until you can no longer turn it around.

Just remove and reinstall the lamp and try it again if it still makes the sound.

2.) It could be that the lamp is defective. If it has warranty you can have it replaced from the store which you bought it from.

3.) There could be a problem with the lamp socket, you can have it checked by an electrician and have it replaced if need be.

Usually there is a fear that lamp will blow up, however in most cases it will not.

Guide to know which Amazon Smart Speaker Should You Choose

-
Image
With the arrival of Amazon Echo Input, the Amazon Echo product line, that is Amazon's domestic voice assistants, has become even more complete and we decided to take this opportunity to create a guide to buying products with Alexa all ' indoor.

The novelty of this 2019 is the new Amazon Echo Input , which is the "base" from which we start when we talk about wanting to include Alexa in her home. It is a small round disk that reminds a bit of a polished stone to be bounced on the water. It is the only one equipped with a microUSB port for charging (the others all have a proprietary connector) and on the top there are 4 microphones for recognition and no volume keys.

This is because Amazon Echo Input does not have a speaker and to be used must therefore necessarily be connected via audio jack (supplied) or Bluetooth, to a speaker of any kind. Buy this product to connect it to a cheap bluetooth speaker, but perhaps it is not very sensible. It is much more if you have a…
