From Windows to Mac OS X Desktop

I read a meme of carlotta asking her readers to show their cluttered desktops. Here's the desktop of my notebook at home and you'd be surprised I have such a clean one.

notice also that it my look like a cool Mac but it's actually a Windows XP one running Fly a Kite that transformed Windows to the look and feel of Mac OS X



I love the interface of Macs and I can't wait for the time when my office notebook will turn three years old; a time when I can request for a replacement and this time, I'm targetting a Mac :)

My desktop is not cluttered since I'm practicing something called "clean desktop policy" even at home which is a best practice of information security

Cheap, Unlimited Calls to the Philippines

I got an email, blasted like spam to one of my email distribution list, advertising unlimited calls to the Philippines from the USA

Judging from the way explained here, you need to dial a local number in the US then you need a Sun Cellular number in the Philippines. It seems the US number would be connected to the Internet convert it to VoIP then to the Sun phone of the operator then finally to the Sun mobile phone of the called party.

VoIP is free of charge since calls do not pass through an international gateway (e.g. PLDT, Globe, Bayantel) while a Sun-to-Sun call is also free except the monthly fee of P350 (I used to have this feature)

This scheme is like an ISR: International Simple Resail, challenged by the powerhouse telcos but now junked by the Supreme Court
