Seasons by Olivier Elzer

Seasons by Olivier Elzer was one fine restaurant we recently got to try in Hong Kong. It has just opened for a little more than a month but it is already busy with a lot of diners. Blame it on the fact that the head chef of the Michelin-rated L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Central […]

President Benigno S. Aquino officially signs the Philippine Lemon Law that basically gives people assurance that their newly-purchased vehicle meets the standards set by the manufacturer. It will take effect starting the end of this month.

This Philippine Lemon Law of 2014 “seeks to protect consumers in the sale of motor vehicles against sales and trade practices that are deceptive, unfair, or otherwise inimical to the consumers and the public interest.” The bill makes sure that cars have until the first 12 months or 20,000 kilometers (whichever comes first) that a warranty will be honored.

The DTI or Department of Trade and Industry also plays a huge role in this new law. It will act as a judge that will have the final say regarding the consumer’s complaints. If the complaint has been proven, it will “rule in favour of the consumer and order the car manufacturer, distributor, authorized dealer or retailer to either refund the purchase price of the vehicle or replace it with another model that is either the same or of similar value, plus collateral damages.”

On the other hand, if the complaint has been denied, DTI will demand the consumer to be the one to pay for the costs used for the process of verification.

The new law will be implemented on July 30, 2014 wherein all vehicles bought on this day will be qualified for the 1 year warranty.

Gionee to launch world’s thinnest phone at 0.2 inches

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

After we’ve listed the top phones that have the slimmest build and Gionee taking the top spot, the company plans to prove that it can even go thinner than its Elife S5.5. The upcoming phone, now known only as GN9005, is said to sport a 0.2-inch (or 5mm) thin form factor with a quad-core processor running inside it.

Gionee GN9005 alleged specs:
4.8-inch HD AMOLED display @ 1829 x 720 resolution
Quad-core processor
1GB RAM
16GB internal storage
8MP rear camera
5MP front camera
2050mAh battery

Having a slim smartphone definitely adds to the handling and looks of the device, but will the changes made to the size of the components be worth it to achieve a slimmer body? Based on the specs listed we might have a new midrange player in our hands soon.

We should be getting more information on it in the upcoming weeks. Until then, stay tuned and watch this space for future announcements.
