Palm has launched the much-anticipated Treo 800w with GPS and WIFI.
No surprises from Palm, this time. As usual, Palm tries to tweak this smartphone to make it easier to use, considering the difficult OS it uses. Nothing spectacular, really.

Good friend and fellow journalist Dana Batnag of Jiji Press has started blogging.
In her latest post, Dana focuses on the penchant of both government and media in (mis-)reporting raw information on the number of casualties in disasters and calamities, just like the gory aftermath of typhoon “Frank”:

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Wednesday (Tuesday in the US) announced the release of the 2007 human rights country reports.
Read her remarks here.
Why is this important to the Philippines? Well, US law requires the State Department to report to the US Congress on human rights adherence by countries receiving US aid, and that list includes the Philippines.
The report on the Philippines will be used as a guide by the US Congress on whether aid will be maintained, reduced or increased in the future.

This is it. It can no longer be stamped out. The broad movement to seek President Arroyo’s removal is on a roll. Imagine, 80,000 people marching and shouting “We want the truth!” and “Gloria resign!”
Just some small things that may have escaped media attention:
1. Two busloads of De La Salle-Dasmarinas students, faculty and administrators were blocked at Daang Hari along Coastal Road sometime past noon today by a certain Col. Quilinguen in a transparent effort to delay their trip to Makati City. Jhay Rocas texted me to say that they committed no traffic violation whatsoever and it appeared that they were just being harassed. They were let go after an hour.
2. Kudos to the thousands of Catholic students who came out in full force! Rivals Ateneo and La Salle were together in the streets! The Catholic schools easily mobilized what I estimate was a contingent of no less than 10,000 judgingby the long and seemingly endless queue of students in their uniforms, guided by nuns and priests and administrators.
3. Congratulations, too, to the Youth Act Now! student coalition which led its own contingents from UP, PUP, UST, FEU, TIP and other universities, colleges and even high schools.
