Microsoft Windows 8/8.1 users will receive free Windows 9 upgrade

Microsoft Indonesia has reportedly confirmed that the upcoming Microsoft Windows 9 operating system will be a free upgrade for current Windows 8 and 8.1 users. The company is expected to host an event on September 30 to detail Windows 9, where pricing and release information should be revealed.

Although Windows 8/8.1 provides significant security updates and a "modernized" interface, many users refused to upgrade to the touch-centric OS. Microsoft has accelerated its operating system road map to meet changing consumer and business user demands, and Windows 9 should help gauge where the company stands.

It's also worth noting that as users become familiar with major software updates, such as Apple iOS or OS X and Google Android, for example, the updates are available for free. This is a great opportunity for Microsoft to prove it has listened to users and is prepared to make changes for the future.

Ramon Tulfo, Jr., a TV host, radio broadcaster and a columnist, wrote a letter addressed to Duterte entitled: 


"I'm willing to be shot by Duterte!"
by Ramon Tulfo

"We need Duterte in Malacañang to save this country from further going to the dogs.

We need a leader who can discipline the entire Philippine National Police (PNP) just as he instilled discipline in the ranks of Davao City policemen.

We need a leader who would put fear in the hearts of criminals throughout the country just as he did in his city.

We need a leader who has transformed a once violent city into the most peaceful in the country.

We need a leader who has such charisma to convince his constituents in Davao City, reputedly the biggest city in the world in terms of land area, not to use firecrackers on New Year’s Eve.

We need a leader who is respected by both Moro and communist rebels because he’s in constant dialogue with them.

We need a leader who’s respected by both the masses and upper class because they know he doesn’t steal from them.

We need a leader who’s respected by the business community in his city because he never ever shakes them down.

Yes, this is an early campaign speech for Duterte.

Now shoot me, Rody!"

People now are eager to hear the reaction of Duterte to the letter message of Tulfo.

Ellen Adarna's Nude Photos From A Local Magazine Leaked

MANILA - A local magazine has condemned the leaked nude photos of sexy actress and model Ellen Adarna as a "blatant violation of her privacy" and has asked the public to refrain from spreading it online.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Esquire Philippines said it "condemns the unauthorized distribution of Ellen Adarna originally taken from a shoot the magazine staged for its April 2014 edition."

"She had agreed to be featured in Esquire Philippines with the understanding that no nude photographs taken of her then would be published or disseminated. The recent circulation of such sensitive photos without her (or our) knowledge or consent is in blatant violation of her privacy, and her right to dignity. We share her outrage; we are deeply angry; we will not hesitate to take the appropriate legal action," the magazine said.

The rest of the statement is as follows: "The images in question, staged with photographer Jake Versoza, were never used in the magazine itself, and in most cases, were never even in the possession of the magazine. The images we did use from the shoot were treated to make sure any sensitive areas were artfully covered or obscured, as had been the agreement."

"It is apparent as well to Esquire magazine that its own rights, as well as that of photographer Jake Versoza, have been infringed. We will take the proper measured action to protect its rights. Most importantly, we urge all not to participate in the dissemination of sensitive images that were not intended for public by the one person whose rights and dignity above all else’s should be respected at this time," the magazine wrote.

Early Wednesday, the "unauthorized" photos of Adarna, which shows her completely naked, were published on a local gossip blog.
