Television viewing just got huge–and ‘timeless’
By Alex Y. Vergara
Home entertainment didn’t just get bigger, smarter, clearer and more intuitive at Samsung Electronics’ regional forum held in Jakarta, Indonesia; it also became “timeless.”

Seriously, what is up with the stars of “Pretty Little Liars” and the Philippines? It’s interesting how two of the stars of the hit show have been to the Philippines. Lucy Hale, who plays Aria Montgomery in the show, visited the country in February 2012 when Bench got her as an endorser.
Actor Patrick J. Adams may not have the extraordinary photographic memory of Mike Ross, the young associate he plays on the TV series “Suits,” but his own mental faculty is pretty good. “Can I say something first before we say goodbye? It’s someone’s birthday over here,” he says, looking at his “Suitors”—the collective name his fans have given themselves.
Children who watch excessive amounts of television are more likely to have criminal convictions and show aggressive personality traits as adults, a New Zealand study has found.
Do Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) TV preachers realize that they humiliate and insult Catholics with their full-blast demolition job, by interpreting and inferring “falsehoods” of many principal Catholic beliefs and practices? (This is done without the full benefit of explanations and clarifications by a competent Catholic authority present).
When we found out that we were interviewing the Jessica Lange, we knew it was time to confront our fears—literally. Ever since Ryan Murphy’s much-lauded anthology TV series “American Horror Story” premiered in 2011, we’ve been dying to watch it, but we knew we’d be scared out of our wits.
Developed by Russian company Yota Devices which dealt mostly with modems and routers, the YotaPhone is a unique and novel concept that we hope will come to fruition. This Android-powered smartphone is as thin as most smartphones but comes with two displays-an HD resolution display plus an e-ink one on the back. It’s like having a built-in e-reader with your colored smartphone. And while it was originally intended to slow down battery depletion (e-ink only consumes battery when it is refreshed), we love how the phone could be a Kindle and a phone in one (the Kindle Fire’s eye-straining backlit display doesn’t count).
In the Buencamino household in Quezon City, talk about rehearsals and tapings and pictorials is part of the script of everyday life. After all, this is home to three dogs, four youngsters—and their parents.
If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. But why would you want to, when it’s Solenn Heussaff and Isabelle Daza-arguably two of the hottest young models/actresses in the land right now-manning the stove?
When my daughter Sadako started watching TV regularly when she turned two, I gave up my reality shows and teleserye. I thought I would end up giving up television; in fact, I ended up watching even more.
Someday, with age, Daniel Padilla could morph into a different kind of star, but right now, at 17, he just might be our first bishonen idol. Bishonen is Japanese for “beautiful boy,” and refers to a character type common in manga, anime and other forms of Asian entertainment.
