Microsoft will launch Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 tablets on October 22, 2013.

The new line of Microsoft tablets is expected to directly compete with Apple iPad and Google Android tablets.

According to its official website, Microsoft described Surface Pro as "A laptop in tablet form, Surface Pro brings together the best of Microsoft in one awesome new device."

The Intel® CoreTM i5 processor runs virtually all your favorite programs, including Office1, with blazing fast speed.

A Digitimes report explained the Redmond company's strategy,
Microsoft’s current plight is due to its late entry to the mobile market, high product prices, and weak ecosystem compared to its competitors. Microsoft’s strategy of developing its tablet operating system using its PC operating system as the base, is the main problem preventing Windows-based tablets becoming standardized.

Pre-orders for the new line of Surface tablets are now available. Surface Pro prices starts at $799. Reports say that first generation Surface RT will still be available at a drop-down price of $350.

Surface tablets top selling point is the availability of Office applications.

University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigers drew first blood with a hairline win over the De La Salle University (DLSU) Green Archers, 73-72, during Game 1 of the best-of-three UAAP Season 76 Finals series at the Araneta Coliseum on Wednesday, October 2, 2013.

Kevin Ferrer led all scorers with 20 points. Karim Abdul added 19 points and 12 rebounds. Jeric Teng had 17 points and seven rebounds for UST.

UST carried the momentum of their inspiring win against National University (NU) during the Final Four. The Tigers marched into the championship against the Archers after winning twice against NU.

The Growling Tigers lost a double-digit lead early in the game but was able to recover in time and come to within a win away from their first UAAP championship since 2006.

It was a well-attended game as 20,000 fans trooped to the SMART Araneta Coliseum to witness the UAAP Finals.

Everyone was in shocked after UST beat DLSU. UST head coach Pido Jarencio said, "Ako rin, na-shock ako! Panalo pala kami!"

At the start of the fourth quarter, La Salle was still leading 54-50.

Jeric Teng, however, took charged in the final quarter by getting five straight points to regain the lead for UST, 55-54.

With a little over two minutes to go, Karim Abdul coolly drained two charities to make it 68-63 in favor of UST, only to see La Salle's Jason Perkins drain a triple that made it a one-possession game, 66-68, with just 1:58 left.

After a split at the line by Jeron Teng made it a one-point game, UST's Kevin Ferrer drilled a booming triple from the top of the key that made it a four-point game, 73-69, with just 41 seconds left.

Jeron however, completed a three-point play immediately after to make it a one-point game anew, 72-73, with still 29.1 seconds left in the game.

But in the next play, Aljon Mariano lost the ball after an inbound pass from Ferrer. That gave La Salle a chance to win the game.

But Almond Vosotros missed an open three pointer and Abdul blocked LA Revilla's putback as time expires.

Game 2 of the UAAP Season 76 Finals will be on Saturday, October 5. The championship game will be played at the Araneta Coliseum and will be live on ABS-CBN's Channel 2.

Devina DeDiva is still a trending topic on Twitter, Facebook and several search engines that include Google, Yahoo and Bing.

However, it seems that Devina DeDiva cannot take the heat from the fire she personally lit up. After being bombarded with negative reactions from her racist Facebook post about the 2013 Miss World winner, Devina DeDiva, deactivated her account from the social networking site.

Last Monday, DeDiva posted her reaction about Megan Young being the Miss World pageant queen. DeDiva maligned Filipinos by saying that "They are poor, smelly from cleaning toilets and uneducated... They are mostly filthy maids and will be only of that status. End of story."

On Wednesday, October 2, former beauty queens made their presence felt by supporting Megan Young. Below are some of the reactions by previous Filipina pageant winners.


  • The honor is not only Megan's but the Philippines. We have made history and have proven once and for all that the Filipina is the most beautiful woman in the world! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas - Cory Quirino, national director of Miss World Philippine.
  • What’s wrong with being a maid? Is that a crime? - Gemma Cruz-Araneta, 1964 Miss International


  • To all her detractors, bless your hearts. I am proud of and grateful for Megan’s simplicity and golden heart. - 1979 Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez.
  • I have nothing to say (to those critics). Let Megan show the world how great she is as a Filipino woman. Meanwhile, let's all do our best to uplift our country by giving nobility to our jobs…wherever we are. This is a call for everyone to step up and show the world that we are kind, God-fearing people. - Miriam Quiambao, 1999 Miss Universe first runner-up.

Climbing and walking through the Great Wall of China is hard and tiring. However, Justin Bieber found a way to make it easier for him to traverse one of the World's Wonders.

The 19-year-old pop star reportedly asked his bodyguards to carry him on their shoulders during their tour of the Great Wall.

In several photos posted by fans on Instagram, Bieber seemed to look like a modern version of Chinese emperors being carried for transport.

Earlier, Bieber roamed around Beijing using his skateboard while letting his bodyguards run behind him.

Bieber fanatics justified the pop star's behavior with one @bieberandsupras tweeting "only Justin would have somebody carry him up the Great Wall of China, aw my baby boy."
