MOUNTAIN VIEW, California (The Adobo Chronicles®) – Forgot your password yet again? No worries. There’s  a new technology now in the market that will revolutionize identity recognition for unlocking your smart phone, using the ATM, or gaining access to maximum security areas.

Until recently, fingerprints and the eye’s iris have been the highest standard in identity technology.

Today, Symantec Corporation announced the latest innovation: sneezing into your phone or computer instead of entering a passcode or using your fingerprint or iris.

Symantec is an American technology company headquartered in Mountain View, California. The company makes security, storage, backup and availability software and offers professional services to support its software.

A company spokesperson told The Adobo Chronicles® that the new technology is based on the fact that no two persons sneeze alike. The technology will recognize a person’s sneeze and match it with the identity on record. In addition, the moisture from a person’s sneeze will provide fool-proof identification based on his or her DNA.

The sneeze identity technology, aptly named ‘Gesundheit,’  can be installed on any existing device by dowloading a Symantec software that’s retailing for $129.99.

So the next time you unlock your phone or withdraw money from your bank account, say “Achoo!”

We see a lot of blessings coming our way!

Battle of the Pizzas: Hotdog Vs. Lumpia

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) –  It’s supposed to be the big day on Thursday  for Pizza Hut : the official launching of its new  pizza with hotdog-stuffed crust, a concoction that Italian chefs and bakers would almost be embarrassed to even think about.

The usually serious Washington Post  took time out from its political news coverage to video tape a taste test of the new product among its newsroom staff.

But then, on the eve of the launch, Pizza Hut encountered an unexpectected competition from a little known Filipino pizza joint  (MyBayKitchen.com) in the Silicon Valley, which came up with its more delicious and healthy alternative — pizza with lumpia (Filipino egg roll).

The Pizza Hut version uses mustard for its sauce on the side while the Filipino version uses banana ketchup.

The two pizzas look almost exactly alike, except that the Filipino pizza does not contain any pepperoni, just  plain garlic, spinach and cheese combo, flanked with half slices of the Filipino lumpiang Shanghai, a  superstar in the cuisine of this island nation of 100 Million people.

The Filipino concoction caught the eye of  frozen pizza giant Digiorno which is reportedly in negotiations with the Filipino  pizza joint to patent , distribute and sell the amazing and appetizing  version of the otherwise boring Italian pizza.

Washington Post Misses Wednesday Edition, Blames Pizza Hut

Leave a comment

imageWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – If you’re wondering why your favorite newspaper rack for The Washington Post is empty today, wonder no more. The country’s leading print newspaper does not have a Wednesday edition.

Yesterday, in the spirit of public service, newsroom staff of the Post participated in a taste test of the new Pizza Hut hot dog-stuffed crust. “We’re doing the tasting so that you don’t have to,” the staff said in a recorded video of the taste test.

Staff reaction to the new pizza which will officially launch Thursday  was, at best, lukewarm. Many found the pepperoni and hot dog combination unnecessary and far from appetizing.image

Now back to why there is no Wednesday edition of the Post this week. All staff that participated in the Pizza Hut taste test left the newsroom early Tuesday. They all suffered from indigestion.

But not to worry, you can still read the paper’s online edition.

As for the hot dog pizza? Well, you just need to make your own judgment Thursday.

And oh, don’t forget the mustard.
