SILICON VALLEY, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – Unfriending or unfollowing someone on Facebook just became a whole lot easier, thanks to Apple’s newly-unveiled keyboard.

The new keyboard which will become standard with all Apple computers and laptops going forward, has an ‘Unfriend’ key colored red. It’s also three times the size of the rest of the keys. It’ll be hard to miss.

The new keyboard is not yet available as a built-in feature for iPhones and iPads but is expected to be one of the new features for the next generation of these mobile devices.

So the next time a Facebook friend or follower pisses you off, press the red button and that friend or follower is history. Instantly!

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles, Las Vegas Bureau) – Despite all the talk about Donald Trump barging into dressing rooms full of naked beauty pageant contestants, not all aspiring beauty queens are against him. Like Miss Philippines and Miss USA.

The top five candidates at the Miss Grand International 2016 were dealt a polarizing question for the final portion of the pageant in Las Vegas, Tuesday night (Wednesday in Manila).

Each beauty queen was tasked to choose between US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for help in stopping war and violence, which is the main thrust of Miss Grand International.

Miss USA drew loud boos from the crowds for picking Trump and similarly, the Philippines’ bet Nicole Cordoves was also loudly heckled.

Puerto Rico, Thailand, and Indonesia chose Clinton and gave her high praise for advancing women’s rights.

Miss Indonesia Ariska Putri Pertiw won the crown while Trump girl Miss Philippines was first runner-up, a forboding of the results of the presidential elections in two weeks.

The only difference? The margin that separated the new Miss Grand International and the first runner-up was almost too close to call.

Unlike the elections where Clinton is expected to win by a landslide.

Hillary Clinton Will Forgo Of Presidential Inaugural Ball

img_6690WASHINGTON D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Been there, done that.  With those words, Hillary Clinton today announced that she will scrap the traditional presidential inaugural ball that usually accompanies a presidential inauguration.

Confident of her victory in the November U.S. presidential elections, Clinton said there was no point in holding a presidential inauguration ball when she already had two of those during her husband’s time as president.

Instead, Hillary said she would invite all current and former White House staff to a homecoming dinner  to mark her (and husband Bill’s) return to the most famous address on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.

“It will be a simple but meaningful celebration which will save the U.S. government hundreds of thousands of dollars that would otherwise be spent on a lavish, elitist, and  insignificant event,” Hillary told The Adobo Chronicles.

Change is, indeed, coming!
