Komo gives you full control of your money!

Published

Komo, a digital banking service powered by EastWest, finally made noise. The platform provides everything you’d expect out of a digital bank, giving users full control over their finances.

There’s no need for long queues at branch visits or hotline calls that take more than an hour, as well as services that usually take a few weeks or more when done in a brick-and-mortar bank.

No need for a physical branch visit

As a digital banking service, Komo doesn’t require you to visit a branch to open a savings account. Simply download the Komo app on your iPhone or Android device and register. You will be required with one valid ID and face verification, and voila!

After getting your account verified, you can get a free VISA debit card for your cashless transactions, as well as the ability to withdraw on any automated teller machine (ATM) nationwide. Moreover, you can generate an authorized bank certificate for visa applications through the app.

Faster, secure transactions

The purpose of a digital banking service is convenience, and Komo delivers through fast yet secure transactions. Through the app, you can authorize transactions with your face ID or fingerprint, without the need for a one-time pin (OTP) that’s usually delayed because of poor network issues.

Even more, Komo pushes for OTP-less transactions through biometrics to keep your account safe. In worst-case scenarios, you have the option to lock and safeguard your account from theft and fraud on your own.

Full control of your personal finance

Komo’s advocacy is helping people take control of their money. The digital banking service created a system that allows its patrons to focus on personal finance with its Personal Finance and Analytics tools — money management services that give an overlook of expenses as well as a dashboard where you can set your financial goals.

It comes with a feature that lets you set your goals and budgets to achieve the desired outcome. Rainy day, vacation, or a big automotive purchase — you name it. Komo helps you visualize the progress of your savings.

Moreover, you’re in for a treat since Komo secures your funds and grows them through a 2.5% annual interest.

Build your own insurance plan

Komo has partnered with Troo Flex, allowing its users to build their own insurance plans. In just a few taps, you can create and customize a benefit that meets your lifestyle and budget. For as low as PhP 428 (US$ 8) per year, you can get comprehensive protection through the app.

Komo is available on Google Play Store and the App Store. For more information, visit this link.

Firefox ad reunites all your favorite memes from decades ago

The Numa Numa Guy, Annoying Orange, and Chocolate Rain are back!

Published

Before Tung Tung Tung Sahur and Skibidi Toilet, the early internet was populated by charismatic personalities looking to make their presences felt in a land that didn’t have a lot of rules yet. As early users, we danced to “Dragostea din tei,” belted out “Chocolate Rain,” and copied “Shoes” word-for-word. Today, Firefox is bringing all those good memories back for a grand reunion.

In a new ad, the web browser featured ten of the biggest stars of the early internet including the aforementioned Numa Numa Guy, Tay Zonday, and Shoes’ Kelly. You can also see Annoying Orange, Chuck Testa, Overly Attached Girlfriend, Bad Luck Brian, Where the Hell is Matt?, the Apparently Kid, and the Success Kid.

Now, this isn’t just a reunion. The ad has a clear message about today’s most concerning issue: AI. Everything has “built-in AI, always asking, asking, asking,” as the Annoying Orange said.

“They make money by following us, and somehow, I’m the creepy one?” the Overly Attached Girlfriend asked.

All these famous personalities are asking what happened to the internet today. Obviously, the big takeaway is that we should all go back to Firefox.

Compared to other browsers, Firefox has a lot of built-in features that offer a lot of control for users. For one, it has its own VPN for privacy. Secondly, reflecting the ad’s message against AI, the browser has a toggle to minimize AI features.

Salesforce introduces Slack Frontline for deskless workers

Simple, secure, mobile-first way for deskless teams across retail, healthcare, manufacturing, field service

Published

Salesforce is bridging the massive divide between corporate headquarters and deskless workers with the launch of Slack Frontline.

This new solution is designed specifically for retail associates, healthcare providers, factory workers, and field crews.

The mobile-first workspace brings communication, data, role-specific tools, and AI together in a single clutter-free app.

While frontline employees make up about 80 percent of the global workforce, they have historically been left out of workplace transformation, often relying on paper checklists, group texts, and broken communication loops.

Slack Frontline addresses these challenges by giving mobile workers up to 10 role-relevant channels, instant Huddles with headquarters, on-demand AI agents, and automated workflows.

Backed by Salesforce data and enterprise-grade security, the platform lets IT teams govern the entire workforce under one secure layer with employee ID sign-ins, multifactor authentication, and compliance configurations like HIPAA.

This ensures that critical updates, training materials, and shift handoffs reach workers directly in their pockets without needing corporate email addresses or shared terminals.

Moreover, the platform is tailored to transform operations across multiple industries, including retail, home healthcare, manufacturing, hospitality, and field services.

For instance, retail teams can instantly sync promotions and monitor inventory, while healthcare professionals can securely review patient histories and coordinate care on the go.

Manufacturing and hospitality teams benefit from drastically reduced downtime and faster issue resolution, cutting response times significantly.

Slack Frontline is available now as an add-on for businesses on the Slack Enterprise+ plan.

Apple Music is getting a Liquid Glass makeover

The new logo debuts next week with iOS 27.2.

Apple Music is getting a revamp. In one of the tamer things going on with the brand today, Apple has introduced a new design language for its native music streaming platform.

In the midst of all the hubbub surrounding the iPhone Duo, Apple released a change in the visual identity of Apple Music. Rather than a static logo, the platform’s newest evolution offers a dynamic look that melds Liquid Glass and the power of sound together.

Confirmed through a behind-the-scenes video, Apple says that the new aesthetic was made with practical effects. Music producer Fred Again and NEST Acoustics submerged the platform’s logo in a tank of mineral oil and creating ripples with sound. The new language matches well with the chrome aesthetic typical of today’s trends and… well, Liquid Glass, of course.

Apple says that the more ripple-filled version will play before longer content like concert recordings (similar to Netflix’s startup stinger). Meanwhile, a black-and-white version will replace the app’s icon currently colored red and white. Current previews show off a simple logo, but it’s unknown whether Apple is adding a but more elements when the final version drops.

The updated version will debut for users after next week’s iOS 27.2 and macOS 27.2 updates.
