Globe Visibility on Debian GNU/Linux

"Internet Anywhere" with Globe's Unlimited GPRS Offering

Globe Telecoms recently launched their unlimited Internet offering called Visibility. Commercially it's offered as part of a number of plans, including a PhP2,500/month plan that comes with unlimited 3.5G/EDGE/GPRS, Wi-Fi in Wiz hotspots and dial-up, or a PhP1,700/month plan for unlimited 3.5G/EDGE/GPRS.

The most apparent difference was in form: This concert was crafted entirely out of the intricate magic of Black Light Theatre. Black lights are UV lamps that do not illuminate things directly, but selectively cause flourescent colours to glow. Through a clever manipulation of costumes and accessories, the dancers were able to deceive the eye with grace heightened by illusion, defy gravity with invisible hands, vanish into the darkness only to re-emerge from thin air. The effect has no better word for it but magic.
