Google Chrome Extension Support

2009-04-22T14:19:00.000+07:00

Alternate browsers are becoming increasingly popular, even though Internet Explorer still has a stronghold when it comes to market share. Some of the most popular alternate web browsers available include Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Google’s new Chrome web browser.

Still in beta, Google’s "Chrome" has attracted less than 2% of the Internet browser market at its peak, but Google engineers are working to enhance the software to make it more appealing and useful to its users. One very popular idea for improving Chrome is the addition of an extension system, which will enable third-party developers to produce plugins for any number of add-on features, ranging from browser enhancements to RSS readers, calendar/reminder extensions, etc.Chrome users can then install the plugins to complete tasks that Google did not integrate into the web browser.

Mozilla Firefox, a browser that holds the record for the most downloads in a single day, has the ability to integrate third-party plugins, which has been perhaps the greatest factor in achieving its 20% web browser market share.

One of Google’s developers made the announcement that Google is looking into integrating third-party browser plugins for Chrome. They also released a design document that provided an outline for what needed to be done in order to add plugin support. This functionality is certainly at the top of the wishlist for most Chrome users, and Google seems to be working on providing the support as quickly as possible. The first plugins planned for integration include Flash and an ad blocker (ironic), which are some of the more popular plugins for Mozilla Firefox.

Unfortunately, Google has yet to announce when this implementation will be complete, but at least we know that they plan on offering extension support in the near future.

Bulletproof MySpace Game Poised to Challenge Mafia Wars

2009-04-21T12:33:00.001+07:00

A new MySpace game has recently surfaced that is poised to give Mafia Wars some stiff competition. Named Bulletproof, the game offers players a number of advantages over Mafia Wars, especially considering the recent frustration Zynga has caused for many of its players.

With Mafia Wars, you must endlessly get other MySpace game players to become friends with you on MySpace and then request approval to become family members inside the game. Your player’s strength is greatly affected by the number of family members you have. Bulletproof does not require this, which gives you a lot more time to actually play as well as preventing all the hassle of working to get all the family members (500).

Since your character in Mafia Wars should have so many family members, you also have to equip each with weapons, defense, and vehicles. Bulletproof only requires that you look out for yourself and build your own character.

Ability points are more challenging to come by in Bulletproof, which makes them very precious. This also makes the game more of a challenge, and thus more entertaining.

One of the best aspects of Bulletproof is how interactive it is. While Mafia Wars will offer you a special item every once in a while (that is not really beneficial since they are never used when you already have the napalm), that’s about it. On the other hand, Bulletproof is highly interactive with several special items, competitions with other players to get items better than those you can obtain normally in the game, and more.

Bulletproof offers a comprehensive selection of jobs, investments, and inventory, with more on the way. In fact, new content will be added on an ongoing basis.

The fight list is structured in such a way that only players within the same level range are able to fight during normal game-play. This is especially useful for new players, but also high-level players since higher level opponents can typically withstand more hits, and therefore yield more experience. In Mafia Wars, there are ongoing problems with the fight list that prevent you from facing comparable opponents.

Additional extras not present in Mafia Wars include an armory (which requires a special badge obtained by defeating an enforcer for access), junkyard for obtaining rare items not available elsewhere that are available occasionally by random, ranking system details, and more player information. Being sent to jail is actually implemented in Bulletproof also. While you can see a jailed count in the Mafia Wars stats, it doesn’t seem to be used at all during game-play.

Bulletproof is also being actively developed. Therefore, suggestions and new ideas are being considered, and the game is being improved continuously. Bulletproof seems to be a better game than Mafia Wars in virtually every aspect. All it needs is more players. Join in on the fun! A support and community chat is also available for the game here.

Mafia MoFo - Not Just Another Mafia Game

2009-04-21T12:27:00.002+07:00

Recently, there has been a lot of activity with online mafia / mobster games, from the problems with Mafia Wars to the launch of Bulletproof, New Mafia, and more. You may be asking why you would care about yet another mafia game.

Mafia MoFo sets itself apart from the rest in several ways. Mafia MoFo is not a MySpace game, which generally makes it more easily accessible, without the performance issues associated with Myspace. However, what really sets Mafia MoFo apart from the rest is the amount of entertaining activities that are available. Mafia MoFo is miles ahead of the other games in this regard. Some of the virtual properties and activities available include a pharmacy for buying drugs, real estate purchasing (house and land), equipment shop, pawn shop, black market, point shop, used car lot, bus station, ability to drive to another city (if you have a car), jobs, hire a private investigator, stock market, gambling (lottery, slot machine, and 50/50 game), and more. Players increase stats by working out in the gym. Numerous crime jobs are available to increase experience and earn cash. Of course, fighting is also available, as well as a hitlist. The game is further enhanced with interactive contests and events that award prizes, such as a medal or other special item. On top of all that, the job outcomes and other messages displayed throughout the game are humorous and very enjoyable, making the entire game experience pleasant and relaxed.

The game is brand new. Therefore, it is being enhanced vigorously with new features and improvements. Soon the game will feature the same fight list style familiar from other mafia games. Since the game has just launched, new players are all the game really needs to be a big success and highly enjoyable for all players. Come check it out! The most important thing to concentrate on in the beginning is performing crime jobs to advance your level and working out in the gym. By the time you’re ready to battle it out, perhaps the new fight system will already be in place! So, get started building up your character so that once it is available, you will be ready! Of course, you can also fight now from any player’s page in the meantime, if you so choose. On one last note, be sure to check out the "How to Play" tutorial under the Account section. If contains valuable information all players need to know. Mafia MoFo is a bit different from the others, but easy to play once you get the hang of things. Of course, the differences it features are what make the game as great as it is!

Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh

Voltaic Systems Solar Laptop Bag

2009-02-11T02:24:00.007+07:00

With the ever increasing awareness about the environment, manufacturers are coming up with more and more environment-friendly products. The "go green" catchphrase was all around the 2009 CES, where solar bag producer, Voltaic Systems, publicized the release of its laptop charging solar bags. These bags feature a lithium-ion battery inside them as well as adapters for different devices.

Many laptop users have been waiting for this kind of product. The Voltaic Systems Generator Laptop Solar bag features an integrated 14-watt solar panel (a significant upgrade from Voltaic Systems' current 4-watt bags), allowing you to charge your notebook and other devices such as cell phones and iPods. The first of its kind, the bag generates maximum power within the limited space by using high efficiency solar cells.

The solar bag's setup appears similar to the current bags in that it is manufactured using fabrics that are made up of recycled soda bottles. This makes the bag tough, waterproof, and resistant to UV. If you're ready to power up your laptop using solar energy, you'll have to wait a little longer. The shipping will start later this spring. You can buy one for $599.

nobody knows...

2009-02-02T17:21:00.000+07:00

Far away, I'm breathing, as if I were transparent
It would seem I was in the dark, but I was only blindfolded

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don't give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me, and keep me strong

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

We are rowing the boat of fate, but the waves keep attacking us
But isn't that still a wonderful journey? Aren't any of them a wonderful
journey?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you, and keep you strong

BenQ's Joybook Lite U101

2009-01-08T08:13:00.000+07:00

BenQ felt that all netbooks were beginning to look the same, so it came up with Joybook Lite U101, a netbook that's hard to forget. At first glance, Joybook Lite looks very much like many others on the market today. It features a 10.2 inch display, runs Windows XP, and is powered by 1.6GHz Inte l Atom CPU. But few things set it apart.

Joybook Lite features a 16:9 aspect ratio display (1024 x 576 pixels), great for watching HD movies which usually come in this ratio. BenQ banks on the glittery and shiny design finishes, setting Joybook Lite apart from other netbooks. Its cover has an emoticon design: Small light blue emoticons are printed on the device's blue glossy lid. It is also available in pink, white, and black.

Joybook Lite has several access panels on its back. It has an empty PATA/ZIF slot, allowing you to add an SSD or hard drive. There's also a spare mini PCI-e slot which could be useful for a 3G modem or some other goodies. This mini-laptop features a 4-in-1 card reader, 1.3MP webcam, 3 x USB 2.0 ports, Bluetooth, and WiFi 802.11 b/g, LAN. While Joybook Lite is not available in the United States yet, you can buy this netbook in Taiwan for around $550.

Dior Mobile Phone Targets People with Too Much Money

2009-01-07T18:50:00.002+07:00

Just in case you still have not felt the economic crunch, you might as well spend your hard-earned money on the extravagant luxuries that only Christian Dior can deliver. The couture house known for expensive dresses and accessories has introduced a newest addition to their collection: The Dior Phone.

Originally targeting the richest people of China and Russia, the Dior Phone has since become available to Europe and United States due to high demand. Why? Who does not want to feel luxurious?

The Dior Phone features a touch screen display with integrated media player, Bluetooth connection, and two-megapixel camera, all encased in a slim clamshell hand-brushed stainless steel case engraved with sapphire crystal plate arranged in its patented "Cannage" pattern. The casing alone, we think, is why this mobile phone costs at a ridiculous price of $5,000.

The whole Dior Phone collection comes in two variations: The Diamants and Cristal Saphir. The former comes in an iconic black casing, while the latter (although same in design as the Diamant) comes in white, gray, pink, and red.

But apart for all the poking fun over its seemingly ostentatious price, the Dior Phone does have one thing worth noticing. Apart from the mobile phone, it also comes with a mini-me called My Dior, which is as small as a USB key. Simply clip in outside your bag and when you receive a call, simply use the My Dior as it communicates with your main cellphone through Bluetooth. Now you do not have to rummage through your piles within your purse just to find your phone.

Now, if only you can be able to download applications in it, as well as browse the Internet, watch movies, play games, and have an integrated GPS, the Dior Phone could be worth its steep price.

Windows 7 Features and Performance

2008-12-19T07:43:00.000+07:00

There’s much anticipation for Microsoft’s next operating system release, Windows 7. Enthusiasts are still speculating on the official launch date, and as of writing, there is no official word from Microsoft. Below is a list of new features that enthusiasts can look forward to enjoying, most of which are confirmed in the current pre-release version that is nearly at a "feature-complete" state.

User interface Features

User interface features affect nearly every user. While it is not the most important part of an OS, user interface features often go a long way towards the impression of an OS, and will likely draw many comparisons to other Microsoft operating systems. Windows 7 comes with a stylish end-user interface. You can expect icons to respond with quick animated movements, which is done to enhance the user experience. So far, compliments for the speed and ease of use of the user interface have been dominant for the new OS.

The desktop is clearly much cleaner and better organized, and comes with docking options that are similar to the Mac’s OS. New applications and improvements to existing applications have been added as well. For example, you will find the calculator to be much improved and more powerful. It supports real life conversions and calculations, like weight and length converters.

If you are in the habit of placing sticky notes all over your monitor and work area, you will surely welcome the new stick notes application that comes with the desktop. You can stick as many virtual notes on your desktop, and delete them as you work. Now your workstation will certainly look cleaner and more organized. You are also saving trees by using less paper!

A new version of Windows Media Center will also launch with this release. New gadgets are being integrated into the Media Center and Windows Explorer. Gadgets are standalone applications that sit on the desktop (some are hosted on another server). There are web gadgets, sidebar gadgets, and sideshow gadgets (run on external displays).

System Performance Features

Windows 7 now offers support for virtual hard disks and boasts improved performance on multi-core processors, improved boot performance, improved SSD support and performance, and improved kernel performance. Obviously, performance is a key goal for Windows 7. With the current pre-release version, even at an unfinished state, it appears that Microsoft is doing extremely well in achieving this goal. The pre-release version tested is remarkably stable and offers noticeably better performance than Windows XP with the latest hardware.

If you visit the control panel, you will find that many new items are added, including Accelerators, Display Calibration Wizard, Gadgets, Recovery, Troubleshooting, and more. Windows Security Center is now known as Windows Solution Center, and it is responsible for maintaining the security of the system.

Unique Features

The touch screen feature is a new and unique feature that enables many interesting touch applications. For instance, you can have a touch app that works exactly like a keyboard. This means you can type an entire document without the use of an additional piece of hardware. You can also use this feature to play the piano or do a painting. The feature is something that has not been previously available in earlier versions of the Microsoft OS.

Other unique features include speech and hand writing recognition. Hand writing recognition technology can help convert human handwriting into digital text.

Developer Features

Developers can look forward to using a new networking API to develop SOAP based web services in native (or machine) code. There are also new features that reduce application install times. Development of installation packages is simplified in the new OS as well.

MvixBox 2-bay Ultra Performance NAS / Media Server

2008-12-16T08:39:00.000+07:00

The MvixBox 2-bay high performance NAS / media server is a 3-in-1 solution for storing media files, operating as a media server, and facilitating file transfer. These features are already available in other options, such as the DViCo TViX M-6500A, but the MvixBox is a more affordable solution that also offers the bonus of dual drive bays. The functionality could also be achieved by buying a home PC, installing a server OS onto it, and connecting it to the network. However, chances are that even if you manage to get this working without problems, it would cost quite a bit more than even the DViCo TViX M-6500A.

Understanding the needs of small businesses and home users, MvixUSA has come up with a very attractive solution. The MvixBox offers many of the features consumers have been asking for in a network media player. Here are some of the features that the new system offers:

Media server

The MvixBox provides gigabit network speed and large storage capacity, which makes it an ideal system for storing, serving, and transferring media files from one location to another. You can store media files, such as AVI, MPEG, and DIVX movies or MP3 files. From a different room in your home or a meeting room, you can access the content any time needed.

Web Disk Capability

The MvixBox is a Linux-based system, and it comes with what everyone expects Linux servers to include – Apache, MySQL, SQLite, and PHP. To make the server user friendly, a web-disk capability is also provided. This means the user can drag and drop files between the PC and NAS server. User can launch applications like Windows Explorer, WebDisk Explorer, blog software, RSS reader, Torrent client, and more. The setup ensures that anyone who knows how to operate a PC in the Windows environment will know how to handle a MvixBox.

Web Server

The web server is perhaps the most interesting feature of all. Since the MvixBox comes with support for Apache, MYSQL, and PHP, you can host web sites directly from the server. There are many different types of sites that you can setup – blogs, wikis, personal home pages, etc. If you don’t want to host web sites, you can even develop scalable intranet solutions using the database support. This capability makes it one of the most affordable web server solution that the market has to offer for small businesses and home users.

DDNS Server

In order for a web server to recognize Internet domain names, there needs to be a DNS server (or in this case DDNS so that dynamic IPs can be supported). The domain name is mapped to the server IP address, and the DDNS service enables the server to recognize the domain name. Traditional servers supported mostly static IPs. For this reason, you can’t usually operate a web server from home, as most home Internet connections operate on dynamic IPs. Dynamic IPs change all the time, as they are assigned by the ISP. Fortunately, the MvixBox offers free support for dynamic IPs. There is no extra charge for the use of this service.

NAS, Torrent Sharing, and FTP Management

MvixBox offers a simple file sharing feature that provides file encryption when transferring files using HTTP or FTP protocols. You can use the built-in Explorer to transfer files, without having to install additional software.
The system boasts simple and secure administration.

As this is an NAS server, one would expect it to come with simple backup features. The MvixBox does come with easy-to-use data storage scheduling and synchronization. The software is included with the system.

For all the above features, an enthusiast would expect the price tag to be hefty. However, this is not true. The MvixBox retails for around $249.00. Each unit includes two built-in hard drive bays that are capable of holding up a 1.5 terabyte (TB) hard drive. The hard drives are not included. Therefore, you can buy any size that best meets your needs. Even with the most expensive hard drive bundled, the entire system still costs just about $600.

Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 HD Webcam

2008-12-15T09:10:00.000+07:00

There was a time when having a webcam was only for the wealthy. Those days are long gone. Today almost every household in the U.S. is able to connect to the Internet. With the boom of the Internet came social networking, online dating, instant messaging, and even online business meetings. No longer do we have to worry about the low quality, blurry, spherical webcams provided in the past. The future is here, and webcam quality has risen so much in such a short time it’s astonishing, with Logitech leading the way. They released their Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 not too long ago, and we’re lucky enough to be able to give you a quick overview of it.

One of the first things you’ll notice about the camera is the Carl Zeiss lens located on the left side of its uniquely horizontal body. The microphone is located on the right, and you’ll also find a button beside the lens that allows you to take pictures. Around the Logitech logo is an indicatory illuminated circle that lets you know when the QuickCam Pro 9000 is on. It has a very unique, two-hinged support structure that bends in different shapes so that you have the versatility to either secure the webcam to a CRT or LCD monitor or stand it on a table.

Regardless of the features a webcam has, it must be able to transmit great image and sound for it to be a worthy solution. With a 2 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens, Logitech’s new QuickCam quickly put all our other webcams to shame. Everyone that we had a video chat with via instant messaging said the image transmitted was extremely sharp and of astonishingly high quality. Using the high resolution setting on the QuickCam, we were able to enjoy full screen video chat with contacts without image noise. One of the best features of the camera is HD recording, which allows you to record in HD, for those who love to make high quality videos and host them on your PC or online.

The QuickCam Pro can be purchased for about $113, which is affordable for the quality provided. You definitely won’t need another webcam for awhile if you purchase the new Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000.

REVIEW: BOLT

2008-12-11T11:13:00.004+07:00

Petualangan Pahlawan Anjing

Walt Disney Pictures dikenal sebagai salah satu rumah produksi yang cukup produktif dalam menciptakan karya animasi penuh imajinasi bagi penonton setianya. Sebut saja kita pernah dibawa untuk menelusuri kehidupan bawah laut yang indah dalam "Finding Nemo" (2003) atau kehidupan superheroes dalam "The Incredible" (2004) yang mengagumkan. Setelah puas mengeksplorasi ragam cerita, bulan Desember ini sebuah kisah petualangan seekor pahlawan anjing bernama "Bolt" siap untuk diluncurkan Disney dalam menyambut liburan akhir tahun.

Seekor anjing German Shepherd berbulu putih yang diberi nama cukup singkat yaitu Bolt (diisi suara oleh John Travolta) dikisahkan sepanjang hidupnya selalu menjadi anjing pahlawan dalam sebuah acara televisi bersama dengan seorang jagoan wanita bernama Penny (diisi suara oleh Miley Cyrus). Saat secara tak sengaja ia terbawa dalam sebuah kardus paket menuju New York, Bolt pun menyadari bahwa semua kekuatan superhero yang selama ini ia agungkan ternyata hanya sebuah tipuan trik film.

Menyadari kekuatannya telah hilang dan sekaligus mendapati dirinya berada ratusan ribu kilometer dari Hollywood, Bolt pun harus berpikir realistis bagaimana ia harus terus bertahan hidup karena sebelumnya dimanjakan. Ditemani seekor kucing bernama Mittens (Susie Essman) dan seekor hamster obsesif bernama Rhino (Mark Walton), Bolt harus bergerak cepat kembali ke Hollywood demi mendapatkan perannya kembali di serial yang telah melambungkan namanya di jagat hiburan sebelum digantikan oleh anjing lain.

Tidak seperti film animasi Disney sebelumnya, para pengisi suara "Bolt" boleh dibilang datang dari latar yang beragam. Sebagai pengisi suara Bolt dipilih aktor gaek John Travolta untuk menyuarakannya. Sedangkan aktris muda Miley Cyrus yang melejit lewat serial Hannah Montana terpilih menyuarakan karakter kucing Mittens. Kolaborasi memikat dari dua bintang ini semakin membuat Bolt menjadi sebuah tontonan menghibur yang pantang dilewatkan. Uniknya di Indonesia film ini dapat juga dinikmati dalam kecanggihan versi 3 Dimensi dengan memakai kacamata khusus. (wal)

Zynga Causes Extreme Frustration for Myspace Mafia Wars PlayersMyspace Mafia Wars

2008-12-11T11:05:00.000+07:00

Basics of the Game

For those not familiar with the game, Mafia Wars is a Myspace game, produced by Zynga, that has garnered massive popularity since its inception. In Mafia Wars, you are the leader of your family. You build up your family, equip them with attack and defense items as well as vehicles, and fight with other families in the game, building your character up as you go with stronger attack, defense, health, energy, and stamina.

A players level, attack, and defense stats determine if they win a given fight compared to their opponent. With each fight, your health is lowered, and if you run out of health, your character dies, which then requires a visit to the hospital or waiting for health to build up little by little. Each time a player instigates a fight, stamina is used. When stamina runs out, the player can no longer initiate a fight until either the next level is reached or the player waits long enough for more stamina to build up.

Energy is used for performing jobs. At present, there are five categories of jobs, ranging from Street Thug Jobs to Underboss Jobs. Higher level categories require more energy to perform, but yield more experience and money.

Recent Change Causes Massive Disappointment and Hostility

The hitlist has developed into an important part of the game. Players can add any other player to the hitlist, which typically results in the target being taken out. When a player is taken out from the hitlist, experience is lost, and the character is left weak. However, for stronger players, being on the hitlist offered an advantage. Until recently, fights won on the hitlist resulted in experience being gained. Therefore, even though you took damage while being on the hitlist and stood the possibility of dying, you still could at least advance in experience. However, Zynga has now changed the system in such a way that players no longer gain experience from fights won through the hitlist.

This widely unpopular change has resulted in several things:

Players are added to the hitlist and constantly attacked with no benefit whatsoever. If the player is strong, hitlist placement could be maintained for days, with constant attacks, requiring continual attention and limiting what else can be done in the game.
Many players enjoy fighting from the hitlist. It does not possess some of the inconveniences that the fight section does, and makes for a fun way to build your character. However, since this change, the hitlist is quite bare since no one wants to be on the hitlist or added to the hitlist in retaliation.
It takes much longer for a character to advance to the next level. Previously, if your character was almost to the next level, but you were out of stamina and energy, you could count of being on the hit list to help get you to the next level. Since this change, massive time is required to advance to the next level, which is very discouraging to many players.

In fact, since many players have invested considerable money into the game to build their character via Godfather Points, the level of action from players ranges from petitions and names being gathered for those who support changing the hitlist experience gathering back all the way to individuals considering a class action suit against Zynga, since the game is no longer what they invested money into. Needless to say, the majority of players, especially those that play the game the most, are not happy with this change, and in fact, a large number of players have even abandoned the game due to this change.

Whether or not Zynga takes action to reverse the charge could well determine if the game remains popular at all, and the future of the game itself.

The ASUS G50V-A1 is a new 15.4" gaming notebook to hit the market this holiday season. The G50V-A1 is one of the best machines produced by ASUS performance-wise, but it has other issues that should be considered if your intention is to use the "gaming notebook" heavily for its intended purpose.

The notebook offers excellent performance powered with an Intel Core 2 Duo T9400, high-quality WSXGA+ screen, and numerous features that make the system stand out. It is even bundled with useful accessories that do not normally come with a laptop, including a backpack and gaming mouse. The G50V is covered with a two-year warranty, and the first year includes accident damage coverage as well. The ASUS G50V-A1 also comes with a recovery disk that can be useful in the case of emergency.

If the system was marketed as a business machine, we could stop there with an exceptional review. However, while the laptop offers great stock performance, the G50V-A1’s over clocking and power management abilities didn’t fare so well. Even though the machine was nearly flawless during regular usage, it’s always a plus for it to perform during rigorous benchmark tests (WorldBench, Mobilemark, etc.). Another serious issue is that it lacks driver support for widescreen resolution (1440×900), which would come in handy. It runs perfectly in its normal resolution of 1680×1050, but having to step down to 1280×768 for a decent widescreen resolution is not a good look.

The G50V-A1 comes with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, with 4GB of DDR2-800 RAM. The notebook includes an 8X DVD-RW Super Multi drive, 8-in-1 memory card reader, built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam, and Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100AGN with built-in Bluetooth support. Overall, the G50V is a quality gaming platform. The design and numerous features are great. The graphics card it uses (the NVIDIA GeForce 9700 GT) is a bit of an undershot for ASUS since it’s quite underpowered for a gaming laptop.

The A1 can be purchased for a little under $1600, but it may be overpriced since the ASUS G50Vt-X1 can be purchased for $1,250. It’s a cheaper machine, but it has a Core 2 Duo processor, a 15.6" 1366×758 display, and a NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GS, which is simply a better graphics card for a gaming platform.

Apple iPhone 2G (1st Generation) and 3G (2nd Generation) Compared

2008-11-28T09:52:00.004+07:00

Whether you love or hate Apple, you must admit that the iPhone revolutionized cell phones as we know them today. Before the 1st generation iPhone hit the market, the top selling phone for the past three years was the Motorola RAZR. However, not too long ago, the iPhone and Apple enjoyed monumental achievement by becoming the best selling phone in the third-quarter of 2008. It’s been almost two years since the release of the original iPhone, and only a few months ago Apple released the iPhone 3G. Both phones are still missing some basic features, but there has been an improvement in the latter version. In this article, we will cover the differences between the iPhone 2G (or first generation) iPhone and it’s newer counterpart, the iPhone 3G.

Design and Dimensions

Even though there aren’t too many differences in the exterior of the models, we are going to point them out before we get to the hardware. The screen size is exactly the same at 3.5" on both models, which provides for an ultra-clear 480×320 screen resolution. The rear of the original iPhone has a smooth metal finish with a black strip at the bottom. The front of it has a shiny metal piece that surrounds the side of the phone and ends behind the screen. The iPhone 3G has a smooth piano black or white finish. It also has the shiny metal piece around the outside of the screen. The iPhone 3G features buttons that are made from a shiny metal, excluding the home button. This gives them a sturdier feel compared to its predecessor. The shape of the 3G phone is a major difference as the original iPhone is a little thicker and completely flat when set down. The 3G has more of a round feel to it that flattens out slightly around the edges. It has been said that the screen of the 3G heats to a warmer temperature than that of the original iPhone.

Features & Technical Specifications

Once we get under the hood, we begin to see where the 3G separates itself from it’s older brother. The iPhone 2G only supported WiFi, GSM, and Bluetooth. This means its speed surfing the Internet were quite limited. The iPhone 3G introduced 3G speeds to Apple’s flagship model, and it also supports WiFi, GSM, and Bluetooth. This makes for a better experience surfing, watching Youtube videos, and downloading data onto the phone from the Internet. The first generation iPhone supported the following frequencies: GSM and Quad-Band (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz). The iPhone 3G supports all of those frequencies, but added to the list quite a few more to enable running at 3G speeds, including UMTS/HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100 MHz). The iPhone 3G also supports GPS, which was not included in the original iPhone.

Both phones have a 2MP camera, but do not feature a video recorder. The iPhone 3G weighs 4.7 ounces compared to the 2G’s weight of 4.8 ounces (not a notable difference). The only downside to 3G capabilities is that it eats into battery life. The iPhone 2G beats out the newer version in that regard by providing up to 8 hours of talk-time compared to 5 hours with the 3G.

Bottom Line

Comparing two great phones is always hard, but Apple made a great move by creating the 3G iPhone. The iPhone 2G is impressive, but with the features the 3G provides and the transition with new phones all moving to 3G, it’s a definite requirement if Apple wants to maintain its new status as the #1 selling phone in the US.

Panasonic Toughbook F8 Released and Toughbook T8 and W8 Updated

2008-11-26T17:25:00.000+07:00

Panasonic has released a new Toughbook model as well as updated two of their existing products. The new product is the Toughbook F8, while the models updated include the Toughbook W8 ultra portable laptop and the stylish Toughbook T8 tablet PC. Taking design tips from what Panasonic likes to call the "walking worker", the Toughbook T8 is definitely a contender in the notebook market, with extras such as a stylus, touch screen, and screen rotating software. With a surprisingly convenient rubber hands strap and a 12.1" tough LCD screen, the T8 sports a power saving Intel Core 2 Duo processor, is expandable to 4GB of RAM, is capable of providing 7 hours of battery life, and offers a 120GB hard drive.

It’s sister model, the Toughbook W8, has an anti-glare LCD display that is also 12.1". The main difference between the two machines is that the W8 weighs in slightly less and that the Panasonic Toughbook T8 has the ergonomic hand strap missing from the Toughbook W8. Also, the T8 includes Display Image Rotation software the W8 does not. The T8 weighs about 3.3 pounds, and the Toughbook W8 weighs in at a light 3 pounds. Both machines have exceptional battery life because of the low voltage Intel Duo Core processors utilized.

Both models come with Windows Vista Business pre-installed, but they can also be downgraded to XP if preferred. Both models also come with complete wireless capabilities, including Bluetooth. Pricing on the Toughbook notebooks starts at $2,099. For the durability and power these machines can provide, it’s well worth the money for many users.

As for the Panasonic Toughbook F8, it is proudly branded as the world’s lightest 3G-ready notebook, wielding a 14.1" wide display and an internal optical drive. The Toughbook F8 took a page out of the book of its predecessor, the T8, by adding a handle. This gives it somewhat of a small briefcase appearance when shut. It comes with a DVD burner and a 160GB hard disk drive. Selling for $2,499, the laptop could be irresistible for businesses that require Panasonic’s expertise in designing solid, reliable, and highly durable portable computers.

Super Talent 64GB and 128 GB MasterDrive LX Solid State Drive (SSD)

2008-11-25T10:09:00.000+07:00

Solid state drives (SSDs) are becoming increasing popular, especially as prices drop. Super Talent now joins OCZ in leading the movement toward affordable solid state drives. Super Talent’s MasterDrive LX is available in 64GB and 128GB capacities in a 2.5" form factor. As with other SSDs, the MasterDrive LX offer about five times better resistance to shock and vibration, support a wider range of operating temperatures and altitudes, consume less energy, and are absolutely silent.

To ensure the highest level of reliability and compatibility, the MasterDrive LX underwent SuperTalent’s formidable arsenal of validation tests. The SSD is completely interchangeable with mechanical hard disk drives since they use the same SATA-II 3Gbps interface. Built with NAND flash, these SSDs provide read/write speeds that max out at 100MB/s and 40MB/sec accordingly. The lifespan of the SSDs are significantly lengthened by the integrated ECC, bad bit management, and wear leveling systems.

The 64GB model costs around $179, while the 128GB SSD is priced at the bargain value of $299. The drives a certainly an attractive option for the stocking of a tech-savvy individual this holiday season!

Logitech Z-500 Wireless Speakers

2008-11-25T10:07:00.000+07:00

Most people use laptops to gain freedom from wires and portability. While it’s true that everything is packed into a small, self-contained machine with a notebook, once you start connecting other devices, your battery life runs low, requiring the power cable, etc., sometimes it feels like we’re back to square one. Logitech recently brought out its Z-500 speakers that help clear the clutter by providing wireless enhanced audio. The Z-500 uses high-performance wireless technology so that you can place the speaker just about anywhere in the vicinity and still enjoy quality music, movies, and other multimedia. Utilizing Stereo XL technology, the Z-500 speakers automatically optimize acoustic levels to provide you a fuller, richer sound. The speakers are connected to your PC in the exact same fashion that you connect a wireless mouse - basically all you’re doing is connecting the Z-500 speakers to the computer using the wireless USB dongle that came with in the package.

If you feel like wiring the speakers up, feel free to use the included USB cable. It also comes with an auxiliary input in the form of a 3.5mm stereo jack so you can connect your iPod or other favorite MP3 player to the device. Inside the speakers is a rechargeable battery that can provide up to 12 hours of playing time from a single charge. No software is required, which makes for a ready-to-go solution out of the box. The unit comes with a protective travel case to help keep the speakers safe, whether you’re walking over to a neighbor’s or on a business flight to France.

Lenovo Ideapad S10 10″ Netbook

2008-11-24T10:34:00.000+07:00

The Lenovo Ideapad S10 is a small, efficient, and affordable laptop with a 10" diagonal screen. Smaller laptops are increasingly popular, and Lenovo’s great reputation for quality laptops makes the Ideapad of particular interest. The S10 goes to the market for just $399, making it an affordable option that could be the perfect gift this holiday season.

The Ideapad S10 will be available in five colors, but currently only black and white are available. Red, blue, and pink are the other choices that will be available in the near future. The system weighs around 2.65lbs, making it an ultra-portable well-suited for businessmen, college students, or anyone else on the go. Being priced at only $399, there are, of course, some downsides such as the lower-power processor and 3-cell battery that provides for only 3 hours of usage unplugged. The low-capacity battery is used because of its size/weight so that the overall weight of the Ideapad S10 is minimized. However, we feel that Lenovo should have still offered a higher capacity battery as an upgrade option. The Ideapad keyboard also does not live up to the ThinkPad standard.

As for the notebook’s performance, it uses an Intel Atom N270 processor @ 1.6 GHZ and 1 GB of DDR2 memory. It’s no Alienware, but it does the job for the average user. It can handle around 6 light-weight programs and one or two heavy applications at once. Hard-core programs like Maya, Photoshop, and After-Effects might be too much for the system to handle. The small size of this laptop is something that will catch the eyes of people who love to move around, and its pricing is a great option for this holiday season.

ThermalRight Ultra 120 Extreme Cooler Kit

2008-11-24T10:31:00.000+07:00

The ThermalRight Ultra 120 Extreme Cooler is a large kit that expands on the quality of ThermalRight’s Ultra 120. When you open the box, you’ll find the quite large Ultra 120 eXtreme unit, along with mounting hardware. As with most of Thermalright’s products, the Ultra 120 eXtreme is developed to be used in combinations with just about all of Intel and AMD’s recent models, including Intel’s new LGA 1366 socket to support Intel Core i7 965XE/940/920 processors. If you own an AMD AM2 board, you will have to make an extra purchase of the AM2 back metal plate. Remember that it’s best to check the motherboard compatibility list before making a purchase. From the bottom to the tip of the heat pipe, the Ultra 120 Extreme stands 16.3cm. Being a huge cooler, it is best to also measure from the socket to where you will attach the case side panel, to ensure there’s enough free space before purchasing.

A great function of the Ultra 120 eXtreme is its ability to mount in many different positions, such as facing up, down, to the right or left of the motherboard. This gives you the flexibility to mount it in a way that you can direct the warm air out of the case. ThermalRight’s Ultra 120 and Ultra 120 Extreme do not come with a fan included. This can be a good thing because some users like to purchase a specific fan for their particular needs. Your results can depend on the fan you choose, though, therefore consider selecting a high-end model to match the high-end cooling system. One excellent option that was tested with this cooler is the Scythe S-Flex 800 RPM. The fan, in combination with ThermalRight’s Ultra 120 eXtreme, performed well enough to get within 1 degree Celsius of Thermaltake’s best cooler that was running at 1250 RPM.

The ThermalRight Ultra Extreme 120 is a very impressive cooling system when the right fan is selected. The cooler may be considered pricy since it sells for $60 before buying the fan, but it will be well worth it for many users due to its low-noise and solid performance.

The reason it’s so foolproof and tough is its heavy duty ABS polycarbonate case and silicone rubber key overlay, which makes it also very easy to clean.

The BT-87-TP is fueled by 2AA batteries and the only time it does require a dongle is if your computer does not have an internal bluetooth radio. It’s the perfect tool for industries such as material handling, the medical field, food and beverage processing, and any other environment in which heavy duty materials are required. Unfortunately, pricing information has not yet been released.

KODAK Zi6 Pocket Video Camera

2008-11-24T07:51:00.000+07:00

Kodak has released the Zi6, a PDA-size camera that has the capability to record HD video of the utmost clarity. Consumers can record in multiple modes, including camera photos (of course), HD60, HD, and VGA. The device offers AV and HD ports to facilitate connection to an external display for instant, high definition viewing. When waiting immediately is not required, the content can be uploaded to PC via the provided USB port. It also comes with software that can be used to upload video to Youtube with ease. Kodak opted to run the camera on two AA batteries, of which two rechargeables are included, along with a battery charger.

The controls for the camera are extremely easy and can be learned in a matter of seconds. The Kodak Zi6 uses a joystick - tap once to record, another time to stop, to the left to play a video, and to the right to stop. The setup is great for those not as tech savvy, allowing everyone to use the camera because of its simple control scheme.

The USB port, of course, makes it simple to transfer video and photos to your PC. A Macro mode feature is available that boosts image quality when focusing on something close up. It has a large LCD screen for viewing videos and photos captured. A mirror is also integrated on the back for those who wish to take pictures or video of themselves. The camera also includes built-in speakers so that video content can be accessed with sound immediately after recording.

The camera is an excellent option for those who like to record video on the go, and could make for a special gift to unwrap on December 25th.

SourcingMap All-in-One Music Mouse Pad

2008-11-19T18:25:00.000+07:00

An all-in-one mouse pad may sound like a school science project, but it’s actually a very cool, funny, and useful tool. Created by SourcingMap, quite a lot of functionality is packed into a small area. SourcingMap calls the All-in-One Music Mouse Pad a normal product with abnormal features. It’s not a USB pad that floats or a wireless power source, but it’s a simple, yet effective mouse pad that comes with a 4-port USB hub (USB 1.1 and 2.0 compliant), high-quality stereo speakers, and a microphone. The comical apparatus connects to the computer via a standard USB plug, and also provides stereo and microphone connections. You can choose between flashing blue lights or seven colored lights that illuminate the perimeter of the mouse pad. Like the inside of a nice car, it has all the bells and whistles.

Costing only $37, the All-in-One Music Mouse Pad makes for an affordable, convenient solution for those that use a mouse pad and could use the added convergence features.

Cables Unlimited Wireless USB Adapter Set

2008-11-18T13:38:00.000+07:00

For those tired of not having enough USB ports or needing more positioning options, the Cables Unlimited Wireless USB Adapter Set provides an exceptional solution. It is equipped with the Wisair’s single chip, which allows customers to enable wired USB devices to work with wireless USB. It is true that transmission speeds may not be as fast or reliable as with a traditional wired USB connection, but if you want less cables, additional connections, or the freedom to have a device further away from the PC, this is certainly an interesting option.

The brand new adapter consists of two wireless USB "dongles". One, of course, you connect to your computer, the other you attach to the USB device. One of the most beneficial aspects of the setup is that you can move all of your USB dependent devices, such as external hard drives, printers, CD/DVD writers, and more up to thirty feet away (onto a shelf for example) to help keep your workspace less cluttered. The downside to this is that most USB devices still require a power source, which means you’ll still have to worry about a power outlet connection. One important aspect to mention with the wireless USB dongle kit is that you don’t need to buy a dongle for each device, which would render the solution unsuitable for recommendation. You can connect the dongle to your current USB hub and plug all your other USB devices into the hub to make it almost like a wireless router, for USB ports.

Costing anywhere from $79 to $99 the wireless USB dongle is a positive look towards the future of wireless hardware. It’s a handy item to pick up if you’re finding yourself with a cluttered workspace. At an affordable price, the adapter may become a must-have in the future for tech enthusiasts using the latest gadgets.

SanDisk ExtremeFFS Significantly Improves SSD Performance

2008-11-18T12:48:00.000+07:00

Recently memory giant SanDisk unveiled a method that can be used to achieve a drastic improvement in reliability and performance for SSDs by using an advanced flash file system created solely for solid state drives, called ExtremeFFS. ExtremeFFS is a next generation, patented flash management system. With the capability of accelerating random write speeds up to 100x in existing systems, Extreme FFS will feature in SanDisk’s products in 2009. ExtremeFFS incorporates a non-blocking architecture in which all the NAND channels behave independently, enabling some to write, while others read and collect garbage. ExtremeFFS also offers intelligent learning for user patterns, and localizes data to maximize the products endurance and performance.

Solid state drives do not have any moving components, and since their predecessors (hard drives) speed is measured in revolutions per minute, they needed a way to gauge the speed of an SSD. This fueled the creation of vRPM, virtual RPM. vRPM accurately and easily allows customers/consumers to compare SSDs to HDDs when used in PCs. It has been predicted that SSD net performance next year will be more than four times faster than current solid state drives and almost six times faster than the latest 2.5" HDDs.

In addition to virtual RPM, SanDisk also announced LDE, or Long-Term Data Endurance. LDE simplifies endurance as a useful number, which would be the first actual metric data of long term endurance. You can compare it to measuring tread wear on a tire. LDE represents the total amount of data writes allowed in the lifespan of a SSD. SanDisk believes other companies should take note and follow suit.

When it comes to LDE’s impact on SSD adoption, Greg Wong of Forward Insights said: "LDE provides OEMs a simple way to compare SSDs and determine, based on application usage patterns, which drives are suitable for a particular application. The beauty of LDE," he added, "is that it captures endurance in one single, understandable figure. A common metric is necessary to facilitate SSD adoption moving forward."

Build a website and Construct an apartment

2008-11-18T08:36:00.001+07:00

Step 1: The designer will make a draft for the lay-out of website, so do the architect, he draw a draft for the construction of the apartment. The difference is that the designer does on Photoshop, meanwhile, the architecture works on AutoCad.

Step 2: Both of them need to discuss with the customer and get his/her aprrove for their drafts.

Step 3: Then the customer will require the functions (such as contact form, shopping cart ….) for the website, and the owner of the apartment will suggest infrastructure (such as electronic lines, network, TV cable …. ). In this step, depend on the requirement, the functions of the website and the infrastructure of the house could be very complex. The web designer, at this time needs a team to complete, and the architect needs to ask the 3rd party or sub-contractor. They are still similar, right ?

Step 4: Till now, everything seems to be OK but no, both of the designer and architect will receive the complaints, additional requirements from their customers such as AJAX enhancements, PayPal integrated for websites and Wireless networking, intelligence devices for constructions. Yup, the most difficult time is here, in some case, the web developer need to rebuild the whole website to satisfy the new requirements and the architecture need to demolish some area of the construction also. Both of them would get stress and tired during this period.

Step 5: Yeah, they could finalize in this step and receive the payments from the customers or not (just kidding !).

CyberPower Gamer Xtreme M1 Gaming Notebook

2008-11-18T07:22:00.002+07:00

Recently, Alienware released their portable monster, the M17, easily topping the charts as the best laptop around. However, a few days ago, custom gaming PC builder CyberPower introduced a rival to the M1. The name of the PC is the Gamer Xtreme M1, and this gaming system can stand up to most Alienware machines that have been released. The downside is that CyberPower decided to install a standard DVD burner rather than a Blu-ray optical drive, which seems odd considering everything is moving HD now.

Aside from that, the CyberPower Gamer Xtreme M1 comes fully loaded with an ultra clear 17" WUXGA TFT LCD display which runs at 1920×1200 pixels. Powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme processor, you won’t have to worry about slow operation, or opening too many applications with the 4GB of DDR3 that is also featured. The notebook comes with built-in dual ATI Mobile Radeon 512MB DDR2 graphics cards in a CrossfireX configuration. It also offers built-in bluetooth, a 2MP camera (webcam), and fingerprint sensor. The laptop is presented to buyers with a pre-installed copy of Window Vista.

With Christmas around the corner, this is a great present for gaming enthusiasts. Pricing starts at $2199, and the system is customizable.

It’s a lot lighter than the previous U810. It’s also powered by Intel’s Centrino Atom Z series processor, which provides lower power consumption for a longer battery life, fewer chips, and integrated support for 1080p HD video decoding.

Fujitsu’s U820 comes with an additional row of keys and a new keyboard layout that provides a more QWERTY experience. High-tech security features are included as well, such as a BIOS lock, fingerprint sensor, and a Kensington lock slot to repel physical theft. The HDD is up to 120GB or a 64GB SSD. The screen resolution has been greatly improved with a WXGA display, and you have the choice whether you want to use touch or pen on the screen. Bluetooth wireless and a 1.3 mega-pixel webcam are also provided. The UMPC comes pre-installed with Windows Vista Business or Home Premium.

empty

2008-11-15T14:52:00.001+07:00

Tried to take a picture
Of love...
Didn't think I'd miss her
That much
I want to fill this new frame
But its empty...

Tried to write a letter
In ink...
Its been getting better
I think...
I got a piece of paper
But its empty
Its empty...

Maybe we're trying
Trying too hard
Maybe we're torn apart
Maybe the timing
Is beating our hearts
We're empty

And I've even wondered
If we
Should be getting under
These sheets
We could lie in this bed
But its empty
Its empty

Or will we end up getting hurt
Is this love a myth
So tell me are you in for this
There's so much more than we can see
More than you
More than me
It takes two to believe!

Maybe it's our first mistake
And baby that's alright
It's crazy how we lost ourselves tonight
Maybe it's our first mistake
And baby that's alright
It's crazy how we lost ourselves tonight
There's a reason why they say that we should give it time
But time is not enough
And that's the reason why when you're young you fall in love

And that's the reason why
When you're young you fall in love...

the night

2008-11-15T14:34:00.001+07:00

City lights, like open eyes,
When darkness falls, then we will shine.
Tonight, our world will come to life,
Let sleeping angels lie.
Are we the night? Well I don't Know.

Let me breath in, let me find out, let these epic nights bring us to life,
Cause...
Breath in, let me find out, let these epic nights bring us to life,
Cause I'm up til sunrise
We are the night.

Read the line, to waste away,
The tired eyes, forget the day.
Tonight, our world will come to life,
Let sleeping angels lie.
Are we the night? Well I don't Know.

Here Without You

2008-11-15T14:07:00.000+07:00

A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I've saw your pretty face

A thousand lights had made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles had separate
They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me

The miles just keep rollin'
as the people either way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go

Everything I know,
and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls,
when it's all said and done
it get hard but it won't take away my love

From yesterday

2008-11-15T11:57:00.000+07:00

He's a stranger to some
And a vision to none
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the world

For a fortune he'd quit
But it's hard to admit
How it ends and begins
On his face is a map of the world

From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here

On a mountain he sits, not of gold but of sin
through the blood he can learn, see the lives that it took
From council of one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent

yang terlewatkan

2008-11-14T20:34:00.001+07:00

Kemana kau s’lama ini
Bidadari yang kunanti
Kenapa baru sekarang
Kita dipertemukan

Sesal tak ‘kan ada arti
Karna semua t’lah terjadi
Kini kau t'lah menjalani
Sisa hidup dengannya

Mungkin salahku… Melewatkanmu…
Tak mencarimu… Sepenuh hati…
Maafkan aku…

Kesalahanku… Melewatkanmu…
Hingga kau kini… Dengan yang lain…
Maafkan aku…

Jika berulang kembali
Kau tak akan terlewati
Segenap hati kucari
Dimana kau berada

Walau ku terlambat
Kau tetap yang terhebat
Melihatmu… Mendengarmu…
Kaulah yang terhebat

cahaya hidupku

2008-11-14T20:12:00.003+07:00

Kemarin aku melupakanmu
Kemarin aku tak ingat kamu
Namun engkau tersenyum

Dan kini sampai akhir hidupku
Ku mohon jangan tinggalkan aku
Selalu dekat denganmu
Engkaulah segalanya

Rasa sesal tak pernah datang di awal
Ketika, ketika mata rasa dan kata sudah tak berguna
Teringat satu masa ketika aku terlupa
Terlupa akan cinta yang ada di dalam dada

Aku adalah lelaki yang akan dibenci
Ketika ku sakiti hati wanita yang mengasihi
Dia beri hati kubalas dengan dusta
Dia beri cinta kubalas dengan luka

Aku terpesona dengan wanita berbeda
Terpikat dengan sinar cahaya berbeda
Wanita lain yang belum tentu setia
Cahaya yang tidak akan bersinar lama

Tidak seperti sinarmu engkau wanita pujaan hatiku
Malu ku mengakui kesalahanku padamu
Jujur hati ini tak bisa tidur
Ku siapkan waktu berdua denganmu
Saat dimana tak bisa kuganti dengan hatiku
Cinta yang tlah kau beri tak dapat terganti
Hanya dengan untaian kata maaf dari hati ini
Kau cahaya hidupku

New Toshiba Qosmio X305 Gaming Notebooks Use Triple-SLI with NVIDIA GPUs

2008-11-14T19:59:00.001+07:00

Toshiba is well-known for producing quality consumer electronics, from televisions to laptops. Their latest release is no exception. Weighing in at 9.04 pounds, you probably won’t be carrying Toshiba’s brand new flagship gaming laptop around with you too often. However, for those who like to game on the go, the new X305 gaming notebook is a definite consideration.

This is the first Qosmio X305 notebook release. It is also the first notebook computer to use three NVIDIA GPUs in a tri-SLI configuration. The Toshiba X305-Q708 and X305-Q706 utilize the ultra-modern NVIDIA 9400M integrated GPU and a pair of separate NVIDIA 9800M GTS cards in the SLI. The three GPU setup provides customers the performance needed to run the hottest video games on the market on the highest settings possible, rivaling even most desktop PCs.

NVIDIA’s 9400M GPU is quite new and is featured in Apple’s newly renovated MacBook notebooks. Under the hood of Toshiba’s Qosmio X305-Q706 you’ll discover an Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 processor, 4GB of PC3-8500 RAM, and a 320GB HDD. Both the X305-Q706 and Q707 utilize a 17-inch WSXGA+ TruBright display to ensure the utmost clarity at an adjustable resolution of 1680×1050. The lower-end of the two models, the X305-Q706, retails for $1,999.

The higher end X305-Q708 model carries a designer price tag of $4,199.99. For the extra money, you’ll receive an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300 CPU and an additional 128GB SSD alongside the standard 320GB HHD. Both systems come with a four-speaker, high quality Harman Kardon stereo system and a subwoofer. The X305-Q708 and X305-Q706 also offer ExpressCard expansion slot.

Using Turbo cache technology, both of the 9800 GTS video cards offer 512MB of GDDR3 RAM and up to 1663MB of shared graphics memory. The system is fueled by a 3200 mAh lithium ion battery.

Both laptops are immediately available for direct purchase from Toshiba.

Seagate Savvio 15K.2 Second Generation, 2.5″ Hard Drive

2008-11-08T10:21:00.002+07:00

Seagate’s Savvio 15K.2 second generation, 2.5-inch hard drive claims to be the fastest and greenest mechanical disk drive in the world, with the highest performance and reliability of any HDD on the market today. The 15,000 RPM drive also features a self-encrypting option that helps protect data from being stolen or hacked, while maintaining minimal power requirements with Seagate’s onboard PowerTrim(TM) technology (70% better power efficiency than comparable 3.5-inch 15,000 RPM drives). Power consumption is a major factor for server farms that run hundreds of hard drives since any decrease in power consumption can make a significant impact on the monthly power bill. 146GB and 73GB versions are available. Both variations use the same SAS 2.0 6Gb/s speed interface, which offers 100% faster maximum data throughput and higher signal strength from the previous interface revision. The new interface makes the drive particularly well-suited for RAID configurations, which can yield as much as a 115% improvement for system-level performance. The Seagate Savvio 15K.2 will begin shipping in December, 2008.

Barack Obama

2008-11-08T10:04:00.004+07:00

Barack Obama was raised by a single mother and his grandparents. They didn't have much money, but they taught him values from the Kansas heartland where they grew up. He took out loans to put himself through school. After college, he worked for Christian churches in Chicago, helping communities devastated when steel plants closed. Obama turned down lucrative job oﬀers after law school to return to Chicago, leading a successful voter registration drive. He joined a small law ﬁrm, taught constitutional law and, guided by his Christian faith, stayed active in his community. Obama and his wife Michelle are proud parents of two daughters, Sasha and Malia.

Early Years

Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961. His father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya, where he grew up herding goats with his own father, who was a domestic servant to the British.

Barack's mother, Ann Dunham, grew up in small-town Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs during the Depression, and then signed up for World War II after Pearl Harbor, where he marched across Europe in Patton's army. Her mother went to work on a bomber assembly line, and after the war, they studied on the G.I. Bill, bought a house through the Federal Housing Program, and moved west to Hawaii.

It was there, at the University of Hawaii, where Barack's parents met. His mother was a student there, and his father had won a scholarship that allowed him to leave Kenya and pursue his dreams in America.

Barack's father eventually returned to Kenya, and Barack grew up with his mother in Hawaii, and for a few years in Indonesia. Later, he moved to New York, where he graduated from Columbia University in 1983.

The College Years

Remembering the values of empathy and service that his mother taught him, Barack put law school and corporate life on hold after college and moved to Chicago in 1985, where he became a community organizer with a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment.

The group had some success, but Barack had come to realize that in order to truly improve the lives of people in that community and other communities, it would take not just a change at the local level, but a change in our laws and in our politics.

He went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Soon after, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law. Finally, his advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate, where he served for eight years. In 2004, he became the third African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the U.S. Senate.

Political Career

It has been the rich and varied experiences of Barack Obama's life - growing up in different places with people who had differing ideas - that have animated his political journey. Amid the partisanship and bickering of today's public debate, he still believes in the ability to unite people around a politics of purpose - a politics that puts solving the challenges of everyday Americans ahead of partisan calculation and political gain.

In the Illinois State Senate, this meant working with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. He also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama worked with law enforcement officials to require the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases.

In the U.S. Senate, he has focused on tackling the challenges of a globalized, 21st century world with fresh thinking and a politics that no longer settles for the lowest common denominator. His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent. He has also been the lead voice in championing ethics reform that would root out Jack Abramoff-style corruption in Congress.

As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised, while working to prepare the VA for the return of the thousands of veterans who will need care after Iraq and Afghanistan. Recognizing the terrorist threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, he traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. And knowing the threat we face to our economy and our security from America's addiction to oil, he's working to bring auto companies, unions, farmers, businesses and politicians of both parties together to promote the greater use of alternative fuels and higher fuel standards in our cars.

Whether it's the poverty exposed by Katrina, the genocide in Darfur, or the role of faith in our politics, Barack Obama continues to speak out on the issues that will define America in the 21st century. But above all his accomplishments and experiences, he is most proud and grateful for his family. His wife, Michelle, and his two daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, live on Chicago's South Side.

Foxconn X58 Renaissance Motherboard

2008-11-06T17:24:00.000+07:00

Continuing with the recent announcements of X58 motherboards, Foxconn’s X58 Renaissance offering will boast truly remarkable features. Like all X58 motherboards, it supports triple-channel DDR3 memory, Intel Bloomfield LGA1366 (Core i7) processors, ATI CrossFire X multi-GPU technology, ICH10-R southbridge, etc. However, what makes this motherboard stand out is the unprecedented 4 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots, 14 x USB 2.0 ports, and impressive overclocking capabilities. Otherwise, the motherboard supports up to 24 GB of DDR3-1333/1066/800 memory via the 6 DIMMs, 7.1 channel HDA audio with Dolby Digital Live and DTS connect support, and a 6 phase power circuit for the CPU. This will be one to watch for, especially if you use multiple RAID cards that require x8 or x16 PCI Express slots, in addition to one or more video cards. So far, this is the only X58 motherboard offering 4 PCI Express x16 slots.

here we are

2008-11-06T00:05:00.002+07:00

Sing it for me,
I can't erase the stupid things I say.
You're better than me,
I struggle just to find a better way.

You wouldn't like me.
Keep moving on until forever ends.
Don't try to fight me.
The beauty queen has lost her crown again.

So here we are, fighting and trying to hide the scars.
I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly say goodbye.
The lonely road, the one that I should try to walk alone.
I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly say goodbye.

...goodbye.

So why are you so eager to betray?
Pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up.
So why are you the one that walks away?
Pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up.

Just take a breath and softly say goodbye.

Spesies sama, dunia berbeda

2008-11-01T06:24:00.002+07:00

Pria dan wanita memang berbeda. Bukannya lebih baik atau lebih buruk - hanya berbeda. Satu-satunya persamaan mereka adalah : mereka berasal dari jenis yang sama, yaitu manusia. Namun mereka hidup di dunia yang berbeda, dengan nilai-nilai yang berbeda dan mematuhi seperangkat peraturan yang sangat berbeda pula. Semua orang tahu ini, tetapi hanya sedikit orang, terutama pria yang mau mengakuinya. Hal ini terlihat sangat jelas dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Lihat saja bukti-bukti yang ada! Di negara-negara Barat, sekitar 50% dari pernikahan berakhir dengan perceraian, sedangkan hubungan serius tiba-tiba berhenti sebelum menjadi hubungan yang berumur panjang. Sebuah kenyataaan lagi bahwa : Pria dan wanita dari berbagai budaya, kepercayaan dan bangsa terus-menerus berdebat tentang kebiasaan, sikap dan kepercayaan pasangan mereka

About PHP

2008-10-30T21:06:00.002+07:00

PHP began in 1994 as a series of scripts called PHP/FI (Personal Home Page/Forms Interpreter), and it was written by a fellow named Rasmus Lerdorf to help him manage documents on his web site. Over the years, PHP grew into something more serious. In 1997, a second version of the system came out with additional functionality.

In late 1998, PHP 3.0 was released, leading to a major rewrite of the code and the involvement of two new developersZeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans. The goal was to support progressively broader and more complex applications on the web. In early 2000, version 4.0 was released. Based on a new language engine called the Zend Engine, this version had much better performance and increased code modularity. By late 2004, the much-evolved version 5.0 was released. It included many new features, such as new language constructs, broader web server support, sessions, and additional third-party extensions. Among the new language features was a significantly improved and expanded object-oriented programming model, which this book uses extensively. Somewhere along the way, PHP ceased to refer to "Personal Home Page" and came to mean "PHP Hypertext Preprocessor," a so-called recursive acronym. (The acronym actually forms part of the term it defines!)

PHP is a remarkably productive languageyou can sit down and crank out (yes, that's the technical term) large amounts of code in a short period of time, and this productivity is what drew me to it some years back. With PHP, I was able to put together surprisingly robust and dynamic travelogues of my journeys to various countries with relatively little code.

The one possible "fly in the ointment" is that the language can be quirky compared to other programming languagesespecially if you, like me, come from a background of languages more similar to C/C++, Java, or Visual BASIC. In fact, many of the things covered in this book are the result of my sitting around and scratching my head for a couple of hours. However, after you become comfortable with it, the language proves fun to write and is surprisingly powerful.

hari-hari yang melelahkan

2008-10-23T19:46:00.002+07:00

beberapa hari ini kegiatan kampus telah dimulai...

kira-kira sudah 1 minggu ini banyak waktu kuhabiskan dikampus...

merupakan suatu kesenangan berbagi dengan teman, bercanda tawa dan bercerita banyak hal...

walau letih dan lelah... semua itu aku anggap sebanding dengan yang aku dapatkan...

ikhlas... oh ikhlas...

2008-10-14T20:40:00.001+07:00

Ikhlas adalah kata yang sering kita dengar dan kita ucapkan...

Kata yang begitu ringan dan mudah untuk disebut dan terasa enak di dengar...

Namun, cukup sulit untuk merealisasikannya...

Inti ikhlas adalah beramal hanya untuk Allah semata...

Seratus persen untuk Allah, LILLAAH, bukan sembilan puluh sembilan koma sembilan persen...

Benar-benar seratus persen untuk Allah, murni untuk Allah dan karena Allah tanpa ada yang lain...

Tidak terkontaminasi oleh niat-niat lain walau hanya nol koma satu persen atau kurang dari itu...

Oh betapa sulitnya...

Tidak ada seorangpun yang mengetahui tentang keikhlasan orang lain karena tempatnya di dalam hati dan tidak ada yang mengetahuinya kecuali Allah...

Kita diperintah untuk memperbaiki diri dan niat kita dan bukan membahas niat dan hati orang lain...

Orang yang mengaku telah berbuat keikhlasan berarti dia belum ikhlas dan keikhlasannya perlu di ikhlaskan lagi......

Amal yang tidak didasarkan oleh keikhlasan atau yang ikhlas namun terkontaminasi oleh niat-niat lain adalah amal yang sia-sia di sisi Allah dan tidak berarti sedikitpun, bahkan pelakunya akan mendapatkan hukuman daripadanya...

Oh betapa ruginya...Orang yang telah mengeluarkan harta, tenaga, pikiran, waktu dan lainnya akan menjadi sia-sia kalau tidak murni keikhlasannya, bahkan ia akan mendapatkan hukuman dan penyesalan...

Diantara syarat diterimanya amal adalah ikhlas...

Pelajaran tentang ikhlas dan niat adalah pelajaran yang wajib...

Insya Allah kami akan menjelaskan tentang ikhlas dan niat secara rutin di sini agar kita semua mengetahuinya dan mampu merealisasikannya dengan sebenar-benarnya sehingga amal kita diterima Allah dan tidak sia-sia, amien...

Orang yang paling rugi adalah orang yang menyangka telah berbuat kebaikan yang sangat banyak namun ternyata semuanya adalah sia-sia di hadapan Allah, tidak berarti dan bahkan ternyata ia mendapat hukuman daripadanya...

Allah berfirman: "Dan kami hadapi segala amal yang mereka kerjakan, lalu kami jadikan amal itu (bagaikan) debu yang berterbangan." (QS. Al-Furqaan: 23)

Legend of the Tailed Beasts

2008-10-11T10:20:00.002+07:00

According to some fans, the "Legend of the Tailed Beasts" is an epic story from Japanese folklore which Naruto author Masashi Kishimoto draws from to create the Tailed Beasts in his work. However, it is an example of internet-based fakelore which originated on Chinese websites, some suspect this chinese site.^[1]

The veracity of the legend breaks when it is cross-referenced with non-fandom sources on Japanese folklore. For example, the isonade, which is held to be the Three-Tails in this account, is in fact equipped with only one large, hook-covered tail, and the "houkou" which is actually a Chinese creature called penghou, named as the Five-Tails, has no tail at all. The badger was said to be the lord of all these beasts in the original legend, and Naruto fans have claimed certain Bijū to be a badger instead of it's true form which was a tanuki for Ichibi no Shukaku and a bat for Shichibi no Makumore)

Additionally the author of the story admitted it was not a true legend, unfortunately it has gone largely unnoticed by most fans of the story

Pada saat itu, Itachi sempat bertemu dengan Sasuke. Sasuke yang menyimpan dendam pada Itachi segera menyerangnya dengan menggunakan Chidori, tapi berhasil dihentikan Itachi dengan mudah. Itachi yang menyadari bahwa Sasuke belum menguasai Mangekyou Sharingan segera menghajarnya habis-habisan dan bahkan menggunakan jurus Tsukuyomi untuk membuatnya mengulang hari dimana seluruh anggota klannya dibunuh Itachi terus-menerus selama 24 jam. Pada saat itulah Naruto berusaha menyelamatkan sahabatnya dan membuat Kisame lengah. Kesempatan ini segera digunakan Jiraiya untuk menggunakan jurus Nimpou, Gamaguchi Shibari untuk mengurung Itachi dan Kisame. Mereka sempat kewalahan dengan jurus itu, tapi berhasil kabur setelah Itachi menggunakan jurus kedua dari Mangekyou Sharingan, Amaterasu. Sebelum pergi, Itachi memberitahukan Sasuke alasan kenapa Sasuke tidak bisa mengalahkan dirinya, yaitu karena Sasuke tidak memiliki cukup kebencian di dalam hatinya pada Itachi.

Itachi akhirnya bertemu lagi dengan naruto di part 2. Mereka bertemu ketika naruto sedang mengejar Deidara yang membawa serta Gaara untuk diambil Bijuu dalam dirinya. Naruto bersama Chiyo, Kakashi dan Sakura berniat menghajar Itachi beramai-ramai, namun Naruto terkena genjutsu Itachi dan masuk ke alam bawah sadar yang menyerang Naruto secara psikologis. Akhirnya Naruto berhasil lepas dari genjutsu dan menyerang Itachi yang ternyata hanyalah sebuah perfect bunshin.

Itachi kemudian mengundang Sasuke ke tempat rahasia kediaman Uchiha untuk berduel dengan Sasuke. Itachi menceritakan kebenaran tentang rahasia Klan Uchiha mengenai Mangenkyou Sharingan, yang pertama kali dikuasai oleh Madara Uchiha, pendiri Klan Uchiha. Madara memiliki adik yang sama kuatnya dengan dirinya dan mereka berdua mendapatkan Mangenkyou Sharingan pada saat yang bersamaan, namun Mangenkyou Sharingan dapat berakibat buta bagi pemakaian yang berlebihan, karena tidak mampu melawan kegelapan Mangenkyou Sharingan, Madara kemudian mencabut bola mata adiknya untuk menyembuhkan kebutaan dan menyempurnakan Mangenkyou Sharingan-nya. Dalam sejarah klan Uchiha, setiap anggota klan terus membunuh teman baik untuk mendapat Mangenkyou Sharingan dan mengambil bola mata saudaranya untuk menyempurnakan Mangenkyou Sharingan. Demikian pula dengan Itachi, dia sudah mengincar bola mata Sasuke sejak awal untuk menyempurnakan Mangenkyou Sharingan-nya yang saat ini dihinggapi kegelapan.

Duel Sasuke dengan Itachi pun dimulai dengan pertarungan Genjutsu. Itachi mengeluarkan Tsukuyomi dan membuat ilusi dirinya mencabut keluar bola mata Sasuke, namun Sasuke mampu lepas dari Tsukuyomi dengan kebencian terhadap kakaknya. Sasuke nampak unggul dalam pertarungan Taijutsu. Kemudian dilanjuti dengan pertarungan "Katon-Goukakyou no Jutsu", Itachi berhasil mengeluarkan Amaterasu untuk melahap api Sasuke dan menyisakan mayat Sasuke dari bagian pinggang keatas, namun ternyata itu merupakan "Replacement Jutsu" yang dipelajari Sasuke dari Orochimaru. Sasuke kemudian menggunakan panas Amaterasu dan "Grand Dragon Fire" untuk menciptakan awan halilintar tepat di atas Itachi. Sasuke mengeluarkan Chidori untuk melancarkan HalilintarKirin tersebut ke Itachi.

Itachi berhasil selamat dengan Susanoo yang didapatkannya setelah mempelajari Amaterasu dan Tsukuyomi. Sasuke terpaksa melepaskan chakra Orochimaru yang keluar dalam bentuk Yamata no Orochi. Namun, Orochimaru dengan mudah disegel Susanoo dengan Pedang Totsuga.

Harapan Sasuke yang terakhir pun lenyap. Di depan Itachi, Sasuke hanya dapat berdiri terdiam menatapi jari Itachi mendekati bola matanya. Tanpa diduga, jari Itachi ternyata hanya menyentuh kening Sasuke, seperti yang dilakukannya saat kecil, Itachi kemudian terjatuh di hadapan Sasuke. Pertarungan itu dimenangkan Sasuke.

Sasuke terjatuh di samping Itachi dan dibawa pergi oleh Tobi, yang merupakan Madara Uchiha. Kemudian Madara Uchiha mulai menceritakan kebenaran tentang kehidupan Itachi Uchiha, seorang ninja yang merelakan hidupnya demi Dunia Ninja, Konoha, dan adiknya.

Body of Lies: Betapa Telanjangnya Kita di Mata Mereka

2008-10-11T10:05:00.001+07:00

Apa sih biasanya menjadi daya tarik yang menjual dari sebuah film? Ada banyak, tapi umumnya orang akan menyebut bintang atau sutradaranya sebagai jawaban utama. Maka, dalam poster sebuah film nama-nama itulah yang biasanya ditonjolkan oleh produser untuk memprovokasi calon penonton.

Nah, jika kedua faktor ini saja yang disebutkan, maka film Body of Lies sudah lulus ujian. Silakan masukkan ke dalam daftar teratas film yang kudu ditonton akhir pekan ini. Pasalnya, ada nama Leonardo DiCaprio dan Russell Crowe di sana, dua pemain watak yang bisa menjadi garansi bagi fans yang sudah kenal baik dengan film-filmnya. Kemudian ada Ridley Scott di kursi sutradara. Dua film yang pernah dibesutnya, yakni American Gangster dan Black Hawk Down dipasang pada poster film ini. Seolah-olah menjadi pembanding, jika film laga ini tak akan kalah serunya.

Leonardo berperan sebagai Roger Ferrish, aparat intelijen amrik yang akan menangkap teroris di kawasan Timur Tengah. Dengan keahliannya menyamar, dia mencoba menyusup ke dalam jaringan institusi tersebut. Ternyata tidak mudah, masih ada veteran intelijen (Russell Crowe) yang turut mengacak-acak wilayah operasinya.

Film ini diangkat dari novel yang ditulis oleh kolumnis Washington Post David Ignatius dan diangkat ke skenario oleh William Monahan dengan menarik. Tentu saja, film bertema kegiatan spionase saja terdengar sungguh seksi. Apalagi ini kegiatannya menyangkut hubungan antarnegara. Teroris yang mengacau di negara sendiri saja menarik untuk disimak sepak terjangnya, apalagi yang sudah masuk jaringan internasional.

Di sini penonton diberikan gambaran yang jelas, seperti apa lingkup kerja aparat intel bule di jazirah Arab. Ada banyak hal penting yang patut dicatat. Pertama, sang intel harus bisa berbahasa Arab tentunya. Leonardo di sini diperlihatkan berdialog dalam bahasa setempat dengan fasihnya. Sebuah peran yang unik, jarang-jarang bintang top Hollywood mengucapkan Assalamualaikum misalnya. Dan tak hanya sampai di situ. Idiom-idiom garis keras macam Dar al-Harb (wilayah perang) dengan gamblang disebutkan.

Kedua, dia harus punya segudang keahlian mulai dari menggunakan senjata, piranti elektronik yang canggih dan masih banyak lagi. Termasuk di dalamnya keahlian negosiasi. Ketika bersentuhan dengan obyek yang diincarnya, Ferrish harus bisa berpikir cepat agar bisa selamat. Bahkan jika sampai tertangkap, nyawapun menjadi barang yang murah harganya.

Ketiga, alat elektronik macam apa yang mendukung kinerjanya di lapangan termasuk untuk merekrut sel-sel baru. Gambaran tentang itu tentu saja bisa membuat kita terbelalak. Betapa piranti elektronik nan canggih milik negara adikuasa setiap hari mengawasi siapapun yang diincarnya. Asalkan masih berada di muka bumi, tak seorangpun bisa lepas dari intaian mata raksasa tersebut.

Sekali lagi, bukan hanya para bintang dan sutradaranya yang membuat film ini menarik, melainkan gambaran betapa telanjangnya sosok negara dunia ketiga di mata negara maju macam mereka.

This will always be mine
Wondered why
A purpose, an argument, a smile
You’re my favorite waste of time
Now, I need to survive

All the time
Another corner of my day
Starving for the next delay
Here is all my evidence

This is not for everyone...
Pretends that I am making sense
Wanted you to know

This is where you have to go
And I keep following your days
This is not for everyone...

2008-09-29T15:01:00.000+07:00

Doubts a rise, for moments linger
I try to avoid these questions flooding my mind
I block it out and let you turn it out
Scared to face what you'll find inside

Arrows point in the wrong direction
I walk that road, a sea of reflection

Do you understand me when I think
Will you understand me when I speak
Would you understand if I screamed out loud

Understand, understand, understand
If I could make you read my mind

I stand alone and hold the world, I am.......Misunderstood

hey dad...

2008-09-29T14:59:00.000+07:00

hey dad,
writing to you,
not to tell you that I still hate you,
just to ask you how you feel,
how we fell apart, how this fell apart.

Are you happy out there in this great wide world?
do you think about your sons?
do you miss your little girl?

when you lay your head down,
how do you sleep at night?
do you even wonder if we're all right,
but we're all right, we're all right.

it's been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren't you there the nights that we cried?
you broke my mothers heart, you broke your children for life
it's not okay but we're all right.
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes.
but those are just a long lost memory of mine.
I spent so many years learning how to survive,
now I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive.

The days I spent so cold so hungry,
were full of hate I was so angry.
the scars run deep inside this tattooed body.
theres things I'll take to my grave. but I'm okay, I'm okay.

sometimes, I forgive
yeah and this time I'll admit,
that I miss you, said I miss you

the day that I die...

2008-09-29T14:52:00.000+07:00

One day I woke up
I woke up knowing
Today is the day I will die
Cashdogg was barking
Went to the park and
Enjoyed it one last time
I called my mother
Told her I loved her
And I begged her not to cry
I wrote a letter
That said I'd miss her
And I signed that goodbye...

You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die...

menunggu...

2008-09-27T12:59:00.000+07:00

saat kau hadir dan menggugah hati
kutau detik itu juga cinta kan jadi luka
tapi biarlah
aku tak ingin luka ini hilang
aku ingin menyimpan indahnya luka
agar ku ingat aku mencintainya
aku tak ingin menghapus air mata
tapi ku kan tetap melangkah

night...

2008-09-27T12:46:00.002+07:00

For night...
which have gone and do not be replaced...
thank you...

to the all our whichs have passed by...
with thank to have to embraced...
me in your peace...

thank you for all happy and hurt...
and thank you...
to have to taken care of my heart...

memory concerning you attending...
is always is in this soul, head and my body...
them shall separate and them shall re-meet dark...

your will always is longing for...
memory will attend...
you will always me keep
cheerio my night...
take care of your x'self...
be like me...

take care of your memory in my bottom of heart...

Cultivate your hunger, before you idealize
Motivate your Anger, to make them all realize
Climbing the mountain. Never coming down?
Break in to the contents. Never falling down

My knee is still shaking like i was twelve
Sneakin' out the classroom by the back door
A man railed at me twice, but i didn't care
Waiting is wasting for people like me

Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry coz you're so right.
Don't dry, with fakes or fears.
Coz you will hate yourself in the end.

You say "a dream's a dream"
"I ain't gonna play the fool anymore"
You say "coz i still got my soul"

Take your time, baby,
Your blood needs slowin' down
Breach your soul to reach yourself, before you gloom
Reflections of fear make shadows of nothing
-shadow of nothing-

Still you're blind if you see winding road
Coz there's always a straight way to the point you see

Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry, coz you're so right
Don't dry, with fakes or fears
Coz you will hate yourself in the end

MUSNAH...

Bukan maksud hatiku
acuhkan dirimu

didepan mataku
tapi ku tak bisa lupakan
saat dirimu

membuat diriku terhina

Bukan maksud hatiku

lenyap senyumku

saat kita bertemu

tapi ku tak bisa singkirkan

enyahkan fikirku

diriku terluka

Sakit hatiku

Remuk jantungku

tuk membencimu

Musnahkan cintaku

untuk kita menaklukkan dunia
berlarilah

menarilah dan terus tertawa
walau dunia tak seindah surga
bersukurlah pada yang kuasa

cinta kepada hidup
memberikan senyuman abadi
walau hidup kadang tak adil
tapi cinta lengkapi kita

laskar pelangi
takkan terikat waktu
jangan berhenti mewarnai
jutaan mimpi di bumi

menarilah dan terus tertawa
walau dunia takseindah surga
bersukurlah pada yang kuasa
cinta kita di dunia

THE CHRONICLES OF LIFE AND DEATH

2008-09-25T12:02:00.002+07:00

You come in cold,
You're covered in blood.
They're all so happy you've arrived.
The doctor cuts your chord.
He hands you to your mom.
She sets you free into this life.
And where do you go with no destination, no maps to guide you.
Wouldn't you know that it doesn't matter, we all end up the same.

These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the best day of your life.

And money talks in this world,
That's what idiots will say.
But you'll find out that this world,
Is just an idiot's parade.
Before you go, you've got some questions.
That you want answered.
But now you’re old, cold, covered in blood,
right back to where you started from.

But these are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the best day of,
Today could be the worst day of,
Today could be the last day of your life.
It's your life, your life.

victims of love

2008-09-25T12:01:00.002+07:00

In the beginning, I tried to warn you
You play with fire, its gonna burn you
And here we are now, in the same situation,
You never listen, I never listen
Now I am thinking of a way that I can make an escape
It's got me caught up in a web and my hearts the prey
Do you really wanna throw your heart away, away, away?

Everybody's hurt somebody before
Everybody's been hurt by somebody before
You can change but you will always come back for more
Its a game and we are all just victims of love.
Don't try to fight it, victims of love
You can't decide it, victims of love, victims of love

Now you've back tracked
You're running away cause it just happened again and you don't want it to end
Trying your best to not let yourself go cold, so cold.
Now you think about the things you thought you wanted to say
But when you open up your mouth it don't come out that way
Are you really gonna throw your heart away?

Everybody's hurt somebody before
Everybody's been hurt by somebody before
You can change but you will always come back for more
Its a game and we are all just victims of love.
Don't try to fight it, victims of love
You can't decide it, victims of love, victims of love
You never listen, I never listen
Now I am thinking of a way that I can make an escape
It's got me caught up in a web and my hearts the prey
Do you really wanna throw your heart away, away, away?

HOLD ON

2008-09-25T11:45:00.003+07:00

This world, this world is cold
But you don't, you don't have to go
You're feelin sad you're feelin lonely
And no one seems to care
Your mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bare

But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go thru

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know

Your days, you say they're way too long
And your night, you can't sleep at all
Hold on
You're not sure what you're waiting for
But you don't want to no more
And you're not sure what you're looking for
But you don't want to no more

But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go thru

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking you're one step closer
Don't stop searching it's not over
Hold on

What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead, what are you waiting for?

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking you're one step closer
Don't stop searching it's not over

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Hold on

cemetery drive

2008-09-25T11:36:00.003+07:00

this night, walk the dead, in a solitary stile and crash the cemetery gates.
in the dress your husband hates...
way down, mark the grave, where the searchlights find us drinking by the mausoleum
door, and they found you on the bathroon floor...

I miss you, I miss you so far, and the collision of your kiss, that made it so hard...

back home, off the run, singing songs that make you slit your wrists, it isn't that much fun,
staring down a loaded gun...

so I won't stop dying, won't stop lying,
if you want I'll keep on crying, did you get what you deserve?
is this what you always want me for?

bahaya-bahaya di dunia dan akhirat bagi "seorang pecinta"

2008-09-22T04:45:00.003+07:00

menyibukkan diri dengan mencintai makhluk dan menzikirkannya bisa mengalahkan kecintaan kepada sang Khalik dan menzikir sang Khalik.
tersiksanya hati.
sesungguhnya hati seorang pecinta itu tertawan di dalam genggaman orang lain yang akan mendatangkan kehinaan kepadanya, tetapi pecinta hati itu tidak merasakan kemabukannya. maka, hati sang pecinta itu bagai burung pipit yang ada di genggaman telapak tangan anak kecil.
sibuk dengan masalah cinta dan dapat melupakan kemaslahatan urusan agama dan dunia.
sesungguhnya bahaya dunia dan akhirat itu lebih cepat menimpa orang yang disibukkan oleh masalah cinta daripada cepatnya api melahap kayu bakar yang kering, karena ketika hati sudah dekat dengan masalah cinta dan hubungan yang ada itu semakin kuat, maka dia akan merasa jauh dari Allah swt. dan, ketika sudah merasa jauh dengan Allah swt., maka datanglah wabah penyakit, yaitu setan akan dengan mudah menguasainya dari setiap penjuru.
sesungguhnya, cinta ketika sudah bercokol di hati anda dan membuat malu anda, maka akal pun menjadi rusak, dan terkadang malah membuat gila pelakunya.
terkadang cinta juga bisa merusak sebagian indra perasa, baik merusak secara lahir maupun secara batin. adapun kerusakan secara batin, yaitu karena pelakunya mengikuti hati, dan ketika hati itu telah rusak, maka rusak dan tidak karuan amal perbuatannya. adapun kerusakan secara lahir, yaitu tubuh si pelakunya bisa sakit, hingga terkadang berakibat kematian.
cinta itu merupakan pemborosan dalam diri orang yang dicintai, karena orang yang dicintai akan menguasai hati orang yang mencintai, maka ia akan selalu mengingatnya, membayangkannya, memikirkannya. pada waktu seperti itu, kekuatan manusia akan menjadi lemah dan bisa mengacaukan aktivitas, sifat dan tujuan-tujuannya.
sesungguhnya orang yang sibuk tersibukkan oleh masalah cinta telah menzalimi kekasih dan keluarganya, sebab dia akan melakukan apa yang dikatakan orang-orang.

inilah aku yang sedang jatuh cinta padamu...

change

2008-09-18T20:11:00.002+07:00

Pertemuan dari semua yang berawal dari canda tawa hingga bisa bersatu

Tapi tanpa sengaja dan dengan adanya

Perjanjian yang dibuat hingga tak sengaja juga

Rasa cinta tumbuh dari keduanya tapi tak sepenuhnya tercipta

Hanya kecewa dan sedikit penyesalan dari semua akibat yang terjadi

Hatipun teriris perih dari awal tindakan yang salah

Mencari jati diri...

2008-05-27T20:27:00.002+07:00

Entah kenapa semua ini cepat berlalu dan berubah....perubahan yang terjadi....kemana harus berlari semua manusia....

adalah makhluk kompleks yang pada dasarnya sangat egois dan tak pernah mau mengerti perasaan disekitarnya...biasanya suka membohongi diri sendiri dan orang lain... menyukai hal-hal yang bersifat tabu dan aneh..terkadang membicarakan ataupun mengomentari orang yang sedang dalam kesulitan atau kesusahan tanpa berniat membantu sama sekali... itulah manusia... dan sayang nya...

Sumber bakteri di rumah

2008-01-25T03:00:00.000+07:00

Penelitian menunjukan bahwa rumah Anda mungkin lebih berkuman dari yang diperkirakan. Menurut penelitian terbaru, dari 32 tempat di dalam rumah, tempat teratas untuk bakteri adalah dudukan toiliet, saluran pembuangan dapur, spon dapur atau kain pel, bak mandi dan bak cuci dapur.Sebuah survai menunjukkan, hanya 3% orang Amerika yang berpikir lebih berisiko mendapatkan kuman dari bak mandi mereka dibandingkan tempat sampah.

Telah dilakukan survai telepon atas lebih dari 10.000 orang di seluruh dunia termasuk kira-kira 1000 orang Amerika. Dalam survai ini, sedikit partisipan Amerika yang menjawab "di dalam rumah" ketika ditanya dimana anak-anak lebih banyak mendapat infeksi.

Studi dan survai dilakukan oleh konsil higiene yang didirikan oleh perusahaan Reckitt Benckiser. Para peneliti mengunjungi 35 rumah di Amerika, mengambil sampel bakteri di 32 lokasi di setiap rumah.Berikut ranking lokasi menurut jumlah rata-rata bakteri per inci kuardrat.

Dudukan toilet 3.2 juta bakteri/inchi²

4 Cara membuang toksin dalam tubuh

2008-01-25T02:58:00.000+07:00

Tak hanya mengusir racun dalam tubuh, detoks juga berguna untuk meningkatkan imunitas dan membuat kulit mulus. Bonusnya, penyakit hengkang dari tubuh tanpa perlu ke dokter.

Apa itu detoks?
Merupakan proses pengeluaran racun atau zat-zat yang bersifat racun dari dalam tubuh yang berasal dari ampas makanan yang tidak tercerna dengan baik, zat makanan aditif, alkohol, udara tercemar, bahkan pikiran dan emosi negatif.
Lazimnya, ampas tersebut akan dikeluarkan secara tertatur setiap hari melalui sistem pembuangan tubuh. Sayangnya seringkali proses pembuangan tidak optimal. Toksin pun mulai merusak organ-organ vital dan memicu beragam penyakit ringan seperti flu, sampai penyakit degeneratif seperti hipertensi, stroke, diabetes dan jantung koroner.

Ragam Detoks
Bila kita memiliki pola hidup sehat, proses detoksifikasi terjadi secara alami. Masalahnya tidak semua orang sadar pentingnya mengkonsumsi makanan sehat yang banyak mengandung serat seperti buah dan sayuran. Akibatnya terjadi penumpukan kotoran di usus besar dan detoksifikasi pun perlu dilakukan. (penjelasan dari dr. Samuel Oetoro MS SpGK, dokter spesialis gizi di Nutrifit Clinic).
Tetapi detoks biasanya disesuaikan dengan kondisi tubuh. Berikut ini jenis detoks yang umum dilakukan.

1. Puasa

Detoks ringan dan efektif. Berpuasa memberi kesempatan organ-organ pendetoks (seperti usus besar, ginjal, paru-paru, dan kulit) beristirahat sehingga sel-sel tubuh leluasa memetabolisme zat-zat di dalam tubuh.

Puasa biasa dilakukan secara agama (makan selepas magrib hingga sebelum subuh) atau mengurangi makanan padat, memperbanyak konsumsi air putih dan buah atau sayuran segar yang disajikan sebagai jus atau dimakan langsung.

2. Food Detox

Detoks dengan cara menghindari makanan berlemak seperti daging merah atau produk olahan susu, atau makanan yang terlalu asin dan manis, karena dapat memperberat kerja organ pendetoks.

Banyak mengkonsumsi buah, seperti pepaya, nanas, apel, semangka, melon, anggur, tomat dan wortel yang merupakan antioksidan tinggi yang juga berguna membuang racun selain memberikan zat gizi. Juga sayuran seperti brokoli, selada air, kacang kedelai, kacang tanah dan buncis.

Agar hasil optimal, pilihlah buah dan sayuran organik yang bebas bahan kimia.

3. Water detox

Terapi dengan hanya minum air lebih intensif. Mampu membakar kalori lebih banyak.

Air yang dikonsumsi bukan air biasa, melainkan yang bersifat alkalin atau ionized water, yaitu air dengan pH lebih dari 7 yang bersifat antioksidan kuat sehingga mampu menangkal radikal bebas di dalam tubuh.

Sebaiknya dilakukan di klinik khusus dan dibawah pengawasan dokter spesialis.

4. Colon hydrotherapy

Sisa makanan yang tidak bisa keluar akan dipadatkan di dinding usus, lalu menumpuk, menjadi kerak, dan menimbulkan autointoksikasi, yaitu penyerapan racun hingga terbawa dalam sirkulasi darah. Sesegera mungkin usus perlu pembersihan.

Di klinik khusus tersedia alat khusus yang berlisensi dan tidak memakai obat-obatan. Sekali terapi biasanya membutuhkan waktu kurang lebih 1 jam.

Mengapa Berbisnis MLM ?

2008-01-25T02:50:00.000+07:00

Waktu & tempat kerja yang fleksibel

Bisnis ini dapat kita bangun diluar waktu kerja Anda, dengan kata lain bisnis ini tidak akan menganggu karier dan bisnis Anda sebelumnya. Hal ini memungkinkan karena Anda dibantu oleh sebuah support system unicore. Dan yang paling penting adalah Anda bisa membangun bisnis secara bertahap, tanpa resiko yang berarti, melatih mental, spirit, fisik dan emosi Anda menjadi seorang bisnisman ditambah system unicore yang sudah teruji dan terbukti, Anda hanya tinggal mengikuti saja. Disamping waktu yang fleksible Anda juga dapat membangun bisnis ini dimana saja dan dimana saja. Di rumah makan, di kereta api, di Pesawat, Airport, Station, Mall, di kampus, di kolam renang, anywhere you like.

Terpenuhinya bahkan melampaui semua hukum ekonomi

Para pakar ekonomi menasihati kita agar sebisa mungkin mengunakan modal sekecil kecilnya untuk memperoleh keuntungan yang sebesar besarnya. Kenyataanya tidak ada bisnis seperti itu dijaman sekarang ini. Justru kenyataannya adalah modal sebesar-besarnya untuk memperoleh keuntungan yang (semoga) tidak rugi. Jika ada sebuah bisnis yang perlu modal yang kecil, resiko kecil, tidak perlu memiliki kantor di lokasi yang strategis, tidak perlu menghire pegawai, membuat surat ijin usaha, kita tidak perlu keahlian atau ketrampilan khusus atau pengalaman tertentu. Anda tidak perlu memperhitungkan kapan break even point dari bisnis baru Anda ini, 2 tahun, 3 tahun atau 5 tahun TIDAK PERLU, bukankah itu bisnis yang dianjurkan oleh bapak bapak ekonomi kita?

Tidak adanya diskriminasi

Bisnis ini memang terkenal karena satu hal ini, tidak adanya Diskriminasi SARA, disini Anda akan menjadi keluarga besar Tianshi yang tidak perduli akan agama, warna kulit, suku Anda berasal. Tetapi ada yang lebih penting yang perlu Anda cermati dari diskriminasi yang terjadi selama ini yaitu diskriminasi Intelektual, dibisnis ini kami tidak dihancurkan karena IQ tidak tinggi, IPK tidak tinggi, berpengalaman atau tidak, lulusan Universitas mana, jurusan apa. Dibisnis ini kami tidak memperdulikan masa lalu Anda, yang lebih kami perdulikan adalah masa depan Anda. Kami tidak melihat IPK Anda, kami hanya lihat apakah Anda punya tujuan yang jelas dibinis ini. Karena orang yang sukses adalah orang yang punya impian ditambah kemau yang kuat untuk mencapai impiannya, bukan kepintaran, bukan pengalaman, bukan modal yang besar.

AFTA 2003

2003 adalah tahun dimana AFTA dimulai, artinya pasar global sekala Asia Tenggara. Kabar buruknya adalah pendatang yang akan imigrasi atau mengadu nasibnya di Indonesia nanti bukan hanya kalangan Investor Industri saja, melainkan semua kalangan profesi dan para pedagang. Pertanyaannya adalah apakah kita sudah siap untuk berkompetisi dengan mereka orang orang yang kita sebut ekspatriat. Lalu apa kaitannya dengan MLM ?, dengan banyaknya orang asing yang datang ke Indonesia dari berbagai negara dan berbagai profesi bukankah itu kesempatan untuk menawarkan bisnis ini kepada mereka, yang mana mereka mempunyai jaringan justru diluar Indonesia ?, Anda tidak perlu menghabiskan begitu banyak biaya untuk membuka jaringan di luar negri. Yang paling luar biasa adalah Anda bisa berbisnis dengan siapa saja, dari negara mana saja dan profesi yang beraneka ragam. Inilah bisnis yang paling siap menghadapi AFTA.

Internet / e-Commerce

Di negara yang sudah maju seperti Amerika dan Eropa, bisnis ini dioperasikan online via Internet, Anda bisa mensponsori member baru tanpa harus keluar rumah, Anda bisa melihat jaringan Anda dan bonus Anda, tanpa harus meninggalkan ranjang Anda. Juga bahkan Anda tidak perlu keluar rumah untuk mendapatkan produk yang Anda perlukan. Ini akan terjadi di Indonesia dalam waktu dekat. unicore juga akan terus meningkatkan fitur di website ini untuk mendukung kita.

Potensi yang luar biasa

Konsep network marketing yang paling hebat dan luar biasa adalah MLM, karena beberapa hal dibawah ini:

Hemat Iklan
Adanya pengajaran terhadap konsumen
Cepatnya penetrasi produk kedalam pasar
After sales service gratis
Aman dari pemalsuan
Bisnis dijalankan dengan etos kerja yang penuh antusias oleh ratusan ribu konsumen yang secara teratur menkonsumsi barang yang dipasarkan (konsumen merangkap pelaku bisnis yang mengklaim bahwa ini adalah bisnis pribadinya).
Promosi melalui media yang paling sempurna yaitu kesaksian oleh orang yang sudah dipercaya jauh sebelum berbisnis MLM
Efek pelipatgandaan yang tidak ada duanya (n pangkat n)
Bisnis yang hanya dapat dikalahkan oleh kaum industriawan.

(8 jm/hr X 5 hr/mg X 50 mg/thn X 20 thn X Rp 20.000,- = Rp 800 jt/20 thn
(8 jam X 10.000 X Rp 10.000) = Rp 800 jt/hari

Worldwide bisnis (kapasitas ekspansi)

Banyak orang beranggapan bahwa MLM adalah bisnis remeh temeh, bisnis main main, padahal bisnis ini bisa merambah kebanyak kota, propinsi, pulau bahkan banyak negara, bicara banyak negara bukankah itu berbicara ekspor, bukankah itu namanya bisnis manca negara, seperti Tom Cruise membuat film di Hollywood, tetapi film tersebut mempunyai kans untuk ditonton oleh siapapun dan dari negara manapun. Anda satu hari akan punya jaringan di manca negara tanpa Anda tahu kapan dan bilamana hal itu terjadi. Bayangkan Anda mendapatkan bonus dengan mata uang yang berbeda beda. Saudara inilah Global Bisnis yang sesungguhnya. Sudah saatnya kita mempunyai bisnis di luar negeri, jadilah bisnisman tingkat dunia.

Bisnis yang dapat diwariskan

Bayangkan, Anda membangun sebuah jaringan bisnis yang mana bonusnya nanti bisa dialihkan haknya kepada keturunan kita, baik ketika Anda masih hidup ataupun tidak. Bonus ini akan selalu diberikan oleh perusahaan kepada seseorang yang no rekening yang sudah terdaftar dikomputer titik. Jadi selama perusahaan ini berjalan terus seperti perusahaan Levis, Coco Cola, Mc Donald dll, maka bonuspun akan selalu ditransfer kerekening yang berhak menerimanya. Anda bekerja keras untuk memberikan kehidupan yang layak untuk keturunan Anda tidak sebatas anak, bahkan cucu, dan buyut Anda.

Kita punya banyak waktu tetapi tidak punya banyak uang
Kita punya banyak uang tetapi tidak punya banyak waktu

Impian | Dream

2008-01-25T02:45:00.000+07:00

Apa itu impian?
Impian adalah sesuatu yang benar-benar Anda inginkan baik berupa materi maupun non materi, sehingga Anda bersedia untuk berkerja keras untuk mewujudkannya. Impian bukan sekedar keinginan, tapi HASRAT Anda. Sesuatu yang bisa memotivasi Anda untuk menjalankan suatu usaha.

no meaning

2008-01-15T18:45:00.000+07:00

How I wish I could surrender my soul
She'd the clothes that become my skin
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.

2007-12-29T18:22:00.000+07:00

I don't have a past..I just have a chance..
Not a family or honest plea remains to say...

Rain rain go away..Come again another day..
All the world is waiting for the sun...

Is it you I want..Or just the notion..
Of a heart to wrap around so I can find my way around...

Safe to say from here..Your getting closer now..
We are never sad cause we are not allowed to be...

To lie here under you..Is all that I could ever do...

I see nothing in your eyes
And the more I see the less I like
Is it over yet? In my head

I know nothing of your kind
And I won't reveal your evil mind
Is it over yet? I can't wait

the diary of...

2007-12-25T11:09:00.000+07:00

Desperate, I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love
Die for anyone
What have I become

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break

As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place

So tell me how it should be

Try to find out what makes you tick
As I lie down
Sore and sick
Do you like that?

2007-12-24T03:07:00.001+07:00

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right. Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals and love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you. I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed. I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind.
Hold memory close at hand, Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul. I'm so cold from fear.

And I still hold your hand in mine. In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time, When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover... Goodbye my friend...

Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me ...

Dua kata! hanya dua kata yang ada dalam hatiku saat ini. Aku benci!!!.
Hanya dua kata itu.
Aku benci.
Benci dengan apa yang terjadi.
Benci dengan apa yang aku alami.
Benci dengan apa yang dia alami.
Benci dengan apa yang dia lakukan.
Benci kenapa dia lebih memprioritaskan dirinya.
Aku benci....

Bahkan yang lebih menunjukkan kekuasaan kaum wanita adalah dunia mode, wajar-wajar saja seorang wanita yang bersikap tomboy, malahan untuk orang-orang tertentu sifat ini dianggap menggemaskan dan menarik untuk disimak. Sebaliknya coba saja bila seorang laki-laki yang bersikap kewanita- wanitaan bukan sikap simpatik yang akan dia dapatkan melainkan cemoohan dan pandangan negatiflah yang menghampirinya. Mode-mode pakaian dari dulu hingga sekarang selalu dikuasai oleh pemenuhan selera berpakaian kaum wanita, bahkan kemudian timbul istilah unisex untuk beberapa model baju tertentu yang inspirasi dasarnya dari busana laki-laki yang kemudian divariasi sehingga menjadi busana wanita.

Ada 4 (empat) model atau tipe kecantikan wanita yang masing-masing mempunyai kekhasan sendiri-sendiri.

Yang pertama adalah kecantikan yang klasik, anggun, intelektual. Wanita tipe ini biasanya tidak mempunyai warna kecantikan yang amat menonjol, namun biasanya dari pancaran matanya serta gerak dan lekuk tubuhnya yang luwes dan penuh kelembutan akan memberikan ketenangan bagi yang berdekatan dengannya. Sehingga seolah-olah mereka digambarkan rapuh dan ringkih, padahal sebetulnya tidak begitu.

Wanita adalah salah satu bukti kebesaran Allah SWT, diantara berjuta-juta bukti yang lainnya. Bagaimana tidak, makhluk indah yang sering juga disebut dengan istilah perempuan atau betina (yang ini khusus untuk binatang) selalu menjadi bahan pembicaraan yang menarik, selalu dianggap sebagai sumber inspirasi seniman baik bagi seorang pelukis, penari sampai seorang sastrawan dan yang lebih unik lagi wanita selalu menyuburkan rasa iri yang memang sudah menjadi sifat manusia yang sangat manusiawi.

Pesona wanita sejak dulu hingga sekarang sebetulnya tidak pernah berkurang atau bertambah, hanya tentu saja pada jaman sekarang peranan wanita yang lebih bervariasi dalam pola kehidupan masyarakat, membuat wanita semakin menonjol untuk dibicarakan dan dibahas (terutama oleh kaum lelaki). Membicarakan wanita tidak bisa terlepas dari bentuk tubuh, seksualitas, serta intelektualitasnya. Nampaknya akan terlihat aneh apabila menggambarkan seorang wanita tanpa tambahan komentar khusus mengenai bentuk tubuh ataupun paras wajahnya. Walaupun begitu dari abad ke abad, dari jaman kecantikan khas Nefertiti (permaisuri raja Mesir "Fir'aun") hingga jaman yang sering dianggap sebagai abad "Internet" ini, wanita selalu dianggap sebagai makhluk yang menyimpan berjuta misteri, terkadang terlihat menarik untuk diraih, namun sulit untuk ditaklukkan
