A Bad Week for Google?

By some accounts, this week hasn't been so great for Google. The first bit of bad news concerns sales of Google's Nexus One phone. On Tuesday, the market analytics firm Flurry released a report saying initial sales of Google's Nexus One phone have been slim compared to the Droid and the iPhone. The firm compared sales of those those phones over the first 74 days they were on the market. In a blog post , Flurry says it chose that time period because that's how long it took the original iPhone to sell 1 million handsets when it was released in 2007.

Facebook Responds to Massive Phishing Scheme

Facebook has responded to a an apparently massive attempt to steal passwords from its users. "There's another spoofed email going around that claims to be from Facebook and asks you to open an attachment to receive a new password," read a post on the Facebook Security page. "This email is fake. Delete it from your inbox, and warn your friends." Facebook will never send users a new password in an attachment, the post says.

Is Voice Becoming The New Text (again)?

On a recent episode of the TV show "Modern Family," a character named Mitchell gets in his car and does something that's frustratingly familiar for early adopters of technology:

Facebook Kicks Off Implementation of QR Codes

I can’t see this on my own Facebook profile yet, but we’ve gotten a number of tips in our inbox in the past 10 minutes so it’s safe to assume it’s not a hoax or anything: Facebook appears to have started enabling users to generate custom two-dimensional QR codes .

Taati Etika Berinternet, Yuk!

”Tidak boleh menggunakan komputer untuk melukai orang lain”, itulah isi nomor satu dari ”10 Etika Komputer” dari Computer Ethics Institute, Amerika Serikat. Etika ini banyak diadopsi untuk merumuskan etika berinternet secara umum. Tak ada aturan baku karena etika kan sifatnya tak tertulis. Etika lebih bersifat filosofis. Untuk konteks dunia teknologi informasi, bersifat borderless alias tak mengenal batas negara dan mengayomi semuanya. Bagi netizen, dia lebih tinggi nilainya daripada perangkat hukum yang dibuat negara. Lalu, bagaimana jika etika berinternet atau netiket kita langgar? Hmmm..., pasti kalian tidak lupa, kan? Di Bogor, kasus penghinaan lewat Facebook menggiring seorang cewek divonis bersalah oleh pengadilan dengan hukuman dua bulan 15 hari. Enggak keren kan, gara-gara sembrono di dunia maya, hidup kita dihantui stempel ”narapidana” dalam kasus yang tak seharusnya terjadi.

Google TV Gandeng Intel, Sony, dan Logitech

Perusahaan internet raksasa dunia, Google Inc, tak henti-hentinya berinovasi. Setelah sukses mengembangkan sistem operasi Android, kali ini Google berancang-ancang meluncurkan web televisi atau web TV yang juga berbasis Android. Tak tanggung-tanggung, untuk pengembangan web TV itu, Google bakal menggandeng Intel Corp, Sony Corp, dan Logitech International SA. "Proyek ini akan dinamai Google TV," ujar dua orang sumber yang ikut dalam pertemuan Google dengan perusahaan-perusahaan tersebut, kepada Bloomberg, Kamis (18/3/2010). Nantinya, tambah mereka, Google TV akan menggunakan chip milik Intel. Sedangkan Logitech akan menjadi pengembang keyboard yang bisa beralih fungsi menjadi remote control.

Bintang Porno Wajib Pakai Kondom

Dalam upaya menekan penyebaran penyakit menular seksual (PMS) seperti HIV AIDS, para pejabat di California Amerika Serikat tengah mempertimbangkan penerapan aturan wajib kondom bagi artis film porno. Dewan Keselamatan Pekerja California, Kamis (18/3/2010) telah memutuskan untuk mempelajari lebih lanjut proposal yang akan mewajibkan bintang film porno menggunakan kondom saat beradegan seks. Enam anggota Dewan Keselamatan dan Standar Kesehatan Pekerja California secara bulat menyepakati perintah kepada komite penasehat untuk mempelajari proposal dari sebuah lembaga advokasi AIDS. Yayasan tersebut mengajukan petisi pada Desember lalu untuk mewajibkan penggunaan kondom dalam industri porno.

Pengguna Facebook Mobile Capai 25,1 Juta

Akses terhadap situs-situs jejaring sosial melalui browser mobile terus mencatat pertumbuhan signifikan. Lembaga riset ComScore melaporkan, pertumbuhan akses ke Facebook melalui perangkat bergerak sekitar 112 persen, sementara Twitter meroket hingga 347 persen. Melalui laporan yang sama, per Januari 2010, tercatat sekitar 25,1 juta akun mengakses Facebook via browser mobile-nya, meningkat 112 persen dibandingkan tahun lalu. Sementara itu, pada periode yang sama, MySpace masih cukup kuat dengan 11,4 juta pengguna, meskipun kurang dari setengah pengguna Facebook mobile. Menarik untuk diketahui, akses pengguna Facebook telah melampaui MySpace pada Mei 2009 di ranah Internet berbasis PC. Namun, sebetulnya, situs asuhan Mark Zuckerberg itu telah mengangkangi akses MySpace di ranah Internet mobile tiga bulan sebelumnya, tepatnya pada Februari 2009.

Awas, Blackberry Bikin Lemah Otak

Memiliki telepon selular cerdas semacam Blackberry memang menyenangkan bagi sebagian orang. Dengan Blackberry, aktivitas berkirim email, chatting, hingga berselancar di internet bisa dilakukan bersamaan, kapan saja, dan di mana saja. Namun, tahukah Anda, di balik kemudahan yang diberikan, karakter Blackberry yang mampu membuat penggunanya melakukan sejumlah hal dalam waktu bersamaan (multitasking), itu justru berisiko melemahkan kerja memori di otak. Hal itu terungkap melalui sebuah penelitian tentang kemampuan otak untuk membentuk kenangan yang dilakukan sejumlah ahli syaraf dari New York University (NYU), Amerika Serikat.

Aurat di Depan Sesama Wanita

Tanya: Apa batasan aurat seorang perempuan di hadapan perempuan yang lain? Jika batasannya adalah antara pusar hingga lutut, maka apakah dibolehkan seorang perempuan menampakkan payudaranya di hadapan sesama perempuan?

Jual Beli via Internet

Umumnya transaksi dilakukan dengan hadirnya dua orang yang mengadakan transaksi dan adanya kerelaan kedua belah pihak yang dibuktikan dengan ijab dari penjual dan qobul dari pembeli. Seiring perkembangan teknologi, terdapat beberapa alat yang bisa digunakan dari jarak jauh. Ada yang dengan suara melalui telepon atau dengan mengirimkan salinan surat perjanjian via faks atau dengan tulisan via internet. Apakah transaksi sah meski dua orang yang bertransaksi tidak berada dalam satu tempat? Apakah komunikasi yang dilakukan melalui piranti di atas sudah dinilai cukup?

Pengajian Sembunyi-Sembunyi, Tanda Kesesatan

Khalifah Umar bin Abdul Aziz mengatakan, “Jika engkau melihat ada sekelompok orang yang berbisik-bisik membicarakan masalah agama tanpa ingin diketahui orang lain maka ketahuilah bahwa mereka itu di atas landasan kesesatan” (Riwayat Darimi no 307). Sungguh tepat apa yang diungkapkan oleh seorang ulama sekaligus umara (penguasa) ini. Kita jumpai di sekeliling kita bahwa orang-orang yang menyebarkan pemahaman yang menyimpang biasanya memilih metode dakwah secara sembunyi-sembunyi supaya bisa berhasil menyerat mangsa yang biasanya adalah orang-orang yang memiliki latar belakang pengetahuan agama yang pas-pasan.

FBI Using Phony Profiles on Social Networks to Track Criminals Online

The FBI and other federal agencies are going undercover on Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace and other social networks with phony profiles to gather information and communicate with suspects, according to an internal Justice Department document. FBI agents, for example, have used Facebook to determine the whereabouts of a fugitive. Other investigators can check alibis by comparing stories a suspect tells police with their tweets sent at the same time . A civil liberties group, The Electronic Frontier Foundation, obtained the 33-page document after suing the Justice Department. It makes the document public today on its website. Specifically, the 33-page confidential document says undercover operations are helpful for communicating with suspects and targets of crime, gaining access to private information, and mapping social networks. However, the presentation expresses concern that undercover use may be complicated by the court’s decision in the trial of Lori Drew, who was acquitted o...

The Age of Social Networks

Social networks share a common ingredient in design and intent, the connection of people and the facilitation of conversations, sharing, and discovery. What they do not share however, are culture, behavior, and prevailing demographics . Each network is unique in its genetic and cultural composition and it is for that reason that we benefit by becoming digital anthropologists in addition to new media marketers. Demographics are distributed within all social networks, but only concentrated within a select few. Where specific demographics materialize varies from network to network and as such, the more effective social strategies and tactics are designed to reach target audiences where, when and how they engage . Over the years, I’ve relied on Google Ad Planner to surface the critical demographics in order to construct meaningful and targeted social programming. Pingdom recently examined the data and packaged the results in a visually rich presentation worthy of sharing.

Militants in Aceh Are Jemaah Islamiyah, Say Indonesian Police

Anti terror police searching for Islamic militants in Aceh Besar National Police Chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri said on Tuesday that armed militants on the run in the remote mountains of Aceh are part of the Jemaah Islamiyah regional terrorist network. Bambang said the militants, who have been the target of a bloody three-week police manhunt across the province, had been undergoing terrorist training in Jalin Jantho, Aceh Besar district, before their camp was raided on Feb. 22. “They are all members of the regional Jemaah Islamiyah network, who are most wanted for their role in a string of bombings,” he said. JI is a Southeast Asian network affiliated with Al Qaeda. The group is blamed for killing 202 people in Bali in 2002 and 12 others at the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta in 2003.

Barack Obama Look-alike in Demand in Asia

Striding purposefully, his smile lighting up a rainy afternoon, Barack Obama appears to have arrived here early to tour an elementary school he attended as a boy. But wait. It's not him. The U.S. president is still back in Washington shepherding his healthcare bill toward passage. He's not due to arrive in Indonesia until next week. So who is this guy? He's Ilham Anas, a 34-year-old teen-magazine photographer who has parlayed a striking resemblance to the American president into his own brand of celebrity. Since his sister told him in 2007 that he looked like the then-presidential candidate, Anas' face and megawatt smile have been seen on Southeast Asian TV and the Internet, pitching over-the-counter medicine and other products. He has also appeared on his nation's premier television talk show and had a cameo in a movie, all while fielding offers from marketers across Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. Anas is the first to admit it: He...

Facebook Fed Friends Go Undercover to Keep America Safe

From Wired.Com The next time someone tries to “friend” you on Facebook, it may turn out to be an undercover fed looking to examine your private messages and photos, or surveil your friends and family. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has obtained an internal Justice Department document that describes what law enforcement is doing on social networking sites.

The Changing Face of the Web

The web has long been an important agent of commercial change, and it too is changing fast. iQ asked four “New Web” luminaries for their thoughts on how, where, why, and the likely consequences. Mickeal Remond, CEO of Enterprise Instant Messaging Provider, Process One gave us his thoughts…. “These are exciting times for the web as it sits on the averge of moving on from a basic directory to a dynamic interactive interface, connecting users worldwide. Closed business and social networks will disappear and be replaced by one social network… the web. With communication residing on the web, businesses need tools and applications that enable them to communicate and collaborate in real-time. We’re also starting to see a move away from traditional desktop software solutions to more flexible and lower cost web-based applications, with Google already offering browser-based desktop tools with its Google Apps suite and Microsoft also moving in this direction as it will (soon) be releasing Micro...

Internet Marketing Laws

One constant on the internet is that it never stays the same, changes in the technological features of the internet and the rules on how to best use those features to ones own advantage are constantly evolving. The same can be said about the laws of internet marketing. These laws can successfully be broken down into simple, but important key components that when executed together provide the springboard for internet marketers to jump beyond the distance of competitors and to net higher proceeds that are being made by internet frontrunners. A prominent presence on the internet, a multi-faceted approach, powers behind well designed business websites that have been search engine optimized, submitted to search engines, directories, link exchanges, and more, in an effort to achieve positioning within the search engines and to build a recognizable name for the internet marketer. When this is combined with online marketing that is prominently displayed in as many areas of the internet that ...

Google vs Facebook 'Oh Hell'

Social-networking star Facebook surpassed Google to become the most visited website in the United States for the first time last week, industry analysts showed. Facebook’s homepage finished the week ending March 13 as the most visited site in the country, according to industry tracker Hitwise. The “important milestone,” as described by Hitwise director of research Heather Dougherty, came as Facebook enjoyed a massive 185 percent increase in visits in the same period, compared to the same week in 2009. By comparison, visits to search engine home Google.com increased only nine percent in the same time — although the tracker does not include Google property sites such as the popular Gmail email service, YouTube and Google Maps.

Needle in a Haystack: Efficient Storage of Billions of Photos

The Photos application is one of Facebook’s most popular features. Up to date, users have uploaded over 15 billion photos which makes Facebook the biggest photo sharing website. For each uploaded photo, Facebook generates and stores four images of different sizes, which translates to a total of 60 billion images and 1.5PB of storage. The current growth rate is 220 million new photos per week, which translates to 25TB of additional storage consumed weekly. At the peak there are 550,000 images served per second. These numbers pose a significant challenge for the Facebook photo storage infrastructure. NFS photo infrastructure The old photo infrastructure consisted of several tiers: Upload tier receives users’ photo uploads, scales the original images and saves them on the NFS storage tier. Photo serving tier receives HTTP requests for photo images and serves them from the NFS storage tier. NFS storage tier built on top of commercial storage appliances. Since each image is stored in i...

Securing Your Social Networking Brand

Social networking sites as innocent as LinkedIn and as provocative as Twitter (have you seen my stream?) have now become a personal branding vehicle many professionals. Some of us have had the unfortunate experience of losing a job we barely had thanks to social networking. Others have seen it as the boost to their career they have been wanting for years. Let’s talk about security in the context of the latter. When I moved my blog to a setup I administered, I made two commitments to myself. The first is that I would make frequent backups because there has yet to be a flawless content management system introduced to the market and I could only assume I would have some kind of security problem along the way. The second was that I would pay money to wrap my entire blog inside an SSL stream. My primary goal with forcing all of the traffic through and SSL tunnel was to seamlessly provide a way for me to connect and administer the content from anywhere (like a coffee shop I frequent) wit...

Windows Phone 7 Takes Its Cue From the iPhone

If I were to describe the attributes of a smartphone platform to you, could you guess which platform it is? Let’s try it and see. Here’s your first clue: Applications for it can only be installed through one specific app store. Since everyone has an app store these days, I’ll give you another hint. This phone family doesn’t support storage expansion through small memory cards. That should rule out a few contenders, but let’s take it one step further. The operating system doesn’t allow third-party applications to run in the background, but does allow notifications for these apps to make up for it. Think you know now? If you answered Apple’s iPhone, then you’re technically correct, but there’s a surprising answer that’s equally correct. The phone I am talking about is not an iPhone, but the new Microsoft Windows Phone. The very same Apple attributes are causing some iPhone critics to say “I hate it” are, as Sacha Segan of PC Magazine notes , the same attributes that M...

Mengintip Server Raksasa Milik Facebook

Jumlah pengguna facebook semakin menggurita. Lebih dari 225 juta orang menjadi warga setia facebook hingga Mei 2009. Pertumbuhan tersebut terutama ditopang pesatnya pengguna dari luar Amerika Serikat. Di Chili dan Turki, facebook bahkan sangat digdaya. Sebanyak 76 persen dan 66 persen pengguna internet di kedua negara adalah warga “republik” facebook. Bagaimana di negara kita? Sebanyak 17,78 persen (2,3 juta) dari total pengguna internet juga tergila-gila dengan situs ciptaan Mark Zuckerberg itu. Jumlah pengguna yang besar tentu saja menjadi berkah buat facebook. Sejumlah analis menghitung, di atas kertas nilai facebook adalah 6-15 miliar dollar AS. Tapi di balik angka fantastis itu, facebook juga harus mengeluarkan ongkos sangat besar untuk melayani hasrat narsis jutaan orang. Setiap hari jutaan foto diunggah orang dari seluruh pelosok dunia ke jejaring sosial itu. Akibatnya, facebook juga dilaporkan “ngos-ngosan” membiayai infrastrukturnya. Pada 2007 facebook berutang 30 juta dol...

Facebook’s Insatiable Hunger for Hardware

Facebook these days is doing everything in its power to imitate Google, recruiting the search giant’s sales people, poaching its senior executives and — most importantly — using infrastructure as a competitive advantage. Like Google, Facebook has figured out that the right web infrastructure is the difference between user delight and dismay. And like Google, Facebook is finding out that it isn’t cheap. I’ve been trying to get a handle on Facebook’s infrastructure for some time, but so far have been unable to get the company to open up. The last time I reached out to them, back in January, I was hearing that they had between 1,200 and 1,500 servers, along with storage and switches from EMC Corp. and Force 10 Networks respectively. As it turns out, those server numbers weren’t even close to the total servers used by them. The company is running around 10,000 servers, according to Data Center Knowledge , citing comments made by Facebook VP of technology, Jeff Rothschild, at a re...

Facebook Server Infrastructure

Om Malik reported on Gigaom.com : The company is running around 10,000 servers , according to Data Center Knowledge , citing comments made by Facebook VP of technology, Jeff Rothschild, at a recent MySQL user conference. ( See video of the panel .) Of the 10,000 servers, 1,800 are from MySQL and around 805 of them are memcached servers . In order to house its sprawling infrastructure, Facebook has leased data center space from DuPont Fabros in Ashburn, Va., and Digital Realty Trust in Santa Clara, Calif., DCK reports. How much is Facebook spending on its infrastructure? The company isn’t going to tell us, but there are clues. Server and storage company Rackable today reported first-quarter 2008 sales of around $69 million. Facebook is one of its largest customers, accounting for around 10 percent of Rackable’s sales (that number could be higher, but we’ll have to wait for Rackable’s 10-Q to get a clearer picture), so some quick, back-of-the-envelope math reveals $7 million in ...

Waspadalah Pengguna Facebook, Server Koobface Melonjak

Bila anda aktif mengakses situs-situs jejaring sosial seperti Facebook dan Twitter waspadalah terhadap worm bernama Koobface. Perusahaan antivirus Kaspersky memperingatkan kebangkitan Koobface dalam dua pekan terakhir. Dalam dua pekan terakhir tim peneliti dari Kaspersky Lab terus memantau Koobface. Mereka menemukan angka penurunan jumlah server Koobface dari 107 pada 25 Februari ke 71 pada 8 Maret. Tapi dalam 48 jam kemudian, angkanya malah melonjak menjadi 142. Menurut analis dari Kaspersky, hasil pengamatan tersebut membuktikan bahwa pemilik Koobface terus menangani infrastrukturnya. "Mereka tak ingin jumlah server turun terlalu banyak karena itu berarti kehilangan kendali atas botnet," ujar Stefan Tanase, Senior Regional Researcher Kaspersky Lab EEMEA.

Jumlah Server Facebook Menembus Angka 30.000 Server

Tahukah Anda berapa banyak jumlah server yang di miliki oleh jejaring sosial Facebook sekarang ini? beberapa ada yang berpendapat Facebook mempunyai 10.000 server pada April 2008 Dengan jumlah Server tersebut bisa menangani hampir 300 juta pengguna Facebook, namun akhir-akhir ini vice president Facebook Jeff Rothschild mengatakan bahwa Facebook sekarang ini menggunakan 30.000 server agar Facebook dapat berjalan normal. Rothschild mengatakan akan tetap terus menambah server facebook bilamana pengguna Facebook terus bertambah setiap harinya, ia juga mengatakan jumlah server Facebook masih jauh dibandingkan dengan Rackspace , 1&1 Internet dan OVH yang jumlah servernya mencapai 50.000 server.

Hi5 Social Network Gets Game

Hi5 is getting in touch with its inner gamer. After a multiyear struggle to keep users from defecting to rivals, the social network is reinventing itself as a social gaming and entertainment site. Founded in 2003, hi5 will keep letting users interact with friends and family. It will also place greater emphasis on such games as pool, bingo, and Demolition City, which involves blowing up buildings around the world. Many of the pastimes include purchasing so-called virtual goods, in-game products that help a player accomplish tasks and graduate to higher levels.

First Dot-com Celebrates 25th Birthday

Exactly 25 years ago, on March 15 1985, computer manufacturer Symbolics, Inc registered the first .com web domain ever: symbolics.com. By today’s design standards, and considering how web sites looked back in the late eighties and early nineties, it’s quite decent, although a bit short on content. However, its content and even the (now defunct) company that registered it are far less important than the boom it ignited: in 1997, one million .com web domains were registered, and in 2000 the dot-com bubble peaked, resulting in an inevitable meltdown.

Facebook Opening Operations Office in India

Social networking site Facebook is opening an operations office in India, its first in Asia, to help manage rapid growth in the number of users. The office, in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad, will have advertising and developer support teams, the company said Monday. It will supplement Facebook's other centers in Palo Alto, California; Dublin, Ireland; and Austin, Texas. The move is part of a push to create support centers across time zones, with round-the-clock, multilingual support, the company said. The number of Facebook users has rocketed to over 400 million since it was founded in 2004. Seventy percent of users are now outside the U.S. and use the site in over 70 languages, Don Faul, director of global online operations, said in his blog Monday. "In India alone, we've seen rapid growth and now have more than 8 million people there actively connecting on Facebook," he said.

iPad is Coming, April 3, 2010

Yes, that's the email subject that I received from Apple, so this is a trusted news. iPad is the latest innovation from Apple which many people talk about it because its unique. Well, Apple always makes a unique product. With a device called the iPad you are watching videos, listening musics, reading news online, working with iWork, read the iBook, calendar, manage contacts, create a prensentation, and many more. Only with a gadget so thin.

Karyawan Microsoft Sembunyi-sembunyi Pakai iPhone

Karyawan Microsoft juga manusia biasa. Sebagian mereka juga ada yang tertarik menggunakan iPhone, tapi mereka kini harus sembunyi-sembunyi. Soalnya, CEO Microsoft Steve Ballmer tak suka karyawannya memakai ponsel selain yang berbasis Windows. Microsoft memang sendiri secara resmi menantang iPhone dengan meluncurkan Windows Phone 7 da menggandeng beberapa produsen.

Pegawai Pentagon Belajar Retas Komputer Sendiri

Departemen Pertahanan Amerika Serikat di Pentagon melatih pegawainya agar bisa meretas atau meng-hack jaringan komputer mereka sendiri. "Untuk mengalahkan peretas, Anda harus berpikir seperti mereka," kata Jay Bavisi, Presiden International Council of Electronic Commerce Consultants atau EC-Council seperti yang dikutip CNN. EC-Council adalah salah satu perusahaan yang dipilih oleh Pentagon untuk mengawasi pelatihan para pekerja Departemen Pertahanan (Dephan) Amerika Serikat (AS) yang berhubungan dengan keamanan komputer dan memberikan sertifikat ketika pelatihan itu selesai.

Blogger Rusia Bersekutu Lawan Koruptor

Warga Rusia percaya kalau pemerintahnya sangat menjaga segala sesuatu yang berbau kemewahan. Tapi ketika kementerian dalam negeri Rusia mengumumkan rencana untuk membeli tempat tidur emas, sejumlah lapisan langsung melakukan kecaman. Disaat media yang dimiliki segelintir kelompok tertentu terlihat mengalihkan isu negara tersebut ke arah lain, maka sekelompok orang yang menyebut dirinya sebagai blogger menantang para birokat korup tersebut, bukan dengan senjata melainkan guratan pena. Rata-rata blog mereka secara tak terduga telah menarik popularitas, yang mencerminkan kemarahan mendalam karena perilaku pejabat dalam pemerintahan Perdana Menteri Vladimir Putin.

Ito: Umar Patek Jadi Trainer Aceh

Kabareskrim Polri, Komjend Pol Ito Sumardi mengatakan ada kemungkinan DPO Polri, Umar Patek, menjadi trainer di Aceh. Menurutnya, pengalaman Patek menjadi pelatih di Mindanao memperbesar kemungkinan tersebut. "Menurut fakta-fakta, keterangannya dia adalah pelatih disana jadi semua bisa saja,"ujar Ito usai mengikuti apel penutupan latihan bersama penanggulangan teroris di Lanud Halim Perdanakusumah, Senin (15/3). Hanya, Ito mengatakan, polisi belum memiliki keyakinan mengenai dimana keberadaan Umar Patek. Menurutnya, hingga saat ini belum ada kepastian dimana keberadaan Patek. "Seperti ketika Dulmatin ditemukan, kita temukan di Pamulang setelah itu kita kembangkan. tadinya sebelumnya kita belum yakin Dulmatin itu. setelah dilakukan uji forensik kita yakin dulmatin," tuturnya.

Waspada, Serbuan Program Jahat ke Facebook dan Twitter

Perusahaan keamanan internet Kaspersky Lab memperingatkan adanya gelombang serangan Koobface, sebuah worm yang sangat produktif menginfeksi situs jejaring sosial. Sasaran program jahat ini adalah situs-situs seperti Facebook dan Twitter. Program-program jahat tersebut juga menggunakan website sah yang dikompromikan sebagai perwakilan untuk komando dan kontrol utama server. Selama dua minggu terakhir ini, para tim peneliti Kaspersky Lab telah mengamati server Koobface live C&C dimatikan atau dibersihkan rata-rata tiga kali per hari. Jumlahnya terus menurun, dari 107 pada tanggal 25 Februari, ke level 71 pada tanggal 8 Maret. Kemudian, hanya dalam 48 jam jumlah tersebut berkembang dari 71 menjadi 142, menaikkan jumlah totalnya tepat dua kali lipat, dimana semua komputer yang terinfeksi Koobface mendapatkan perintah dan update dari jarak jauh.

Kecepatan Lidah Bunglon

Buku-buku teks zologi menjelaskan bahwa lidah balistik bunglon diperkuat oleh seutas otot pemercepat (akselerator). Otot ini memanjang ketika menekan ke bawah pada tulang lidah, yang berupa tulang rawan kaku di tengah lidah, yang membungkusnya. Akan tetapi, dalam sebuah penelitian yang telah disetujui untuk diterbitkan oleh majalah ilmiah Proceedings of the Royal Society of London (Series B), dua ahli morfologi yang memelajari kebiasaan makan bunglon menemukan unsur-unsur lain yang terkait dengan gerakan cepat lidah binatang ini. Kedua peneliti Belanda ini, Jurriaan de Groot dari Universitas Leiden, dan Johan van Leeuwen dari Universitas Wageningen, mengambil film-film sinar X berkecepatan tinggi, yakni 500 bingkai per detik, dalam rangka menyelidiki bagaimana lidah bunglon bekerja ketika menangkap mangsa. Film-film ini menunjukkan bahwa ujung lidah bunglon mengalami percepatan 50 g (g = konstanta gravitasi). Percepatan ini lima kali lebih besar daripada yang dapat dicapai oleh ...

Salah Satu Penyebab Twitter Error

Their words, not mine. I’ve mostly stopped bothering to post when Twitter is down like it is now and like it was yesterday (honestly, it’s news when they keep the site live for 24 hours at this point). But, seriously, they need to get their act together. It’s past embarrassing. Rumor is they’ve closed their big round of funding and things are all high fives over there, but much more of this and people aren’t just going to talk about bailing on the service for something new , they’re really going to do it (yes, even me ).

Wanita Jadi Perekrut Teroris di Internet

Seorang wanita asal Pennsylvania yang dikenal dengan “Jihad Jane” telah ditahan dan didakwa atas tuduhan percobaan perekrutan pejuang Islam, dan atas rencana pembunuhan terhadap seorang kartunis asal Swedia, Lars Vilks, dimana kepalanya dinilai $100 ribu yang membuat gambar Nabi Muhammad dengan gambar anjing. Walaupun pihak polisi tidak percaya bahwa dia memiliki hubungan dengan grup teroris, namun polisi menemukan bukti email di Maret 2009 yang berisi instruksi pada seseorang di Asia Selatan untuk membunuh seorang anonim berkebangsaan Swedia. Wanita Pennsylvania tersebut juga dituduh atas penggunaan Internet untuk merekrut jihadis. Colleen R. LaRose (46) dideskripsikan sebagai seorang ibu rumah tangga, atau juga dikenal dengan nama "Fatima Rose" atau “Jihad Jane”. Colleen R. LaRose juga diindikasikan berkonspirasi untuk menyediakan support material ke teroris dan berkonspirasi untuk melakukan pembunuhan di negara asing. Ia juga didakwa atas pernyataan yang mengecam pemerin...

Inilah Respon dari Hati Wanita Kepada Pria

Penasaran, udah pedekate ke cewek tapi ko adem adem ya? Memang sudah menjadi sifat lelaki sebagai pemburu, suka mengejar buruannya. Tapi mungkin agak sulit juga, ketika wanita yang diburu belum memberi respon, apakah senang atau tidak dengan tindakan si lelaki. Ini dia kira-kira tanda respon dari para wanita : Pria sering kasih perhatian Jika wanita tertarik : “Aduuh jadi tersanjung, dikasih perhatian terus ma dia, wah cowok itu baik banget.” Jika tidak tertarik : “Aih, dah kayak polisi aja sih, ditanya-tanya terus tiap hari. Aku mau begini begitu, ya urusan aku dong. Ga usah tanya macem-macem kenapa.”
