Save Time on Your Computer

It’s happened to us all: You’re on the computer paying bills, organizing car pools or doing any sort of work, then you drift over to Flickr, Twitter, or your friend’s blog, and before you know it, HOURS have passed! When I’m home at night trying to be productive on my computer—or even offline, sorting through mail—I certainly lose concentration with Facebook’s help. But, distractions no more! The other day I learned about this really neat site: RescueTime.com . Right on its homepage, it states: “On average, RescueTime recovers 3 hours and 54 minutes worth of productive time per week per person.” How it works: First of all, it tracks your computer usage, letting you see which sites soak up most of your time and identifying trends where you start to go idle and lose focus on the document you have open. My favorite part is that you can have the system “nudge” you when you get distracted, or even downright block you (at your request, of course) from websites that steal your focus. Imagin...

Blogger Arab Pacaran Lewat Facebook

Banyak jalan menuju Roma. Begitu juga dengan banyak cara remaja di lingkungan konservatif yang membatasi kontak pria dan wanita bisa berinteraksi bebas. Di Arab Saudi situs jejaring sosial bisa menerobos aturan itu. Eman Al Nafjan, blogger perempuan dan dosen yang tinggal di Riyadh mengatakan beberapa tahun lalu seorang pria muda yang kesepian harus mengejar perempuan Saudi, kebanyakan menggunakan jilbab hitam panjang sampai kaki (sering disebut abayas) sambil terus berharap mendapatkan nomor telepon mereka. “Adanya aturan yang sangat ketat antar gender, sehingga pria menjadi sangat putus asa,” kata Eman Al Nafjan. “Namun, keadaan ini mulai menurun sejak ada internet. Mereka tidak terlalu putus asa karena ada cara lain untuk berhubungan.” Berdasarkan data Arab Media Outlook yang merupakan penelitian hasil kerja sama Dubai Press Club dan Nielsen Media Research terungkap bahwa 70% pengguna internet di negara kerajaan itu mengunakan situs jejaring sosial. Sementara Facebook menjadi ...

Microsoft dan Facebook Dituduh Sebabkan Global Warming

Greenpeace telah menuduh Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google dan sejumlah perusahaan teknologi lainnya atas kontribusi meningkatnya pemanasan global (global warming). Menurut report dari Greenpeace, yang berjudul "Make IT Green: Cloud Computing and its Contribution to Climate Change", mengingatkan bahwa pusat data dari komputasi cloud, termasuk Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, dan sebagainya dalam bagian yang besar dapat menghabiskan bahan bakar batubara sehingga menyebabkan global warming. Greenpeace menuduh bahwa perusahaan teknologi tersebut tidak membuat pusat data yang menggunakan energy alternative, atau membuat perubahan policy. Sebelumnya, Greenpeace juga mengkritik Facebook atas pembelian listrik untuk data center yang menggunakan lebih banyak bahan batubara daripada sebelumnya. Greenpeace kemudian membentuk grup di Facebook untuk menghentikan penggunaan batubara secara berlebihan. Pernyataan tersebut juga diakui oleh Facebook, namun Facebook mengatakan menggunak...

Facebook Ganti Fitur untuk Fan Pages

Facebook kini telah membuat cara baru untuk koneksi user ke situs tersebut. Kini bukan lagi sebuah tombol bertuliskan “become of fan” di perusahaan seperti contoh Starbucks, Facebook akan memudahkan user untuk mengklik tombol “like” brand tersebut. Banyak pengguna yang suka mengklik komentar atau gambar yang diposting di situs tersebut, dan hal tersebut dua kali lebih banyak ketimbang mereka mengklik “become a fan”, menurut Facebook. Pebisnis yang menggunakan Facebook Pages, yang gratis mereka buat untuk terhubung dengan pelanggan dan untuk mempromosikan brand mereka. “Ide menyukai (liking) brand tersebut terkesan lebih natural dibandingkan ‘becoming a fan’ brand. “ ungkap Michael Lazerow, CEO Buddy Media, yang membantu perusahaan membangun brand dan periklanan mereka di situs jejaring social seperti Facebook.

PC Maker, Inspiration for Microsoft Dies in Ga.

Dr. Henry Edward Roberts, a developer of an early personal computer that inspired Bill Gates to found Microsoft, died Thursday in Georgia. He was 68. Roberts, whose build-it-yourself kit concentrated thousands of dollars worth of computer capability in an affordable package, inspired Bill Gates and his childhood friend Paul Allen to come up with Microsoft in 1975 after they saw an article about the MITS Altair 8800 in Popular Electronics. Roberts, an ex-military man, later went on to careers as a farmer and a physician, but continued to keep up with computer advances: He recently told Gates he hoped to work with new, nanotechnology-enhanced machines, according to son David Roberts. "He did think it was pretty neat, some of the stuff they're doing with the processors," said David Roberts, who confirmed Gates rushed to Georgia Friday to be with his mentor. Roberts died in a Macon hospital after a long bout with pneumonia, according to his family.

Will You Self-Censor for Social Media?

You may have noticed that WebWorkerDaily now publishes many of its authors’ tweets beside their articles. The syndication of contractors’ and employees’ tweets like this is becoming more common as everyone from fitness instructors to real estate agents seeks to take advantage of social media’s personal branding possibilities. If your tweets haven’t been syndicated yet, that day may not be far away. When it comes, you’ll probably need to decide whether you’re going to self-censor for the benefit of whoever’s paying your invoices. What will you do? A Matter of Perspective One thing that can definitely be said for social media is that they allow users to express themselves freely, and as users, we relish such unrestricted opportunities. For many, social networks may provide the only opportunity to engage online with a broader “public” completely as ourselves. The problem is that those who want to syndicate your tweets — to give you wider exposure, to help you engage with t...

Avoid “Man-in-the-Middle” Attacks With Perspectives

The Perspectives Firefox Extension is a useful free add-on for Firefox that improves the usability of the browser and provides an additional layer of security when connecting to sites using SSL. When you use a protocol like SSL to connect to a secure web site, your communication with that site is vulnerable to a “ man-in-the-middle ” attack unless you’re able to identify the remote server in a secure manner. Most sites can be securely identified because they buy a certificate from a Certificate Authority like VeriSign. Unfortunately, as certificates can be expensive and tricky to administer, some sites prefer to self-certify, and some have expired certificates. Attempting to connect to one of these sites will lead to Firefox issuing the “Website Certified by Unknown Authority” warning that you’ve probably seen many times: Have you ever just clicked “OK” to accept a certificate without checking it out? Most of the time, it’s probably fine, but you could be leaving yo...

9 Reasons Why Google Apps is “Telework in a Box”

I’ve recently been thinking about how Google Voice , Google Wave and Google Buzz joining the full Google Apps lineup would make it a budget-friendly teleworking platform. Organizations can now literally purchase themselves a “telework in a box” solution — a complete office productivity software, communications and collaboration package — with little or no requirement for support from their own technical staff. Here are some reasons why Google Apps might be your organization’s ideal telework platform: Low operating costs. Google Apps Premier Edition included everything and costs $50 per user per year. It can release you from software licensing costs and free up some of your internal technical staff from having to support telework applications, though you’ll still have to factor in some administrative and support time to provision and maintain remote users. Lower hardware costs. Outfitting teleworkers with hardware can be a major expense, especially if your organization isn’t...

5 Things That Don’t Work on Facebook Pages

Should you have a Facebook Page ? Before integrating Facebook Pages (sometimes called “Facebook Fan Pages”) into your social media marketing mix, you need to think strategically. Georgina provided a basic overview of the need for strategy in “ Businesses and the Social Media Trap ,” and I ranted about the problem of not understanding strategy in the first place in “ It’s the Social Media Strategy Struggle .” This week, I want to discuss why people become fans of Facebook Pages in the first place. I’ll follow that with some thoughts on what doesn’t really work on Pages. After that, I’ll list some things that I believe do work, based on personal and professional experience, industry news and anecdotal information. I am surprised by the number of Facebook Pages that are popping up marketing what I would consider to be pretty “unmarketable” things for a Facebook audience. Let’s face it: Not everything should be marketed using every new cool tool on the block. Facebook Pages have spec...

Fungsi dan Keandalan Dari Proxy

Facebook May Share User Data With External Sites Automatically

Imagine visiting a website and finding that it already knows who you are, where you live, how old you are and who your Facebook friends are, without your ever having given it permission to access that information. If you're logged in to Facebook and visit some as yet unnamed "pre-approved" sites around the web, those sites may soon have default access to data about your Facebook account and friends, the company announced today . Barry Schnitt, Senior Manager, Corporate Communications and Public Policy at Facebook, told us in an email that "the right way to think about this is not like a new experience but as making the [Facebook] Connect experience even better and more seamless." There will be new user controls made available, but this is a new experience: this makes Facebook Connect opt-out instead of opt-in. The proposed change was first written about by Jason Kincaid on TechCrunch, who called it Facebook's Plan To Automatically Share Your D...

Apple to Introduce Two New iPhone

Apple is working two new CDMA iPhones and one of them is supposed to be introduced in the market this summer. Carriers other than AT & T will be able to sell the gadget. The wireless network CDMA is used by the companies like Verizon and Sprint. But, AT & T and most of the global carriers use GSM technology. AT&T has over 43% smart-phone customers in US, compared with 23% customers for Verizon. Additionally, Apple plans to bring a new version of its current iPhone this summer. The model is expected to be thinner and have a faster processor, two people familiar with the device said. Some people of the company outlined that the new GSM iPhone will be manufactured by Taiwanese contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., that produced Apple's previous iPhones. The CDMA iPhone model will be made by Pegatron Technology Corp., the subsidiary of Taiwan's ASUSTeK Computer Inc., said these people. Pegatron is scheduled to produce CDMA iPhones in September.

The update for Internet Explorer is cumulative as it contains nine additional vulnerability fixes that all were supposed to be released on Microsoft’s monthly patch Tuesday on April 13.

Steve Jobs, CEO Paling Disegani di Dunia

Steve Jobs pantas berbangga hati karena disebut sebagai Chief Executive Officer (CEO) paling disegani di dunia. Apa alasannya? Bos Apple itu memuncaki daftar '30 CEO Paling Disegani' yang dilansir majalah finansial Amerika, Barron. Daftar ini dibuat dengan mengidentifikasi kekuatan CEO dalam membawa perusahaan bertahan di tengah gonjang-ganjing keuangan dan bahkan sukses melakukan ekspansi bisnis. "Sepertinya CEO yang paling berharga di dunia adalah Steve Jobs dari Apple. Hal ini tampak dari gejolak harga saham saat pemberitaan tentang masalah kesehatannya," tulis Barron. "Apple baru-baru ini mencetak rekor, dengan nilai pasar mencapai US$200 miliar, cerminan kepercayaan diri bahwa kesehatan Jobs mampu membawa Apple menjadi pemimpin permainan," tambah Barron.

The search giant in February said it would build an experimental fiber optic network in an attempt to illustrate the art of the possible in a small number of communities in the U.S. Since that news, Google has been pitched by 600 responses from communities. Individuals also chimed in. Now the requests for information are about over, Google will make a selection.

As we narrow down our choices, we’ll be conducting site visits, meeting with local officials and consulting with third-party organizations. Based on a rigorous review of the data, we will announce our target community or communities by the end of the year.

Sejarah Huruf Alfabet

Istilah alphabet sebetulnya berasal dari bahasa Semit. Istilah ini terdiri dari dua kata, yaitu aleph yang berarti 'lembu jantan' dan kata beth yang berarti 'rumah'. Konotasi pictografis dari pengertian kedua kata ini menjadi sebutan untuk menunjukkan huruf pertama a (aleph) dan b (beth) dalam urutan huruf-huruf semit (Mario Pei,1971:176). Ini bukan berarti bahwa tulisan tersebut memakai sistem pictografis-ideografis, akan tetapi malah sebaliknya. Orang-Orang Semit mengambil tanda gambar lembu (kepala lembu) dari huruf Hierogliph Mesir tanpa memperdulikan pengertian lembu itu dalam bahasa Mesir sendiri, sedangkan menurut bahasa Semit, lembu itu disebut aleph. Demikian juga dengan tanda gambar rumah yang mereka sebut beth. Kemudian dengan mempergunakan prinsip akroponi, tanda gambar kepala lembu, oleh masyarakat Semit dijadikan tanda untuk bunyi a dan tanda gambar rumah untuk bunyi b. Semua huruf pada alphebt Semit mempunyai konotasi seperti pictografis itu. Daerah y...

UU Pers Hanya Untuk Pers Profesional

Anggota Dewan Pers, Agus Sudibyo, menegaskan bahwa penerapan Undang-Undang Nomor 40 Tahun 1999 tentang Pers hanya untuk pers profesional dan berkerja sesuai aturan Kode Etik Jurnalistik (KEJ). "Di luar itu, sepertinya tidak perlu diterapkan," ujarnya dalam seminar kebebasan pers bertema "Membuka Akses Keadilan Melalui Peningkatan Kapasitas Jurnalis" di Padang, Minggu. Saat ini, kata dia, makna kebebasan pers banyak disalahartikan oleh segelintir pers. Mereka beranggapan bahwa kebebasan itu mutlak, dan malah ada yang terang-terangan melanggar ketentuan kode etik tersebut. "Hal itu jelas tidak dapat ditoleransi. Oleh karena itu, UU Pers tidak perlu diterapkan kepada mereka," katanya menegaskan.

Hawaii Searching for Internet Answers with Google

Stuck in the Internet slow lane, Hawaii and its sluggish network are hoping Google will ride to the rescue. Through online petitions, a Facebook fan page and a YouTube video by the governor, Hawaii wants to persuade Google to choose the islands for one of its experimental fiber-optic networks, which could bring Internet speeds 100 times faster than those currently available to most Americans. The search engine giant is launching the experiment to test new ways to build fiber networks and to demonstrate the power of quick Internet to phone and cable companies. It invited all comers to say how they might benefit, and hundreds of communities from across the country have submitted bids arguing that they're the best location for the experiment. Hawaii's efforts may be a tough sell. The state's surfing speeds are among the slowest in the country, and legislative efforts to improve speeds haven't borne fruit. And the isolation of being in the middle of the Pacific Ocean ...

Is the Latest Union Budget a Good or Bad News for Indian IT Industry?

  Although, 2010-11 Union Budget has brought some good news for the construction, hospitality, banking, education and pharma sectors, but, it does not generate any good news for IT industry. The Finance minister didn't mention anything about the extension of Tax Rebate in this budget for IT industries. Since, the tax break ends in Mar 2011, outsourcing major such as Infosys Technologies, Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro are going to lose from the Budget because there is no mention of Tax Rebate in the budget. But, the Infosys chief Mr. Murthy has a different view. In an interview before the budget, he said that IT industry is quite different from other industries. IT companies need to pay higher taxes. That's why STPI (Software technology Park of India) extension is not required.
