Lupakan kasus prototipe iPhone anyar yang ditemukan di toilet sebuah bar. Pada akhirnya iPhone 4 itu akan segera dikonsumsi publik. Pada Senin lalu, ponsel pintar itu secara resmi diluncurkan dan mulai dikapalkan pada 24 Juni mendatang. Tak tanggung-tanggung, Apple menanamkan lebih dari 100 fitur baru di dalam ponsel yang akan dijual dalam varian hitam dan putih itu. Namun, pada peluncuran di Konferensi Pengembang Apple Sedunia di San Francisco, Steve Jobs menggarisbawahi sembilan fitur penting. Perubahan paling nyata tampak pada tubuhnya. iPhone 4 memakai material kaca di bagian muka dan belakang. Di sudut-sudutnya ada "pita" dari baja stainless yang merupakan bagian dari sistem antena. Ini pertama kalinya vendor ponsel mengintegrasikan antena Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, UMTS, dan GSM pada struktur ponsel. "Ini belum pernah dilakukan sebelumnya," kata Jobs. Ponsel ini memiliki tebal 9,3 milimeter atau 24 persen lebih tipis daripada pendahulunya, iPhone 3GS. Laya...

The rise of Twitter and instant messaging has made bit.ly more popular. The URL-shortening free service has become very useful tool for users across the web. According to company official blog, Bit.ly is getting nearly 5 billion clicks per month. Additionally, as per Google double click ranking, the website has become 76 th most-visited destination which is ahead of sites like eBay, MapQuest and the New York Times.

The service was launched in 2008. bit.ly has some additional features compared to other URL shorteners such as TinyURL like letting users track statistics on how many people clicked their links and how many other p...

"Terjadi peningkatan dibanding tahun 2009," kata Menteri Lingkungan Hidup, Gusti Muhammad Hatta di Jakarta, Selasa (8/6). Menteri menjelaskan, pada tahun 2009 penerima Adipura sebanyak 126 kota dan pada tahun 2010 ini menjadi 140 kota.

Is there a possibility for Twitter to be related to rogue? It looks that the answer to this question is YES. Security experts from Websense have recently detected a new Twitter-related spam campaign spreading rogueware. Let's find out the whole truth about this threat together. First of all, it has to be noted that the attack starts with a spam message purportedly being sent by Twitter and coming with the subject line "Reset your Twitter password". Victimized users are asked to click on the provided link or paste it into the browser. Websense claims to have detected about 55,000 cases of this malicious Twitter spam campaign. So what happens if the recipient clicks on the provided link? As it may be expected, that is where the real malicious attack begins. The link asks the victimized user to download an executable called password.exe. This is a malicious file and drops on the infected system rogue anti-virus application called Protection Center. An interesting thi...

It used to be that the only time you'd notice a bar code was at a store, maybe when a cashier scanned your groceries. But lately bar codes are showing up in more places around town — and getting more sophisticated. You might have seen one cousin of the traditional bar code: Known as a QR code, this jumble of little squares randomly arranged within a larger square is popping up on everything from bus stop billboards to restaurant windows. If you spot one and snap it with your cell phone camera, the device can show you a website, photo or video related to the advertiser. For example, Google Inc. is giving businesses stickers with QR codes that passers-by can scan. That brings up a link to a mobile version of a Google page where the business can post coupons and information about themselves. Soon the codes could lead to other avenues for connecting with customers in ways businesses can measure and control. That could help them target advertisements to the people who are most likel...

Yahoo Inc.'s latest facelift will include a Facebook touchup. As part of changes rolling out this week, Yahoo will import personal updates from Facebook's social network for users who want a bridge between two of the world's most popular websites. The Facebook link will need to be turned on by each Yahoo user. The personal updates, known as a "news feed" in Facebook's parlance, will be available throughout Yahoo's website, including its front page and e-mail service. Other tools will empower people to automatically let their Facebook friends know what they are doing and saying on Yahoo services such as its photo-sharing site, Flickr. The additional tie-ins follow through on a makeover that Yahoo announced late last year in an effort to make its website more compelling.

Apple Store faced increasing criticism before for not being more open, Apple recently announced that there is a portion of its devices that is totally open:the Web. If developers do not like some of the restrictions of Apple store, they can build their new Web Apps. But, the critics think that this is the best interest of Apple so that people make native apps for their devices, not web apps that can be used anywhere. Apple's HTML 5 page on its site establishes the fact what you can do with the technology. There are seven unique things you can do using only HTML5: Video, Typography, Gallery, Transitions, Audio, 360, and VR. "Standards are not add-on to the web," says Apple. But, the odd is that you can only view those things using Apple's Safari Browser. You can not use other HTML5 compliant browser like Google Chrome. If you try to load the application in different browser, you will get error message "The demo was designed with the latest web standards sup...
