noreply@blogger.com (T. Ismail B) — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 15:48:00 +0700

Apple iPod Touch 32 GB (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL, Apple iPod Touch, Apple iPod Touch 32 GB 4th Generation, iPod Touch : The development of the technology world, especially in terms of information and communication the more amazing, many benefits have been felt by the public either in person, public or institutional, because basically the technology is built to spoil the wearer. However, with the speed of acceleration of the development itself is very dynamic and moving faster, make us a little more confusion to make choices about the use of technology that offered them.

Similarly, the output of Apple's latest iPod Touch. At first glance there is no difference between the 3rd generation 4th generation of the newly launched, but when examined closely it will show the difference. Latest models look slimmer with volume control two separate buttons and more tipis.Itu metal bezel of the superficial form is visible.
But more impressive is what is in the Apple Ipod Touch 32 GB itself.

Here are presented some advantages and disadvantages of the Ipod Touch New Generation

- Faster Processor 1GHz A4 - to compete with the high demands of multitasking, Apple Touch A4 model similar to that used in the iPhone 4. This operation is very agile memungkinakan movement and make the job easier even in the most complex web pages. In addition, with this capacity, It also does not have a problem if played on-screen HD video player. With multi-tasking operating system IOS, including 1.4-, processor ensures that the iPod Touch you will not slow down performance at any point. However, we still find the 3rd Generation iPod Touch is more than capable of multi-tasking in the new OS.

- Ultra-resolution "displays the Retina" tall - pack of 960 x 640 resolution of 326 pixels per inch. It really is amazing screen and is currently the best of any phone or portable media player. This makes the text and the pictures look super sharp, making it very easy to read things on the screen.

- 15% larger battery - 3.44 mAh Whr/930 7 hours playing video and 40 hours of audio. Amazing battery for audio with player timeless and 48hours 18minutes in our tests. Video playback is good for a small life, at 8 hours and 50minutes. This should be enough for all of the longest flights.

- Rear-facing camera - supports 960 x 720 sized photos (0.6 megapixels), plus a 720p HD video
- Front-facing VGA-quality camera - VGA-quality resolution of 640 x 480 (0.3 megapixels)
both cameras: one on the back for taking photos and video, one in the front for self portraits and video calls Apple FaceTime. With IOS 4.1, FaceTime no longer require you to have a phone number to register with the service and make calls. Now, you can register an email address for use with the service tersebut.Hal this has the effect of FaceTime little inconsistent, depending on who you want to call: if you want to call someone using an iPod Touch, you must use the email address of the recipient, if they use Your iPhone should start a FaceTime calls to their phone number.

- With a call, we find that the video quality produced by the front of the camera were identical to those generated by the iPhone 4. As the iPod Touch has a built-in microphone, no need to connect a headset, so you can make calls without additional equipment.

- 3-Axis Gyroscope - allows for high precision motion and body movement more. Better video playback on the iPod than any other media players we've seen. The easiest way to get video is through the iTunes Store, but there are many free utilities out there that will convert other files into the proper format. Screening perfect and never jerky as with some other portable media players we've used previously.

- Wireless N - Connect faster and go further than before, with a WiFi device (requires a router with 802.11n)

- Built in microphone - but Apple is returned back to using a remote earphone and mic-less, this also means that you can use other services that require a microphone, like Skype, without a headset. However, unlike the iPhone, which has a loudspeaker and the handset speaker standards for normal use, the iPod Touch and hold the speakers. This means it is not ideal to use where you want to make personal calls, unless you attach a headset.

- Game Center - Apple's own social gaming platform

- Sleep / Power Button - it's been moved to the right, but did not improve beyond that

- Thin, lighter than the previous

Audio playback is also brilliant, with a touchscreen interface that is very simple to choose the music you want to listen. Audio quality will depend on the headphones you use: for best results, set Apple ditch horrible and bought myself a pair of decent in return.

Also pretty much business as usual for the iPod. That is to say that it was the easiest to use mobile OS we meet. Everything about it is the smooth-smooth, from pinching to zoom in Google Maps to rotate the screen to get the landscape view. Screen keyboard is also pleasant to use, because it's just big enough to type without errors in portrait mode, for more text, the landscape mode means you can type quickly using your thumb.
Then there is the huge range of applications from the App Store. There's everything you might want to here from Sky + Remote Record application for an extraordinary variety of games. Currently, the iPod Touch also has a three axis gyroscope (more than 4 iPhone), there are many games that you can play just by tilting and rotating the device.

So the real question is, is worth buying the new Touch? The answer really depends on the kind of iPod you have. If you have a 3rd Generation iPod Touch and do not care about having a camera, an upgrade is not feasible. Higher screen resolution and a faster processor just is not big enough improvement to make it worthwhile, in our opinion.

Unlike the iPod touch update last year, this one is complete improvements to the entire line. Last year, the new models have not changed in appearance. Inside, a faster processor and double the memory that is added to the 32GB and 64GB models, but the 8GB gets abandoned. Not this time. Buying a new 8GB iPod touch does make you all the new stuff. You also will pay thirty dollars more than before, so consider buying the 32GB model instead. You will get 400% of storage capacity only 23% more money!

So, the choice depends on you because you know what you need now, is still using the old or upgrade to a new product, everything is back again to your needs.

These services will affect MobileMe as well, like iTunes and MobileMe, an online store on the type of data they provide perceived overlap. For example, the current iTunes sync audio, movies and TV shows, iBooks, Store applications, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, notes, and all kinds of files are shared between the IOS application.

A day after Google announced that the attacker hacking of gmail in the area of Jinan, China, the Chinese government immediately denied Instantly firmly involvement in the attack. This statement was conveyed by Foreign Ministry spokesman China Hong Lei. According to what is alleged Google is unreasonable and far-fetched and it could not accept if all the errors only addressed to the Chinese government.

"Any attacks (hackers), they always blame China. Special events this latest incident is not unreasonable especially with ulterior motives," said Lei told WaPost, who launched the TG Daily, Friday (6/3/2011).

"The Chinese government firmly opposes any activities of cyber crimes, including hacking. And ready to cooperate with the international community to combat it," he said.

"China itself has become a victim of hacking attacks, and the government has given great attention to the security of cyberspace," he said. "The statement that says that the Chinese government supports piracy attacks, has ulterior motives."

Previously, the U.S. had warned other countries that it is now assessing the hacker attacks, including 'the challenge of war' so that they can conduct a military strike against the country concerned.

On the other hand, Google reveal the motives of the hackers that want to monitor the contents of electronic mail, with a mode using stolen passwords and then change the settings for the email channel.

One of the world's largest Internet company, said that the latest computer-based invasion attack directed at a variety of Western companies. Guardian of the British news agency reported that "The sophistication of attacks and their highly targeted nature, has a motive eliminating direct financial benefits."

Google says, it is possible hijacking attacks, sponsored a state.

This hijacking attacks surfaced a day after the U.S. government plans to create a law that states hacking attacks is a form of war.

United States Department of Defense announced that the military is prepared to use violence in response to the threat of hackers. The operation of this new virtual world will become active next month.

Chinese Hackers Attack Hits Google Mail

noreply@blogger.com (T. Ismail B) — Fri, 3 Jun 2011 14:59:00 +0700

Regarding a case of hacking Gmail electronic mail service provider, instant china government strongly denied direct involvement. As known, some gmail account successfully broken by hackers are among the Gmail account of senior U.S. officials, journalists, military personnel and political activist that happened a few days ago. Rebuttal was issued a day after Google announced a possible break-ins by hackers from Jinan, China.

Perhaps this is a disastrous break-ins for users of electronic mail accounts gmail. According to some sources, the attack was carried out by a group of people who came from China. After the tragedy of late 2009, when the hackers from the country of origin stubborn bamboo curtain managed to break into Google's system and steal the codes is important, now Gmail electronic mail service provider to be targeted.

Reported by Reuters on Thursday (02/05/2011), includes the latest attack seems to rely so-called "phishing" scams and other fraudulent behavior is often used hackers to get passwords from people and websites that are not vigilant about protecting information.

The victims, including state and military officials, bureaucrats Asia, Chinese activists and journalists, deluded give their Gmail account password to cyber criminals based in mainland China, according to Google's statement as written in the WSJ. The aim is to spread the attack was the victim of electronic mail to certain addresses.

Google itself has done their security-related measures to detect and disrupt infiltration. All the victims have been notified and their Gmail accounts are guaranteed to be immediately addressed.

Google will not say what part of the U.S. government were targeted or whether there may have contained confidential information in your Gmail account was hacked.

Google search for origin of the attack that led to Jinan, China. A city to house a computer vocational school associated with the attacks more than a year ago on the Google computer system, along with more than 20 other U.S. companies. Jinan, which is located about 400 kilometers south of Beijing, is the headquarters of the bureaus of technical surveillance of the People's Liberation Army, one of the largest armies in the world.

In Washington, the United States, agency investigators FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and the U.S. State Department was shoulder to shoulder investigate this case. "We do not believe there is an official e-mail account owned by U.S. government officials who breached," said Caitlin Hayden of the U.S. National Security Council to the WSJ.

Previously, Mila Parker, a security researcher in Washington, Google would have warned the threat of attack. Mila managed to save examples of emails that he was identified through routine observation and he called the attack "man-in-the-mailbox."

The method used by the sender: electronic mail accounts of victims and their contacts in it seized and used to convince other potential victims.

According to him, as revealed in the pages of New York Times, was "not new or cutting-edge ways," but "spreading invasive."

He then handed me a fake document entitled "Draft US-China Joint Statement" (draft Cooperation Agreement US-China) that is spread through e-mail account in the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Defense, Defense Intelligence Agency and Gmail.

When the user tries to download the document, they will be herded into a fake Gmail homepage that will steal your password.

That incident will certainly further increase the pressure on cyberwar issues. The U.S. government this week will decide that cyber attacks are classified as "war".

Meanwhile, British Defence Secretary, Nick Harvey said, as quoted from the pages of The Guardian, "All activities in the virtual world will slowly form a kind of battlefield of the future."

So it is not excessive if a few weeks ago, the U.S. government through President Barack Obama has asked some key people in the field of Information and Technology to become a telecommunications security adviser, and it turns out that worrying about what happens now, an attack on electronic mail providers gmail.

Facebook : For Detection of Child Pornography, Facebook Using Special Software

noreply@blogger.com (T. Ismail B) — Wed, 25 May 2011 11:42:00 +0700

After many instances of deviant behavior from its users, Facebook is finally using a software PhotoDNA to try to detect child pornography online.

The software was developed two years ago by Dartmouth College and Microsoft, which works based on the database of images of child pornography from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), the United States. Automatically upload photos to compare with the database, and any sign that appears to be the same.

"Traditionally, if the image is resized or edited in a way at all, blue print or digital signature of the photos that will be different, and it would be difficult or sometimes even impossible to find an image nearly identical," said Brad Smith, an interpreter Facebook speech, as reported by TG Daily, Wednesday (05/25/2011). But PhotoDNA, said the company, can detect the drawings even when they have been modified in this way.

Facebook is now planning to run the software on each photo was uploaded to their site, and will report the offending images either to NCMEC and the police. Computer science professor Hany Farid says it can scan images in just four milliseconds, which means users will not see a delay.

He said that the test can detect 99.7 per cent in real time, and have a false positive rate between one in two billion and one in ten billion.

"Perpetrators of child pornography problem in the world - and particularly in the United States - has really exploded with the advent of the internet," said Ernie Allen, president and CEO of NCMEC. "Twenty years ago we thought this problem had almost disappeared,"

He said that the beta testing of software in New Zealand have led to arrests. Microsoft also has succeeded in using technology to remove the 1000 image of cloud-based storage service SkyDrive since February.

noreply@blogger.com (T. Ismail B) — Sat, 21 May 2011 23:18:00 +0700

The film not only promising blind illusion, but also collaboration among the players full of color. Stunning acting from the cast, along with the way the story flows perfectly, making the film was beautiful to be enjoyed.
There is an assumption that by cooperating with star players, the success of a film will be easily achieved because of the quality assurance of a star player to be cast.

However, assuming that the mega-star pair will bring a big success if you fill a movie is not always true. Take the example of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in "Righteous Kill. " The film is set in the city of New York, USA, pairing Pacino and De Niro, two great class actor whose presence in a film and will share many scenes, so awaited film lovers around the world. The long history of spectacular plays a role through the works of "classic" like "The Godfather", "The Godfather: Part II", "Taxi Driver", "Scent of A Woman", etc.., no need to doubt their abilities.

So, when they met in a most anticipated scene in the history of cinema in the movie "Heat", with the background of the coffee shop table that stores the anxiety, we want more. Because the scene was too fleeting. All want to know, every scratch on the forehead de Niro and Pacino eye flashes so high in value.

Unfortunately, not all the audience would expect them to have, such as word of a proverb. There just are not appropriate in the role of spouse selection. Let's look at who the worst star couples in movie history, as was revealed by Maxim.com:

Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds ("City Heat")

Burt Reynolds is remembered mainly through the old movie "Smokey and the Bandit". While Clint Eastwood's already got the name after the success with "A Fistful of Dollars" and "Unforgiven." Burt complained that his jaw was injured in the shooting. Not only that, many consider its role in the film that has been accelerating the downfall of his name.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck ("Gigli")

Popular with call J. Lo, Jennifer Lopez's first known in the world of film. His decision to enter the music industry more inflated popularity. What about Ben Affleck? The movie "Good Will Hunting" makes it counted in the Hollywood film industry. Personally, Affleck and J. Lo ever establish love, the thing that gives them the nickname Bennifer (short for Ben and Jennifer). Unfortunately, their intimacy beyond the stage was then transmitted into the role.

Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman ("Ishtar")

No one can deny the greatness of Warren Beatty. You can see it play out in "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Bugsy. " The legendary phrase, "This here's Miss Bonnie Parker.'m Clyde Barrow. We rob banks." Meanwhile, Dustin Hoffman no different. Performed brilliantly in several films like "The Graduate", "Kramer vs. Kramer" and "Tootsie, " Hoffman is not a new child. However, like Al Pacino and Robert de Niro in "Righteous Kill," they do not do not perform 'well" in "Ishtar".

Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts ("The Mexican")

In Indonesia, Brad Pitt may first be recognized through the series "21 Jump Street". Together with Johnny Depp, he is entertaining the public with compelling action. He now ranks actors capable thanks to "Seven", "Babel" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. " So Also Julia Roberts. Bubbling charisma in "Pretty Woman" and "Erin Brockovich. " Compared with "The Mexican", while their appearance in one scene in "Ocean's Eleven" was more thrilling.

George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones ("Intolerable Cruelty")

If you can not stand the gaze of Catherine Zeta-Jones, do not blame yourself. Michael Douglas just can yield. Excess property is seen in "The Mask of Zorro", with the opponent's knight with his guitar playing, Antonio Banderas, and "Traffic." Clooney stars nor arbitrary. Rewards Oscar for the film "Syriana" be evidence of ability. Still, the advantages would not be a guarantee of quality for their installation in "Intolerable Cruelty".

Sunshine good for bone health, everyone would already know. But did you know that sunlight is also good for the quality of sperm? So for infertile men do not worry, you should more often leave the body exposed to the sun.

Recently, a study conducted on 340 men, found that vitamin D is produced by the body when exposed to sunlight, it can improve sperm quality. Sperm-sperm had been "a swimmer" better as it moves toward the egg cell, has a greater speed, and more penetrative.

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen tested the sperm quality of randomly selected respondents and conduct a detailed analysis of samples in the laboratory. At the same time, levels of vitamin D in their blood were measured.

As a result, nearly half the participants had a less amount of vitamin D, associated with a lack of exposure to natural sunlight or the length of time in a solarium.

Sunlight is the main source of vitamin D, which helps regulate levels of calcium and phosphorous to generate healthy bones. Furthermore, the number of healthy sperm in men with vitamin D or less was lower compared with men who get adequate vitamin D intake. The ability to absorb calcium also inhibited.

The findings are published in the journal Human Reproduction complements previous research that links vitamin D to the production of sperm. The study also explains why many couples get pregnant when on vacation. The reason is because they are more often outside the room than a regular day or days of work so that higher sun exposure. Similarly, as reported from Dailymail, Saturday (21/05/2011).

Researchers found that nearly half of the participants experienced that insufficient intake of vitamin D below 50 nmol / l. In fact, the optimal levels recommended by most experts is at least 75 nmol / l.

"The level of vitamin D is positively associated with the movement of sperm, which confirms the role of vitamin D in human sperm function,"explained Dr. Martin Blomberg Jensen, one of the researchers of the study.
