With Bigger Screen Comes Bigger Responsibilities: iPad Negative Review

Yes, the new Apple self-claimed revolutionary device is announced yesterday….

The Apple iPad…

iPad starts as rumors (previously called iSlate or iTablet) that apple will launch a new device which is by concept the revolutionary Tablet device….no-one has ever been able to create such device that good…when hope of all mankind is lost apple start such rumors on creating the computer tablet….

We all (apple freak) are expecting the tablet to be working on Mac OS X (custom version)…it would work as complimentary pen mouse to other mac-line…it would have portable projector so it would be a revolutionary device for presentation….basically we all really want a revolutionary new device such as smartbook in tablet look alike gadget…

Apple Claims it to be revolutionary yet it is not as what we hopes it to be! (Reality Check)

This iPad is only the greater version of amazon’s kindle but the far much more stupid version of tablet PC or netbook. The iPad works on iPhone OS 3.2…So basically it is only the bigger version of iPod Touch or iPhone for that mattters…

Here’s are the Negative of iPad

1. It is basically a bigger version of iPhone or iPod Touch nothing else.

2. The OS cannot do multi tasking application. So you can’t hear music and write. You can’t do keynote and do numbers while googling and chatting. The iPhone OS is pretty dumb for a tablet PC!

3. No Camera so you can’t do any webcam chat

4. The Brand? They already start to mock the brand on youtube. iSlate or iTablet sounded far much better than the iPad that sounded like the iPod.

5. The Lack of port standards such as firewire, USB or even memory slots. and the adapter for this iPad is quite big.

6. Not a hi-def resolution. So watching on iPad is not as good as it to be on the commercial.

7. And it Doesn’t have flash in it. So it is not going to be, quote-by-quote from the steve jobs word, “It is the best browsing experience you’ve ever had”…

Usually, in apple launch we hear a lot of hand claps..this launching everyone just staring blankly everytime steve jobs says amazing after he shows the products…..(You are amazed steve…we are not!)

So there you have it.

This is really funny

Gamma Radiation Tricked our Eyes

I don’t really understand how gamma radiation is looked like it was moving…

I first realized this when i Put a black background over a red or blue fonts…a real red or blue font that really bursting your eye balls…

It looks as if they were hovering….

And then I found the yellow blue picture that if you looked at it as if the circle would rotate…

And then last I found this….

I know that this is a gamma radiation trick…but I don’t have the ability to explain this…

This picture is having 2 different trick…

First take a 50cm vision from the Monitor…and don’t follow the disappearance of the cirles…but concentrate at the middle of the picture signed as +. You will see the fading pink is changed to yellow.

Second trick is to take about 15cm vision from the monitor (remember this is bad for your eyes…realizing that this picture is full of gamma radiation is also bad for your eyes…i think)…and then concentrate on the plus sign for 60 second…never move your eyes…and then you will find that the pink circles will vanish…

Neat trick huh?

PS:

Don’t ask me why this could happen…

Mind Blowing Videos

Here’s some mind blowing videos about technology that people should see…

And realize that without the constant learning we will always be a developing country….

And this is another video about how information is going to mislead people….

Enjoy the information!

Open Happiness Coca Cola

In Indonesia coca-cola always make beautiful hit pop song…Even before open happiness is exist…

This time every country are challenged by coca cola to create their own version of open happiness..

And this time I personally think that the indonesian version of the open happiness is the best of all…

This is the American Version of this song…And have a very kiddies tone…I don’t like it…This song is launched at the beginning of 2009.

And then in June 2009 open happiness is launched in singapore with the same lyrics with the american version (of course they sang it with the same language)…but this version is far much more lighter…and I like the sound of the female vocalists….

Oct 2009 open happiness is released as Monkey Majik Triple A single in Japan…
I know Japanese very well…they are people with stuck up originality…(eventhough monkey majik are consists of 2 japs and 2 canadian they still a jap band)…

So they come up with something very different then the original song…this way I cant compare apple to apple with another song from the same theme…The Open Happiness of Monkey Majik is so Monkey Majik…

I don’t really understand japs that much…but I believe the lyrics are way a lot different then the original song that spread up smile and friendship….the monkey majik version is about finding happiness everyday in life (probably love theme)…

And then in November 2009 the new song for the open happiness is released in Indonesia.

This group changes the theme for “open happiness” to “open new spirit”…coca cola in Indonesia has already uses this theme in 1990….with their tag “semangat coca cola”…coca cola spirit….so I think it is in a way still in line with the world theme….

There’s a change here and there for the lyrics…but still in the same theme with the US theme…

So, enjoy the hits from all of the country…

Damaged Women

Jadi ceritanya kemaren malem gue abis nganter nyokap gue keliling-keliling Medan dengan bentor kantor…(he3)…gue pulang kerumah naik bentor (kalo ada yang nanya bentor itu becak motor…bentuknya kayak motor tempel taon 80an cuma ditempel dengan becak)…

Tiba2 dengan hebatnya ada bentor ngebut…langsung lah dengan hebatnya tangan gue keatas sambil menjentikkan jari yang ternyata jentikkan jari gue cukup kenceng juga yak sampe bisa ngalahin suara bentornya dan dia menoleh…kondisi jalan waktu itu sepi banget….

Tawar Tawar Tawar
Naik..
Eh, ini bukan FR ya? (ha3)

Dengan isenknya gue ngebuka pembicaraan
“Biasa narik malem bang?”
“Iya, ini baru narik lagi bang…dah lama gak narik”

Dengan gak pedulinya gue dengan pernyataan terakhir abang itu…gue lebih tertarik dengan pertanyaan lain yang nempel dikepala dari dulu…dan gue bilang

“Bukannya lebih enak nari siang bang?..Gak terlalu capek…yang naik lebih banyak dibanding malem”

“Tapi kalau siang kan kalau ada yang dikerjain jadi gak bisa”

Dan si abang berhenti ngomong….

Dia gak eager untuk bicara lagi…

Guenya semangat, “Emang abang siang kerjanya apa bang?”

“Jadi guru bang”

“Ah, serius?”

“Kalo gak bener bisa celaka saya”

“Guru dimana bang?”

“Guru SMK (mana gue lupa dan gak peduli…detail itu gak penting)”

“Jadi guru apa bang?”

“Olahraga”

Otak gue intrigue sama nih tukang becak malah ngeluarin pertanyaan lain yang mencari tahu kenapa dia perlu ngangkut becak malem2….

“Udah berkeluarga bang?”

“Udah, anak ada tiga…istri mau cerai”

“Kenapa bang? Susah kali lah bang (iya logat medan gue keluar kalo begini)…Anak tiga ngurusnya susah pakai cerai pun? Emang istri yang mau cerai?”

“Istri selingkuh bang”

“Aduh, sakit itu bang”

“Iya, dia minta uang…saya pinjam ke bank….habis itu dia pergi sama cowo lain”

Okeh, ini dia reasonnya kenapa dia perlu narik becak malem-malem meskipun dia punya kerjaan tetap…anak tiga dan hutang di bank….dan main reasonnya…damaged women!

Damaged Women ini sebenernya term yang baru gue lewatin setelah akhir-akhir ini gue nonton film house…memang di film house gak banyak sih tentang damage women…cuma banyak google search gue yang menuju hal-hal tentang damage women…

Sandra L. Brown menulis buku (e-book) berjudul How to Avoid Dating Damaged Women…Gue belum baca sih tentang bukunya…Tapi sandra menulis beberapa hal menarik di artikel mengenai buku tersebut…

Dia bilang damaged women adalah seorang wanita yang secara mental sudah hancur…dan biasanya orang yang very nice guy lebih gampang terjerat dengan wanita ini…Gue personally menyebut nice guy yang terjerat damaged women adalah super hero syndrome….ada beberapa tulisan tentang superhero syndrome gue di blog ini….

Sandra bilang ada 9 tipe Damaged Women

1. Needy

2. Daddy’s Girl

3. Emotionally Disordered

4. Addict

5. Violent

6. Stalker

7. Hidden Life

8. Bad Boys Lover

9. Predator (manipulative behaviour untuk mendapatkan apa yang ia inginkan)

Dan guess what…gue lebih banyak kenal damaged women dibanding normal women…

Why?

Because damaged women intrigue me…

Because I love puzzle and cant live without it…

Dan gue yakin ada banyak orang lain diluar sana yang sama kayak gue….

Banyak orang lain diluar sana yang memiliki superhero syndrome…

Craving for saving a damsel in distress…

Tapi dalam pernikahan cuma sedikit orang yang mengetahui resikonya bersama dengan damaged women….

Tukang becak ini salah satunya yang salah menikahi damaged women…

Berikut resikonya:

·         She alleges you abused her child

·         She reports you for domestic violence

·         She drains your bank account

·         She accuses you of rape

·         She ruins your job or career

·         She stalks you, your friends, your family, or your children.

·          She does property damage to your car, house, or other items

·         She trashes your reputation among your friends, co-workers, or other women you date

Oh Yeah,

And one more thing….because beauty is skin deep
