Change Facebook Become a fan of 'Be' Like '

Facebook plans to change the fan service page. If before they were expected to be a fan of a product (changed from a fan) is now the word is refined into 'like' alone.
Many business companies or celebrities who use Facebook fan page for connecting with consumers. Instead of asking them to be a fan (fan) Lady Gaga or Starbucks, the word 'Love' (like) Facebook is considered more natural.
"The idea for a brand like we consider a more natural action, rather than have a 'fan' of the product," says Buddy Media CEO Michael Lazerow, a consultant who is always helping companies who want to promote their products on social networking, like Facebook and Twitter.
According Lazerow, as quoted by the Associated Press, Wednesday (31/3/2010), has been more and more companies entrust the promotion of social networks, especially since its free made at anytime and anywhere, not even charge.
Facebook itself has made this service a long time. Previously, Facebook users are allowed to attach the word 'like' in every comment, photo and status updates are posted. According to Facebook, members are always clicking on the word 'like' twice more, than clicking on the word 'changed from a fan'.
"Changing the 'Become a fan will make our users more comfortable dealing with a brand is, in fact we will expose these brand sites," said the Facebook party.
Facebook fan page is enough to contribute substantial advertising revenue. Even in a period of one month average users are able to 'Become a fan of the existing four fan page on Facebook at once

Ford Ranger Repair Work by magic So

In addition to warranty programs to introduce 24-hour parts, PT Ford Motor Indonesia (FMI) introduced a mobile service service.
Using Single Cabin Ford Ranger, Ford's Mobile Service will serve all the repair and maintenance of vehicles Ford consumers directly on the site is located.
"For example, consumers are on their home or office no longer need to bring the car to the garage but can directly contact us and we'll come through this service mobile programs," said Fleet Sevice Manager of FMI, Agus Riadi when met at the Ford Warehouse Sunter, Jakarta,Monday (29/3/2010).
Therefore, he said, Ford's Mobile Service is equipped with all equipment needed to perform repair and maintenance of Ford vehicles. "Similar workshops running," said Agus.
A series of workshop equipment Ranger went into this, such as parts, compressors, generators, jack, all workshop equipment such as drilling and grinding, until a special tank for the disposal of used oil when consumers want treatment oil changes.
"Mobile service will expand the service coverage area FMI while providing premium service for Ford customers who are always busy," said Agus.
Therefore, if there are currently only four units of the Ford Ranger who conjured a Mobile Service, Agus added the FMI will add a 12 unit Mobile Service until the end of 2010.
He hopes this new program will be available in the area of Banjarmasin, Samarinda, Bandung Balikpapan, Medan, East Java, Denpasar, Jakarta Timur, Central Jakarta, Pluit, Makassar, and Palembang

Beer Fraud Detection with Infrared Spectrometer

The bar owner who caught mixing beer or wine with water would not be able to escape thanks to an alcohol-detection device false.
The device is equipped with a spectrometer that measures the alcohol content by scanning the sample drink with infrared radiation. Scanned and then compared with the frequency spectrum emitted by the liquid sample other drinks made reference.
"It took 30 to 60 seconds," said Dirk Lachenmeier of the Chemical and Veterinary Investigation in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Dirk also develop and test this device. The results of testing the device later published in the scientific journal Chemistry Central. As reported by New Scientist, Tuesday (30/3/2010), the detector gives the same test results with sophisticated laboratory equipment, when testing the alcohol content of 260 samples of beverages.
Portable device is currently manufactured by technology companies Unisensor Sensorsysteme for 3000 euros or approximately Rp36, 6 million, is more expensive than a twentieth-based infrared spectrometer used in advanced laboratories.
Trading Standards Institute in the UK mentioned, this device detector outperformed similar alcoholic beverage that is used today. But they recommend this device when the initial test, equipped with laboratory testing for cases of fraud false selling of alcoholic beverages are sued in court

Cigarettes Make People So Stupid

From the first, smoke is known to cause heart attacks and disease damage to the lungs. Latest research results mentioned, smoking will continually make you stupid.
In a study of 20,000 adolescent smokers, found that those who regularly smoked per day decreased their level of intelligence than non-smokers. The study also concluded, the more a person smoked, the lower the IQ, or level of their intelligence.
Daily Mail, Monday (29/3/2010) launch, those who inhale a pack or more every day, has an IQ of seven and a half points lower than those who do not smoke. Smokers aged 18 to 21 years had an average IQ of 94. While those who do not smoke the average-IQ 101.Studi also mentioned, those who suck more than one pack of cigarettes per day had an average IQ of 90.
Dr. Mark Weiser who led the study says, he and his team had not found the obvious reason that smoking causes a decrease in the level of intelligence. "It is still required further study to really prove its legitimacy," said Weiser.
"But here is very clear that people had low IQ on average choose to smoke. This is not just related to socio-economic status, but it can also because of their educational levels affect their decision to smoke," he explained.
He is also suspected, this conclusion confirms the results of previous studies, that those who have lower levels of intelligence tend to make decisions that are not 'smart' associated with their health.

5 Reasons to Fear Robots


Robots Steal Our Hearts

Robots don't need to take over by force, if humans have already fallen for their cute, clumsy antics. Blame the human brain for allowing toddlers and soldiers alike to feel warm fuzzy feelings for robots. People are hardwired to perceive faces and get emotional about almost everything, whether it's a stuffed animal or a car. However, robots still have to navigate one tricky obstacle of the mind -- the "Uncanny Valley" phenomenon where a robot looks almost human, save for a bizarre twitch or stutter or glassy-eyed stare which can creep people out. Many researchers currently try to bypass the issue by simply designing robots to look less human, and retain that clunky robotic cuteness.



Humans May Prefer Robot Lovers

Experts aren't wondering if humans will ever make love to robots -- they're already discussing what happens when that day comes. It may sound snicker-worthy, but consider that many people have had online relationships that get pretty intimate through Internet chat rooms and participate in socially intense massively multiplayer online games for years. A flesh-and-steel robot that feels, looks and sounds like a human would have even greater appeal, robotics researchers say. And if history serves as any guide, you don't need the perfect Stepford Wife to tempt spouses or significant others into a little robotic addiction and strain existing human relationships.

Robots Take Our Jobs

Anything you can do, they can do better. Well, lots of things, anyway. Modern humans have not gone obsolete just yet, but robots have already found their place as space explorers that can endure harsh environments off and on Earth. They have also brought their tireless efficiency to everything from assembly line work to humdrum gene sequencing in labs, and have appeared in growing numbers on real-life battlefields -- although the latter can lead to the different problem if robots stage a rebellion, or even just have a weapons malfunction. For now, robots complement rather than replace elements of the human workforce and armed forces due to limits on their intelligence. But they're evolving quickly, and a few have even beguntinkering with science themselves.


Robot Insurrection: Kill All Humans

A scenario where machines rise up against their makers presents perhaps the least appealing convergence of science fiction and real life. That doesn't mean preliminary signs of an incipient insurrection don't exist, though. Thousands of drones and ground robots have been deployed by many nations, and particularly the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan. An automatic antiaircraft gun killed human soldiers on its own when it malfunctioned during a South African training exercise. Military researchers refer to"Terminator" scenarios, and seriously discuss how armed robots are changing the rules and ways of modern war. If that's not enough to make you a bit leery, consider that Great Britain has established a network of satellites for the purpose of coordinating all those drones and other military assets. It shares the same name as a certain villainous artificial intelligence that dominates the "Terminator" movies -- Skynet.


Your Grandkids Will Be Robots

Whether humans and robots fight or make love, the most probable scenario involves marching toward a convergence point in the future. On one hand, humans continue to add more technological gizmos and tiny computers to their daily wear. You can already see many such 21st-century cyborgs playing around with their iPhones, or staring off into the distance with earbuds piping music into their heads. Artificial limbs, organs and bionic eyes? Check. Coming from the other direction, robots have steadily improved in almost every possible way: walking, talkingand learning. Man and machine increasingly look alike, and at some point the difference may not exist. But on a brighter note, humans won't worry so much about robots once they've merged with them. See you on the other side.

Robot girl from Japan could be a way





Soon, robots will compete or if not replace the catwalk models. Latest robot made in Japan are not only beautiful, but also can waddle with swaying hips when walking."In technology, he has reached that level," said Hiroshi Hirukawa, one scientist from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Sciences and Technology, a research institution supported by the Japanese Government funds management. Robot is on display, Monday (16 / 3), in a fashion show in Tokyo.When walking, the movements of flexible arms and legs like humans. Facial expression can also change from sad to happy to set the eyes and mouth movements on command.The robot performs in a typical Japanese woman's face with a white skin and shoulder-length straight black hair. 158 centimeters tall, weighing 58 kilograms. Meanwhile, the body is still a silver-colored metal.In addition to the catwalk model, a robot named HRP-4C may be used also to replace the guide or instructor. For example, guide the direction of the park or simply move their bodies to give visitors a place of entertainment entertainment.Unfortunately, the price is still very expensive. Robot platform without the smooth face fabric silicon will be sold at a price of 20 million yen or approximately USD 2.4 billion.However, the software that regulates the movement of the robot will be donated to the public. Its developers hope, community saluruh robots in the world can improve the robot's ability quickly.

Roses from the NASA Space

Teleskop NASA spacecraft photographed a cloud filled with new stars that sprinkled the dust of space. This infrared image from the new constellations labeled Berkeley 59.Each star "just" a few million years and because of the colorful red and green, NASA scientists equate it with a cosmic roses.
This image taken by a new NASA device, namely Berlingkup Infrared Survey Explorer Wide or Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Space observer is worth 320 million U.S. dollars and is built to map the entire sky in detail. This telescope has photographed a dark asteroids and comets that previously hard-captured image.
NASA's WISE telescope is expected to finish mapping the sky in six months.
Back at cosmic roses, the red light in the middle is due to the heat emitted by the stars in the cloud. Emerald green areas in the suburbs are molecules of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that can be found also on Earth, namely the result of combustion, for example from car exhaust pipe or even in the bottom of a barbecue grill.

Egyptian oranges worth 4 million U.S. Dollar hijacked

Somalia pirates hijack a group of Iranian ship carrying Egyptian oranges valued at U.S. $ 4 million off the coast of Yemen. Fars news agency in Iran, Saturday (27.3.2010), quoted the Chairman of Export-Import Association of Fresh Fruit of Iran, Reza Nourani, said the ship weighing 5,000 tons that was hijacked last week when the voyage from Egypt to Iran.Media reports had mentioned, before the ship was located at 640 km off the coast of Somalia and the hijackers believed to be from Somalia. Nourani said the ship was named Talca two members of the Association of Export-Import Fresh Fruit Iran.Somali pirates hijack increased action in recent months. Their profits estimated at millions of U.S. dollars ransom from the release of the ships hijacked in the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden, Yemen.Earlier this week, the European naval forces patrolling the waters off Somalia to save 13 crew members abandoned the Iranian fishing pirates Somalia without food, water or fuel.The crew was bound for two days, was robbed, and left floating in the sea without any hope with the radio equipment and mobile phones are not working, before they were discovered by Spanish warships.They were seen last weekend at a location approximately 60 nautical miles from where they send an emergency call. The fishing boat's crew was reported to be in good health after suffering it

Origin Apples in Apple Logo

Must know his name laptop aple ... certainly familiar ... and it is the history of the name aple ... clay just below


Figure bitten apples into Apple logo are so popular today. Initially, the company Steve Jobs is using the logo image Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree. Logo designed Ronald Wayne was created in 1976.
Logo was later changed Rob Janoff into berpelangi apples used from 1976-1998. Furthermore logo used until now is bitten apple. That said, the bite of the apple was inspired by Alan Turning, the father of modern computer that ended the life by eating an apple that contains cyanide

Millions Netter 'Baited' Open Link Spam

CALIFORNIA - Millions of Internet users likely to open the site links are sent via junk email (spam). In fact, not only links, some users are also often open the attachment spam.
Based on the survey Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG), spam was mostly interested email owner. At least 46 percent of Internet users interested in products or services offered in the email.
"43 percent said often open spam emails," wrote MAAWG as reported by ZDNet, Friday (26/3/2010).
 
Meanwhile, another 57 percent rarely open spam, even opening spam, they just want to make sure that email is spam email.
Internet users in Canada is the most Internet users avoid spam. Netters in Canada are often separate the spam email with a non-spam emails.
No doubt, many misguided people, spam is often regarded as the most powerful marketing tool but it is not. Many good products, electronic or drugs that use spam as a marketing tool. We have more Spam 'dibonceng' malware, making it difficult to make the spam as a marketing tool


Origin of Earth Hour

Earth Hour is an environmental awareness activities are spearheaded by organizations of WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) Australia, started in 2007 and held on the last Saturday in March each year.
When Earth Hour comes, all the citizens of the world simultaneously turned off the lights and electrical equipment are not needed since 20:30 till 21:30 o'clock local time. This is done to raise awareness of the need for action on climate change and reduce energy consumption.
As quoted from the site Earth Hour, Friday (26/3/2010), initially in 2004 WWF Australia to find new efforts in prevention of global warming. So tercetuslah idea that Earth Hour. Later in development, from year to year Earth Hour campaign was well received and supported by society and government.
Later in 2005, WWF Australia together with the advertising agency Leo Burnett Sydney to discuss the idea of carrying the idea that every person can be responsible personally for the future of earth. They also began to develop the concept of light and electricity blackouts in large scale. This idea is called 'The Big Flick'.
Leo then given the task of making the campaign a name that could represent more than just put out the lights. So in 2006, the concept they changed the name to Earth Hour. As such, they expect a possible Earth Hour campaign to expand the focus from simply turn off the lights.
Right on March 31, 2007, the first Earth Hour was held in Sydney, Australia. At that time, extinguishing the lights done at 19:30 hours until 20:30 local time. Approximately 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney office building managers participated in this activity. This activity then attract international attention. In the following years, Earth Hour was later commemorated globally.
What about Indonesia? This year is the second time Indonesia participated in Earth Hour activities. Earth Hour 2010 will be celebrated on Saturday, March 27 this weekend. Based on the information WWF Indonesia, last year's Earth Hour Jakarta managed to save electricity by 50 MW. As for Java and Bali electricity savings reach 180 MW

Mesin Pencari Uang ala Brin dan Page






MORE than 10 years ago, Google as a search engine research ideas Sergey Brin and Larry Page to get a PhD.
But now after more than a decade, Google's search engine transformed so money and making the two friends were given the title as the richest person in the world that young age. Wealthy, young, and the results of his own effort. Various predicate was pinned to Sergey Brin (36), and Larry Page (37), which has successfully entered the ranks of the world's richest people Forbes for several years in a row. In the ranking of the year 2010, the two Google founders are ranked 24th with a net worth of each USD17, 5 billion or equivalent to Rp159, 68 trillion. While the previous year, the friends are ranked 26th with a net asset value of each for $ 12 billion or equivalent to Rp109, 5 trillion.
While Google Inc. as the company recorded gross revenue of USD23, 651 billion in 2009, equivalent to Rp215, 81 trillion. Google's operating income in 2009 for $ 8, 312 billion, or Rp75, 84 trillion, with profits reaching $ 6, 52 billion, or Rp59, 4 trillion. This figure is up compared to the year 2008 with revenues reaching USD21, 8 billion and $ 4 profit, 23 billion. Total assets owned by Google Inc. in 2009 for $ 40, 49 billion and total equity $ 36 billion. Google has hired as many as 19,835 employees in 2009 spread all over the world with subsidiaries YouTube LLC, Double-Click, GrandCentral, and Picnik. Even Google's revenue and profit has surpassed eBay, Amazon and Yahoo!.
Last year, Ebay registered a profit of $ 2, 3 billion of revenues $ 8, 7 billion. As in 2008, eBay recorded a profit of USD1, 78 billion of total income $ 8, 54 billion or 34% increase. This year, eBay's total income estimate $ 8, 8 billion to USD9, 1 billion. The Amazon in 2009 to record income of USD24, 5 billion with net income of USD902 million. Amazonini net profit rose nearly 40% compared to record 2008 profit of just USD645 million from USD19 revenues, 17 billion.Amazon has hired approximately 20 thousand employees.
Last incomes Yahoo! in 2009 for $ 6, 4 billion, slightly down from 2008 revenue of $ $ 7, 21 billion. But the profit in 2009 increased to USD598 million from the previously only USD419 million. Yahoo! supported by approximately 14 thousand employees. According to Forbes, Google's profit of $ 5, 5 billion earned in just 12 months with a market share rose to 70% on last year. Even Google has implemented applications in smart phones (smartphones), so further increasing Google's market share since November 2008.
With this performance, natural search engine Google has been incarnated as a search engine for the money its founder. For her, the father of one child who lives in Polo Alto California is Google's main source of income. No different than Page. According to Forbes notes the main income source man who lives in San Francisco, California This is from Google. At present besides the founder, Page served as President of Google Inc. Product Development. While she served as President of Google Inc. Technology Division.
Meeting of Two Friends
The story of the journey of life Brin and Page were somewhat unique. It's hard to imagine two doctoral students who did not complete college is now incarnated as a man who entered the ranks of the world's richest people. She was born in Moscow, August 21, 1973, has a full name Sergey Mikhailovich Brin. Prior to founding Google with a friend Page, Brin had been studying computer science and mathematics. She went on her computer science education at Stanford University through a scholarship from the National Science Foundation. He received his master's degree in August 1995.
In addition, she has an MBA from IE Business School. Mentioned, Page and Brin were not initially like each other when they first met at the Graduate School of Computer Science Stanford University in 1995. However, their interest in the same field, eventually they became friends. Together they search for and find relevant information from large data set. They were then write a research paper entitled "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine" which is considered as a seed for establishing their careers in Google.
While the Page, the man who was born March 26, 1973, has the full name of Lawrence Edward Page. Husband of Lucinda Southworth is a graduate of East Lansing High School. Page earned a bachelor of science in computer engineering from the University of Michigan. He is also a graduate of Stanford University master's from. After meeting with her at the Computer Science PhD program at Stanford University, they run a business search engine Google, which began operating in 1998.
So Googol Google
Given Google's history of the establishment, originally a name Googol. A mathematical terminology means one followed by 100 zeros. Page and Brin to use this name because it has a mission to organize the information around the world and makes it accessible and universally useful. As a company founded Google Inc. on September 7, 1998 in the garage of a friend Brin and Page in Menlo Park, California.
In February 1999, the company moved into offices at 165 University Ave, Palo Alto, California before finally moving to the "Googleplex", Mountain View, California at the end of the same year.Google started from the research project Page and Brin in early 1996 to develop the theory that a search engine based on mathematical analysis of the relationship between web sites will provide better results than by using the search techniques used on the basis of the time. This system was originally called BackRub for using backlinks to estimate how important a site.
Page and Sergey continued to improve Google technologies throughout early 1998. Finally, companies can set up Google on September 7, 1998 and officially opened in Menlo Park, California. Currently Google is a company predicated number one in the top 100 most popular company in America with the number of employees nearly 20,000 people.

Hubble telescope captures image of mysterious x-shaped object in space



Is that a smashed comet or an X-Wing fighter?
Scientists are offering up their own theories as to what created the striking star-inspired image, which was captured by NASA's Hubble telescope in January.
"Two small and previously unknown asteroids recently collided, creating a shower of debris that is being swept back into a tail from the collision site by the pressure of sunlight," said principal investigator David Jewitt of the University of California at Los Angeles.
The object - dubbed “P/2010 A2” after it was discovered in early January by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research program sky survey - has traits similar to a comet, but the x-shape appears disconnected from the tail.
"The filamentary appearance of P/2010 A2 is different from anything seen in Hubble images of normal comets," Jewitt said.
Sci-fi lovers may instead go for a more fantastical theory, believing it to be the "Last Starfighter" or, perhaps, a Kilrathi dreadnought from the Wing Commander video game.
What's your theory?

Clarke"s Believe It or Not

Arthur Clarke is known for spinning elaborate, visionary tales of futures that might be, none more famous than 2001: A Space Odyssey. But according to Clarke, the real 2001 has some pretty unbelievable things to offer.
"I'm fairly convinced that we have discovered life on Mars," Clarke told SPACE.com Sunday as Buzz Aldrin listened. "There are some incredible photographs from [the Jet Propulsion Laboratory], which to me are pretty convincing proof of the existence of large forms of life on Mars! Have a look at them. I don't see any other interpretation."
Aldrin did not comment, but responded by referring to another remarkable topic, so-called zero-point energy, theorized by some physicists as being a powerful energy source that exists in the vacuum of space. Aldrin said, "To put this into a perspective where Arthur and I agree: It may take 200, 300 or 400 years, but it's going to take zero-point energy to get us to Alpha Centauri." Turning to Clarke, he added, "Correct?"
  
"I'm glad that Buzz has raised this rather controversial question," Clarke said. "A lot of my scientist friends are crazy to believe there's anything in this. It started with this so-called cold fusion business, which everybody laughed out of court. But I'm now convinced that there are new forms of energy, which we are tapping, and they make even nuclear energy look trivial in comparison. And when we control those energy sources, the universe will open up."
And then Clarke took an opportunity to rebut those who refuse to believe even well documented events, specifically, the Apollo moon missions. Responding to a recent television program claiming the Apollo landings were faked, Clarke said, "I can't imagine anybody being stupid enough to think that a program involving hundreds of thousands of people, carried out over a period of [more than a decade], in a blaze of publicity, could possibly be faked. Ben Franklin said, 'A conspiracy of three people can be kept secret, if two of them are dead!'"

Motor Ghosts of India

MUMBAI-Motor and the human framework may not be combined. But for the builder of this one, both are combined to create even like the new iron horses rise from the grave.
If some kind of chopper motorcycle owners want luxury look with a chrome fused in some parts and combined special paint, the other with this motor.
Customs Vardenchi creations, a modification of the Indian house, managed to unite the whole concept of the human frame into a motorcycle.
"I've never been impressed with the results of this motor in the previous work," said the builder, as quoted from Topspeed, Thursday (18/3/2010).
Maybe he should be proud, because of his hard work for three months, almost no visible defects of the motor kemudia he named, The Skeletor. This motor is also acknowledged a celebrity booking Mumbai.
Want proof? Please look at the house that he headlights similar to the design of the human skull intact. While parts of the human hand front shock didaulat be Skeletor, complete with detailed craftsmanship fingers gripping the wheel as the front.
Continue to the middle, the back bones of the human skeleton decorate the chopper tank. To be more similar to the original framework of human bones, the builder actually copying the design of the human skeleton he was seeking from the various photographs on the internet.
For the seat, the hip bones into this sector ration. Then forwarded to the thigh and leg bones which served as the arms swing back and as a place to put it behind the wheel.
Modifikator also seems reluctant to apply a different color than the color of a typical human skeleton and some of the original black color makes maik look haunted.
Maybe Skeletor deserve diujuluki 'Motor Ghosts of India
