border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt=""/&gt;Visiting to Jakarta yesterday, New York Islamic Center's Imam Shamsi Ali spoke to Antara about the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), &lt;a href="http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/visiting-new-york-imam-calls-on-fpi-to-rethink-its-methods/499750" rel="nofollow"&gt;asking the hard-liner group to reconsider its methods&lt;/a&gt; to do the dakwah. Ali, along with
13 other interfaith
representatives from the
United States, was in Jakarta to deliver a
message of peace and harmony
through religious tolerance.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“The FPI still exists because
there is public pressure to
reduce unjust things in society.
But, I disagree that you reduce
unjust things through unjust
ways, which contradicts the
ethics of Islam.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

“That is why I really ask the FPI
to rethink their ways, because
Islam will always leads toward
peace, not cruelty.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

“According to history, [Prophet]
Mohammad always uses
persuasive and peaceful
methods to teach his
messages.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-4887670360488621424?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/4887670360488621424/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2012/02/visiting-to-jakarta-yesterday-new-york.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/4887670360488621424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/4887670360488621424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2012/02/visiting-to-jakarta-yesterday-new-york.html' title='FPI should reconsider its methods'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3Uph7kRRrjo/S-Gorbwwm8I/AAAAAAAAAD8/oBCpwByEHfw/s72-c/fpi_anarkis4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-3036679268419155607</id><published>2012-02-21T15:14:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2012-02-21T15:17:11.993+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><title type='text'>Indonesian LinkedIn members are now more than 1 million</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GjHo6VRVDjk/TuymEngARkI/AAAAAAAABCc/W60TgxhYk9Y/s320/linkedin.png" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt=""/&gt;As I was checking my email this morning, I found a message from LinkedIn, saying that it has now passed 1 million Indonesian members. Indonesia is an important market, indeed. LinkedIn, a business related social networking site, was founded in December 2002 and launched in May 2003. I joined the service in 2008, although I don't really involve myself in the site activities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

The email says:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week a tremendous
milestone was achieved when
we exceeded 1 million
members from Indonesia on
the LinkedIn network!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

I would like to thank you for
your support in helping grow
the network to this level.
LinkedIn connects over 150
million members worldwide to
find jobs, gain and share
insights, grow a business and
much more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LinkedIn's growth is very significant, and the increase of its members is even faster than Facebook, which is also huge in the country; Indonesia is Facebook's third largest market. Speaking to techno site &lt;a href="http://thenextweb.com/asia/2012/02/21/growing-faster-than-facebook-linkedin-passes-1-million-members-in-indonesia/" rel="nofollow"&gt;The Next Web&lt;/a&gt;, LinkedIn says:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Indonesia is an important
market for us where we
see a huge potential for
growth. Two months after
the launch of the local
language site, this is a
significant milestone for us
that demonstrate that
professionals in Indonesia
are interested in building
their online brand on
LinkedIn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://budiputra.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Budi Putra&lt;/a&gt;, my Indonesian fellow blogger who was a former editor for Yahoo!, says that the news is good for the business world in the country:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This stats show that
Indonesian professionals
have started to believe
that online presence is
important and crucial, and
this is a good news.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-3036679268419155607?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/3036679268419155607/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2012/02/indonesian-linkedin-members-are-now.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/3036679268419155607'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/3036679268419155607'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2012/02/indonesian-linkedin-members-are-now.html' title='Indonesian LinkedIn members are now more than 1 million'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GjHo6VRVDjk/TuymEngARkI/AAAAAAAABCc/W60TgxhYk9Y/s72-c/linkedin.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-7326738028397126640</id><published>2012-02-21T00:38:00.002+07:00</published><updated>2012-02-21T00:43:39.944+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='controversy'/><title type='text'>OIC says FPI should not act on behalf of Islam</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9t9dJIO9A50/T0KFGzEUt4I/AAAAAAAAA0Q/uOKnqYZSVp8/s320/SBY%252520Ekmeleddin.main%252520story-715600.jpg" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt=""/&gt;Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, questioned the decision of hard-liner group Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) to label themselves as an Islamic community, reiterating that Islam has a
standard for the Holy Koran
and sunnah (traditions of the
Prophet Muhammad).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ihsanoglu told English newspaper &lt;a href="http://m.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/02/20/who-authorized-fpi-act-behalf-islam-oic.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;The Jakarta Post&lt;/a&gt; at
the Presidential Office on
Monday:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;From where did they get the
license to do such things?
When somebody says ‘I am
doing this in the name of
Islam,’ we have to question
who gave them the license to
speak on behalf of Islam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hours before Habib Rizieq and his members landed, the locals had stayed at the airport, looking for them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

In &lt;a href="/2010/01/gowah-blimbing-paciran.html"&gt;Blimbing&lt;/a&gt;, a village where I currently live, the headliner group has also flourished and multiplied. They target youth and people with little Islamic knowledge. A lot of things have changed since they occupied the village, but another thing happened: violence often comes from the FPI members rather than criminals. They hit, kick and punch everyone that they think is not in accordance with Islamic syariah (rules).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Concerning all the violence by FPI, what Palangkarayan people do, in my opinion, is right. &lt;a href="http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/protest-keeps-islamic-defenders-front-members-away-from-central-kalimantan/497375" rel="nofollow"&gt;The Jakarta Globe&lt;/a&gt; has the report:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Around 700 local residents
searched passengers who got
off airplanes that landed at
Tjilik Riwut airport looking for
FPI members.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Some FPI members, including
chairman Habib Rizieq, were
headed to Palangkaraya for
the inauguration of FPI board
members at the Palangkaraya
chapter.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
“People rejected them and
demonstrated,” Norman Dani,
head of Tjilik airport, said as
quoted by Detik.com.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The Indonesian Council of Ulama
(MUI) had earlier warned FPI
not to go to Palangkaraya. But
since members were already on
their way, airport management
called the airplane operator to
divert the plane to
Banjarmasin, East Kalimantan
and asked FPI members to get
off the plane.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
“We don’t want any clashes or
destruction, “ Norman said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
After blocking the airport for
more than two hours, locals

In Singapore, maids should pass the English language test before they start working. Sulastri, who died last year, has made the Singapore government drop the
test for new maids and replace
it with a settling-in program, &lt;a href="http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/english-test-spurred-indonesian-maids-suicide-singapore-coroner/496925" rel="nofollow"&gt;The Jakarta Globe&lt;/a&gt; reported.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, a coroner found
that Sulastri meant to kill
herself.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The maid, who went by one
name, was found hanging in the
shower at a boarding house for
new domestic workers on May
28. She died in hospital four
days later.&lt;/p&gt;
State Coroner &lt;p&gt;Imran Abdul
Hamid said there was no
evidence of foul play. Instead,
her death was “an intentional
act on her part.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The maid and her family faced a
large financial loss if she was
sent back to Indonesia. Sulastri
had reportedly borrowed Rp 7
million ($785) from relatives to
work here.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Indonesian maids have to pay
an average of 3,000 Singapore
dollars ($2,500) to come to
Singapore. This includes agent’s
fees and medical check-ups,
and is deducted from their
salary of about 350 Singapore
dollars a month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I myself, as a blogger, have so far done what journalists usually do: interviewing people, visiting places, and sometimes getting involved in chaos and protests -- risking my life in the middle of conflicts. And in Makassar, South Sulewasi, on late Sunday a journalist was attacked by motorcycle gang.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/journalist-beaten-by-motorcycle-gang-in-makassar/496376" rel="nofollow"&gt;The Jakarta Globe&lt;/a&gt; has the details:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Andri Jufri, a cameraman for Makassar TV, said he stopped his motorcycle to reply to a text message when he was approached by a man who abruptly hit him. Seconds later, members of a local bike gang attacked him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Andri was saved by a local resident and he went to the Botoala subdistrict police office to report the incident.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Mardiana Rusli, chairman of the local chapter of the Independent Journalist Alliance (AJI), said that his office would support Andri throughout police’s investigation process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-6022394393862242504?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/6022394393862242504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2012/02/makassar-journalist-was-attacked-by.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/6022394393862242504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/6022394393862242504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2012/02/makassar-journalist-was-attacked-by.html' title='A Makassar journalist was attacked by motorcycle gang'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AgJ9l_7_eoY/TY9hpSN7fUI/AAAAAAAAA3k/b2zDRz1XIfw/s72-c/felix_venero_journalist1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-8102983188201800266</id><published>2012-02-04T02:14:00.003+07:00</published><updated>2012-02-04T08:05:31.024+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='adsense'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Google AdSense now supports bahasa Indonesia</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V7brGg1Zju4/TnxJAOTIsZI/AAAAAAAAAe4/BBt4x7-iKVc/s1600/mata.jpg" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt=""/&gt;Google Adsense, an ads service program owned by internet giant Google, now supports bahasa Indonesia. A very good news, indeed. Starting on February 2, 2011, users can publish their ads on Indonesian blogs and sites. "Adsense for content has been released for Indonesian market," said Niken Sesmaya, the AdSense account manager, on Thursday, as I quoted from &lt;a href="http://m.tempo.co/2012/02/02/381364/" rel="nofollow"&gt;Tempo.co&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Indonesian publishers may create an Adsense account using their bahasa Indonesia websites, something that is very different from the first time I registered on Google Adsense in 2008, where I had to make several blogs in English. On its &lt;a href="http://adsense.blogspot.com/2012/02/adsense-now-speaks-indonesian.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;official blog&lt;/a&gt;, Google wrote, "AdSense now speaks Indonesian," referring to kecak dance, wayang kulit and Indonesian recipes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to that, Google AdSense for mobile has earlier been released for bahasa Indonesia, though it still can't be placed in Blogger blogs. Those who have a mobile weblog will be likely to see ads on their page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-8102983188201800266?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/8102983188201800266/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2012/02/google-adsense-ads-service-program.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/8102983188201800266'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/8102983188201800266'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2012/02/google-adsense-ads-service-program.html' title='Google AdSense now supports bahasa Indonesia'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V7brGg1Zju4/TnxJAOTIsZI/AAAAAAAAAe4/BBt4x7-iKVc/s72-c/mata.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-3861796933266865032</id><published>2012-01-31T03:07:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2012-01-31T03:10:20.156+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='facebook'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hack'/><title type='text'>Script to see who delete you on Facebook</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xhLgHN5VEyM/TkxvrhdtcmI/AAAAAAAAAFw/vvOMHbQhGMg/s1600/Facebook-bulk-add-friends%255B1%255D.png" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt=""/&gt;To be frankly, I never care about how many friends I have on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. On Facebook, for example, I only add real friends, people who I know in real life -- and no wonder, most of my Facebook friendship comes from people who found me from search engines and emails, from my blogs and sites.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For some of you, however, Facebook friends can mean a lot, and you might want to add more people if only Facebook allowed you to befriend over 5000.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Losing friends on Facebook, in this level, would feel like losing friends in real life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But have you ever wondered how to see who have removed you on Facebook? If you're one of those people who are curious about who unfriend you on Facebook, now there's a trick, some scripts to be exact, to view people deleting you, deactivating their account, and requesting friendship. The script works on Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer.&lt;/p&gt;

Judiciary Committee Chair
Representative Lamar Smith.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While the bill seems a good idea to stop piracy in the internet, it actually threatens freedom of speech and could screw up the entire
Web. Internet users, me included, protest against the bill. Just imagine, big websites such as Wikipedia, YouTube and Twitter will shut down because they are accused of enabling or facilitating copyright infringement. You can no more tweet a link of articles, nor upload videos of your neighbors doing freestyle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SOPA, writes &lt;a href="http://mashable.com/2012/01/18/sopa-and-pipa-protest/" rel="nofollow"&gt;Mashable&lt;/a&gt;, is currently stuck in the House Judiciary Committee, while the
Senate is scheduled to vote on
PIPA (Protect IP Act) January 24.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mashable also writes that around 1,500 people showed up outside the offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand for the rally Wednesday. Both Senators support SOPA and PIPA.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A protestor named Kate said, "I think an anti-piracy law is a great idea, I just don’t think this is it. It’s so broad and so vague that it’s
going to restrict everyone’s
freedom to use the Internet.

Two days ago, I received an email from my MXit friend Naeem in South Africa, in response to my post &lt;a href="/2012/01/dengok-pasar-cilik.html"&gt;Dengok Pasar Cilik&lt;/a&gt;, a traditional mini market in the village of &lt;a href="/2010/03/dengok.html"&gt;Kandangsemangkon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="/2010/04/paciran.html"&gt;Paciran&lt;/a&gt;. It is interesting to note that in his home town of Chatsworth, Naeem says, there is a small market called &lt;b&gt;Bangladesh Market,&lt;/b&gt; the one which is very similar to &lt;strong&gt;Dengok Pasar Cilik:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote style="color: #183c02;"&gt;
Hi David,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is &lt;span class="il"&gt;Naeem&lt;/span&gt; from South Africa. I read your 
very interesting article regarding the Dengok Mini Market, and we have a 
similar market here where I reside; it is called the Bangladesh Market, 
which is based in my home town of Chatsworth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the 
Chatsworth Coordinating Council which was instrumental in the 
development of the Bangladesh Market. One of its concerns was the 
senior citizens of the community. But it was really the senior citizens 
of the Chatsworth community who played the most significant role in the 
establishment of the market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The market today is mostly used by 
the poor and pensioners in order to give them the opportunity to generate some income to sustain their livelihood. Like the Dengok Mini
 Market, the Bangladesh Market is host to a variety of stalls, from 
foods, clothing, household appliances, and the list goes on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So 
thank you, Mr. Khoirul, for teaching me a little about your country. It was 
rather interesting to see the community work together to earn an honest 
living just like the people of our Bangladesh Market.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Built in 1995, the market opens daily from 6 to 9 a.m., and is crowded by villagers from surrounding places such as &lt;a href="/2010/01/gowah-blimbing-paciran.html"&gt;Blimbing&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="/2010/03/brondong.html"&gt;Brondong&lt;/a&gt;, and Paciran.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;The name Dengok Pasar Cilik was created by local youth who hanged out in that place every night, and later the head of the village, together with the villagers, agree with the name. Since then, the market which resides a small alley becomes well-known; almost any kind of things, from clothing to fish, can be found in the &lt;strong&gt;DPC&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

Make That Ten" by Steve Martin, a comedian and actor, is probably the first book written based on Twitter posts, storing a collection of his tweets since December 2010.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On a tweet, Martin announced his book, "Due to absolutely no
demand, soon I'm publishing a
book of my tweets. Many of
your replies included! All my profits to charity," as reported by &lt;a href="http://reuters.com/article/2011/10/28/us-books-stevemartin-idUSTRE79R58O20111028" rel="nofollow"&gt;Reuters&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Having 1.7 million followers, Martin previously wrote the book "The Object of Beauty" which
was published in 2010 and
made the New York Times
bestseller list. Martin's book gives me an idea of doing the same thing, but on Facebook: Why don't I make all my posts in the social network a book?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-6661198060231120942?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/6661198060231120942/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/ten-make-that-nine-habits-of-very.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/6661198060231120942'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/6661198060231120942'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/ten-make-that-nine-habits-of-very.html' title='&quot;The Ten, Make That Nine Habits, of Very Organized People.

This problem did not only occur to my account. All users who had uploaded photos via the app would lost their photos, even their albums.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Four days ago, thank God, all my photos were back. And up to now I have no idea whether this problem comes from Facebook or Mobile Media Uploader, but during my photos being lost, I put new images to Facebook, on the Mobile Upload album, by &lt;a href="/2011/05/how-to-upload-photos-to-facebook-via.html"&gt;uploading them via URL&lt;/a&gt;. Other than Mobile Upload album, Facebook does not allow mobile users to upload photos, unless they do it on a desktop browser, via Facebook full site.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A similar but slightly different case happened to a Facebook user in Ireland, a 24-year-old student -- making the company &lt;a href="http://mashable.com/2011/10/21/facebook-deleted-data-fine/" rel="nofollow"&gt;face $138,000 fine&lt;/a&gt; for holding his deleted data.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The case began when a 24-
year-old Austrian law
student, Max Schrems, asked
Facebook for a copy of all his
personal data in June.
Facebook complied, sending him a CD containing 1,200
pages of data, including his
likes, “friend” and “defriend”
history, and chat logs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The problem? Schrems had
deleted some of the data
returned to him from his
profile, yet Facebook retained
his information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-138687195804411188?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/138687195804411188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/facebook-is-to-be-fined-138000-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/138687195804411188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/138687195804411188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/facebook-is-to-be-fined-138000-for.html' title='Facebook is to be fined $138,000 for retaining user data'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_stjeo8TnIMM/TSlrw-us9VI/AAAAAAAAA3E/1TaX9YSfEB4/s72-c/FB.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-847773080897660684</id><published>2011-10-21T08:35:00.003+07:00</published><updated>2011-10-21T16:46:25.326+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='review'/><title type='text'>Pemburu Rembulan</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://arulchandrana.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/pemburu-rembulan.jpg" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt="Pemburu Rembulan by Arul Chandrana"/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pemburu Rembulan,&lt;/b&gt; or The Moon Catcher, tells a story of two best friends, two ideas, and two challenges in the exotic island of Bawean, a quiet place, about 15 km north of Surabaya in the Java sea. Arul, a teacher, is determined to give better education for Bawean kids. And Amar, who is a climber and has been Arul's best friend since they were at college, turns to be a businessman.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the island where endemic species Bawean deer (rusa Bawean) can only be found, Arul and Amar spend most of his time teaching 13 students at Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur'an (TPA) or Quranic School. They meet old-minded teachers who reject every kind of modern approaches to education. Amar and Arul work hard to convince people and give understandings about how this new approach will transform the way they learn, the way they teach, for a better learning environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And although Amar and Arul are always afraid of ghosts, they believe in one thing: Great heroes are those who keep fighting even though they don't have great power.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The author, &lt;a href="http://arulchandrana.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Arul Chandrana&lt;/a&gt;, moved from Bawean to the Java island in 2005 to pursue a higher education. From 2005 to 2009, he studied English Education at the University of Ronggolawe in Tuban, East Java, while working and living with his brothers in Jompong, a small village in Lamongan.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Arul's writing style is quite new to Indonesian readers. Fond of reading American literatures of great authors such as Charles Dickens and Hemingway, Arul says he gets a lot of influences of the style. In most of his writings, Arul plays with rhythm and pace, rhyme and word choice, sentence structure and punctuation. He exploits the complexity of language, something that most Indonesian writers do not do. Arul does not fear long sentences; the usage of dashes and semicolons; and, of course, humor. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bawean, an island with winding shores and small bays, is an isolated place where Arul spent his childhood and learnt writings at the age of 12 by reading and rewriting series Wiro Sableng by Bastian Tito. The first book that he claims has influenced his style is Ziarah by Iwan Simatupang, a book he stole from his school library when he was in Senior High School.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Divided into two regions, Sangkapura and Tambak, Bawean is a home for Arul Chandrana despite the fact that he was born in the Java island.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pemburu Rembulan is truly an inspiring novel, a good read for you who seek a different style in telling stories -- it's worth reading.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-847773080897660684?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/847773080897660684/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/pemburu-rembulan.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/847773080897660684'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/847773080897660684'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/pemburu-rembulan.html' title='Pemburu Rembulan'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-6226876725287952721</id><published>2011-10-20T07:58:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2011-10-20T07:59:10.989+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='social network'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><title type='text'>Google Plus receives 3.4 billion photo uploads</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd361/Garyu70/google_plus_one.jpg" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt=""/&gt;In the last 100 days, &lt;a href="/2011/07/google-plus-is-mobile.html"&gt;Google Plus&lt;/a&gt;, the social networking service of Google Inc., has &lt;a href="http://mashable.com/2011/10/19/google-users-have-posted-3-4-billion-photos/" rel="nofollow"&gt;received 3.4 billion photos&lt;/a&gt;, as revealed by Google's SVP of social Vic Gundotra on Wednesday. I am amazed at this number, though I myself am not an active user of Google+.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the Web 2.0 conference, Vic responded a question by the audience as to whether there are any statistics that prove the usage of Google+, before he described how many photo uploads Google received.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And although it is lower than the number of photos uploaded on Facebook -- which is up to &lt;a href="http://mashable.com/2011/02/14/facebook-photo-infographic/" rel="nofollow"&gt;6 billion photos&lt;/a&gt; per month -- I believe Google Plus will soon be a big rival for Mark Zuckerberg's social network. Google Plus now has 40 million users in just four months. In the next few months, it is predicted the number will double.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-6226876725287952721?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/6226876725287952721/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/google-plus-receives-34-billion-photo.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/6226876725287952721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/6226876725287952721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/google-plus-receives-34-billion-photo.html' title='Google Plus receives 3.4 billion photo uploads'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-1704442094300540699</id><published>2011-10-17T17:10:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2011-10-17T17:11:19.882+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='adsense'/><title type='text'>Google Adsense for Mobile Content is now available in Indonesia</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QGUTVZ_sYFU/S_ZkNPlfylI/AAAAAAAAABo/UpvPsVnhV-Q/s320/google-cell.jpg" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt="Google Adsense for mobile content is available in Indonesia"/&gt;I stumbled upon a Google Adsense ad for Mobile Content on Indonesian news portal &lt;a href="http://m.detik.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;DetikCOM&lt;/a&gt; via Opera Mini this afternoon, and wondered how it could display the ads. Google Adsense for Mobile, as most people understand, is not available in Indonesia.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Curious and confused, I google-searched for Adsense Mobile Content. I came across &lt;a href="http://adsense.blogspot.com/2011/05/adsense-for-mobile-content-in-15-new.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Adsense official blog post&lt;/a&gt; explaining that more than 14 countries, including Malaysia, Hong Kong and Indonesia, have now supported the Mobile Content. If a publisher develops mobile apps, he can also use Admob -- which has now been integrated with Google Adsense -- to show ads in the applications.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With this new update, the Mobile Content now supports bahasa Indonesia, which makes it easy for publishers and Indonesian bloggers like me to display the ads on non-English wapsites. I think I have to make my own bahasa Indonesia mobile blog now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-1704442094300540699?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/1704442094300540699/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/google-adsense-for-mobile-content-is.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/1704442094300540699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/1704442094300540699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/google-adsense-for-mobile-content-is.html' title='Google Adsense for Mobile Content is now available in Indonesia'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QGUTVZ_sYFU/S_ZkNPlfylI/AAAAAAAAABo/UpvPsVnhV-Q/s72-c/google-cell.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-2630132335011938086</id><published>2011-10-15T05:01:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2011-10-15T05:06:32.584+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><title type='text'>Google Chrome reaches 200 million users</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OUDXWVi9K3A/TSQH2mtG-tI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Gd-_7jeFcmA/s1600/google-chrome-colour3.jpg" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt=""/&gt;When it comes to internet desktop browser, I always recommend Mozilla Firefox. But other than Firefox -- and just in case you'd like something new -- you may also want to try Opera, Safari browser, Internet Explorer, or the three-year-old Google Chrome, which has now reached 200 million users as announced Tuesday by Google CEO Larry Page.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In May, according to &lt;a href="http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Desktops-and-Notebooks/Google-Chrome-Tops-20-Or-13-For-June-483512/" rel="nofollow"&gt;eWeek&lt;/a&gt;, the users of Google Chrome was rising up to 160 users. And while Firefox is still used by many, Google Chrome has surpassed its popularity with about 15% market share.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mashable &lt;a href="http://mashable.com/2011/10/13/google-chrome-browser-200m/" rel="nofollow"&gt;wrote&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chrome’s growth had been
noted elsewhere. The browser
has about 15% market share and in some markets, like the
UK, it has surpassed Firefox’s
share to become the second
most popular browser after
IE. Among Mashable readers,
meanwhile, Chrome is the most popular.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're asking what browser I use to browse the internet, download files and applications, or write this blog post, then the answer would be none of the above; I'm using a powerful mobile browser on my Nokia N70 called Opera Mini.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-2630132335011938086?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/2630132335011938086/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/google-chrome-reaches-200-million-users.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/2630132335011938086'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/2630132335011938086'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/google-chrome-reaches-200-million-users.html' title='Google Chrome reaches 200 million users'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OUDXWVi9K3A/TSQH2mtG-tI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Gd-_7jeFcmA/s72-c/google-chrome-colour3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-5958202214613584851</id><published>2011-10-12T06:25:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2011-10-12T06:28:22.047+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Why did Steve Jobs like to wear turtlenecks?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NTheKwKAH_o/TozwU0zxX5I/AAAAAAAAAPw/kFvVmP1ezPo/s1600/Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt="Steve Jobs turtlenecks"/&gt;My friend &lt;a href="http://arulchandrana.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Arul Chandrana&lt;/a&gt;, a novelist and blogger, once posted a Facebook status saying that every big person has his own personal uniform, including apple co-founder Steve Jobs who, during his lifetime, more often than not, appeared in black turtlenecks. In fact, his turtlenecks, glasses and jeans had made him recognizable. But in the context of company uniform, wouldn't he have to wear them if his employees had accepted the nylon jacket he purposed?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Writer Walter Isaacson, who wrote a biography of Steve Jobs, revealed in his book why Steve liked to wear turtlenecks:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a trip to Japan in the
early 1980s, Jobs asked
Sony's chairman Akio
Morita why everyone
in the company's
factories wore uniforms. He told Jobs
that after the war, no
one had any clothes,
and companies like
Sony had to give their
workers something to wear each day. Over
the years, the uniforms
developed their own
signatures styles,
especially at companies
such as Sony, and it became a way of
bonding workers to the
company. "I decided
that I wanted that type
of bonding for Apple,"
Jobs recalled.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Sony, with its
appreciation for style,
had gotten the famous
designer Issey Miyake
to create its uniform. It
was a jacket made of rip-stop nylon with
sleeves that could unzip
to make it a vest. So
Jobs called Issey Miyake
and asked him to design
a vest for Apple, Jobs recalled, "I came back
with some samples and
told everyone it would
great if we would all
wear these vests. Oh
man, did I get booed off the stage.
Everybody hated the
idea."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the process,
however, he became
friends with Miyake
and would visit him
regularly. He also came
to like the idea of having a uniform for
himself, both because of
its daily convenience
(the rationale he
claimed) and its ability
to convey a signature style. "So I asked Issey
to make me some of his
black turtlenecks that I
liked, and he made me
like a hundred of
them." Jobs noticed my surprise when he told
this story, so he
showed them stacked
up in the closet. "That's
what I wear," he said.
"I have enough to last for the rest of my life."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-5958202214613584851?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/5958202214613584851/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/why-did-steve-jobs-like-to-wear.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/5958202214613584851'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/5958202214613584851'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/why-did-steve-jobs-like-to-wear.html' title='Why did Steve Jobs like to wear turtlenecks?'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NTheKwKAH_o/TozwU0zxX5I/AAAAAAAAAPw/kFvVmP1ezPo/s72-c/Steve_Jobs_Headshot_2010-CROP.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-7657041915863925839</id><published>2011-10-10T11:23:00.006+07:00</published><updated>2011-10-10T11:38:22.888+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Husband punches wife for not 'Liking' his Facebook status update</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Mzs7w8PHC58/TjIdpRVBF0I/AAAAAAAABAg/McQTkDqEKGU/s1600/Facebook_Like_Button_Real.jpg" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt="Husband punches wife for not Liking Facebook status"/&gt;What will you do if you post a status update to Facebook and your wife doesn't comment nor "Like" it. Punch her? Kill her? In Texas, USA, a 36-year-old man named Benito Apolinar was charged guilty of battery after he punched his wife on Tuesday for not 'Liking' his status on Facebook about the anniversary of his mom's death. His wife, who has accompanied him for 15 years, was punched in the cheek, and her hair was pulled. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Being at the top of his anger, Benito shouted to her, "That's amazing everyone 'Likes' my status but you, you are my wife. You should be the first one to 'Like' my status."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Benito was reportedly under the influence of alcohol when he confronted his wife.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think it's true that social networking sites like Facebook, apart from its many advantages, have changed the way people interact and communicate with others. Just because of his wife not Liking his status update, this guy can punch the one he should actually love. Here in Indonesia, I also hear a lot of news on TV, radio, newspaper, and online media about teenage girls being kidnapped by her Face-boyfriend, a boyfriend that a girl meets on Facebook but never sees in real life.&lt;/p&gt;

I guess it must be raining. The air around turned cold, and I couldn't stand moving to my bedroom or I'll be frozen. Yes, the rain, for the first time since about four or five months ago, has poured here in the village of Blimbing in East Java.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Whispering to myself, I thanked God. Yesterday afternoon with the help of my friend Jhony, I repaired my broken water pump, pulling it up from my traditional well. Water, though still available in Blimbing, becomes a massive crisis in many places in Indonesia. If you watch your TV in the morning, you can hear the news about hundreds of people in rural areas relying water on a single well, or sometimes from dirty mud. Dry season in Indonesia has triggered this crisis. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

In Indramayu, West Java, people collect dirty watter from a gutter. They filter it before using it for bathing, washing and cooking. In Tegal, People had to consume muddy water. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

According to the head of Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), dry season would possibly end next month, and the rain last night, thank God, might be just the beginning and the sign of a new season, rainy season. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-1745460815301470738?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/1745460815301470738/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/thank-god-it-rained.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/1745460815301470738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/1745460815301470738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/thank-god-it-rained.html' title='Thank God, it rained'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-uEi78YSM8o/TROCUbd7yzI/AAAAAAAAAA4/NRFkKE-o9ig/s72-c/20090714143204.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-3293448582705995596</id><published>2011-10-08T12:22:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2011-10-08T12:24:12.713+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>How the last true hacker Richard Stallman eulogizes Steve Jobs</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://ozgurilgin.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/richard_stallman-full.jpg" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt="Richard M. Stallman comments on Steve Jobs death"/&gt;&lt;a href="/2011/10/apple-co-founder-steve-jobs-died.html"&gt;The death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs&lt;/a&gt; has brought a lot of sadness among colleagues, friends, and many people in the world. Steve plays an important role in the birth of modern technology. In 1976, he founded Apple. And now as the technology is growing, Apple has produced several innovative products, including iPad and iPhone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Although I myself heard his name -- especially after I became a techno lover -- just in a couple of years, I felt that I had lost an important person, an amazing human being.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

However, unlike many techno geeks who express their condolence for Steve, free software leader Richard M. Stallman made controversial remarks on his political blog, saying that he is "not glad he's dead but I'm glad he's gone."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Stallman, who's famous for his unusual way of surfing the net without web browsers, is an anti-social, radical person. He also has controversial beliefs, especially when it comes to software.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

To be frankly, I'm bothered by Stallman's remarks; he has gone too far with his comments on Jobs' death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Here are the full comments of Stallman posted on &lt;a href="http://stallman.org/archives/2011-jul-oct.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;his personal blog&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the
computer as a jail made cool,
designed to sever fools from their
freedom, has died.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Chicago Mayor Harold
Washington said of the corrupt
former Mayor Daley, “I’m not glad
he’s dead, but I’m glad he’s gone.”
Nobody deserves to have to die –
not Jobs, not Mr. Bill, not even
people guilty of bigger evils than
theirs. But we all deserve the end
of Jobs’ malign influence on
people’s computing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, that influence
continues despite his absence. We
can only hope his successors, as
they attempt to carry on his
legacy, will be less effective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Post your your voice here if you think Stallman's comments went too far.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-3293448582705995596?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/3293448582705995596/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/how-last-true-hacker-richard-stallman.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/3293448582705995596'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/3293448582705995596'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/how-last-true-hacker-richard-stallman.html' title='How the last true hacker Richard Stallman eulogizes Steve Jobs'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-1377046396101391276</id><published>2011-10-06T08:41:00.001+07:00</published><updated>2011-10-06T08:41:25.256+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eAkvYUIZzVc/TTRzHNmGu4I/AAAAAAAABDU/hX0xIVHJgaM/s400/steve-jobs1.jpg" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt="Steve Jobs died at the age of 56"/&gt;Apple chairman &lt;b&gt;Steve Jobs&lt;/b&gt;, who in August stepped down from his position as CEO, died on Wednesday at the age of 56.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

In the front page of &lt;b&gt;apple.com&lt;/b&gt;, a picture of Steve was displayed, and in the second page, a &lt;a href="http://www.apple.com/stevejobs/" rel="nofollow"&gt;tribute&lt;/a&gt; to the industry leader:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Steve Jobs&lt;br/&gt;
1955-2011&lt;br/&gt;
Apple has lost a visionary
and creative genius, and
the world has lost an
amazing human being. Those of us who’ve been
fortunate enough to know
and work with Steve lost
a dear friend and inspiring
mentor. Steve leaves
behind a company that
only he could have built,
and his spirit will forever
be the foundation of
Apple.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

your thoughts, memories,

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Apple, the company Steve co-founded in 1976, post a statement:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are deeply saddened
to announce that Steve
Jobs passed away today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Steve’s brilliance, passion
and energy were the
source of countless
innovations that enrich
and improve all of our
lives. The world is
immeasurably better
because of Steve.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His greatest love was for
his wife, Laurene, and his
family. Our hearts go out
to them and to all who
were touched by his
extraordinary gifts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4522823812821359200-1377046396101391276?l=www.davidkhoirul.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/feeds/1377046396101391276/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/apple-co-founder-steve-jobs-died.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/1377046396101391276'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4522823812821359200/posts/default/1377046396101391276'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.davidkhoirul.net/2011/10/apple-co-founder-steve-jobs-died.html' title='Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died'/><author><name>David Khoirul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06217011117633248683</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzmC42csW0A/Tcni6YKLvRI/AAAAAAAAAp0/c9P0RWqg72M/s220/222181_1695709753153_1250100710_31422647_720322_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eAkvYUIZzVc/TTRzHNmGu4I/AAAAAAAABDU/hX0xIVHJgaM/s72-c/steve-jobs1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522823812821359200.post-1716572304723773345</id><published>2011-10-05T19:11:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2011-10-05T19:12:11.614+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trick'/><title type='text'>Read or even download Google Books for free</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8iSoMpejlo/TT_CGVSr3OI/AAAAAAAAAuY/d8y0mZ_uQnY/s1600/google-books-logo1.jpg" border="0" width="150" style="float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0px;" alt="how to download hack google books free"/&gt;Anyone who's crazy about reading should be familiar with Google Books, a service that searches the full text of books online.
