Facebook Ownership Change Capital


Largest social networking companies in the world, Facebook Inc.. change the ownership structure. Facebook now has two types of shares. Company closed in the United States, including Google, are usually made of two types of shares if they want to sell the stake in the stock.

But Facebook denies this stock solution is their first step into the market. "We introduced two types of stocks because shareholders want to retain veto power over certain issues. The solution aims to ensure the company's shares to focus on long-term development agenda," said Larry Yu, spokesperson for Facebook.

In May, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of the site, states did not close the public options. But Zuckerberg emphasized that went into the stock plan will not be realized in the near future. Digital Sky Technologies of Russia had offered to invest U.S. $ 200 million in Facebook.

Turkey Develop Search Engines


Turkey plans to develop a search engine devoted to serving the search needs in a virtual world for the people of Turkey. The search engine is scheduled to be operational in 2010.

"I believe that we made the search engine will be popular in Turkey and countries in other Muslim and I am also convinced that our country will believe this search engine," said Chairman of Information Technologies and Communications Authority Board, Turkey, Tayfun Acarer as reported by Xinhua, Sunday (29/11/20090.

The development of the domestic search engine that also consider the security aspects of the state. So far, Turkish internet users are always using the foreign-owned search engine like Yahoo and Google.

In addition, Acacer revealed that, the whole machine pencarai current, sometimes not able to meet the needs of Turkish society. Therefore, in addition to Turkish search engines will also develop other projects such as the special email address for the 70 million citizens. Later, every Turkish citizen will get a quota of approximately 10 gigabytes for the email that is connected also with other identification numbers and cell phone numbers.

"The project is currently in trials and the entire software infrastructure is ready," said Acacer.

Hopefully, with the network system, citizens of Turkey will soon switch from email service providers such as Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail.

Suicide group on Facebook under investigation Police


The parents in Hong Kong was hit by anxiety, because a group of 208 Facebook members are invited to commit suicide en masse. The police were investigating the group that triggered the problem created because the value of school and parental pressures.

Search trace maker China language Facebook group which invites members to conduct a mass suicide on December 21, 2009, continue to be the authorities. Moreover, nearly 190 of its members are committed to conduct a mass suicide. Even now the two groups appeared on Facebook, and invited 98 members perbuataan these desperate.

"What's life? Person you love fall in love with someone else. The adults are always right. We're always wrong. Why do not we die alone together?," Wrote the group, was quoted on CNN, Saturday (28/11/2009) .

Criminal Bureau of Hong Kong until now still not been able to discover the identity of the founder of Facebook, they could thwart suicide one of the students in those countries that tried to jump from the roof of the school building.

Microsoft to Offer Paid Media to Leave Google


The competition between Google and Microsoft entered a new round of fighting over media content online. The giant software maker is reportedly planning to pay for any media that would remove all content from Google's search results. Previously Microsoft had took Yahoo to strengthen its search engine business is given the name Bing.

According to sources quoted by AFP, it is being discussed between Microsoft and Rupert Murdoch, a seasoned entrepreneur who has a leading media network News Corp.. The rationale underlying the offer is the search engine providers should not be casually indexing media content without providing compensation.

Previously, Murdoch had asked the plan to delete all the media content from Google's search results within two years. What does Google have been thought harmful for not giving the media a significant compensation of the Google results. Business value derived from Google's search results are also not comparable to the value ditangguk the giant search engine.

Murdoch also argued that the content is not supposed to be free on the Internet and remain in demand. Content from a number of popular media such as the Wall Street Journal will still be paid. It is thought the way that media remain in the online world. This is what he thinks the real impact of war between those who think all online content should be free and not.

Machine "Big Bang" Discover the Mysteries of the Universe


Some scientists European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) smashing two beams of protons for the first time in the tunnels along 27 miles of the French-Swiss border, on Monday (23/11) local time. The main purpose of the experiment is to find out how the universe was formed after the Big Bang happened 13.7 billion years ago.

The researchers hope some initial clues about the origins of the universe can be known in a few months. "This is a wonderful thing that we can do the research so far," said CERN chief, General Rolf Heuer told Reuters.

Heuer machine gunners claimed two subatomic particles, "Big Bang Machine" or the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) recently reactivated after a halt due to an accident 14 months ago. The accident occurred just ten days from the first day lit.

Previously, physicist Steve Myers could say it may take until 2011 for these two beams of protons can reach top speeds. The results are quite promising research going on at the CERN research center in Geneva. At that time the particle collision energy to produce nearly equivalent to the Big Bang.

The scientists believe can create conditions similar to the extraordinary explosion that occurred billions of years that if the LHC to operate at full power. They are now planning to increase the light intensity and acceleration so it can collect enough data to continue the experiment.

Korea Successfully Develops Invisible Camera


Human desire to see objects that are not visible to the naked eye, seems not a problem today. As a real example, hobbies watching movies can be an opportunity to meet the human desire to peep the life of others.
Therefore, the scientific world on an adventure to complete the demands of human life through the development of equipment that can see through. South Korea has recently successfully developed a camera that can be transparent through the good parts of the clothes and objects in the fog. Development of millimeter wave camera for the second time in the world

A South Korean research institute on 19 October last in Yongin city, province Kyeonggi, held a presentation about the capabilities MIRAE, Millimeter-Wave Imaging Radiometer Equipment, or the kind of camera that can detect millimeter wave so transparent.
In the presentation, MIRAE accurately captured the position and the outline of a car behind a thick screen. Meanwhile, ordinary cameras and an infrared ray camera failed to capture the position and outline of the car. In addition, the transparent camera capable of taking images of real objects that are in flames and smoke of the fire and managed to detect a gun hidden in clothing. According to these institutions, they successfully developed the transparent camera after devoting his efforts during the last 3 years. This is the second success in the world.

Secret millimeter wave

Millimeter wave is the main key for the development of transparent camera. The theory of the use of transparent light waves outside the visible light area that can not be seen or felt by humans. Through the process of millimeter wave image looks relatively long compared with the wave of visible light and infrared rays, we can see objects that are in a state of vague due to the barrier.
Millimeter wave camera can take images of objects, through the acceptance of millimeter wave emitted directly from the object it naturally. Use this camera does not cause negative impacts to human health. Does the camera's infrared rays and X-rays that had long used in human life, capable of invisibility?
Rays that can penetrate the barrier
We are able to see through the changes transparent infrared rays emitted from our bodies naturally become visible light, such as infrared ray camera, although we can not see objects beyond the reach of infrared rays and ultra violet rays. Infrared light has long waves can penetrate both the fabric and dark clothes to find the object position. The function is now applied to launch a SAR activities. Additionally, X-ray at the airport is used to detect what is hidden under clothing or in the human body in order to prevent the things that are not expected in the protection of passenger safety.

In a recent edition of this, the British science magazine, New Scientist 10produk introduce science can change the pattern of human life on a large scale in the next 30 years. In these products, there are tools we can use to see an object that is hidden, like a Superman.
In other words, the world of science and international technology now make every effort to develop the technology transparent. University of Utah research team, the United States has developed technology that can track down the movements of people or objects behind a thick wall with a radio transmitter without a cable, the image retrieval method without the cable vertical, or RTI.

United States army also managed to develop LifeReader technology, namely wireless equipment that can monitor heart rate and breathing at the same time a group of people. Plus, an advanced technology was also developed to transfer the information collected by the miniature digital camera on the glasses worn by blind people to the electrodes implanted in blind people's tongues. In conclusion, the time soon, the development of science.

Only 30 companies Internet Domination


In the past two years, the Internet has changed drastically in the infrastructure and economy. There are only 30 large companies that dominate the virtual world. According to a study conducted Arbor Networks and the University of Michigan.

Research for two years analyzing more than 256 exabytes of data traffic on the 110 cable operators, transit backbones, regional networks and content providers around the world, and get that 30 "giant hyper" responsible for 30 percent of traffic on the Internet.

In 2009 the Internet Observatory Report, Arbor Networks says that five years ago the Internet traffic is spread fairly evenly in the tens of thousands of sites and servers that run large companies. But the content is now circulating in only a handful of hosting, cloud and its content providers are very large.


Craig Labovitz, chief researcher, said that half of Internet traffic in 2007, produced by 5000 to 10,000 companies. Since then, the aggregation of content caused only 150 companies are now responsible for traffic by the same amount each day. Companies that generate the most traffic are Google, Yahoo and Facebook.

This decline is a result of economic changes, the collapse of IP transit and increasing overall business model is driven by advertising. Labovitz obvious.

"The Internet is about connectivity, networks connected to each other," Labovitz said. "This is very hierarkial, with the money and traffic flows in the direction of (the transit provider to the first-tier). But the content is now more valuable than connectivity. "

Other effects of economic change is, in addition to the consolidation of content, the big content providers like Google to build direct relationships with its customers, without going through the first-tier providers.

Arbor report also highlights how Internet applications basically have migrated to the Web. If the first protocol and application specific communication stack almost as much as the number of developers, now many have switched to a small number of web and video protocols - usually Flash.

The first twelve years the Internet is about connecting homes and businesses. This is about technology. Now there is connectivity everywhere, and the price decline and innovation happening there but not in content - has come closer to consumers and businesses, "Labovitz said.

"With the faster and better quality content, the Internet will change the face, and exciting for large companies and consumers. We are entering a second era of the Internet."

Galileo's finger and teeth found


After missing nearly a century, two fingers and teeth belonged to a world famous astronomer, Galileo Galilei discovered back in an auction event in Rome, Italy, recently. Previously teeth and fingers are collected by one of Galileo's Italian fans and continue to change hands from generation to generation. However, over time, the existence of a box containing two items are missing in 1905.

At first buyer at these auctions do not realize that the box containing the relics of Galileo. But, out of curiosity, he was contacted Paolo Galluzi, head of Museum of History and Science in the City of Florence. After examining historical records and other documents, concluded Galluzi teeth and fingers is the property of Galileo.

As reported by the Associated Press, Saturday (21/11), Galileo was an astronomer, philosopher, and physicist who has been censured by the Vatican for saying the earth revolved around the sun. At that time the church in the Vatican teaches the earth is the center of the solar system. In early 1990, Pope John Paul II said the church had been wrong to think, and justify claims of Galileo.

Megan Fox’s NYT outtakes courtesy

[gallery_main-0911_megan_fox_tiff_13.jpg]

I’d really like to hope that this is not really the way Angelina feels about Megan. What I want to believe is that either Angelina is like “Megan who now?” or that Angelina’s like “I’ll shank that sk-nky little poseur if she comes near me.” As much as the media seems to want to make the Angelina-Megan thing a competition, or that Megan is “replacing” the 34-year-old Jolie, I don’t really think that’s their dynamic. I think Megan stalks (”the comparison is the bane of my existence” she says), and Angelina is aware, but doesn’t really love or hate Megan. Certainly, Angelina wouldn’t care enough to give advice to Megan. Just my take.

[gallery_main-0911_megan_fox_tiff_22.jpg]


Transformers starlet Megan Fox, 23, has unabashedly talked up her lesbian trysts, wild temper and self-cutting. But Angelina Jolie has some advice for her young doppelganger: Shut your mouth.

[gallery_main-0911_megan_fox_tiff_23.jpg]


According to a Jolie source, “Angie has been saying, ‘That woman acts like a fool. She needs to mind her Ps and Qs. She’s saying shocking things for attention, but those things will follow her around and be reprinted forever.’”

[gallery_main-0911_megan_fox_tiff_21.jpg]


Jolie, of course, speaks from experience, the pal adds: “Angie said, ‘I wish someone had pulled me aside when I was young and told me that. Now I’ll forever be known as a lesbian or a self-cutter, instead of what I worked so hard to become. You have to put a muzzle on it!’”

New Intel Chip Supercomputer with 6 Core

Intel claims to have developed a chip-generation Nehalem-EX for use in the latest supercomputer machines.

Launched by Maximum PC, Tuesday (17/11/2009), the latest Intel chip is a new family of microprocessors and optimized for use in supercomputer technology.

The chip is equipped with six cores that can work with clock-speed higher than the version delapam core chip. A chip has approximately 256 CPU performance.

New Nehalem chip will be available next year.

Written by the same site, Intel is also rumored to have long term cooperation with NEC to develop a new supercomputer technologies. The two companies even agreed to eliminate the limitations in the performance of supercomputers by increasing the memory speed and skalabilitasnya.

NEC is also working to enhance cooperation with Intel, to develop the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX), an extension of the x86 architecture.

YouTube with Flatscreen Quality


Soon YouTube will support high resolution video that we usually enjoy on flatscreen TVs. The High Definition (HD) mode of YouTube will allow you to watch videos in HD 1080p ('p' is for progressive scan, or resolution). That was YouTube's claim. You can also watch videos in 720p, although the resolution ultimately depends on the original source.

This year, YouTube has supported HD videos. However, the maximum output of YouTube videos is limited at 720p. This video-sharing site explains its upgrade on its blog, "With the increasing resolution quality of consumers' cameras, we want to ensure that YouTube is the best web-hosting to showcase your videos. For those who have big monitors and high processor computers, try switching to 1080p to gain the best experience from a full screen."

The uploaded videos are still limited to 10 minutes, but the maximum file size may be increased to above 2 GB. If you just uploaded a video at 1080p, then you don't have to re-upload because those videos wil automatically be recoded to be played at a higher resolution.

Because even the HD 720p could be quite heavy for a regular PC, then the 1080p is aimed for those with big monitors and fast computers. If your PC can't handle 1080p video clips, you can still have the 720p alternative.

Twitter Fame Began to Fade


Twitter service popularity slowly began to fade. Reports from institutions comScore survey shows during October and the number of Twitter users has decreased.

In the comScore report noted the addition of new accounts mikroblogging service in October and down 7.9 percent from September, which is the second monthly decline during 2009. Thus quoted by the Boston Post, Sunday (15/11/2009).

Twitter is a social networking site the third largest in the United States has 19.2 million users in October. ComScore also reported that Twitter currently has a growth of less than 1 percent in September and declined in August. October numbers were better, although the decline in new account users could not inevitable.

This figure of course varies inversely with Facebook, which has 97.4 million users in the United States alone, growing more than doubled from the previous year. MySpace is ranked second among social networking users in the U.S. also fell 2.5 percent from the previous month.

Besides Twitter growth among users of the site continues to slow, but interesting more Twitter users come from mobile phone users and customers abroad.

Until now, no one spokesperson who immediately responded Twitter news is tilted.

Nicole Kidman acts odd

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjox8MZbwdRK-V9aWMKVzNpoTR2sqjgyD149Wu9kFs2T2goZ47-767O11M2is-xs5dJ0iHltVjYMsiN0lGHlf9Haie4u21GjzdQZ3ZshhXl5SMQ8KzKIc2StlAiQh_j0_SJrPCHaaMR8VhC/s1600/gallery_main-1113_nicole_kidman_cmas_07.jpg

The Huffington Post has a poll up about Nicole’s lips, and they have a series of close-ups of Kidman’s lips throughout the years to compare and contrast. Once you look at them, it does become obvious just how “plumped” she’s getting those puppies.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3YeUsBH9-ZkSBn8cGxtiLq9H7ouPXCrCpRYpaYbn7EHMRCpjQmG4MnKobyRlh9NBCllcVtW0sZH47poBX8J2P-n_9DWJkdypLFokD3sFr7WxeXu4IzVBBiCysb8KwlpxYX4UqjA8hGKgi/s1600/gallery_main-1113_nicole_kidman_cmas_03.jpg

Us Weekly piled on too, pulling Nicole’s old quotes about how she’s all-natural: “I am completely natural. I have nothing in my face or anything.” Us Weekly then quotes Dr. Martin Braun, a Canadian Botox doctor, who claims that Nicole is so “over-Botoxed…frozen and strange” that she looks like a bat. Seriously.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGnzU0kG0EBl4cYthNVtAI53tjNVSGM0ItlGcRlZKEOQ5J95th2Ki4HSiD6XkXGR5joCn2oBcM5CPlU5QR1a_pj5C8qtnutsYQd4oXS6fUAMXQqLWzHgqyy4NfaI8fHkylc9m6FkRDQWnQ/s1600/gallery_main-1113_nicole_kidman_cmas_00.jpg

Just when everybody gets on the bandwagon about how rough Nicole’s Botox-injections-surgery stuff looks, that’s just when I start feeling badly for her. I used to think she was totally crazy to mess with her beautiful face, and I hated her a little for how waxy and unmoving her face had become. Now that everyone’s picked up on it, I think people should give her a break. She fears the reaper, y’all. And having that frozen face is punishment enough.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwH9nuVsgguNTckd18G1LaCKrBAEqDJaDXL3o12CQIfRrkMg-kOQdesJKK4iXcCjn3C-evZ_fvHyHTwA8xAkSmyBazLnXW77W1mUF3A1tCUXrBou6TQnEQmIEXghyKEKaSdQQ7zjBgGBJF/s1600/gallery_main-1113_nicole_kidman_cmas_06.jpg

Everyone was talking about Nicole Kidman at the Country Music Awards in Nashville. “She looked freakish,” said one witness. “She just had her lips done, and now she looks like Meg Ryan.” The Aussie actress didn’t want to be interrogated on the red carpet and fled, leaving behind her perplexed husband, Keith Urban. “She just flipped out and took off running,” said our source. “Keith kept saying, ‘Where is she? Where is she?’ ” Kidman’s reps had no comment.

Ilmuwan Kembangkan Serat Optik Tipis


Para ilmuwan dari University of Adelaide menemukan bahwa cahaya dapat diubah menjadi serat optik yang lebih tipis dari yang diperkirakan sebelumnya.

Penemuan ini diharapkan bisa membuka gerbang dalam menemukan perangkat yang lebih efisien bagi prosessing data optik di bidang jaringan telekomunikasi dan komputasi optik.

Seperti dikutip dari TG Daily, Sabtu (14/11/2009), data sebelumnya menyebutkan batas ukuran diameter serat optik adalah ratusan nanometer. Jika ukurannya diperkecil dari ukuran ini, cahaya akan mulai pecah dan menyebar kemana-mana.

Namun Professor Tanya Monro dari Federation Fellow at the University of Adelaide menemukan bahwa cahaya ini bisa dipaksa diatas batas tersebut,  dengan dipengaruhi setidaknya dua faktor.

Hal ini bisa diketahui berkat terobosan baru dalam teori pemahaman sifat cahaya dalam skala nano dan penggunaan generasi baru serat optik skala nano yang dikembangkan oleh Institute for Photonics & Advanced Sensing (IPAS).

"Dengan bisa menggunakan serat optik sebagai sensor ketimbang menggunakannya sebagai pipa pemancar cahaya, kita bisa mengembangkan perangkat yang bisa mendeteksi berbagai hal. Contohnya keberadaan virus flu di bandara, membantu pembuahan invitro atau IVF (in vitro fertilization) dalam menentukan sel telur mana yang potensial dalam pembuahan dan lain sebagainya," kata Monro.

Mim Mikroblogging Yahoo Berbahasa Indonesia


Situs mikroblogging Yahoo, yang mirip dengan Twitter, kini telah hadir dilengkapi dengan bahasa Indonesia. Yahoo Meme Indonesia kini bisa diakses di sini.

Setelah meluncurkan layanan mikroblogging di Brasil, China, Filipina, India dan Turki, Spanyol, Inggris dan Portugis, Yahoo pun meluncurkan layanan yang sama di Indonesia.

Secara global, Yahoo menamai situs mikroblogging itu dengan sebutan 'meme'. Namun saat diserap ke dalam bahasa Indonesia, Meme Yahoo kini berubah menjadi Mim Yahoo.

Tampilan mikroblogging tersebut hampir mirip dengan Twitter. Dalam keterangan resminya, (Kamis (12/11/2009), Yahoo Mim disebut sebagai tempat untuk berbagi apa saja yang menarik.

"Kata 'Meme' di internet dikenal sebagai sesuatu yang menyebar dengan cepat dan menjadi perhatian semua orang," ujar pihak Yahoo.

Istilah ini, lanjut mereka, diciptakan oleh Richard Dawkins dan diterbitkan dalam bukunya yang berjudul "The Selfish Gene" pada 1976. Kata tersebut mengacu pada suatu kepingan kecil dari budaya atau perilaku yang kemudian menduplikasi menjadi banyak di kalangan orang-orang, serupa dengan yang terjadi pada gen dalam bidang biologi.

"Kami menggunakan istilah tersebut sebagai interpretasi bebas dari makna ilmiah aslinya, namun intinya tetap sama. Dengan kata lain, memperbanyak dan mendistribusikan kepingan-kepingan informasi. Kepingan-kepingan ini, atau 'meme', beredar dari satu orang ke orang lain dan bertahan hidup berkat nilai-nilai atau kondisi mereka sendiri. Mereka berkembang, mengalami mutasi dan sebagian mungkin menjadi sangat terkenal.

Michael Lohan tried to sell Lindsay recordings for $100,000

[gallery_main-1108_lindsay_lohan_shopping_05.jpg]

You have to watch the video and see and hear Michael to really understand why it’s absolutely necessary I punch him in the face. Normally I go with something a little more vague and gentle, like “I wanna kick him in the ear,” or “I’d like to step on his stomach.” But whenever I do that I’m always thinking how I’d really love punch that person in the face. And with Michael Lohan, I’ve just got to say it. He needs to be punched. A lot. I’ll give the requisite disclaimer that you shouldn’t. But oh my God would I understand it. Just saying.

If that all weren’t enough, Michael also says that God is taking Lindsay’s career away from her. You remember that part of the Bible, where God is talking to that douchebaggy guy and is all, “Thou shouldn’t snort things up thou’s nose. And if thou doest, I shall smite you with straight-to-DVD film roles.” (That was a little bit of old school God and a little bit of Shakespeare).

After the first tape was released, Lindsay tweeted that her father was a “loser.” On her Twitter site yesterday, in an apparent reference to her mom, LiLo tweeted, “She blames herself for staying w/him for so long, I’d beg her not to leave b/c he always threatened to kill her if she did.”

But Michael told The Post’s Rita Delfiner, “That’s a lie. I guess Lindsay is on more drugs than I thought to say something like that. Now I’m going to release more recordings that prove everything she is saying is nothing more than a bunch of lies.

“No wonder why God is taking her entire career away from her,” Michael continued. “Because she’s forsaken everything He’s given her and she’s done nothing but misuse all the gifts she’s given.”

Oh the sanctimony. It is perfectly God-like and Christian to escalate things in a childish war of retaliation with your own daughter. But if she says things about you that you don’t like (and which may well be true), then God’s taking her career away.

You just know this isn’t going to end well. “Well” would be Lindsay going into rehab. And Michael falling down an elevator shaft or something. But the way this drama is escalating, it feels inevitable that pretty soon we reach the climax. I think everyone can see it but the Lohans.
