Android Tweetdeck and Meebo App

This holiday season you finally received the Android device you have been waiting for. You might be wondering which apps to download. Considering the wide variety that the Android Market offers, deciding which apps to download first could be a daunting task. Many Android device owners will use them for productivity. It's safe to say, however, that many others will use them for social purposes as well. With that said, here are a couple of social apps that you should look into getting for your Android device right off the bat.Tweetdeck


If you cannot be separated from your Twitter account for long, Tweetdeck is the perfect app for you.  For starters, Tweetdeck is not limited to Twitter. It allows you to integrate your Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz, and Foursquare accounts into a single, streamlined app for your social networking needs. Rather than having to sign into each of your accounts separately, Tweetdeck allows you to sign into and sync all of your accounts at once with a single password. So that you do not confuse accounts across the various sites, the app displays icons to help you differentiate between friends and items from Facebook, Twitter, and the other two supported sites.
Tweetdeck offers plenty of customization in terms of its sound and look as well. You can customize the frequency in which you receive updates, and choose between different sounds, vibrations, and lighting for each of your displayed columns. If you are looking for a specific friend or contact to send a message to, the app displays them all in an integrated, concise list for quick access. You also get live Geo data where you can track the locations of your friends' tweets, their check-ins, and more. Tweetdeck's integration of different sites, its customization tools, and ease of use make it a great first app to download in the social networking arena.
Meebo
Social networks like Facebook and Twitter have taken the online world by storm, but they are not the only methods of communication that exist. Instant messaging is still going strong, and if you are like many people, you probably have various IM accounts spread across different messaging providers. Rather than being prehistoric and using a separate client per account, why not integrate them all into one easy to use platform? It makes sense to do so, and with the Meebo app for Android, you can do it easily.
Meebo is a free download that lets you access your various instant messaging accounts with a simple log-in. Adding accounts to Meebo is simple, and once finished, it will integrate them all into a streamlined interface that helps you view and chat will all of your online contacts. You won't have to worry about missing any important messages, because Meebo tracks history and stays connected no matter where you are. For more sensible organization, the app also keeps your recent conversations at the top of your buddy list in case you need to chat with that recent contact in a hurry. Meebo's easy setup and integration make it another solid choice that you should consider as a social app download for your Android device.

Android Productivity App

Productivity is just another in the long list of reasons why someone may purchase an Android smartphone or tablet. Here are two productivity apps that you should look into downloading to get your Android device off to a productive start.Documents To Go
Just because you do not have your laptop with you does not mean that your productivity must be put on hold. Your Android device can serve as a productivity resource as well. All you need are the right apps, and Documents To Go is one of them. If you regularly work with Microsoft Office, Documents To Go is a must-have download for your Android device.
Documents To Go comes in two versions. Its free version allows you to view Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files. This should work fine for most casual users. If you want the app's full features, however, you will have to upgrade to the full version for $14.99. The full version allows you to view Microsoft Office attachments, and it also includes a PDF viewer. Besides viewing, the full version also gives you the option to edit your Microsoft Office files. This is great if you are away from home and need to do some last minute editing before an important meeting or presentation.
Besides Microsoft Office, Documents To Go also supports Google Docs and desktop synchronization via USB. Documents To Go comes in a variety of languages for international travelers and users, such as English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, and more. The app also offers many advanced features for you to edit word documents, spreadsheets, and presentations as if you were on your home computer. With all of the familiar productivity features that it has to offer in a mobile fashion, Documents To Go should be a definite download for Android users who need to stay productive while away from their home or office.
Evernote


Busy people usually have so much going on in their lives that staying on top of everything is a chore in itself. That's where notes come in handy as reminders. If you have an Android device, why bother with old fashioned notes on paper? You can house plenty of notes on your device using the Evernote app.
Evernote is basically a great way to store and organize notes on electronically. The app lets you create notes in different ways. You can type a note, record an audio note, or take a picture to save as a reminder. Your notes can be placed into different notebooks for optimal organization. All of your notes can be viewed in a detailed format or as a thumbnail while browsing. The app even gives you the ability to search for specific notes to help you save time. Any notes you create and save will synchronize with other versions of Evernote that you use as well. For your most important notes, you can create desktop shortcuts for quicker access. 
The basic version of Evernote is free. The premium version costs $5 per month, and it gives you additional features such as SSL encryption, PDF searching, support for extra file types, and more. Regardless of which version you use, Evernote should be one of the first additions to your repertoire of Android apps.

sejarah mouse

”Mouse”, tak Sekadar Pelengkap Komputer bagi para pengguna komputer tentu sudah mengenal benda bernama mouse. Perangkat keras yang satu ini memang wajib dimiliki. Walaupun sebuah komputer masih bisa dijalankan tanpanya, bisa dibayangkan betapa repotnya para pengguna komputer untuk mengoperasikan sistem secara cepat dan normal.

Sejak pertama kali diperkenalkan oleh Stanford Research Institute pada 1963, kemudahan mengoperasikan komputer makin nyata dengan hadirnya mouse.


Evolusi mouse pun berkembang seiring kemajuan zaman. Kini, mouse tak hanya "klik" kiri dan "klik" kanan. Berbagai fitur tambahan disematkan demi kepentingan pasar. Berbagai vendor terkemuka pun berlomba mengembangkan teknologinya demi menggaet konsumen. AirO2bic”Mouse” untuk penderita parkinsonMouse ini terbuat dari plastik, dengan dimensi yang cenderung vertikal, bukan horizontal seperti kebanyakan mouse pada umumnya. Rancang bentuknya memang didesain khusus untuk penderita Parkinson dan artisis.Pengguna cukup menggerakkan tangannya seperti ketika ia berjabat tangan dengan orang lain. Dua klik dan scroll wheel pun tersedia. Cuma, letaknya bukan di samping, melainkan di bagian bawah. Cara menggerakkan kursornya sama seperti mouse konvensional. Desainer AirO2bic telah menggelar riset selama dua bulan. Hasilnya, mouse ini membantu penderita Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), penyakit penyempitan saraf medianus di sekitar pergelangan tangan yang muncul karena aktivitas berlebih. Dengan rajin-rajin menggunakan mouse ini, gejala umum penyakit yang muncul karena aktivitas berlebih itu bakal berkurang. Mouse AirO2bic ini dijual seharga 99,99 dolar AS.Zero tension ”Mouse” antipegal bagi para pemain game serta mereka yang doyan berselancar di dunia maya yang terkadang lupa waktu, mouse ini sangat nyaman digunakan. Mouse hasil rancangan Dr. P. Michael Leahy yang diberi nama zero tension mouse ini mampu menghilangkan pegal yang sering dirasakan para pengguna yang biasa memakai mouse biasa selama berjam-jam. Klik kanan dan kiri mouse ini terletak di genggaman tangan, sementara scroll wheel-nya di ujung atas. Dimensinya cenderung panjang. Mouse yang disinyalir paling nyaman ini dijual seharga 79,95 dolar AS. Wow Pen Deluxe”Mouse” pena serbagunaSesuai namanya mouse ini bentuknya memang mirip ballpoint (pena). Mouse hasil rancangan INNO ini mempunyai kegunaan cukup beragam. Dengan koneksi wireless, selain berfungsi sebagai pen mouse yang bekerja pada RF 2,4GHZ, mouse ini dapat digunakan dalam radius 55 meter dari komputer. Dengan teknologi bluetooth, tentunya. Kelebihan lainnya, mouse ini memiliki memory space sebesar 256 - 512 MB. Cukup besar untuk dimanfaatkan sebagai penyimpan data layaknya sebuah flash disc. Mouse yang simple ini diperkirakan berharga Rp 660 ribu. Sysgration”Mouse” plus phone VoIPMouse ini didesain oleh perusahaan penyedia jasa digital telephone atau VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). Fungsi utamanya tetap sama seperti mouse biasa. Tapi, begitu bagian atasnya dibuka, langsung berubah menjadi ponsel model flip. Selain keypad, mouse ponsel ini juga dilengkapi layar LCD monochrome. Memungkinkan untuk mengirim dan menerima SMS. Jadi, para pengguna komputer tidak harus beranjak jika menerima telefon secara tiba-tiba. Pointer Wireless ”Mouse” bermanfaat untuk presentasi Inilah wireless mouse yang dapat digunakan layaknya mouse biasa, namun tanpa alas.


Pengguna dapat menggerakkan pointer-nya meski mouse tidak diletakkan pada mouse pad. Maklum, scroll ball diletakkan di bagian atas, dan bolanya dapat bergerak ke segala arah. Beda dengan mouse biasa, yang scroll ball-nya terletak di bagian bawah dan hanya dapat bergerak maju mundur. Dengan sumber tenaga dua buah baterai AA, mouse ini dapat di-charge lewat kabel USB yang terkoneksi ke komputer. Dilengkapi laser pointer, amat cocok buat mereka yang sering menggelar presentasi. Harganya 150.000 yen.Mouse MX518Fungsi maksimal untuk para ”gamer”. Para pencinta game bakal lebih dimanjakan lagi dengan adanya mouse produk Logitech ini. Mouse ini memang unik, bentuknya seperti mouse kebanyakan namun penyok di sana-sini. Panel kontrolnya tersambung penuh ke bodi dengan roda penggulung (scroll) dapat ditekan ke bawah. Di atas dan bawah roda penggulung terdapat tombol untuk mengatur resolusi. Pengguna bisa menyetel resolusi menjadi 400, 800, atau 1.600 dpi (dot per inch), dengan prosesor image 5,8 megapixel (MP). Di atas tombol pengatur resolusi dpi terdapat tombol untuk berpindah dari satu jendela (window) aplikasi ke jendela lain yang sedang aktif di layar komputer. Fungsi tombol ini sama kombinasi tombol keyboard Alt+Tab pada sistem operasi Windows. Di sisi kiri bodi mouse, terdapat dua tombol untuk forward (maju) dan backward (mundur). Tombol ini dapat digunakan untuk forward dan backward situs internet yang sedang diselancari. Atau, bisa pula untuk menjalankan presentasi PowerPoint dan memilih lagu MP3 pada aplikasi WinAmp, MugMouse berfungsi jadi cangkir kopi. Berkomputer sambil minum kopi atau susu panas memang mengasyikkan. Inilah mungkin yang mengilhami desainer Louise Wictoria Klinker untuk menciptakan mouse komputer yang bisa dipakai untuk wadah minum kopi. Atau sebaliknya, bisa menjadi mug kopi yang dapat dipakai sebagai mouse komputer. Namun, saat MugMouse ini diisi dengan minuman, mugmouse harus digeser dengan lebih lambat dan hati-hati ketika dipakai bak mouse konvensional.Alhasil, pengguna pun harus lebih menyesuaikan diri dan sabar di kala memakai mouse yang di atasnya berisikan minuman tersebut.

Dentists Blame Financial Stresses For Increased Occurrence Of Bruxism


teeth grindingHave you ever thought that such thing as financial crises can cause you not only being no able to cover up your dental care expenses, but cause other physical problems for your pearly whites? In what way, you may ask. Dental specialists from the Irish Dental Association (IDA) can tell you how: when you are stressed out by your financial problems, when you see that you can buy less and less goods for the money you are receiving, you tend to literally grinding your teeth and wearing your teeth up.
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is quite a common dental problem nowadays which affects dental health of quite a lot of people. The IDA specialists say that in their country, which suffered a very serious impact by the international financial crisis for the last couple of years, every every one of five persons in Ireland grinds the teeth at night. If you wake up in the morning with a terrible headache, jaw aches, mouth or ear pains, you can have this problem as well. Usually, bruxism is linked to various health conditions and factors like severe depression, anxiety, prolonged stresses, alcohol, nicotine and caffeine abuse, and so on. More factors contributing to teeth grinding embrace recreational drug use, including ecstasy and cocaine.
“Stress and drug use are a dangerous combination at the best of times, but people often do not realise the effect this can have on their dental health. If people are suffering from any of the symptoms outlined above, then not only should they see their medical doctor, but they should also visit their dentist for a check-up as soon as possible as bruxism can cause long-term damage,” says Doctor Dermot Canavan of the IDA. Dr. Canavan stresses out on the problem and asks all modern people to pay more attention to unconscious behaviors of theirs and their partners. Fortunately, such problem as teeth grinding can be prevented and solved by using several techniques like special mouth guards or splints.

Jamur Tahi Sapi (Jamur Tlethong)


Tuesday, March 2, 2010

jamur dari kotoran kerbau



Apa itu Jamur taik kerbau? Jamur ini merupakan satu jenis jamur yang bisa bikin orang dalam kondisi trence, biasa di sebut juga sebagai jamur penghayal (hallucinogenic mushroom)

Jamur ini berasal dari trah Jamur tryptamine, yang berarti mengandung zat psylocibine atau zat sejenis alkaloid (nitrogen yang ditemukan di alam).



Psilocybe/psylocibine: berasal dari bahasa yunani psilos dan kube yang berarti kepala gundul. Dimana dapat terlihat dari tampilan eksotis berbagai jamur ini yang berpayung gundul di sertai motif polka dot di sekelilingnya.

Psilocybin dan temannya psilocin keduanya mengandung alkaloid. Patut digaris bawahi, pada sekitar pertengahan 70-an di Amerika dengan Green Peace-nya yang mengumandangkan era kebebasan berekspresi ala psychedelic, telah menyepakati penggunaan akhiran –ine pada berbagai jenis psikotropika yang mengandung zat alkaloid, contohnya morphine, heroine, caffeine, amphetamine. Psilocybin dan psilocin pun ‘seharusnya’ juga di beri nama psilocibine dan psilocine, namun sampai saat ini belum lo, entah kenapa.

Jamur Penghayal (hallucinogenic mushroom) sendiri di tengarai sudah eksis dari jaman baheula, dan digunakan seiring perkembangan kebudayaan dan spiritual manusia.

Dalam sebuah penelitian misalnya, di sebuah goa tepatnya di sahara, gambar jamur penghayal terpampang di dinding goa tersebut. Sedangkan penelitian lain menemukan bahwa para dukun di Siberia diketahui menggunakan salah satu jenis dari jamur penghayal sebagai media untuk membuka pintu masuk ke dunia maya yang menghubungkan mereka dengan sang pencipta (You know what, it’s Grazy you know!).

Singkat definisi mengenai Cow shit mushroom as known as Jamur taik kerbau merupakan sejenis jamur yang tumbuh dan hidup diatas permukaan kotoran hewan pemamah biak macam sapi, kerbau, dan lain sejenisnya (gatau kalo kambing, belom pernah denger jamur taik kambing). Seperti juga jenis jamur Psilocybin lainnya yang berkepala gundul dan bermotif polkadot, jamur taik kerbau ini warnanya putih dan berbau tajam, sama persis bau nya dengan tempat tinggal mereka. Taik kebo.

Dan perlu diketahui “actually the death ‘shrooms generally don’t grow in cow pies. It’s pretty easy to tell what’s what. Just make sure they all bruise blue”, akan tetapi jangan gegabah dengan langsung memakannya mentah-mentah, karena di tengarai ada beberapa jamur dan parasit lain yang ikut tumbuh di jamur taik kerbau ini, dan di duga mengandung racun yang diindikasikan dapat mematikan. Cuci dan masak lah terlebih dahulu, baru di campur ke bahan makanan yang telah di sediakan sebagai penambah nafsu makan, met berwisata kuliner sob. Enjoy it!

Jamurnya diambil dari kotoran kerbau yang udah kering banget. Tumbuhnya ga mesti, emang jarang dan susah banget ketemunya kalo ga musim kemarau panjang, itupun juga kalau jamurnya ada. Jamur ini nggak beracun (selama ini siih.., ga tau besok2 hi..hi), hanya bikin kita menjadi ‘sesuatu’… mungkin istilahnya aja kita pake ‘bikin teler’ tapi benernya nggak juga, pokoknya ‘sesuatu’ yang aneh dan ya
mantaf...

Dari pengalaman teman yang telah mencicipi, jamur ini waktuitu disajikan dengan telur
dimasak seperti omlet
lalu dimakan seperti biasa. tak lama setelah makan, efek nya lebih dari ganja.katanya efek 10 kali lipat dari ganja liat muka orang ga tau kenapa mau ketawa aja

INSIDE HARWARE

Hardware of a modern Personal Computer.
1. Monitor
2. Motherboard
3. CPU
4. RAM Memory
5. Expansion card
6. Power supply
7. Optical disc drive
8. Hard Disk
9. Keyboard
10. Mouse
Inside a custom computer.

Though a PC comes in many different forms, a typical personal computer consists of a case or chassis in a tower shape (desktop) and the following parts:


The motherboard is the main component inside the case. It is a large rectangular board with integrated circuitry that connects the rest of the parts of the computer including the CPU, the RAM, the disk drives (CD, DVD, hard disk, or any others) as well as any peripherals connected via the ports or the expansion slots. Computer Hardware course is very important for the future because they are now essential in business.

Components directly attached to the motherboard include:

* The central processing unit (CPU) performs most of the calculations which enable a computer to function, and is sometimes referred to as the "brain" of the computer. It is usually cooled by a heat sink and fan.
* The chip set mediates communication between the CPU and the other components of the system, including main memory.
* RAM Stores all running processes (applications) and the current running OS. RAM Stands for Random Access Memory
* The BIOS includes boot firmware and power management. The Basic Input Output System tasks are handled by operating system drivers.
* Internal Buses connect the CPU to various internal components and to expansion cards for graphics and sound.
o Current
+ The north bridge memory controller, for RAM and PCI Express
# PCI Express, for expansion cards such as graphics and physics processors, and high-end network interfaces
+ PCI, for other expansion cards
+ SATA, for disk drives
o Obsolete
+ ATA (superseded by SATA)
+ AGP (superseded by PCI Express)
+ VLB VESA Local Bus (superseded by AGP)
+ ISA (expansion card slot format obsolete in PCs, but still used in industrial computers)
* External Bus Controllers support ports for external peripherals. These ports may be controlled directly by the south bridge I/O controller or based on expansion cards attached to the motherboard through the PCI bus.
Power supply
Main article: Power supply unit (computer)

A power supply unit (PSU) is the component that supplies power to the other components in a computer. More specifically, a power supply unit is typically designed to convert general-purpose alternating current (AC) electric power from the mains (100-127V in North America, parts of South America, Japan, and Taiwan; 220-240V in most of the rest of the world) to usable low-voltage DC power for the internal components of the computer. Some power supplies have a switch to change between 230 V and 115 V. Other models have automatic sensors that switch input voltage automatically, or are able to accept any voltage between those limits.
[edit] Video display controller
Main article: Graphics card

Produces the output for the computer monitor. This will either be built into the motherboard or attached in its own separate slot (PCI, PCI-E, PCI-E 2.0, or AGP), in the form of a graphics card..
