Snow Leopard VS Windows 7

Hadirnya system Snow Leopard bukan berarti untuk mengancam dominasi desktop Microsoft Windows 7. Berikut perbedaan utama Snow Leopard dan Windows 7 :
Hardware
Windows 7 akan dijalankan di hardware PC. Dengan adanya processor yang cepat dan RAM lebih besar maka akan mampu menambah performance system, namun Windows 7 hanya meminta spesifikasi minimum CPU 1GHz dan RAM 1GB. Di sisi lain, Snow Leopard hanya akan bekerja di system Mac berbasis Intel, dengan spesifikasi minimum memory 1GB dan free space harddisk 5GB. Hal itu berarti Snow Leopard tidak bekerja di semua system yang biasa digunakan user, namun oleh pengguna Mac OS X.
System baru dan lama
Snow Leopard bukanlah sebuah system operasi yang baru. Snow Leopard hanyalah sebuah update performance dengan beberapa fitur tambahan. Sementara dari Microsoft, pihaknya menambah Windows 7 dalam seri Service Pack dan gratis. Windows 7 merupakan system operasi baru, hanya memiliki user interface yang sama. Mungkin dapat dibedakan dengan penampilan Windows Vista dan Windows 7 Beta. Snow Leopard memiliki tambahan fitur, namun ada perkecualian untuk support Microsoft Exchange. Sedangkan untuk Windows 7 tampaknya support untuk Mac OS X seperti pada Windows Vista.
Interface
Baik Windows 7 ataupun Snow Leopard memiliki improvisasi dari masing-masing vendor. Namun, tidak diragukan bahwa Windows 7 memiliki interface yang cantik untuk ukuran Windows, namun Apple memiliki penampilan baru, terutama Windows Taskbar. Snow Leopard hadir dengan perubahan interface Welcome Screen, termasuk menu Services, interface Quick Time, Safari terbaru, yang membawa style iTunes untuk situs favorit dan browser history. Sementara di Windows 7 ada icon thumbnail Taskbar dan user akan mendapatkan preview pop-up style OS X yang memudahkan user untuk mendengarkan MP3 tanpa membuka Windows Media Player.
Performance
Windows 7 lebih cepat daripada Vista untuk proses booting, sleep and wake, shutdown, dan copy file. Sementara Snow Leopard membuat program yang memaksimalkan processor grafis untuk mendorong performance tenaga kuda, walaupun di Snow Leopard juga membutuhkan graphics kit OpenCL dan Grand Central Dispatch untuk mendukungnya, seperti jika di Windows 7 terdapat graphics kit DirectX 11.
Fitur touch
Windows 7 memiliki Windows Touch, yang support dengan input style iPhone multi-touch. Sedangkan Mac OS X Snow Leopard support trackpad via laptop.
Keunggulan dan Kelemahan lainnya
Apple mengalahkan Microsoft dalam beberapa hal. Snow Leopard lebih murah dengan harga £25, dan Windows 7 Home Premium sebesar £64.98 di Amazon. Instalasi Windows 7 sama seperti di Windows XP, yang membutuhkan instalasi yang bersih, dan upgrade 32 bit Vista ke Windows 7 64 bit. Sedangkan untuk Snow Leopard dapat diaplikasikan di upgrade versi apa saja.

Trend Micro Temukan Situs Download Snow Leopard Berbahaya

Trend Micro, perusahaan antivirus ternama telah mendeteksi beberapa situs yang menyediakan layanan download atau upgrade gratis system operasi terbaru Snow Leopard, yang dipaket bersama dengan malware system Mac. Situs tersebut ditemukan oleh peneliti dari Advanced Threat, Feike Hacquebord, yang sebelumnya telah meng-upgrade system operasi tersebut, namun file tersebut mengandung malware bernama Jahlav, yang sengaja didesain untuk menjebak pengguna Apple.
Sekali file berisi malware tersebut dieksekusi, maka akan membangkitkan kode dekripsi OSX_JAHLAV.K, yang juga berisi script untuk men-download script ‘jahat’ lainnya secara otomatis. Kode tersebut kemudian akan mengubah konfirgurasi DNS dan termasuk 2 alamat IP tambahan di server DNS.User yang mengeksekusi kode tersebut juga diarahkan ke situs phishing dan situs ‘jahat’ lainnya. Situs tersebut dilaporkan juga memiliki variant dan komponen FAKEAV atau antivirus palsu untuk menjebak user.

 

Trend Micro menambahkan, bahwa pihaknya telah memblokir situs yang mengandung malware tersebut dan menyarankan kepada pengguna Apple untuk hanya membeli upgrade Snow Leopard yang asli langsung dari Apple, ketika nanti resmi diluncurkan.

Ini Dia Kelemahan Pertama XP Mode di Windows 7

Sebuah pertentangan telah muncul antara vendor antivirus Sophos dan Microsoft berkaitan dengan patch dan sulitnya manajemen dari XP Mode di Windows 7. Teknologi Windows 7 XP mode tersebut digunakan untuk mempermudah jalannya aplikasi yang biasa ada di XP untuk dijalankan secara virtual di Windows 7. Namun, pertentangan muncul dari Richard Jacobs , CTO dari Sophos, yang mengungkapkan bahwa penawaran dari Microsoft tersebut nantinya memang akan kompatibel dengan banyak aplikasi, namun tidak sarat dengan keamanan.
Dengan memberikan kemudahan path migrasi dari XP ke Windows 7, dan melewati Vista, Microsoft telah membuat bencana keamanan yang besar, tambah Jacobs. XP Mode merupakan tool independent dari Windows, yang dapat digunakan untuk share folder lama dan device di komputer dengan instalasi Windows 7. Salah satu hal yang tidak di-share adalah processor dan memory, jadi sekaligus juga tidak men-share setting security, keamanan software, patch dan sebagainya, bahkan tidak ada ‘warisan’ setting keamanan dari system baru yang ditumpanginya.
Ketika user menggunakan XP Mode tersebut, user perlu untuk melakukan patch copy XP ke Windows 7. User perlu mengatur setting secara terpisah, termasuk konfigurasi dua firewall personal dan menginstal dua copy software anti malware. Jacobs menambahkan, masalahnya akan semakin buruk ketika user tidak tahu bagaimana mengatur XP Mode virtual tersebut di desktop dan karena tidak adanya tool yang mengatur proses tersebut dari Microsoft.
Sementara respon berbeda diluncurkan oleh penasehat keamanan Microsoft, Roger Halbheer, yang membeberkan bahwa XP Mode berlaku sebagai mesin temporer yang memperbolehkan konsumen untuk menikmati keuntungan keamanan yang lebih baik dari Windows 7, dan seklaigus menikmati kompatibilitas aplikasi yang ada di XP.

Mozilla Akui Kekalahan Firefox3.5 dari Microsoft Internet Exploler8?

Benarkah laporan Microsoft yang menyatakan bahwa Internet Explorer 8 telah mengalahkan keamanan, performance dan kemudahan penggunaan Mozilla Firefox?
Menurut ComputerWorld, Microsoft tampil lebih unggul dibandingkan Firefox, terutama berkaitan dengan modus porno IE8 yang bernama InPrivate Browsing. Mode tersebut bertujuan untuk menyembunyikan alamat situs ketika user online, dari keluarga dan teman. Sementara dari pihak Mozilla Foundation mengakui bahwa ekspansi location bar Firefox 3 untuk pencarian alamat URL, telah menyimpan semua history dan bookmark user, sehingga hal tersebut yang membuat user enggan upgrade dari Firefox 2 ke Firefox 3.
Mozilla menyebutkan bahwa alasan pertama kenapa user menolak update Firefox adalah karena kebingungan menggunakan location bar browser tersebut. “Ketika kami menambah kemampuan location bar untuk mencari semua history dan bookmark di Firefox 3, sebagian besar user kemudian mengkomplain bahwa mereka tidak ingin menampilkan bookmark mereka. Dalam beberapa kasus, user telah ‘menanam‘ bookmark dengan hierarki folder yang panjang. Untuk itu, mereka merasa malu jika apa yang mereka sembunyikan semua tertampil ke audience luas.“ ungkap Mozilla Foundation.
Mozilla memang menambahkan control user lebih banyak di Firefox 3.5, termasuk tipe informasi apa yang bisa ditampilkan di location bar atau mematikan fitur tersebut. Namun, Mozilla belakangan menyadari bahwa improvisasi tersebut tampaknya lebih terlambat dibandingkan IE, dan Mozilla tahu bahwa banyak user yang sudah mencoba Firefox 3 kemudian kembali ke Firefox 2.

Menambah/memasang meta tag (meta tags) keyword ke blogspot untuk optimalkan SEO

Buat teman-teman yang masih pemula, ada salah satu tips optimasi seo (on page) yang disarankan oleh Mr. Google. yaitu menambahkan meta tag keyword ke blogger (blogspot). Meta tag keyword (meta tags keyword) tersebut akan membantu robot google dalam menganalisa keyword yang terpasang di blog anda.
Sebenarnya saya sebagai pemula juga masih belum tahu apakah meta tag content tersebut berperan penting dalam optimasi blog, atau hanya sekedar pelengkap dari tips optimasi lainnya yang disarankan oleh google. saya juga belum melihat perubahan signifikan yang terjadi pada blog saya setelah saya memasang meta tag content tersebut
Buat teman-teman yang tertarik memasang meta tag content (meta tag keywords) ke blog silahkan ikuti prosedur berikut:
1. Login ke account blogger
2. Pilih dasboard -> Rancangan -> Edit Html

3. Di bagian atas template cari kode
<head>
Kemudian masukkan kode meta tag keywords berikut di bawahnya
<meta content='keyword1, keyword2, dst' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='Deskripsi blog anda' name='description'/>
Catatan:
kata keyword ganti dengan keyword blog anda yang akan dioptimasi.
jika saat menyimpan muncul pesan xml format error, maka perhatikan penulisan scriptnya harus ada spasi antara keyword dan name
Contoh:
<head>
<meta content='computer, windows, yahoo messenger, blog' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='Artikel tentang komputer' name='description'/>
4. Setelah selesai, Simpan Template
jika saat menyimpan muncul pesan xml format error, maka perhatikan penulisan scriptnya harus ada spasi antara keyword dan name
contoh yang salah: yahoo messenger, blog'name='keywords'/>
contoh yang benar: yahoo messenger, blog' name='keywords'/>
Semoga dengan terupdatenya meta tag keyword blog anda bisa bersaing dengan blog lain dalam memperebutkan posisi teratas SERP.

Social Bookmark, Page Rank (pagerank), Trafik dan SERP

Sebagai seorang blogger pemula saya selalu bertanya, kira-kira apa hubungan antara social bookmark, page rank (google pagerank), trafik dan SERP (Search engine result pages) atau hasil penelusuran search engine seperti yahoo, google , bing, dll.
Ada beberapa pertanyaan yang mengganjal di fikiran:
1. Apakah situs social bookmark berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan pagerank sedangkan link artikel yang anda buat di situs tersebut di setting sebagai link no follow (link jenis ini tidak dinilai oleh robot google)
2. Apakah trafik berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan google pagerank
3. Apakah SERP berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan pagerank
4. Apakah pagerank berpengaruh terhadap SERP
5. Apakah trafik berpengaruh terhadap SERP
jadi saya coba menjawab pertayaan diatas, jawaban saya hanyalah jawaban dari seorang yang awam tentang teknik SEO. bisa benar dan bisa juga salah. jawaban ini hanyalah berdasarkan pengalaman dan dari hasil googling (Mr. Google). berdasarkan formula dasar tentang pagerank, bisa saja google merubah formulanya.
catatan:
Postingan ini saya buat sebagai respon untuk melangkapi jawaban atas pertanyaan beberapa teman-teman yang menanyakan lewat email tentang bagaimana cara meningkatkan page rank. (terus terang saya bingung menjawabnya, tetapi saya coba menjawab sesuai kemampuan saya)
Pertama sebelum membahas kelima pertanyaan di atas kita review dulu tentang Google Pagerank:
Ada beberapa variable yang digunakan oleh google dalam menilai pagerank
a. BackLink (link yang menuju ke blog anda, link satu arah dari blog lain ke blog anda lebih baik dari pada link dua arah).
Google menilai backlink dari aspek kualitas (relevansi dan besaran pagerank), yaitu link dari blog yang mempunyai relevansi dengan blog anda, misalkan blog anda topiknya komputer usahakan cari backlink atau tukaran link dengan blog yang bertema komputer) dan usahakan pageranknya lebih tinggi. karena goggle memberi bobot 1 bakclink dari blog dengan PR4 sebanding dengan 10 backlink dari PR3 (asumsi PR blog anda 3), ini hanya dugaan (bobotnya adalah rahasia google). demikian juga bobot 1 bakclink dari blog dengan PR3 sebanding dengan 10 backlink dari PR2 (asumsi PR blog anda 2), dan seterusnya. Ini hanya gambaran pentingnya anda mencari backlink dari blog dengan PR tinggi.
Google menilai backlink dari aspek kuantitas (banyaknya) backlink, semakin banyak akan semakin bagus.
Semakin tinggi kualitas backlink dan semakin banyak jumlahnya maka besar peluang meningkatkan pagerank. Google menganggap blog yang mempunyai banyak link atau tautan dianggap lebih penting daripada yang kurang tautannya.
Tetapi anda harus berhati-hati agar anda tidak mmendapat link dari blog yang tidak diurus. Semakin banyak link menuju kesana daripada link dari blog yang bagus maka berpeluang menurunkan pagerank blog anda. Google idak senang denga blog yang tidak diurus (diupdate).
2. Banyaknya link yang terdapat dalam blog anda, frekuensi klik link dan sebaran link di dalam blog. Anda bisa memasang banyak anchor text (link) di dalam postingan yang saling melink dengan postingan lain, agar secara alami terbangun link antar halaman dan memungkinkan terjadi banyak klik pada anchor teks dalam blog anda
Semakin banyak jumlah klik di dalam blog anda maka akan semakin besar peluang meningkatkan pagerank.
Sekarng kita kembali pada kelima pertanyaan di atas:
1. Apakah situs social bookmark berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan pagerank sedangkan link artikel yang anda buat di situs tersebut di setting sebagai link no follow (link jenis ini tidak dinilai oleh robot google)
Jawab:
Secara langsung tidak berpengaruh, tetapi berpeluang mendatangkan trafik ke blog anda, dan klik yang terjadi di blog anda yang bersumber dari situs social bookmark akan dinilai oleh google
2. Apakah trafik berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan google pagerank
trafik secara tidak langsung meningkatkan jumlah dan frekuensi klik di dalam blog anda semakin banyak klik yang terjadi akan semakin baik, tetapi klik saja tidak cukup harus diimbangi dengan backlink (perhatikan aspek kualitas dan kuantitas).
3. Apakah SERP berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan pagerank
Semakin banyak link blog anda yang muncul di halaman pertama penelusuran search engine (google) maka semakin besar beluang mendatangkan trafik ke blog anda, berarti semakin besar peluang meningkatkan klik di blog anda. SERP secara tidak langsung membantu meningkatkan pagerank.
4. Apakah pagerank berpengaruh terhadap SERP
5. Apakah trafik berpengaruh terhadap SERP
Keduanya berpengaruh tetapi secara pastinya adalah rahasia google.
dari pengalaman, ada blog yang PR rendah tetapi SERP lebih baik dari blog yang PR-nya lebih tinggi. Mungkin SERP tergantung dari teknik SEO yang diterapkan pada masing-masing blog, apakah teknik SEO melanggar aturan google atau sesuai dengan aturan google.
Tentang kesimpulan dari kelima pertannyaan di atas:
Social bookmark, pagerank, trafik dan SERP mempunyai kaitan yang erat. Social bookmark secara tidak langsung merupakan salah satu cara utuk meningkatkan trafik, pagerank dan SERP.
Selain social bookmark anda bisa juga memanfaatkan social networking (yuwie,friendster, facebook) dan web direktori untuk meningkatkan trafik.
Beberapa situs social bookmark yang bisa anda gunakan untuk promosi blog dan submit artikel adalah:
1. social bookmark lokal (infogue,lintas berita, dll)
2. social bookmark mancanegara

Publish postingan terjadwal agar blog lebih seo friendly

Mungkin ada diantara teman-teman yang jarang memanfaatkan fitur publish blogger (terbitkan entri) untuk menerbitkan postingan secara terjadwal. Memanfaatkan postingan terjadwal tidaklah melanggar TOS dari google, karena google (blogger) telah menyediakan fasilitas tersebut secara gratis, jadi tidak ada salahnya jika digunakan sekali atau dua kali.
Keuntungan yang akan anda peroleh jika memanfaatkan publish postingan secara terjadwal, adalah:
1. Anda bisa mengatur tanggal postingan yang dibuat sehingga blogger akan mempublish posting dengan selisih waktu tunda kemudian akan terpublish secara otomatis sesuai tanggal dan jam yang tercantum pada setting editor blogger.
2. Membuat blog anda seakan-akan selalu terupdate, padahal hanya melakukan postingan sekali.
3. Search engine google semakin bersahabat dengan blog anda karena menganggap blog anda sering terupdate. Anda perlu ingat bahwa google senang dengan blog yang sering di update.
Catatan:
Tips di atas bisa benar dan bisa juga tidak, saya belum yakin berapa  nilai prosentasenya dalam optimasi SEO, saya memposting saja mungkin ada teman-teman yang ingin mengikuti. Sebagai tambahan saya sudah berulang kali melakukan tips di atas dan google tidak mempermasalahkan.....
Caranya mirip dengan membuat postingan biasa, cukup mengatur pada bagian tanggal dan jam entri
Sebagai contoh:
postingan ini saya buat tanggal 7 agustus 2008 jam 1.00

Untuk mengatur jadwal postingan bisa diatur, pada gambar di atas klik " Opsi Entri"
Pada bagian tanggal dan jam entri masukkan tanggal dan jam yang diinginkan agar postingan dipublish secara otomatis oleh blogger pada tanggal tersebut.
Dalam contoh ini saya mengatur tanggal publish 8 Agustus 2009, anda bisa mengatur tanggal yang lain.

Selamat mencoba....

Menghasilkan dollar dari blog dengan jualan link di LinkShowOff

LinkShowOff.com adalah merupakan situs program text link ads yang membantu publisher (pemilik blog) untuk menjual space text link di blognya . Jadi Anda akan dibayar untuk memajang iklan berupa teks link dari advertiser di blog dan membiarkannya terpajang selama masa kontrak iklannya selanjutnya anda akan menerima pembayaran setiap bulan. LinkShowOff sudah menyediakan widget khusus seperti yang bisa dilihat di bawah ini. Di widget itulah link-link iklan advertiser akan dipajang.

Bagaimana dengan bayarannya? di Link Show Off Anda dapat menentukan sendiri berapa harga link-nya. LinkShowOff hanya menentukan harga paling rendah yakni sebesar $1/bulan.


Pembayaran dilakukan melalui PayPal dengan minimum payout $10. Yang membuat lebih menarik lagi, pengelola LinkShowOff hanya meminta biaya sebesar $3/payout. Jadi, setiap kali menerima pembayaran Anda akan dikenai potongan sebesar $3. Misalnya Anda memperoleh $20, maka jika anda mengajukan payout saat itu jumlah bersih yang diterima adalah $17. Kalaupun menghasilkan $100, potongannya tetap $3 juga.

Anda bebas menentukan banyaknya link dalam satu widget. Paling sedikit 5 link, dan paling banyak 20 link. Link advertiser akan terpasang selamanya di widget tersebut sampai ada link baru lagi yang masuk. Jadi, link paling baru akan secara otomatis berada di urutan paling atas di widget. Tapi meskipun terpasang selamanya, kita tidak perlu khawatir akan kena penalti dari Google, karena semua iklan link di LinkShowOff ber-tag nofollow.

LinkShowOff juga menyediakan program referal.Bila Anda mempromosikan LinkShowOff pada member baru, maka Anda akan memperoleh bayaran sebesar $3 setiap referal Anda memperoleh $3 juga. Untuk bergabung di LinkShowOff anda bisa klik di sini

Exchange contact details to allow teammates to speak properly outside of planned conferences if the task is long-standing.



Recognize the team’s goal. For example, perhaps a lecturer asked you to achieve a task, or your organization asked you to analyze particular information and submit it. Communicate and record the team’s objective to ensure you all choose the chief goal of the team’s work.



Split the tasks into parts and allot each person a particular task to assail enduring tasks. Often this will go easier if people volunteer for tasks they akin to perform.



Pay attention to each other and give confidence to each other. Ensure each person in the group is heard and give support while others give a good suggestion or carry out a work successfully.

Speak with your teammates if there is any problem and solve it as soon as possible. While problem arises we must be comfortable to discuss and solve problems. Try to forgive while people commit mistakes.



While strain takes place and tempers flame, take a small break. Refresh yourself, make an apology, and take another attempt at it.

7 Ways on How to Improve Your Creativity

1. Carry around a notebook with you everywhere you go. Whenever you get an idea for an article, a website, a painting—anything, write it or sketch it into the notebook. You might feel a little silly doing this, especially at first, but there is nothing quite as helpful as that notebook when you find yourself creatively strapped. All you have to do is look through the notebook for ideas that you haven’t yet had time to work on. Sometimes just looking at past ideas can help you form an idea for your present problem.

2. Try coming at your problem from a new angle. If, for example, you have been commissioned to create some art for a webpage about sports, try looking at sports from a different angle—instead of the traditional examples, think of other things that could be considered sports. Sometimes, forcing yourself to approach a problem from the exact opposite angle can be enough to spark your creativity.

3. Summarize your problem with a single and basic sentence. Let’s say you have been hired to write a radio commercial for a local car dealership. Start with something basic like “car dealerships sell cars.” For example, car dealerships sell cars. From there, ask yourself the who, what, when, where and why of your sentence. Before you know it, you’ll have pages of ideas for your commercial.

4. If all else fails, get up and walk away from your project for a while—even if you are staring in the face of an impending deadline. Go for a walk, get away from the computer—just go. Often when you feel stressed, your creativity gives way to practicality and that isn’t good for someone who needs to find a fresh idea. What’s more, when your brain relaxes, you’ll probably find yourself flooded with ideas for your project!

5. Creativity is reduced when our se ness are dulled. Sleep well, eat we ll and meditate often. I know ma nay of us don’t have the lid borty of time available to mediate at ho me, so apply a bit of crew activity. You have a problem with a availability of time; use your time wh le traveling to do so. Just a go do 10 – 15 minutes of me dictation can put you in the r ght path towards becoming creative.

During thi s exercise, learn to breathe softly and try to re lax your body completely. Once at thi s state, try to imagine being in a fo rest or any place that you like. Try visualizing the surrounding in de tails. Try to listen to your s rounding and keep strolling around that place and keep discovering new things.

6. Do you have a hobby? If no, then start now by asking yourself what you enjoy. Do you enjoy music? Do you enjoy collecting items? Do you enjoy entertaining people? Do you enjoy writing? Do you enjoy drawing/painting? Do you enjoy crafts? Having a hobby helps you in many ways and directly helps you in improving your creativity. It forces you to think out of the box during the period when you are conducting you’re hobby. My only hobby is magic. I enjoy entertaining people and hence learn new m ves & techniques all the time and spend some of my time in practicing and mastering them. You might not l ke magic, but that’s ok. Try finding something that you like and de vote some time to it. You will see a remarkable improvement in your creative ability.

7. Do something which does not interest you .If you hate reading, then start reading a book. If you don’t like a particular type of music, then start listening to such music. The point here is to expose your brain to as many new things and concepts as possible. You never know what new learning you might use to solve a problem later in life.
