Google+ Capai 40 Juta Pengguna dalam 1 bulan

Situs jejaring sosial atau social network terbaru Google+ tampaknya menunjukkan eksistensinya sebagai pesaing Facebook. Dalam kesempatan yang dirilis kamis kemarin co-founder sekaligus chief executive Google, Larry Page menyatakan bahwa sosial media miliknya saat ini sudah memiliki 40 juta pengguna. Wow.. sangat fantastis!

“Masyarakat saling berbondong-bondong untuk memiliki akun Google+, padahal kami baru saja memulai situs ini,” demikian tutur Larry Page.

Empat bulan kemarin kami merilis Google+ dan kini kami akan segera menambahkan beberapa bagian Google kedalamnya,”

Page juga menambahkan bahwa jutaan foto telah di ‘share’ melalui Google+ dan beberapa fitur sosial media tersebut masih dalam godokan timnya.

“Ibaratnya kami masih bayi jika dipandang dalam bentuk teknologi yang akan bisa kami sampaikan. Tapi tools yang akan kami benamkan ke dalam Google+ akan membuat situs jejaring kami berbeda dalam lima tahun kedepan,”

Google+ dibuka secara umum pada 20 September lalu dan pertumbuhannya memang dirasa sangat cepat jika dibandingkan dengan pertumbuhan awal Facebook. Google+ pun semakin berkembang dengan penambahan beberapa fitur baru. Diantaranya ‘Hangouts’ yang memungkinkan chat online dengan menggunakan kamera smartphone atau membroadcast video presentasi untuk bisa dilihat oleh pengguna tertentu dengan menggunakan ‘Hangouts On Air’.

Google berencana untuk bersaing dengan layanan musik dari Apple dan Amazon, tepatnya Google ingin membuka toko musiknya sendiri, dimana akan dibuka beberapa minggu lagi sebagai pelengkap dari Google Music Beta, sebagaimana menurut sebuah laporan.

iCloud Sudah Tersedia Di iTunes 10.5

Versi iTunes terbaru, 10.5 dengan fitur iCloud kini sudah hadir. Setelah berbulan-bulan dengan status beta, ini adalah rilis publik pertama yang berfungsi dengan layanan cloud milik Apple.

Ini adalah awalan penting demi peluncuran resmi iOS 5, dimana fitur iCloud ini akan hadir ke jutaan perangkat iOS di seluruh dunia. iCloud adalah fitur baru Apple yang memungkinkan koneksi nirkabel tersinkronisasi dengan baik antara perangkat Apple lainnya, mulai dari Mac, iPhone, iPad, dan iPod Touch (PC juga mendapatkannya).

Layanan iCloud membuat iTunes bisa melakukan unduh otomatis dari perangkat Apple manapun, riwayat pembelian dari iTunes, dan tak lupa, iTunes Match.

Dengan adanya iCloud ini, diharapkan ketergantungan pada aplikasi iTunes berkurang, karena nantinya iPhone dan iPad bisa diaktifkan secara nirkabel, dengan koleksi musik anda yang diunduh dari iTunes Match, data yang disimpan di iCloud, dan update software iOS anda secara OTA (over the air).

iTunes 10.5 tersedia di situs resmi atau bisa melalui aplikasi Apple Software Update

Microsoft Luncurkan Situs Web Browser Keamanan

Persaingan browser diantara para penguasa teknologi memang tidak pernah berhenti, sebut saja Mozilla dengan Firefox  yang kini kian melejit.

Namun, siapa sangka Microsoft yang memiliki produk yang bernama Internet Explorer (IE) punya cara baru untuk memperkenalkannya bagi pengguna alias netter. Sebuah situs yang beralamat di www.yourbrowsermatters.org menjadi daya tarik sendiri untuk menarik minat pengguna internet.

Seperti dikutip dari Cnet.com, dari sekian banyak perusahaan di dunia mengatakan bahwa 24,4% dari semua peramban (browser) sudah ketinggalan jaman dan tidak aman. Dari jumlah tersebut, 15,2% termasuk IE versi 6 dan 7, memang terbilang aneh dimana peramban milik Microsoft sendiri yang versi 7 juga termasuk dalam kategori tidak aman dan hanya 7,5% dari sisanya adalah versi Mozilla Firefox yang dinyatakan tidak aman.

Dari data statistik Microsoft, menyebutkan bahwa ini setara dengan 24,4% atau sekitar 340 juta PC di seluruh dunia dalam keadaan tidak aman untuk digunakan (banyaknya situs malware alias situs jahat).

Dalam situs buatan Microsoft tersebut yang mempunyai mitra dengan berbagai pihak ini terlihat begitu signifikan saat kita melakukan cek skor untuk tiga jenis peramban, yakni IE, Chrome dan Firefox, hanya IE yang mendapatkan skor 4 dari skala 4 untuk keamanan dalam berjelajah di internet.

Sedangkan bagi dua rivalnya Chrome hanya berada pada skor 2,5 dan Firefox berada paling akhir dengan skor 2 untuk sisi kemanan dalam berselancar.

How to Choose The Best TV Screen Size

When it comes to purchasing a television, some people automatically assume that bigger is better. In reality, there are several factors to consider when it comes to choosing the best screen size. Here are some tips for selecting the right one, from a 26 inch TV for the bedroom to much larger options for the living room or home theatre.

How big is the room?

In most cases, the television should be relative to the size of the room. Therefore, smaller TVs, such as a 22 inch LCD TV, should be used in in the bedroom or study, while larger versions can be placed in common areas such as the living room. From an aesthetics point of view, electronics should not overwhelm the room; instead, they should fit in seamlessly with the rest of the décor.

How far is the viewer from the TV?

Straining to see the television takes away from the viewing experience, so it should be big enough for the viewer to see with little to no effort; after all, watching TV shows and movies should be a leisurely activity. Therefore, it's important to pay attention to how close or far away the seating is from the potential location of the television. If the seating is near the designated spot for the TV then a small, 26 inch TV should work. If the viewers will be sitting far away from the monitor, however, a larger screen is necessary.

What is the purpose of the TV?

Another factor to take into consideration is the use of the television. Will it be used to play video games? If so, consider purchasing a small television like a 26 inch TV that is ideal for everyday use. Are you shopping for a TV that is going to be used in a home theatre? In that case, you might want to upgrade to a much larger model for maximum viewing pleasure. In addition to screen size, pay attention to the image quality of different monitors to get the most out of your television viewing experience. Those with a higher resolution will have a crisper picture and vibrant colours. How to Choose The Best TV Screen Size
