LG: Windows 7 Phone Disappointing

As one of the main supporters of the Windows OS Phone 7 (WP7), nothing wrong with LG Electronics looked forward to when the mobile phone market WP 7. Unfortunately, initial sales WP7 on the market in view of the LG is still disappointing. 

Recognition was presented James Choi, Marketing Director of Strategy and Planning Team at LG. Choi said that LG initially felt there was a very large market segment for WP 7 considering the ease of this OS than for example Google's Android. 

"LG collaborated closely with Microsoft since the beginning. We think WP7 is perfect for a large segment out there. Some people believe that some of the OS, especially Google is very complex. Medium WP 7 is very intuitive and easy to use," said Choi. 

But according to Choi, ease of use that's precisely be one problem. For it is easy to use, some people cite WP 7 bit boring. The impact, mobile phone sales WP 7 did not fit expectations. 

Still, Choi was sure WP 7 is still potential in the market despite the initial performance did not meet expectations LG. They still will adopt this OS for the diversification of the OS in the smartphone products. 

"A lot of skepticism at this time, but once the handset WP7 appear in the lower middle segment, market share will grow. We have no exclusive WP 7 is only in the upper level because the hardware requirements, and it inhibits growth," added Choi, quoted from AppleInsider, Monday (01/17/2011)

Apple patented Solar Gadgets

Apple has patented technology that allows a gadget or other electronic devices have a source of solar energy. Speculation arose that says this is an indication that Apple will make iPhone and iPad environmentally friendly with solar energy.

A key aspect of the patent which has been approved by the Patent and Trademark Office in the United States (U.S.) This is the power control circuit located between the solar cell and battery device.

Reported detikINET of Techradar, Friday (01/14/2010), this circuit monitors the power level produced solar cells, where the energy is obtained can vary depending on weather conditions.

Indeed, it is still too early to say that all Apple gadgets will be based solar power. Apple itself still has not given its official comments related to this.

Technology-based solar power indeed was heavily developed various companies so that's nothing new to know the sun is used to power for electronic devices. But it seems Apple's new, big companies then patent.

So if this patent successfully developed into a commercial alternative energy for the iPhone or iPad next generation, this will become an important record in the field of solar technology

10 Prediction of Storage Technology in 2011

Technology data center continues to grow each year. Then, how these trends in 2011? Consider the prediction Hu Yoshida, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Hitachi Data Systems. 

According to Hu, in 2011 will be colored with 10 main storage trends surrounding the transformation of the data center. Here penjabarannya as quoted on Tuesday (01/11/2011): 

1. Adoption of storage virtualization and dynamic provisioning faster. Both the foundation for the implementation of cloud computing and dynamic data center with high availability. Storage virtualization, virtualization of external storage arrays enable the migration from one array to another array without any interruption. Meanwhile, dynamic provisioning enables storage is provided in minutes. 

2. The integration of server and storage virtualization more closely. This integration is necessary to increase the adoption of virtualized data center. Today, server virtualization has matured beyond consolidation cost reductions from the print server, file, test and development to support the application server tier 1. Virtualization servers require the integration of virtualization storage array that can reduce the 'bottleneck' I / O software such as SCSI, so they can meet the needs of enterprise-class applications. 

 3. Adoption of virtual tiering for lifecycle management. Currently, tiering is able to allocate virtual volumes to a single pool of storage (storage group) that contains the performance, cost and number of tiers of storage. Virtual tiering also has the intelligence to move the components of that volume to another tier based on the number of access. 

Users do not need to classify a volume and allocate it to a single tier storage. Users also do not need to raise or lower the volume to a certain tier based on the activity. Dynamic Virtual tiering or tiering will do it automatically without the need to inter-tier classification or transfer. 

4. Time to use the SSD (Solid State Drive) in a virtual configuration tier. SSD can improve performance while lowering the cost of a virtual configuration tier. Currently, 80% more volume classified as inactive, only a small number of SSDs that are needed in Tier 1 to serve the active components from a single volume. 

Most of the volume can use SAS or SATA drives are cheaper. Multi-tier storage pool that has a little SSD and a lot of SAS or SATA drives will be cheaper than a pool of SAS drives with a total capacity of the same and give IOP of four to five times as much. 

5. Adoption of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) for enterprise storage systems. Unlike Fibre Channel (FC) loop is used to support FC drives on the old storage systems, SAS is a protocol point-to-point. FC loop requires every drive in the loop to help access to the loop, which resulted in inefficiencies. If you drive faster - such as SSD drives - connected to loop it, will spend the loop so that other drives do not miss out access. 

Most SAS drives currently 6Gbps speed and most of the FC loop is 4Gbps. Thus, SAS has faster performance with the access point-to-point, making them easier to find the drive that failed compared to FC loops. SAS is also compatible with SATA. The only difference is its port, SAS has a dual port SATA ports while the single. 

6. Drive SFF (Small Form Factor), will be more easily found. Mainly because of the power and cooling efficiency SFF owned. SFF devices are 2.5 inch drives which consume power around 6 to 8 watts, compared to drive Large Form Factor (LFF) 3.5 inch which takes 12 to 15 watts. Thus, SFF cut dramatically the power and cooling, plus also savings from the use of the room. 

Some vendors package the 24 disks in a drawer SFF 2U-high 33.5 inches wide. Hitachi AMS package and Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) to be more compact. One drawer AMS has 48 drive 3U high by 24 inches wide. This drawer can be pulled for maintenance by 48 disk is still spinning. 

7. Cloud accepted as one of the infrastructure model. Cloud computing will begin to be accepted as one of the concepts tested. A number of foundation to the Clouds will encourage adoption by providing a number of device management and orchestration layer that provides transparency throughout the process. 

8. Convergence data center soared. Convergence server infrastructure, storage and networking will simplify and accelerate application deployment. The use of servers, hypervisor, storage and network virtualization provides a way for an open platform that ensures investment protection and choice to users. 

9. Applications increasingly transparent in storage virtualization or application will require a Cloud infrastructure. Without this transparency, the user application can not know whether the target Service Level Agreement (SLA) has been reached, how to know their billing mechanisms, planning and utilization of health level of its infrastructure. 

Management software can provide a dashboard application for business units that use them in accordance with the target SLA. Dashboard shows the status of SLA, the allocation of disks, RAID type, port storage and the level of health infrastructure used, and capacity usage. 

10. Managed services (managed services) Remote start is available.
Remote Managed Services will reduce the burden of monitoring, reporting, warning and management of IT operations that prevent switching to new technology. For more than 10 years, the mandate given to IT is to do more with less so that the staff was busy with the maintenance of the same technology. To transform the data center, IT staff must find time for training, planning and execution. 

A group of IT experts who operate outside the Service Operations Center uses remote management devices can increase this capacity to the various installations at a cost of more acceptable and encourage faster return on investment.

LePhone from Lenovo

Lenovo is brewing its strategy to bring Android phones LePhone. One possibility is to invade a growing market such as Indonesia. 

It was raised Chen Shaopeng, Lenovo's Senior Vice President & President, Emerging Market Group, in a talk with some of the media - including detikINET - at The Venetian, Las Vegas, on the sidelines of the event pre-Consumer Electronic Show 2011, Wednesday ( 01/05/2011) or Thursday (01/06/2011)

Shaopeng said, LePhone is a new product for Lenovo. Therefore, he first of all present only in China. 

However, according to Lenovo still has a strategy to bring the device to the global market. "It's still being discussed, but one possibility is to present it first in markets that are growing," he said. 

Included in the markets emerging aka Emerging Market, he said, are the ASEAN countries like Indonesia. 

Emerging market countries, according to Shaopeng, suitable for most users more familiar with mobile devices than computers. He saw a trend that occurred in Indonesia, the Philippines and India. 

But again he insisted that this was not a final decision from Lenovo. So far a new official Lenovo LePhone market in China.

Kindle Present In Windows 7 Phone

Once present in Android, Kindle also has visited the latest Windows platform Phone 7 (WP7). WP7 Users also can read Kindle books while they wait, with W7-style appearance.

When detikINET visited Windows 7 Phone Marketplace on Wednesday (5/1/2010), this application has the basic black look like other applications in WP7. However, users also can replace it with white.

Like the Kindle, users can change the text size according to eye comfort. There are currently about 750,000 books sold on Amazon, including best sellers and new publications.

The application also has a feature that automatically Whispersync Amazon will synchronize the last page we read, record, or bookmarks with actual Kindle device.

IPAD and iPhone Target Cybercrime Favorites 2011

Not only was mentioned as a favorite gadget, a research report reveals IPAD and the iPhone is also a favorite target of cybercrime in 2011.

This was disclosed security firm McAfee Threat Predictions in his research project. McAfee stated in the next year, cyber attacks against the Apple platform, especially mobile devices such as iPad and the iPhone will increase.

This is because the growing popularity of these gadgets and more and more people, especially among companies that use them. If the first relatively free from the Apple platform botnet and trojan, McAfee says this kind of attack would generally happen in the next year.

Quoted from Cnet, on Thursday (30/12/2010), such attacks are not only targeting Apple gadgets but also other mobile platforms. The users mainly face certain attacks from the application without such supervision of the Android Market, which allows malicious applications to access user data.

Do not forget, besides that new media such as Google TV and social networks like Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook are also very vulnerable. McAfee provides notes on this year began a proliferation of application-controlled botnet.

The launch of Google TV Delayed

Google TV which was originally heralded as soon slid this year should be postponed. Because of this, Google has also asked the TV producer who becomes his partner for products do not always announce their Google TV. There is what in the world?

Apparently, as reported by the Wall Street Journal and quoted on Monday (20/12/2010), this delay should be done because Google feels still need to improve the ability of Google TV software before products based TV Google TV services invade the market.

Nevertheless, the Samsung as one of Google's partners in this case remains a web TV will launch Google TV service based on schedule, namely at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, United States, beginning next month.

Google itself has yet to officially comment on the reason for this delay. Gina Weakley Google spokesman confirmed only about their long-term goals related to Google's TV services.

"Our long term goal is to collaborate with a broad community of electronics manufacturers to help promote the latest generation TVs. We look forward to working with other partners to bring more new devices to the market in coming years," he explained.

Google-based TV allows TV viewers to surf the internet using a TV. Some devices with this capability is already present a few months ago, for example like that introduced the Sony and Logitech.

Meanwhile, other Google partners such as Toshiba, LG, and Sharp follow Google's advice to take them to delay the launch of Google TV. And indeed, just like Samsung, they plan to show these products at CES.

"We understand Google considerations about future product roadmap, and we believe this decision will bring a good product in the right timeframe," said Jeff Barney as Vice President of Toshiba's Digital Products Division.

RIM makes the BlackBerry World

 First, a large mat Research In Motion is a World Enterprise Symposium (WES). Now, WES no more and replaced the BlackBerry World.

As noted in a written statement received detikINET, Friday (12/10/2010), RIM will hold a conference called the BlackBerry World in May 2011 in Orlando, United States.

Unlike the WES, which is more focused on the enterprise world, the BlackBerry World promised to show all aspects of the BlackBerry. It includes the world's Enterprise and consumer retail.

RIM itself does not necessarily remove the WES. Only, this time WES will be part of the BlackBerry World besides there are many tracks and other sessions are more extensive.

RIM said the BlackBerry World will be the event that bring together business people, IT professionals, BlackBerry Channel Partners (eg telecom operators), software vendors to industry analysts.

"This is a meeting with the broadest range of wireless experts in one place within a year," said RIM in BlackBerryWorld.com site.

Google Chrome OS Reportedly Released This Week

The arrival of the operating system (OS) Chrome warm again discussed. Although the CEO of Google CEO Eric Schmidt has confirmed new Chrome will be available early 2011, the latest news surfaced, fueling speculation that the Google OS will be launched officially this weekend. 

Quoted from PC World, on Monday (06/12/2010) Google is rumored to be menghelat an event on Tuesday next week in San Francisco. Due to the event invitation on behalf of the Google Chrome team, then the rumors about the launch of OS Chrome was instantly filled. 

Mentioned in the invitation, the event will take place at 10 am San Francisco time right on December 7, 2010. However, Google's representative questioned, declined comment. 

Before officially appearance, Chrome OS mentioned will have the features compared to other OSes, one good enough to be able to boot quickly to the browser Chrome. 

Google executives previously have said that they are trying to encourage the user enters a website, where they can interact with all of Google's services and web applications. 

"When the OS Chrome present in the market later on, all activities will be stored in the cloud (cloud)," he once said Sundar Pichai as Vice President of Product Management Google last year. 

This is according Pichai Chrome is one of the advantages that make all user data more secure. "For example, if you lose your netbook which uses Chrome and memberli else is new, all the information you'll be back as soon as you log into the new netbook," he said promote.

Android craze, BlackBerry OS Beat Apple IOS

BlackBerry OS market share could eventually overthrew the Apple operating system, IOS. While stretching increasingly Android craze, scoring a significant jump in performance.

According to agency data analyst StatCounter, BlackBerry OS victory over Apple the IOS is the case during the month of November in the United States smartphone market.

In that data, the BlackBerry OS scored 34.3 percent market share, Apple's thin lead of IOS with 33 percent. Though in the same period last year, Apple had triumphed by the power of Cisco IOS 51.9 percent.

As for Android continues stalking in third place with 23.8 percent achievement. Far beyond Google digawangi Raihan OS that only 8.2 percent scored at the end of last year.

"These figures show that the developer should not solely to make application for the iPhone only to the exclusion of the BlackBerry and Android," said CEO of StatCounter, Aodhan Cullen, quoted from Cellular News, on Thursday (02/11/2010).

In fact, he adds, if this trend continues, it is not impossible that the market share of the BlackBerry OS and Android will increasingly meraksasa next year.

So what about Windows 7 Phone? Related OS from Microsoft is that, Cullen claimed to have seen a significant threat for now. But he predict when this might be different next year.
"You can not underestimate Microsoft," he said.

BlackBerry OS may just be pemuncak in the U.S.. But for the global market, Symbian is still in power with 31.9 percent market share. Followed by Apple IOS 21.9 percent, 19.3 percent BlackBerry, and 11.6 percent Android

Sunflower Can Preventing Nuclear Radiation

Benefits of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) not only found in its seeds that can be made kwaci. All parts of the ornamental plant bright yellow this could be a drug ingredient, can even neutralize the effects of radiation from nuclear waste.


The benefit is evidenced in the tragedy at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor leak in 1986. When most of the water in the region of radioactive contamination, planting sunflowers on a floating raft capable of reducing the impact of radiation in waters up to 95 percent.


The secret is the root structure is so dense and strong, so able to extract heavy metals such as arsenic and lead. Even the radioactive element can also be absorbed, including uranium and stronium-90 that can cause genetic mutations in humans.


Quoted from Healthmad, Thursday (25/11/2010), other parts of the sunflower plant is its leaves are also useful. This section is able to relieve asthma and whooping cough due to bronchitis, and even can heal wounds and infections.


To relieve cough and asthma, the leaves together with strands of dried sunflowers majemuknya flower crown. Leaves and flowers are dry brewed hot water, then drink warm like tea every day until symptoms subside.


As for treating wounds and infections, which are still fresh leaves are crushed together to form a sunflower seed tapel or pasta. Tapel was then used to compress the wound or ulcer to the wound and pasta are both dry.


The most widely used is sunflower oil, which is believed to overcome many chronic diseases including heart disease and neurological disorders. Because of the popularity, this oil is sold in supplement form is ready to drink.


Besides containing a single chain unsaturated oils are good for the heart, this oil also contains vitamin E, which serves as an antidote to free radicals. The content is useful for skin care because it can resist the effects of aging such as wrinkles and dull skin.
