Singer Prince refused to distribute the song via the Internet and considers the digital era is over. “The Internet has really done,” said Prince told a British newspaper, the Daily Mirror.

This singer who performed “The Most Beautiful Girl In The World” questioned why he had to peddle his songs digitally, such as or similar to the iTunes digital music service when it does not pay royalties to him. “But then they got angry when they couldn’t get the song,” Prince said.

He added that computers and digital gadgets are not good because it means users simply fill the heads with numbers. “And that’s not good for you,” he said.

For the new album, entitled 20Ten, Prince will use the format of the CD and are sold manually. The decision not to use internet services for the dissemination of his work was backed by a bad experience. In 2007, Prince’s official site closed because of a “quarrel” with the services of eBay, YouTube and the Pirate Bay which are considered abusing his songs.

Currently the technology is not just complementary mobility per se, but also has become a necessity that must exist to facilitate us to move. Unnoticed amid the existence of the community, technology has contributed many benefits to support all activities, both in rural communities, and those who live in big cities.

Then, how important is the role of technology to facilitate all our activities?

Facilitate communication
If the first telegram and a letter that became one of the means to communicate with family or friends who are outside the city or abroad, now this seems to be two of the facilities have started to be replaced by a device that only the size of a hand grip, cell phone! (more…)

“Boeing’s New 787 May Be Vulnerable to Hacker Attack.” That’s the headline that appeared in various media on January 5, 2008. The article itself comes from the Federal Aviation Administration claims, or the U.S. aviation business entity. How a plane – which is generally hijacked by terrorists – could is now being attacked by hackers who attack computer normally?

The answer: “Everything is computer nowadays,” said Eugene Kaspersky, CEO and founder of Kaspersky internet Security Company in Jakarta, Thursday (8 / 10). Everything is computer today. He pointed out, ranging from mobile phones, cars, to refrigerators and coffee machines have been equipped with similar operating system on the computer. Some are connected to the internet so it can be accessed remotely.

So when I called the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft attacked a potential hacker, it’s not a story without foundation. This aircraft, the FAA report, called a computer network that allows passengers to “experts” access control system aircraft.

Initially, the computer network in the passenger seat was designed to provide Internet access throughout the journey. However, these networks are connected to the aircraft control systems and navigation and communication systems. So the entrance was created for the passengers to take control of the aircraft. Regarding the possibility that, Boeing has designed a solution to a hacker attack through the network is not possible.

According to Kaspersky, malware or malicious software that used to only grow in the PC world has since some time ago appeared in a variety of mobile devices, such as mobile phones. “In Russia, one could even create malware to enter the bank’s network, then change the value of the ruble exchange rate becomes much higher. The dollar was then exchanged into rubles and big profit,” he says.

Indeed, malware, which then leads on Cybercrime, has become a business. Business lucrative and attractive to many people because it produces huge money, the easy way. Therefore not easy to fight this type of crime.

Not Again Network IT

It is said Kaspersky, interaction is possible in web 2.0, also makes the system much more open to outsiders. Users who currently own may conduct transactions in various systems, indirectly making the system accessible to others. No wonder online banking system is one of the coveted cyberspace criminals.

Another thing that might happen is extortion by threatening non-IT installation. In January of 2008, the U.S. intelligence agency, the CIA, after hackers who threaten to sabotage the flow of electricity through its network that connects the Internet when not provided a ransom for him. “That may happen. Even the hackers in the Ukraine could be deadly Internet,” said Kaspersky.

Story can be seen more clearly in the movie Die Hard 4 starring Bruce Willis, where a group of criminals disrupt computer systems major cities in the U.S., including the government network. The goal may vary, a ransom, stealing state money, or subvert the government. “In the future, such events could actually happen.”

The first cyber crime is limited to the computer environment, is now threatening widespread non-IT environment. And this could not be separated from technological developments that made all things evolve into a computer.

In his joke, Kaspersky throw the question, “What’s the difference smartphone with a computer?” The answer is, “Smartphone does not use a mouse.” This means that almost no different smartphone with your computer, as well as other goods in the future. So beware the sophisticated stuff you, because from where an attack could enter.

Routine activities every year will soon arrive, especially if it was not going home. With the approach of Eid holidays have started street crowded with vehicles like going home.

Usually boredom began to appear in the middle of traffic jams. To avoid boredom, one of the most enjoyable activities is browsing! We can monitor traffic flow on major roads, such as video streaming, or follow the news on websites can even chat as much with our friends.

Even more fun if we follow and read the status-status friends on facebook and twitter. In addition, anyone can know anyone who is going home; we can all know where the points are affected by freezes.

To do it all at least we should have a phone that can browse or computer, but it would not practical if you have to bring a desktop or laptop computer great.

Now widely available Netbook, a tiny practical device. The options are tempting enough netbook packages directly online from the operator Smart Telecom. Connection upload speed approximately 5 times that of the 3.5G GSM connections.

Now the boring trip turned into a pleasant journey.
