How long has the gadget-loving world been talking about the idea of a Googlephone? For at least three years-before there was an iPhone, let alone an Android. The longer people talked about it, the more revolutionary it was supposed to be. Who better than Google, after all, to show what an Android phone can be and shatter people’s assumptions about how phones and phone service are sold while it’s at it?

On Tuesday, Google finally announced the Googlephone, in the form of the Nexus One-if you define “Googlephone” as a phone with Google software and Google branding, sold by Google on a Google site. And…there’s nothing radical about it. Judging from the first few hours I’ve spent playing with one, it’s a good phone-a really good phone. The best Android phone so far, and (along with Palm’s Pre) one of the few phones worthy of being discussed in the same breath as Apple’s iPhone.

But everything that’s better about it is evolutionary, not revolutionary. It’s a little bit better than Verizon’s Droid, which was a little bit better than HTC’s Hero, which was a little bit better than the MyTouch. And considering that Verizon’s Droid spent just two months as the undisputed Android-phone-to-buy, it wouldn’t be the least bit surprising if the Nexus One was ousted by another little-bit-better phone by Spring. There’s also not nothing particularly remarkable about the way Google is selling the phone, although the company says to stay tuned for more phones with more hardware and carrier partners-including a Verizon Nexus One this Spring.

Bottom line: If Android-based phones are going to catch up with the iPhone-and they might-they’re going to do so in a series of baby steps, not through the Great Leap Forward that some folks expected this phone to be.

Like other journalists at Google’s launch event, I received one as a review loaner. Here are my first impressions. As is my wont, I’m going to provide them in the form of a FAQ.

How’s the phone’s industrial design?

Nice, but there’s just not that much you can do to distinguish one keyboardless touch-screen phone from another-they’re all thin rectangles that are mostly display. The Nexus One manages to pack slightly larger screen than the one in the iPhone 3GS (3.7? vs. 3.5?) into a phone that’s a tad narrower and therefore comfortable in the hand. It’s made of what seems high-quality plastic, and build quality is solid. It’s got the standard Android back, menu, home, and search buttons, plus a trackball similar to the one in phones such as T-Mobile’s MyTouch. (The trackball lights up, thereby serving as a status light for notifications such as the arrival of new e-mail-clever!) Overall, in fact, the N1 feels like a much sexier, sleeker, next-generation MyTouch.

How’s the screen?

Excellent. The resolution is lower than that of the Droid (480 by 800 vs. 480 by 854), but the AMOLED screen is brighter and more beautiful. (At least if you turn off the auto-brightness feature and set the sliders on the two phones to the same level-in my limited testing, the N1’s auto-brightness feature seemed to choose a dimmer level than the Droid’s.) Both easily trump the iPhone 3GS’s 480-by-320 LCD, which at this point is that phone’s most archaic hardware spec.

How’s the camera?

I need to test it more. But it seems like a better 5-megapixel model than the Droid’s-which sometimes produces murky results-and the LED flash lets you snap shots in places where the iPhone’s flashless 2-megapixel camera is a no-go.

And the onscreen keyboard?

If you’ve comfortable with the iPhone keyboard, I think you’ll like this one just fine, and might even prefer it-I immediately began typing with almost no mistakes, in both portrait and landscape modes. If you don’t have any experience with onscreen keyboards, expect to spend a few days getting the knack of this one.

And the voice recognition?

The fact that it’s built in everywhere you can get to the keyboard is a big step. I dictated a few e-mails and got close to 100% accuracy-which was better than either Walt Mossberg or David Pogue got. But the server-based processing was more sluggish than with Dragon’s Dictation app for the iPhone. At today’s event, Google also talked up using voice recognition for stuff like getting driving directions when you’re at the wheel. Which only sounds a little safer than typing while driving.

The Nexus One lacks multitouch, right? Is that a big deal?

I’m mostly curious about why it doesn’t have it-at tod

I watching cartoon. especially  from Disneyland production. one of cartoon was catching my eyes is Aladin a story from middle east. this story about genie and A poor man with a flying rug. as I know rugs are famous from middle east.  someday I do search the website which have information about rugs, Although there was no one can told me “here the flying rug” :P.
my searching was stopped at a website and I found many kind of rugs. there was have different shape, and size. the things makes me surprised the shape of rug actually wasn’t monotone in rounded style, there was abstract, animal shape (it’s so cool!!) and the best thing: Kid rugs, with DISNEY collection.
about the size, I just imagine the size of rugs seems at Aladdin cartoon, yet I’m surely wrong. there was area rugs, it seems carpet but more good looking. I was wondering decorated my room with this, because it very cheap rugs and discount area rugs.
If I want to decorate my room I would to place area rugs on floor and some kid rugs to make it cool.

area rugs plus kid rugs. so cool, isn’t it?

for your information, the web http://www.superiorrugs.com/ has very complete kind of rugs, color, shape, and all are cheap rugs. www.superiorrugs.com is a great rugs site that provides high quality rugs at low prices.
if you want to buy it, don’t forget to buy me one too, anyway :D

this site will offline, soon

search me on google if you can

Setelah ngumpulin duit untuk film yang ditunggu kehadirannya, akhirnya tepat hari premiernya, saya bisa nonton film kambingJantan:Sebuah FILM pelajar bodoh.

Film ini bercerita tentang Kambing (Radityadika) yang hidup di dua alam benua, Indonesia-Australia. Cerita Film ini berisi cerita pencintaan antara Kambing dan Kebo, Cinta brontosaurus katanya. (emang kambing kawin sama kebo anaknya brontosaurus?). dan juga kisah pertemanan Kambing dengan Hariyanto, cowok asli Kediri….

Ok Ok, saya tau, mungkin bagi penggemar berat Raditya dika udah pada tau sinopsisnya. jadi ya sudahlah, saya mulai masuk ke opini dan review  saya. semoga enggak spoiler.

Opening film ini dibuka dengan adegan papa si kambing, adegan ini menjelaskan kenapa radityadika pake nama “KambingJantan”, kenapa dengan si papa si kambing? liat aja filmnya ya.

ending film ini……………… ga ah, ntar ditimpuk lagi sama yg belom liat. oke2 masuk opini/review saya aja.

film ini secara visual emang keren abis, banyak adegan-adegan absurd yang sangat natural. (nah loh apaan itu?). maksud saya, adegan-adegan di film ini dibuat tidak ‘di-lucu-lucu-in’ tapi dibuat

scoringnya pun keren abis. ga mengganggu scene-yang mana biasanya di film-film bikin berisik!!- lebih terdengar jazzy kalo saya bilang. yang agak berisik itu di bagian rasty jatoh, ada suara-seriousa-cewek-cewek nyanyi “jangan mati rasty, jangan mati rasty” (copy paste tulisan dalam tanda petik 50 kali untuk mengetahui lama lagunya, heheh).

untuk pemeran, hmm, ceweknya cakep-cakep, sumpah ngiri banget sama Radith yang beradegan kissing sama hariyanto si kebo (Fiza). Dan pemeran cowoknya…. ga ada yang ganteng!

filmnya sih sebenernya ga 100% humor/komedi. dramatik malah kalo saya lihat, komedi banyak di adegan harianto, akting Edrick candra emang top
komedinya bukan komedi yang biasa di film-film Indonesia-seperti komedi jorok atau apalah yang jayus-komedi yang ditawarkan adalah khas radith sendiri, dan komedinya disampaikan secara dialog-yang mana biasanya ada di film-film komedi luar negeri. and it work on this film, kelemahan komedi ini adalah kita kudu bener2 dengar dialognya,(sumpah susah banget kalo nonton di bioskop yang penuh dengan ABG yang pandai ketawa ngakak!)

untuk masalah jalan cerita, plot-plotnya, emang ga perlu diragukan lagi, garapan Salman aristo emang keren, oh iya mungkin ini film keseharian, plotnya sangat sederhana, lebih mirip film dokumenter gitu lah.

adegan yang sangat keren adalah, adegan si kambing yang telpon-telponan sama kebo. latar tempat ruang imajinasinya keren. seperti menyatukan dua orang yang sangat berjauhan.

film ini ga sama dengan bukunya kok, jadi yang belum baca bukunya ga usah baca bukunya, malah jangan baca bukunya dulu, entar malah kerasa spoiler, karena beberapa adegan saya bisa menebak gara-gara ceritanya ada di buku.

ga usah panjang-panjang ah, Film ini dapat 5 bintang dari 5 bintang dan 4 binatang dari 5 binatang. ayo buruan liat aja deh, kalo ada yang punya duit lebih, jangan lupa aja saya

kesan saya sih, karena ini film keseharian, kayak unfinished gitu, pengen liat terus. tambah suka kalo dibikin serial, inget SERIAL bukan SINETRON!

sukses buat radith!! mengalah kan mbak Dewi Lestari–yang mengeluarkan karya lagu dan cerpen. radith telah membuat karya dengan tiga jenis berbeda, buku, komik, dan FILM!! dan juga mengalahkan Adhitya Mulya, novelnya jadi film dianya jadi figuran. radith bukunya jadi film dengan dia jadi pemeran utama. woh keren!

pS: harusnya judul filmnya cinta brontosaurus, abis kebanyakan cerita yg diambil dari buku keduanya malah.

kacamata yg dipakai si kambing mirip banget dengan kacamata saya. untung pas nonton ga dikira kambing lepas.

Terpaan angin membawa butiran-butiran air
kecil dan halus
membelai wajah di sepertiga malam terakhir

sedikit bingung,
Ini gerimis atau embun??

**diimajinasikan 02.00am. capeknya!!

Ngomongin resolusi untuk 2009 memang telat banget. terlebih lagi udah masuk bulan ke dua eh udah mau bulan ketiga ding. setelah melewati halang rintangan di 2008 sepertinya saya ga mengubah resolusi tahun 2008 kemarin. **Yesyeslaah ga ada yang terwujud gitu loh!** begini ceritanya Continue reading…

Itulah tiga kata yang sering saya dengar (dan katakan) saat guru memberi tugas, entah itu Pe Er ataupun makalah laporan praktek. Budaya Copasprint sebenernya juga baru saya dengar waktu masuk SMA dulu. Budaya ini sudah mengakar deh, Bagaimana tidak, kerena hampir semua pelajaran pasti ada aja tugas membuat makalah tiap babnya dan waktunya selalu mepet, sekarang dapat tugs besok sudah dikumpulkan.

Saya sendiri, sebagai murid yang termasuk golongan orang-orang malas tentu saja paling sering melakukan copasprint. Ralat, bukan sering melainkan, selalu. Dan orang-orang malas itu berjumlah tujuh orang, siapa saja itu? Continue reading…
