Wireless Network Watcher – keep an eye on who uses your WiFi

Wireless Network Connections are often at risk of being accessed by unauthorized personnel at office or home, when not properly secured. Even if you have secured your network, still there are WiFi scanners which can brute force into the network and allow others to use it. The first thing to do is keep an eye on your Wireless network to see that only your authorized devices use it. Nearlly all WiFi routers have a Client or DNS IP allocation list to tell you that who is connected to Wireless but that option is not very handy for normal users or lacking some user friendly information to track down the culprit. Wirelss Network Watcher gives you that information very easily.

Wireless Network Watcher is a portable tool which scans a wireless network to displays the list of all devices and computers currently connected to it. For every computer and connected device, a list of useful information is provided to help identify intruders which may have accessed your Wireless connection. The available information includes, IP, MAC address, computer name and network card manufacturer’s name. You can also export the devices list in HTML, XML, CSV, and text file format or copy it to the clipboard.

Using this watcher you can always check if you have any unauthorized device using your internet. This software is just a “watcher” application, so it cannot stop them. But once you have information of illegal users you can catch the culprit or configure in your WiFi router or modem to block those particular devices using their Mac address.

50% BTS 3G Telkomsel Bisa Jalankan 4G

50% BTS 3G Telkomsel Bisa Jalankan 4G

Shenzen - Telkomsel menyatakan diri sudah mempersiapkan infrastruktur untuk menggelar layanan 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution). Sebagian Base Transceiver Station (BTS) Telkomsel bisa langsung diupdgrade untuk mendukung layanan 4G LTE.

"Kami saat ini punya 38 ribu base transceiver station. Sebanyak 8000 di antaranya menjalankan 3G dan 4000 sudah siap untuk upgrade ke 4G," ucap Herfini Haryono, Director of Planning & Development & CIO Telkomsel dalam ajang Telkomsel Media Education 2011.

Upgrade ke jaringan 4G diklaim tidak ribet. Herfini menyatakan, kurang lebih dibutuhkan waktu sebulan agar BTS bisa berfungsi melayani akses ke jaringan seluler paling mutakhir tersebut.

Hanya saja sampai sekarang, komersialisasi 4G belum dimungkinkan di Indonesia. Seperti disebutkan dalam pemberitaan sebelumnya, pihak operator masih menunggu regulasi pemerintah dalam mengatur frekuensi yang dibutuhkan.

"Kapan saja kami siap menggelar. Pemerintah memang sedang berusaha mengatur alokasi frekuensi, namun tidak mudah," tambah Herfini.

Jika nanti layanan 4G digelar, Herfini menyatakan Telkomsel akan berupaya melayani masyarakat di berbagai daerah. Meski Jakarta mungkin tetap akan menjadi prioritas utama, jaringan 4G Telkomsel mungkin juga menerobos ke berbagai wilayah Tanah Air.

Di sisi lain, adopsi jaringan 4G dinilai bukan sekadar gaya-gayaan dari pihak operator. Penerapannya tidak lepas dari tuntutan masyarakat yang saat ini makin membutuhkan layanan kualitas tinggi.

"Pelanggan saat ini makin pintar, mereka ingin layanan dengan kualitas tinggi dengan harga murah," ucap Dr. Ir. Joko Suryana, Dosen Sekolah Teknik Elektro dan Informatika ITB ketika memaparkan presentasinya di Shenzen, China.

Nah, LTE dipandang dapat memenuhi tuntutan masyarakat tersebut. Di samping akses data lebih cepat, Joko menyatakan bahwa penerapan LTE juga cukup rendah dari sisi cost. Jadi ada kemungkinan, tarif layanannya tidak jauh berbeda dengan generasi sebelumnya.

Virus Ramnit Masih Berjaya di 2011

Virus Ramnit Masih Berjaya di 2011

Jakarta - Virus Ramnit mulai menyebar di Indonesia sejak Februari 2011, namun sampai sekarang virus yang terkenal bandel ini masih mendominasi serangan program jahat di Tanah Air.

Ramnit memang tergolong canggih. Selain memiliki kemampuan mengunduh virus lain, program jahat ini juga mampu bekerjasama dengan virus lainnya untuk menginfeksi korbannya, itulah yang membuatnya sulit diberantas.

"Hingga semester pertama 2011 Ramnit masih mendominasi serangan virus," ujar Adang Juhar Taufik, Senior Vaksinis dalam seminar Internet Banking Threat And Virus Incident Indonesia 2011.

Menurut Adang, selain karena kecanggihnya, virus Ramnit masih mendominasi lantaran selalu memperbarui dirinya. Itulah yang membuat sebagian Antivirus kewalahan menghadapinya.

"Hingga kini varian Ramnit sangat banyak, namun rata-rata punya file induk yang sama, jadi metode pemberantasanya mirip," jelas Adang, kepada sejumlah peserta seminar.

Kesamaan modus penyerangan tersebut, sebenarnya bisa dilihat dari ciri-ciri komputer yang terjangkit. Misalnya saja muncul beberapa pop-up aneh, atau kinerja komputer yang menjadi lambat tanpa sebab.

Dan jika Anda sudah terjangkit, mungkin kiat berikut ini bisa membasmi virus Ramnit dari Komputer.

Ekspansi Google ke Indonesia Terganjal Regulasi

Ekspansi Google ke Indonesia Terganjal Regulasi

Jakarta - Ekspansi Google ke Indonesia terganjal masalah regulasi. Maka dari itu mantan CEO Google, Eric Schmidt meminta kelonggaran terkait data center yang wajib ada di Indonesia bagi perusahaan multinasional berbasis teknologi.

Hal ini disampaikan Eric Schmidt kepada Erwin Aksa yang mewakili Himpunan Pengusaha Muda Indonesia (HIPMI) Erwin Aksa, di sela-sela Regional Entrepreneurship Summit, Nusa Dua, Bali, Jumat (22/7/2011) malam.

"Telekomunikasi sudah tidak terbatas, dan data center, saya kira kewenangannya ada di Menteri Komunikasi dan Telekomunikasi. Mereka (Google) minta ada fleksibiltas. Mereka kan punya tersentral. Masak kita yang membatasi," ungkapnya.

Kelonggaran lain yang diminta Google adalah, keberpihakan positif dari pemerintah Indonesia atas perusahaan advertising asing. "Ini terkait negatif list advertising asing di Indonesia. Google kan usahanya berbasis itu," tutur Erwin.

Memang penetrasi internet di Indonesia sangat rendah. Untuk itu, lanjut Erwin, perlu optimalisasi pendidikan khususnya perancangan kurikulum yang mendukung pengetahuan masyarakat akan internet.

"Tetap yang mendasar di pendidikan. Ini yang menopang. Utamanya science and technology. Dengan demikian maka pengusaha yang bergelut juga terbatas. Padahal pasar terbuka lebar. Dan sekarang bagaimana pekerjaan rumah infrastruktur harus diatur. Begitu juga dengan SDM," tuturnya.

Erwin menambahkan, perguruan tinggi Indonesia juga harus mendorong kurikulum yang berbasis teknologi. Tentu dengan berlangsungnya rancangan pendidikan, maka tercipta ekosistem enterpreneurship.

"Google membutuhkan konten, meski sudah banyak dilakukan pengusaha di Indonesia. Dan Google jadi Katalis dan memberikan pendidikan bagi anak muda. Google kan harus punya basis dan mereka tidak mungkin bisa direct access, karena ada kendala bahasa dan market," ucapnya.

Google Punya Banyak Rencana di Indonesia

Google Punya Banyak Rencana di Indonesia

Jakarta - Investasi yang bakal digelontorkan Google sepertinya tidak main-main. Bahkan ditegaskan Chairman Executive Google Eric Schmidt, raksasa internet itu punya banyak sekali rencana untuk diimplementasikan di Indonesia.

Ditemui di sela acara Entrepreneurship Summit ASEAN yang berlangsung di Bali, Jumat (22/7/2011), Eric memang belum mau mengungkap secara gamblang strategi bisnis yang akan dijalankan Google. Namun melihat derap langkahnya yang baru saja bertandang ke Wapres Boediono, sepertinya pergerakan Google di Tanah Air bakal serius.

"Saya tidak bisa berbicara soal akuisisi. Kami punya banyak sekali rencana. Yang penting kami harus selesaikan dulu pembicaraan dengan pemerintah," tukasnya.

Mantan CEO Google itu menekankan bakal memberi prioritas tersendiri untuk kalangan usaha kecil dan menengah (UKM). "Kami akan fokus karena Indonesia punya potensi UKM sangat besar. Kalau investasi di internet kami dapat membantu mereka terhubung secara online (usahanya). Itu yang kami bicarakan dengan pemerintah," kata Eric.

Di tempat yang sama, Kepala BKPM Gita Wirjawan menambahkan bahwa belum ada bocoran berapa nilai investasi yang akan digelontorkan di Indonesia. Misi utamanya untuk saat ini adalah bagaimana mereka masuk dulu.

"Mudah-mudahan sebelum akhir tahun (sudah ada kejelasan terkait investasi). Kita sudah bertemu beberapa kali, mereka kirim wakil dari kantor Singapura dalam 1-2 bulan mendatang," kata Gita.

"Kita bisa mengedepankan apapun, hal-hal yang bisa kita selesaikan. Ini baru pembahasan awal. Yang jelas Indonesia adalah destinasi yang sangat menarik," pungkasnya.

Mac batteries could be hot tool for hackers

Charlie Miller / Accuvanta

By Suzanne Choney

We worry a lot about our computers' — and increasingly our phones' — security vulnerabilities. But how could a laptop's battery be used for malware or other mischief?a

It might, at least in some Mac batteries, according to security researcher Charlie Miller, who has previously discovered exploits in iPhones and iPads as well as the Android mobile operating system.a

Miller says modern batteries in laptops like MacBooks, MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs have an embedded chip to help the batteries perform more efficiently. But those chips have default passwords that could be easy for a hacker to figure out, he says, then potentially plant malware that infects the laptop. Troublemakers could even mess with the battery itself to the point it catches fire or explodes, he says.a

He knows first-hand, after essentially testing his theory out and destroying seven batteries (with some of fruits of his handiwork shown in the photo above).a

"These batteries just aren’t designed with the idea that people will mess with them,” Miller told Forbes. “What I’m showing is that it’s possible to use them to do something really bad.”a

Miller, who works for Accuvant Labs, plans to share a proposed fix for the potential problem at the Black Hat conference next month. A program called “Caulkgun” would change the battery "firmware’s passwords to a random string, preventing the default password attack he used," Forbes said.a

Miller says he has let Apple know about the problem, but has yet to hear back from the company.a

RIM's QNX-Based PlayBook Will Get Android App Player

Research In Motion is developing an Android App Player for its QNX-based PlayBook tablet Relevant Products/Services, and it's expected to be available before the end of summer. A beta version of the player was inadvertently posted on the company's BlackBerry site and has since been removed, RIM confirmed Friday.

However, the 143.28MB sys.android.bar player file was uploaded to several mirror sites around the world. RIM is advising PlayBook users to not download the file.

"We recommend that users refrain from downloading and installing this software since it is outdated and nonfunctional in many respects," a RIM spokesperson said. "The official beta release of the Android App Player for the BlackBerry PlayBook is on track for release later this summer."

Open To Alternatives

RIM's goal is to enable PlayBook users to graze the 250,000 apps at the Android Marketplace. RIM's BlackBerry World is sparsely populated by comparison.

"Supporting the Android ecosystem is an interesting move because it can be interpreted as giving up on building its own ecosystem," noted Al Hilwa, director of applications development software at IDC. "But in reality, using Android as a middle layer shows that they are open for alternative approaches and run an open and welcoming platform."

Still, running Android has to be implemented properly so apps are attractive and usable, Hilwa observed. "I don't believe we have seen exactly how this is going to happen yet," Hilwa said. "If RIM moves ahead with supporting Android apps, it will be one of many things that RIM is doing to improve the PlayBook -- all of which would also pay dividends with its crucial phone OS transition."

RIM is doing the right thing in pushing the developer story even as it tries out new things, Hilwa observed. "RIM has to develop an ecosystem which can generate a critical mass of apps [for] the Playbook as well as their future phones based on the QNX system," Hilwa explained. The problem for RIM is that all the developer oxygen is currently "being sucked up by Apple and Android, with Microsoft tapping its existing .NET base to generate some activity around Windows Relevant Products/Services Phone," Hilwa added.

JayCut Acquisition

RIM acquired JayCut this week to bring the Sweden-based company's online video Relevant Products/Services editor and cloud Relevant Products/Services-based services to the PlayBook, which features dual HD cameras for video capture and video conferencing, HDMI output, and high-resolution video playback, RIM CTO David Yach observed.

Verizon Revenue Up, But AT&T Wins iPhone War

After good news from AT&T Relevant Products/Services earlier this week, Verizon Communications is also proving that smartphones are the future growth vehicle for telecom. Verizon's operating revenue was $27.5 billion in the second quarter, an increase of 2.8 percent from a year ago.

But like AT&T's results, one of the big story lines is mobile Relevant Products/Services broadband growth.

A Services Boom

Service revenue for Verizon Wireless rose 6.6 percent to $14.7 billion. Data accounted for $5.8 billion of that total -- up $1.1 billion, or 22.2 percent. Postpaid average revenue per user grew 1.9 percent to $54.12 per month. Data made up $21.26 of that total, a 15.2 percent boost from a year ago.

Verizon Wireless is a joint venture between Verizon Communications and United Kingdom-based Vodafone.

"In terms of earnings growth and the acceleration of revenue growth, this has been one of Verizon's best quarters since the 2008 economic downturn," said Verizon Communications Chairman and CEO Ivan Seidenberg, who stepped down on Friday and handed the reins to Verizon President and COO Lowell C. McAdam. Seidenberg will remain chairman during the transition.

"We expect Verizon Wireless to gain share in the retail postpaid market and widen its network Relevant Products/Services-quality lead throughout 2011," Seidenberg said. "We also continue to see strong customer Relevant Products/Services demand for FiOS Internet and TV, and for cloud Relevant Products/Services and other strategic services. At the same time, we remain focused on our cost structure as we deliver improvements in wire-line margins quarter after quarter."

The iPhone Wars

Verizon added 2.2 million subscribers, including 1.3 million postpaid subscribers, giving it 106.3 million customers. That equals 6.6 percent year-over-year growth -- and it also tops AT&T's 1.1 million new subscribers and 98.6 million total. Still, AT&T beat Verizon in the iPhone wars.

In fact, AT&T has more smartphone Relevant Products/Services users than Verizon. AT&T reported that about 50 percent of its postpaid subscribers are using smartphones. That compares to 36 percent at Verizon. And for iPhones, Verizon Wireless activated 2.3 million iPhones in the second quarter, compared to 3.6 million at AT&T.

"The earnings report shows how the smartphone has gone from a business Relevant Products/Services tool to a mass-market consumer device. Verizon had a really nice array of Android devices and of course all of that multiyear pent-up demand for a Verizon iPhone that finally came true. Verizon was able to capitalize on that in a big way," said Michael Gartenberg, an analyst at Gartner Relevant Products/Services. (continued...)

Apple Bikin Display 3D Tanpa Kacamata?

Apple Bikin Display 3D Tanpa Kacamata?

Jakarta - Apple dikabarkan tengah merancang display multi layer yang memungkinkan pengguna dapat melihat gambar 3D tanpa kacamata.

Desas-desus ini bersumber dari AppleInsider yang mendapatkan informasi paten aplikasi terbaru Apple. Dalam paten itu disebutkan bahwa Apple sedang mengembangkan teknologi display terbaru.

Perangkat berkemampuan 3D yang saat ini kerap menciptakan persepsi kedalaman grafis komputer yang digunakan untuk meningkatkan sudut pandang gambar dua dimensi.

Namun perusahaan yang berpusat di Cupertino, California, Amerika Serikat (AS) ini yakin teknik seperti itu tidak sempurna, karena hanya mengirimkan sejumlah kedalaman gambar yang terbatas dan mengharuskan pengguna menggunakan kacamata yang kurang nyaman agar bisa melihatnya.

Nah, sistem display multi layer yang dikembangkan Apple, seperti dilansir TG Daily dan dikutip detikINET, Jumat (22/7/2011), ditampilkan oleh sejumlah layar organic light-emitting diode (OLED) transparan. Setiap layar display dapat ditenagai oleh unit processing grafis sendiri.

"Penggunaan panel OLED akan memberi keuntungan lebih dibandingkan perangkat layar biasa, mengingat panel OLED tidak memerlukan backlight untuk berfungsi dan bisa lebih tipis serta ringan dibandingkan panel display backlit," demikian bunyi informasi yang tertera pada paten aplikasi tersebut.

Selain informasi ini, AppleInsider juga menemukan paten aplikasi lainnya yang mengindikasikan perusahaan milik Steve Jobs tersebut tertarik dalam merancang tablet portable yang dikontrol gerakan dengan display e-ink. Perangkat ini secara spesifik akan digunakan untuk membaca dan berinteraksi dengan konten digital.

Google Agak Telat Masuk Indonesia

Google Agak Telat Masuk Indonesia

Jakarta - Google mengaku serius untuk mengembangkan bisnisnya dan membuka kantor di Indonesia. Namun kedatangan Google yang baru sekarang dianggap agak telat.

"Sebetulnya sudah agak terlambat kalau melihat Indonesia yang ukurannya sangat besar, pengguna internet yang begitu tinggi, dan sudah ada penetrasi mobile phone yang luar biasa. Dan sekarang kan service-nya digital economy serta semakin bergeser ke arah mobile dan smart phone, jadi memang sudah waktunya," tukas Jubir Wakil Presiden RI, Yopie Hidayat.

Menurutnya, yang akan dikembangkan Google di Indonesia terkait platform untuk mengembangkan kerja sama dengan industri UKM. Jadi buat Google itu sangat penting, karena mereka akan berperan sebagai 'perantara', perusahaan iklan maupun marketing yang akan membantu partner-partner Google di Indonesia ini untuk mengakses pasar global.

"Ini model yang seperti mereka pakai di China. Jadi di China itu dia (Google-red.) banyak sekali mengakses perusahaan-perusahaan kecil, menyediakan platform, dan kemudian menghubungkan perusahaan-perusahaan itu dengan pembeli-pembeli di seluruh dunia," jelas Yopie.

"Nah, dengan itu Google melihat potensi Indonesia luar biasa. Sekarang mereka sedang berembuk dengan Menkominfo, karena mereka ingin tandatangani semacam MoU dengan pemerintah Indonesia sehingga nanti akan jadi dasar pembukaan bisnisnya di sini," lanjutnya.

Kedatangan Google ke Indonesia sendiri diawali dengan kunjungannya ke Wakil Presiden Boediono. "Mereka tidak datang diam-diam, tapi tadi menyatakan ingin datang terbuka, jujur, mengobrol dengan pemerintah mengenai apa yang bisa didukung," tukas Yopie.

Google sendiri belum menyebut kapan bakal membuka kantornya di Indonesia. Namun idealnya di kisaran tahun 2012.

"Mereka belum tahu di mana (akan membuka kantor). Tapi mungkin di Jakarta. Titipan pesan dari Google adalah ekonomi Indonesia diyakini akan sangat cepat tumbuh apabila konektivitas (digital connectivity) semua terhubung," kata Yopie.

"Itu membuat transaksi efisien, informasi lebih cepat, arus perdagangan lebih cepat. Dia yakin di situlah Google dapat berperan," pungkasnya.

Wapres Boediono sendiri pada dasarnya menyambut baik rencana dari Google. Beliau bercita-cita ingin membuat sistem maupun kehidupan yang lebih baik bagi generasi mendatang. Tentu saja dengan pertumbuhan teknologi yang luar biasa ini, sistem harus mengikuti perkembangan.

"Tentu saja pemerintah ingin sekali memperbaiki situasi itu dan adanya Google membuka peluang untuk memperbaiki itu," Yopie menandaskan.

Baidu’s new browser seems oddly reminiscent

By the looks of things the folks over at Google.inc wont be too happy about Baidu’s latest browser offering. Let’s just say it looks an awful lot like a browser we’ve seen before. *cough*Chrome*cough*

This new browser from Baidu is said to bring a “sleek, stripped down interface” and most probably took a leaf out of Google’s chromium handbook. But if the aesthetic similarities don’t get to you Engadget is also reporting that it has an app store, fast tab functionality and even a menu icon placed in a familiar location. What sets them apart is they claim to have over 30,000 apps in addition to china specific entertainment features.

Menkominfo: Google Mau Buka Kantor di Indonesia

Jakarta - Kedatangan Chairman Executive Google Eric Schmidt ke Indonesia ingin membahas ekspansi bisnis raksasa internet itu di Tanah Air. Selain bertemu dengan Wakil Presiden Boediono, Eric pun berdiskusi dengan Menteri Komunikasi dan Informatika Tifatul Sembiring dan membahas soal rencana membuka kantor di Indonesia.

"Google melihat perkembangan ekonomi yang bagus dan pengguna internet di Indonesia. Kami pun melihat bahwa pengguna Google juga besar di Indonesia," kata Tifatul, saat ditemui wartawan di Istana Presiden RI, Jumat (22/7/2011).

Disebutkannya, saat ini pengguna internet di Indonesia sangat besar. Pengguna Facebook misalnya, mencapai 36 juta orang, ini yang terbesar kedua di dunia. Itu sebabnya, Google pun menyediakan mesin pencariannya dalam versi bahasa Indonesia.

"Mereka berencana akan membuka kantor dan menambah investasi mereka di Indonesia. Sekarang Google sudah menginvestasikan sebesar USD 57,5 miliar. Yah, mereka akan menambah itu," lanjut Tifatul.

Namun dia belum memastikan bahwa pendirian kantor Google di Indonesia tahun ini. Yang jelas, Google dan pemerintah Indonesia telah sepakat membuat MoU yang salah satu isinya adalah membantu Usaha Kecil Menengah (UKM).

"Yah, mereka akan segera. Tadi juga hadir Menteri Koperasi, kita ada kerja sama, akan ada creative content di bidang software, memasarkan UKM ini ke dunia luar juga kerja sama di bidang computer security," terangnya.

Ketemu Wapres, Eric Schmidt Bahas Ekspansi Google di Indonesia

Ketemu Wapres, Eric Schmidt Bahas Ekspansi Google di Indonesia

Jakarta - Kedatangan Chairman Executive Google Eric Schmidt ke Istana Wakil Presiden RI rupanya untuk membicarakan soal peluang ekspansi bisnis sang raksasa internet itu di Tanah Air.

"Jadi tadi kami baru saja bertemu dengan Wapres Boediono dan ia menyambut dengan hangat. Intinya kami tengah mencari peluang tentang bagaimana untuk melebarkan bisnis kami di Indonesia," ujar Eric, ketika ditemui wartawan di Istana Wapres, Jalan Merdeka Selatan, Jakarta, Jumat (22/7/2011).

Menurut mantan CEO Google tersebut, penetrasi internet di Indonesia begitu menjanjikan, termasuk untuk urusan pengguna perangkat genggam yang begitu pesat.

"Google sangat dimanfaatkan di Indonesia. Jadi akan lebih baik jika dapat menjalankan bisnis kami di sini (Indonesia-red.)," tukas Eric.

Lalu kapan Google akan memulai ekspansinya di Indonesia? "Kami masih melakukan diskusi dengan pemerintah Indonesia. Saya tidak mau memberi target waktu karena kami masih dalam perbincaraan dengan pemerintah," kilahnya.

Namun setidaknya, pertemuan dengan Wapres Boediono hari ini, Jumat (22/7/2011), memunculkan harapan yang pantas digantungkan untuk kelanjutan bisnis Google ke depannya di Indonesia.

"Saya sangat optimistis," pungkas Eric.

Sebelumnya, kedatangan petinggi Google itu ke Istana Wapres RI sempat menarik perhatian lantaran kendaraan yang ditumpanginya merupakan sebuah taksi.

Memang, taksi yang disewanya merupakan kelas premium, yang Silver Bird Alphard bernomor polisi B 1061 SUA. Namun tetap saja menjadi hal unik ketika ada kendaraan umum yang memasuki wilayah Istana Wapres dan ditumpangi oleh bos perusahaan sebesar Google.

Pantauan detikINET, Eric yang mengenakan pakaian batik coklat tampak ditemani dua orang asing lainnya.

More knowledge 'stolen' for the good of science

By Nidhi Subbaraman

After an Internet activist was indicted on Tuesday for bulk-downloading academic papers, an apparent ally has made 18,592 other papers from the same archive available for anyone to download. a

Open access rebel Aaron Swartz allegedly used guest networks at MIT for a mass download of 4.8 million documents from JSTOR, an academic database.a

Seemingly in solidarity with Swartz, someone called Gregory Maxwell has uploaded to 33 GB of journal articles, also obtained from JSTOR, to peer-to-peer file-sharing hub Pirate Bay, GigaOm is reporting. a

Maxwell obtained the articles many years ago, "through rather boring and lawful means," he writes in his Pirate Bay statement. It seems Maxwell's sharing is potentially boring and lawful too: the articles were published before 1923 and are no longer bound by copyright. Maxwell writes: a

The documents are part of the shared heritage of all mankind, and are rightfully in the public domain, but they are not available freely. Instead the articles are available at $19 each — for one month's viewing, by one person, on one computer. It's a steal. From you.a

(This may or may not be the case for Swartz's trove — nobody knows what was in it, or if it was still bound by copyright law.)a

Maxwell and Swartz are among many who are discontent with the current mode of online science publishing. In most instances, neither authors nor peer reviewers are paid for their work, which is filed away by the journal or databases like JSTOR, resulting in what Maxwell calls "some of the most outrageously expensive pieces of literature you can buy." a

Back when journals were printed on paper, higher fees made some sense. But in the digital age, the argument goes, such information should be cheap, or even free. a

Maxwell first considered posting his stash of documents on a public site like Wikipedia, but such a move would have ticked off publishers. Anonymously posting them didn't seem the way to go either — Maxwell feared the legal system would incorrectly pin that action onto Swartz as well. "This didn't sit well with my conscience, and I generally believe that anything worth doing is worth attaching your name to," Maxwell writes.a

And so, for the sake of science and mankind, Maxwell made his trove of academic papers public. a

The liberal dissemination of knowledge is essential to scientific inquiry. More than in any other area, the application of restrictive copyright is inappropriate for academic works: there is no sticky question of how to pay authors or reviewers, as the publishers are already not paying them. And unlike 'mere' works of entertainment, liberal access to scientific work impacts the well-being of all mankind. Our continued survival may even depend on it.a

Maxwell told Ars Technica that he is a "hobbyist scientist" and regularly uses scientific papers in his line of work. a

JSTOR's response to the Swartz indictment has been muted, and the digital library has distanced itself from the issue. JSTOR published a press release clarifying that it was "the government's decision whether to prosecute [Swartz], not JSTOR's." When JSTOR became aware of Swartz's mass download, they contacted him and secured the documents. They didn't press charges once they had "received confirmation that the content was not and would not be used, copied, transferred or distributed."  a

The charges leveled against the open access crusader are associated with his having hacked into the MIT network, and subsequently shutting down JSTOR access to people on the MIT campus. a

Anggota DPR Dukung Berantas Situs Musik Ilegal

Anggota DPR Dukung Berantas Situs Musik Ilegal

Jakarta - Anggota Komisi I DPR RI Tantowi Yahya, mendukung langkah komunitas dan asosiasi industri musik di Indonesia yang meminta kepada Menkominfo Tifatul Sembiring untuk menutup 20 situs download musik ilegal.

"Permintaan penutupan situs musik ilegal ini merupakan permintaan lama dari teman-teman di industri musik. Saya punya hitung-hitungan kasar berapa kerugian mereka per tahun. Ada kurang lebih 20 juta download setiap bulannya," kata Tantowi kepada detikINET, Kamis (21/7/2011).

Menurut perhitungannya, jika tiap download dihargai Rp 2000 -- kalau di iTunes sekitar Rp 9000 per download, maka potensi revenue setiap bulannya adalah Rp 40 miliar. "‎​Itu baru dari satu website ilegal saja," keluh Tantowi.

‎"​Secara kasat mata ada puluhan illegal download saat ini, namun untuk mudahnya kita ambil saja 10 illegal website. Maka kerugian sudah Rp 400 miliar sebulan atau Rp 4,8 triliun setahun," paparnya lebih lanjut.

Kalau kita ambil rata-rata pajak pendapatan negara dari penjualan musik tersebut sebesar 20%, kata Tantowi, maka kerugian negara hanya dari pajak itu saja mencapai Rp 1 triliun setahun.

"Itu asumsi konservatif karena per download hanya kita hargai 1/5 dari harga iTunes dan jumlah illegal website hanya 10 saja," kata dia.

Ia pun mengambil contoh kasus situs Limewire yang pernah sangat populer di Indonesia. Situs itu dikenakan sanksi denda sebesar US$ 105 juta karena menyediakan fasilitas untuk download musik ilegal.

"Kalau Kemkominfo bisa menutup situs porno, logisnya mereka juga bisa menutup situs-situs musik itu," kata Tantowi yang mengaku memberikan dukungan penuh untuk pemberantasan musik ilegal ini.

Sebelumnya diberitakan, asosiasi musik seperti Asirindo, Prisindo, PAMMI, RMI, PAPPRI, ASIRI, APMINDO, Gaperindo, WAMI, dan KCI, bergabung melawan pembajakan musik digital dalam payung kampanye 'Heal Our Music'.

Lewat kampanye itu, Menkominfo Tifatul Sembiring didesak untuk sedikitnya menutup 20 situs yang dinilai memberikan fasilitas download lagu digital secara ilegal. Permintaan ini akan ditindaklanjuti oleh Kementerian Kominfo dengan mengadakan pertemuan lanjutan pada 27 Juli 2011 mendatang.

Samsung Goes To Best Buy To Sell the AT&T Nexus S

Samsung's Nexus S smartphone Relevant Products/Services is headed for its third major U.S. carrier on Sunday. But in an unusual move, the South Korean electronics giant is making the AT&T Relevant Products/Services-capable phone available through mega-retailer Best Buy rather than AT&T's stores.

The Google-branded, slab-style phone, which runs the latest version of its Android smartphone OS, 2.3, Gingerbread, and premiered in December, is already available through Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile. Best Buy has sold an unlocked version.

Not at AT&T Stores

Dallas-based Samsung Telecommunications America said the phone was "optimized for AT&T's network Relevant Products/Services" and it will allow AT&T customers "access to the latest and greatest Google applications and Android updates first."

Asked if AT&T will sell the phone, a spokesperson for Samsung, Jessica Redman, said the phone will only be available via Best Buy stores, Best Buy Mobile specialty stores, and on Best Buy's online store, which began taking pre-orders Thursday.

Best Buy's price is $99 with a two-year voice Relevant Products/Services and data Relevant Products/Services contract.

"I have to believe Samsung received a very good deal from Best Buy to get an exclusive deal to sell the device," said Kirk Parsons, a wireless Relevant Products/Services analyst for J.D. Power and Associates.

"It's not unheard of, but a rare occurrence that the OEM brand would go to a non-service carrier outlet to sell a specific device. Eventually AT&T will probably get a chance to sell the device in their retail outlets as well."

A spokesperson for AT&T did not respond to our request for comment in time for publication.

The Nexus S has a four-inch Super AMOLED screen with pinch-to-zoom capability and 480x800 resolution; a gyroscope sensor; a 1500mAh lithium-ion battery promising 6.5 hours of talk time; A one-gigahertz Hummingbird processor with multitasking; five-megapixel rear-facing and VGA front-facing cameras; 720x480 video Relevant Products/Services capture; 16GB of storage Relevant Products/Services; and a hot-spot mode for tethering Wi-Fi devices. It is also capable of making payments through the emerging technology of Near Field Communication.

The T-Mobile and AT&T versions run on 3G networks, but the Sprint edition accesses its WiMAX 4G service.

Clean Sweep?

The Nexus S is similar to Samsung's Galaxy series of phones available at all four major carriers. (A Galaxy refresh is due soon). A Verizon Wireless Nexus G would duplicate that feat for the Nexus S, but neither Verizon nor Samsung would comment on whether the device will be available on what is now the nation's largest mobile Relevant Products/Services network.

Google's first Nexus phone, the Nexus One, made by Taiwan-based HTC, was an experiment that began in January 2010, to see if the search giant could sell the device without a carrier through its online store, originally with service by T-Mobile and later AT&T. But the company ceased online sales of the device in July after only a few months.

Xboxa

By Todd Kenreck

The console also has a 320 GB hard drive, wireless headset and comes with "Kinect Star Wars" the game.

Android Tablet Sales Rise, But iPad Still Dominates

Android tablet Relevant Products/Services shipments picked up steam in the second quarter, with multiple vendors delivering 4.6 million units and collectively holding a 30.1 percent market share, according to Strategy Analytics. Global tablet shipments reached 15.1 million in the three months through June -- a dramatic rise from 3.5 million tablets shipped in the same quarter last year, the Boston-based research firm said.

Apple continued to lead the tablet market with a 61 percent share after shipping a record 9.3 million iPads, but multiple Android models distributed across multiple countries by vendors such as Samsung, Acer, ASUS and Motorola drove up the volume, noted Strategy Analytics Director Neil Mawston. "However, no Android vendor yet offers a blockbuster model to rival the iPad Relevant Products/Services," Mawston said Thursday. "And demand for many Android vendors' products remains patchy."

Through the efforts of partners such as Fujitsu, tablets based on Windows Relevant Products/Services 7 managed to capture five percent of the market in the quarter. Additionally, Research In Motion's QNX-based PlayBook managed to claim 3.3 percent of the market -- despite a lackluster launch and design issues, Mawston observed.

A Higher Competitive Bar

Google's Android 3.1 Honeycomb platform, which is optimized for tablets, takes Android a step closer to competing better with Apple in terms of user experience and developer friendliness, Mawston said.

"If tablet manufacturers can combine Honeycomb's improved usability with attractive hardware designs and well-stocked app stores, then Android should see robust demand this year," Mawston said. "However, Apple is not standing still, and the iPad 3 updates over the next few quarters are likely to raise the competitive bar even higher."

According to IDC, Android held a 26 percent share of the tablet market in the fourth quarter of 2010 due to a heavy ramp-up, and Android's share in the first quarter of 2011 amounted to 34.4 percent -- relative to Apple's seasonal, production and product transitions in the first three months of the year, noted Vice President Loren Loverde.

"Android is expected to be at 27 percent in the second quarter -- and likely to be between [27 to 34.4 percent] in the second half of 2011," Loverde said Thursday. "That would represent some incremental growth from the fourth quarter of 2010, and we expect some gradual gains thereafter -- which will be highly dependent on new products launched from competitors."

Look Out, Facebook! Google+ Hits 18 Million Users

Could Facebook go the way of MySpace? A new report indicates that Google+, the new social Relevant Products/Services-networking site from the search giant, has acquired about 18 million users in its first three weeks -- a growth rate that could make it a major competitor to the world's largest social-networking site.

That number could be particularly troublesome because of two additional factors. First, Google+ is still in an "invitation only" beta phase, meaning people are actively spreading the invitation around.

The other is a recent survey of customer Relevant Products/Services satisfaction, the 2011 American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) E-Business Report, which found that Facebook has the lowest customer-score of any of the companies measured in the report. Google had one of the highest.

'Surname Model'

The figure of 18 million comes from Paul Allen -- not the Microsoft cofounder, but a statistician who helped found Ancestry.com. Allen reported on his Google+ profile that his "surname model" indicates more than 750,000 people joined the service on Monday alone, bringing the user base so far to slightly under 18 million.

He said his analysis showed there were two days over the last week when more than two million users joined Google+ each day. That would have led to a user population of 20 million, Allen wrote, but there were four days following the single-day record when "only" 948,000 users joined.

Allen pointed out that all this growth is without any real marketing of Google+. Google reaches more than a billion people worldwide through its other properties, including its popular search engine. Allen predicted that, once Google leverages its marketing muscle, the social-networking service is likely to see millions of users joining every day.

Allen admitted his methodology could be flawed to some degree, since he's not measuring log files or using large surveys. Instead, he said, he's "measuring how many Google+ users are of various randomly selected surnames every day."

'Looking Over Its Shoulder'

He uses two sample sizes, one of 100 surnames and the other of 1,000, and set the growth rate -- virtually identical over a four-day period -- at about 28 percent. As a check, Allen noted that Google CEO Larry Page announced on July 14 that Google+ had "over 10 million users." If the 10 million level was reached a day or two before that announcement, Allen said, his model may be "spot on."

Facebook, by contrast, is now approaching three-quarters of a billion users. But Brad Shimmin, an analyst with industry research firm Current Analysis, said Facebook "absolutely should be looking over its shoulder at Google+."

He noted that customer satisfaction on Facebook is relatively low, at least in part because of continuing issues about user privacy and data Relevant Products/Services security Relevant Products/Services. Shimmin also pointed out that it's relatively easy for users to move their social-network Relevant Products/Services connections to another site, which is "very dangerous for companies like Facebook."

Apple officially passes Nokia to become #1 Smartphone vendor

Financial Times is reporting that Apple has become the number one Smartphone vendor in the world with 20.3 million iPhones shipped in the second quarter.

On the other hand, Nokia shipped 16.7 million units, down 34% from their previous quarter. Keep in mind that Android devices probably sell more but there is no single manufacturer that is close to Apple- both HTC and Samsung ship about half as many Smartphones as Apple.

Google Tutup Google Labs

Google Tutup Google Labs

Jakarta - Raksasa internet Google menutup Google Labs, tempat dimana semua orang bisa melihat semua hal terbaru yang sedang dikembangkan di 'dapur' developer Google. Apa alasannya?

Disebutkan Google, perusahaannya berencana merampingkan upaya mereka. Dan setelah beberapa kegagalan yang mereka alami, seperti yang terjadi pada Google Buzz, Google ingin lebih fokus.

"Pekan lalu kami menjelaskan bahwa kami memprioritaskan upaya produk kami. Sebagai bagian dari proses tersebut, kami memutuskan untuk menutup Google Labs," tulis Bill Coughran, Senior Vice President untuk Research and Systems Infrastructure, dikutip detikINET dari The Inquirer, Kamis (21/7/2011).

Ditambahkannya, ketika Google mempelajari sejumlah produk dengan meluncurkan prototype di Google Labs, dalam waktu yang sama mereka seharusnya lebih fokus pada sesuatu yang lebih penting dan paling membuka kesempatan ke depannya.

Kampanye IPv6 Sambangi Yogyakarta

Kampanye IPv6 Sambangi Yogyakarta

Jakarta - Adopsi IPv6 dirasa sudah sangat mendesak, seiring stok IP address yang mengusung IPv4 tak akan lama lagi habis. Sosialisasi IPv6 ini pun terus digalakkan hingga Yogyakarta.

Menurut Gana Arditya Mulia, Kabid Humas APJII Yogyakarta, berbagai kelebihan IPv6 dibandingkan IPv4 menjadikannya layak diimplementasikan dan menjadi solusi untuk kebutuhan penggunaan internet ke depan. Tidak sekadar menyediakan kapasitas pengalamatan yang bertriliun kali lebih besar dari IPv4

Sosialisasi di Kota Gudeg ini digagas Asosiasi Penyelenggara Jasa Internet Indonesia DIY (APJII DIY) bekerjasama dengan APJII pusat dan Asia Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC).

APNIC adalah institusi yang menangani parameter protokol internet, seperti ruang alamat IP, dan Domain Name System (DNS) di kawasan Asia Pacific dan Australia yang berkantor di South Brisbane, Australia.

"APNIC merupakan bagian dari IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) yang merupakan Institusi tertinggi dalam mengurusi masalah pengelolaan protokol internet, seperti ruang alamat IP, dan Domain Name System (DNS)," jelasnya, dalam keterangan tertulis, Kamis (21/7/2011).

IANA memiliki otoritas untuk menunjuk organisasi lainnya untuk memberikan blok alamat IP spesifik kepada pengguna Internet seluruh Dunia dan untuk meregistrasikan nama domain, sehingga IANA memberikan tanggungjawab dalam pengaturan ruang alamat IP dan DNS selain APNIC kepada Institusi lainnya yang bersifat regional.

Seperti American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), yang menangani wilayah Amerika Utara, Amerika Selatan, dan Afrika bagian Selatan (sub-Sahara), serta Reeseaux IP Européens (RIPE), yang menangani wilayah Eropa dan Afrika bagian utara (Sahara).

"Kegiatan workshop yang diadakan di Yogyakarta ini berskala International, biasanya diselenggarakan di basis kantor APNIC Australia dan ibukota-ibukota lain di negara Asia Pacifik," imbuh Gana.

Segmen workshop yang digelar pada 22-24 Juli ini ditujukan kepada para operator Penyelenggara Jasa Internet di Indonesia (PJI), karena seluruh PJI di Indonesia harus bersiap untuk segera mengimpelemtasikan IPv6 ini.

Jumlah peserta adalah terbatas hanya untuk 25 kursi, namun adanya beberapa permintaan kapasitas menjadi 40 kursi. Jumlah yang dibatasi ini karena saat pelatihan semua peserta akan online mengakses Internet ke Server APNIC di South Brisbane Australia, dan telah disediakan akses Internet sebesa 4 Mbps.

Materi workshop mencakup pelatihan konfigurasi IPv6 pada host komputer, serta membangun jaringan IPv6 dan skenario konfigurasi. Peserta akan berlatih secara online dengan server di Brisbane yang terkait dengan pengaturan IPv6 di dual-stack operasional IXP/ISP lingkungan serta transit IPv6.

Nokia Lebih Untung Bikin Ponsel Sederhana

Nokia Lebih Untung Bikin Ponsel Sederhana

Jakarta - Nokia dikatakan lebih bisa meraup untung dari ponsel sederhana daripada smartphone. Meskipun kedua lini produk itu memang sedang digerogoti rival mereka.

Seperti dikutip detikINET dari Reuters, Kamis (21/7/2011), laba operasional Nokia lebih besar dari ponsel sederhana daripada smartphone.

Margin dari kedua bisnis itu memang sedang mengalami penyusutan. Ponsel sederhana Nokia harus berhadapan dengan produsen Asia, terutama China, sedangkan di sisi smartphone rival seperti HTC, Samsung dan Apple menggelora.

Margin keuntungan Nokia dari smartphone dikatakan turun menjadi 6.2 persen di kuartal pertama dari 10.4 persen di tahun sebelumnya. Sedangkan ponsel sederhana, turun dari 19.4 ke 16.5 persen.

Sekadar pembanding, HTC telah melaporkan kenaikan margin laba operasional ke 15.8 persen di kuartal pertama. Kata kuncinya di sini adalah kenaikan.

"Nokia menghadapi merosotnya pasar smartphone dengan melakukan fokus pada harga tengah dan potongan harga, ini memiliki dampak langsung pada margin dan laba," kata analis IDC, Francisco Jeronimo.

Mr. Mouse android app, converts your phone into a mouse

There are tons of apps on the Android Market that allow you to control your computer’s mouse pointer from your Android device over WiFi using touch screen input. But this is the first app that in addition to the providing you with the conventional touch pad interface, allows you to move your computer’s mouse pointer by tilting or waving your device from side to side. The app employs your device’s camera to detect its motion.

The camera detects changes in the image, transmits said changes over a common WiFi network to a server application installed on your computer, which in turn causes the mouse pointer to move accordingly. The app is still in beta as of this writing and doesn’t seem to support a lot of devices. Also, the aforementioned Camera Mouse feature requires quite a bit of processing power, so you might experience considerable lag (between the motion of your device and the response of your computer’s mouse pointer) on most if not all devices. One part of software installs on PC to receive the data and translate it to mouse movement, and the app installs on phone to transmit this data. There are onscreen left and right click buttons as well as a scroll wheel in the app to use.

Get the app @ XDA Developers
