Apple Bakal Memperkenalkan iPad Baru

Khabar-khabar angin di Internet mengatakan Apple akan melancarkan iPad baru pada 7 Mac nanti. Hari tersebut adalah jatuh pada hari Rabu, iaitu hari yang sama Apple memperkenalkan iPad 2 pada tahun 2011, malah Apple juga melancarkan iPad pertamanya pada hari Rabu 27 Januari 2010. Tarikh itu juga kena dengan ura-ura yang mengatakan Apple akan lancarkan tablet baru itu pada minggu pertama bulan Mac.

Ipad
Ipad-rumors
Kebanyakan pakar percaya iPad 3 akan didatangkan dengan ciri-ciri skrin resolusi tinggi (Retina) dan pemproses yang lebih laju (mungkin pemproses quad-core pertama Apple), serta juga penambahan memori dalaman. Tablet itu juga mungkin akan dipasarkan dengan harga bermula dari US$499 (RM1,515) dan ke atas. Mengikut ramalan oleh penganalis Wall Street, iPad 3 dijangka akan melonjakkan jualan tablet Apple kepada 11.3 juta untuk suku pertama, iaitu sehingga 140% daripada 4.7 juta unit yang syarikat itu jual dalam tempoh yang sama tahun lalu

What to expect in Apple's new iPad 

 

Apple perkenal tablet iPad  lebih murah?

TAIPEI 2 Mac - Apple Inc. dilapor bakal memperkenalkan komputer tablet iPad 2 yang lebih murah serta dua lagi model iPad 3 dalam satu majlis pelancaran pada minggu depan, jelas laman berita teknologi Taiwan.

Laman web DigiTimes yang beribu pejabat di Taiwan memetik satu sumber pembekal gajet itu sebagai berkata, Apple akan melancarkan dua model iPad 3 yang menawarkan kapasiti 16 gigabit (GB) dan 32 GB serta model iPad 2 dengan kapasiti 8 GB.

"Selain produk iPad 3, Apple juga akan memperkenalkan gajet iPad 2 kapasiti 8 GB dengan membenarkan tablet komputer peribadi (PC) itu menampung segmen berbeza dan melindunginya daripada tablet PC lain yang berasaskan program Windows 8," kata DigiTimes.

Jelas DigiTimes, dengan tempahan yang semakin banyak diterima, pengedaran iPad 3 pada suku pertama tahun ini dijangka meningkat dua kali ganda daripada anggaran asal.

Model iPad 3 yang akan dikeluarkan dijangka mempunyai panel skrin sebesar 9.7 inci definisi tinggi sepenuhnya QXGA dengan resolusi 2048x1536 (264dpi) serta dua lampu LED sebagai cahaya latar tablet tersebut.

Sementara itu, satu artikel berasingan di laman CNET menyatakan, gajet iPad 2 itu merupakan antara usaha Apple untuk mencabar tablet alternatif lain yang lebih murah dan popular seperti Amazon Kindle Fire atau Barnes & Noble Nook.

Katanya, Apple telah mengikut strategi sama pada tahun lalu apabila mereka mengeluarkan telefon pintar model iPhone 4S yang menawarkan kapasiti 8 GB pada harga AS$99 (RM296) dengan perjanjian selama dua tahun.

Telefon pintar iPhone 4 kapasiti 16 GB dan 32 GB dijual pada harga AS$199 (RM596) sebelum pengumuman itu dibuat.

"Dengan beberapa cabaran daripada tablet alternatif di pasaran, Apple terpaksa menawarkan iPad yang lebih murah kepada pembelinya.

"Jika syarikat itu mengikut model iPhone, mereka akan menawarkan gajet iPad 3 pada harga penuh dan gajet iPad 2 pada harga diskaun," ujarnya. - AGENSI

Use Facebook in varsities

201202223-usefacebookinvarsities

Social networking sites such as Facebook have become an integral tool in institutions of higher learning.

NST 23 February 2012, KUALA LUMPUR: Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Khaled Nordin has welcomed the trend of institutions of higher learning using social networks such as Facebook and Twitter for educational purposes.

 

"I believe that higher education should grow along with the latest developments in information technology in order to stay current with students. Social networks get the message across effectively and that is what matters most.

"Students usually respond faster to Facebook threads when compared with university portals. Hence, it is a good move."  

Khaled said institutions of higher learning  should look into using more interactive teaching methods, adding that communicating via social networks was a good start.

Universiti Sains Malaysia Associate Professor Mohd Kamarul Kabilan said the use of social media for educational purposes inculcated a more positive attitude towards learning.

He said his research  showed that 67.9 per cent of the students  interviewed said  they had gained confidence when communicating with their classmates as well as   their lecturers.

Kamarul said the question of whether the tool was useful or not depended on the lecturers and   students.

"Facebook's features such as the 'wall',  'notes'  and  'video uploads'  can be used for learning in the form of exchanging and sharing of ideas, thinking critically and encouraging collaboration."

International Islamic University Malaysia macroeconomics lecturer Riasat Amin said communicating with his students through the Internet had  a profound impact on the dynamics of his classroom.

"Social networks have definitely helped bridge the gap we had with my students. We connect better in class now."

 

Riasat explained that online platforms had made the teaching and learning process more interactive as students who were too shy to raise questions during class could express themselves online.

A survey conducted by Taylor's School of Communication found that students tend to respond better through Facebook compared with university online portals.

"When they use student portals, they feel like it is work.

"But communication through social media is a more relaxed process," said Taylor's Communication and Media Management programme director Catherine Lee Cheng Kiat.

She said 99 per cent of her students had Facebook accounts, hence the possibility of students being left out of online discussions was rare.

Students, in turn, have responded positively to this new method spearheaded by their lecturers.

Communications student Hoh May Kay, 22, said social networks had made it more convenient for her to follow course announcements and assignment updates.

She said she preferred chatting with her lecturers through Facebook as she could get an immediate response from them.

Mechanical engineering student Mohd Akram Mohd Yusof, 21, said social media could become an important tool for teachers to reach out to unresponsive students.

"We spend half our time on the Internet and by engaging students here, lecturers get to reach out to those who are beyond the barrier." By Nicholas Cheng and Kanyakumari Damodaran

SELAMAT MENYAMBUT MAULIDUR RASUL 1433H

Muhammad_rasullullah

Dikesempatan ini saya ingin  mengucapkan ''SELAMAT MENYAMBUT MAULIDUR RASUL 1433H'' kepada seluruh umat Muhammad S.A.W

Muhammad_rasullullah2

Maklumat Ringkas Nabi  Muhammad Rasulullah dari Wikiepedia

Muhammad bin Abdullāh (Arabمحمد بن عبد اللهTransliterasiMuḥammad;[1] dieja [mʊħɑmmæd] ( dengarkan)[2][3][4] (ca. 570/571 Mekkah[مَكَةَ ]/[ مَكَهْ ] – 8 Juni, 632 Medina),[5] adalah pembawa ajaran Islam, dan diyakini oleh umat Muslim sebagai nabi dan (Rasul) yang terakhir. Menurut sirah(biografi) yang tercatat tentang Muhammad, ia disebutkan lahir sekitar 20 April 570571, di Mekkah(Makkah) dan wafat pada 8 Juni 632 di Madinah pada usia 63 tahun. Kedua kota tersebut terletak di daerah Hejaz (Arab Saudi saat ini). Beliau haram digambarkan dalam bentuk patung ataupun gambar ilustrasi.

Michael H. Hart dalam bukunya The 100 menilai Muhammad sebagai tokoh paling berpengaruh sepanjang sejarah manusia. Menurut Hart, Muhammad adalah satu-satunya orang yang berhasil meraih keberhasilan luar biasa baik dalam hal spiritual maupun kemasyarakatan. Hart mencatat bahwa Muhammad mampu mengelola bangsa yang awalnya egoistis, barbar, terbelakang dan terpecah belah oleh sentimen kesukuan, menjadi bangsa yang maju dalam bidang ekonomi, kebudayaan dan kemiliteran dan bahkan sanggup mengalahkan pasukan Romawi yang saat itu merupakan kekuatan militer terdepan di dunia di dalam pertempuran.[6]

FACEBOOK WILL END ON MARCH 15th, 2012?

Hoax_or_fact_facebook

PALO ALTO, CA –Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March of 2012. Managing the site has become too stressful. 

“Facebook has gotten out of control,” said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”
Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th of next year, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts.  That gives users (and Facebook addicts) a year to adjust to life without Facebook.
Read full article here
Many such messages were spreading on Facebook and other online platforms that Facebook is going to shut down in March 2012. 

facebook ends in march 2012

Hoax or Fact:

It is not a fact, it is just a hoax, a rumor that went viral.

Analysis:
Facebook, the most popular social networks for professionals is claimed to be closing down in March this year. The reason stated was that the CEO, Mark Zuckerberg finds it hard to manage this popular social networking platform and he wanted to shut down and have life.

The fact however is that it is just a silly rumor that started as a result of mixture of two different news. The first one is Yahoo announcement that its service Yahoo Video will be closing down on March 15, 2011, and the second one is a CNN article in which the author states his personal view saying that the recent investment in Facebook could be the “beginning of the end” for this company. Facebook is not going to close any time soon. Even their homepage says that "It's free and always will be". Facebook denied these news as hoax rumors and responded to this on their Twitter account, saying that it is not a fact, and that they have just started. CNN confirms the same stating further reasons why Facebook cannot shut down in near future.

Facebook NOT shutting down March 15

(Mashable)-- There's a silly rumor exploding on the Internet this weekend, alleging that Facebook is shutting down on March 15 because CEO Mark Zuckerberg "wants his old life back," and desires to "put an end to all the madness."

We have official confirmation from Facebook Director of Corporate Communications Larry Yu that the rumor is false.

We asked him via e-mail if Facebook was shutting down on March 15, to which he responded, "The answer is no, so please help us put an end to this silliness."

He added, "We didn't get the memo about shutting down and there's lots to do, so we'll just keep cranking away like always."

Facebook Says It’s NOT Shutting Down March 15 [UPDATED]


There’s a silly rumor exploding on the Internet this weekend, alleging that Facebook is shutting down on March 15 because CEO Mark Zuckerberg “wants his old life back,” and desires to “put an end to all the madness.”

[UPDATE] We have official confirmation from Facebook Director of Corporate Communications Larry Yu that the rumor is false. We asked him via e-mail if Facebook was shutting down on March 15, to which he responded, “The answer is no, so please help us put an end to this silliness.” He added, “We didn’t get the memo about shutting down and there’s lots to do, so we’ll just keep cranking away like always.”

Let’s think about this for a minute. Would Facebook decide to shut down the company just a few days afterannouncing a round of funding, consisting of $450 million from Goldman Sachs and $50 million from Russian investment firm Digital Sky Technologies, on a valuation of $50 billion?

The spurious report was started by a site to which we refuse to link, known for its reports of impending attacks of alien spaceships and false reports of a Michelle Obama pregnancy.

The fact that this absurd hoax spread so efficiently makes us wonder: Will people believe anything?

New code of practice for Academic and Research Libraries

Code-of-best-practices-fair-use
http://www.arl.org/pp/ppcopyright/codefairuse/index.shtml
View/download the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use 

The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) recently released its own Code of Best Practice in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries.  Supported by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the code:

enhances the ability of librarians to rely on fair use by documenting the considered views of the library community about best practices in fair use, drawn from the actual practices and experience of the library community itself.

The Code was developed after a series of in-depth interviews with 65 librarians at academic and research institutions. It identifies the relevance of fair use in eight recurrent situations:

  • Supporting teaching and learning with access to library materials via digital technologies
  • Using selections from collection materials to publicize a library’s activities, or to create physical and virtual exhibitions
  • Digitizing to preserve at-risk items
  • Creating digital collections of archival and special collections materials
  • Reproducing material for use by disabled students, faculty, staff, and other appropriate users
  • Maintaining the integrity of works deposited in institutional repositories
  • Creating databases to facilitate non-consumptive research uses (including search)
  • Collecting material posted on the web and making it available

Most of these issues have relevance for the school library community as well.

This new code joins several others as part of a project of the School of Communication at American University Center for Social Media in Washington, DC, successfully serving to clarify how professionals might apply fair use to improve their practice using the tools of our time.

Existing codes include:

Patricia Aufderheide, University Professor in the School of Communication at American University and Director of the Center for Social Media notes

Librarians can now join other communities of practice that have designed such codes. They have been able to reduce market friction and meet mission with the confidence that they are acting within the best practices of their peers.

Download the code and follow #librarianscode on Twitter for further information.
