71 percent assessed smartphone users never use the features that are available. Users simply use their smartphones to make calls, sms, messaging and check up.

In fact, there are many smartphone capabilities that can be explored again by the user. Call for banking purposes, or order tickets online. Thus was launched Dailymail, Sunday (12/26/2010).

"Only 10 percent of smartphone functions are utilized by users," wrote Envirofone, a research firm that conducted the study.

The study, involving an estimated 2,000 users from the BlackBerry smartphone to the iPhone.

"Mobile phones have become status symbols newest visible but not fully used," said Jon Butler from Envirofone.

Though in future smartphones will be a tool for pemembayaran tickets, especially tickets transportation company A joint alliance Inside Secure and several technology companies in Europe also is developing a chip that can turn mobile phones into 'wallet'.

Apple reportedly has revised its sales target in the first quarter in 2011. During the quarter Apple confident of being able to sell approximately 21 million units. At least this statement which is claimed by a company supplies components for Apple's iPhone. The company supplies components based in Taiwan, said if the initial global shipments of iPhones in the quarter is expected only to reach 19 million units. Launched by Digitimes, Tuesday (12/28/2010), the first quarter will be focused on Apple's iPhone to spawn a network based on WCDMA. Of these devices Apple would estimate there are approximately 13 million to 15 million iPhone units sold WCDMA.

Then, continued the source, CDMA iPhone will also be found at short notice in the first quarter of next year in North America and Asia Pacific. The device is predicted to be sold approximately 5 million to 6 million units.

Although not yet announced, the company's iPhone component suppliers, who do not want to be named, forecast fourth-quarter iPhone shipments reached 15.5 million units. Thus, overall sales of the iPhone has reached 47 million units in just over one year in 2010.

Today, still according to the source, Foxconn has shared with Pegatron Technology to manufacture CDMA version of the iPhone, while for the WCDMA-based iPhone is still held by a single by Foxconn alone.

All major airports in the New York metropolitan area who are busy re-opened on Monday (27/12/2010), after a long day closed due to snow storm, said Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Airport (Airport) John F Kennedy International and La Guardia Airport in New York City, and Newark International Airport in New Jersey, was closed after snow storms accompanied by lightning and strong winds began to hit the entire region on Sunday (12/26/2010) . However, on Monday afternoon at around 19:30 local time (or Tuesday at 07.30 pm)-badara airport was reopened, said the FAA.

Millions of people who will return to work after the Christmas vacation or are traveling to New Year holidays were stranded and delayed by the storm.

The Government believes is ready to anticipate the potential increase in crude oil prices. In addition to the exchange rate, volatility of food and energy are also factors that have been taken into account the government in an effort to ensure inflation is maintained.

The government is also optimistic that it will not impact on expectations of economic growth in 2011. Minister Hatta Rajasa suggests that when met after a limited cabinet meeting at the Presidential Office of Economic Affairs, Jakarta, Monday (12/27/2010).

"We can not assume that the price of crude oil in 2011 will stay at 90 or 100 dollars per barrel for crude oil prices are very volatile. But we also certainly have a policy response if the price is on top of that," said Hatta.

Nevertheless, he asserted, the policy response if oil prices continue rising trend is not necessarily in the form of rising fuel prices in the country. According to Hatta, there is no government thinking in that direction. "We look at what kind of food prices, energy prices, too. There is a simulation, what its policy response," he said.

Anticipating the potential for higher oil prices, Hatta said the government prepares measures of supply and demand sides.

From the supply side, the government is fully committed to encouraging increased oil production. While on the demand side management conducted among others by limiting the use of subsidized fuel. "Supply we increase, the demand was not there so we manage waste. Do not if there is an increase was always talking like a panic, whether the increased auto fuel, baseball, we can manage it, "he said.

The government remains optimistic that oil and gas production target set at Budget 2011 970.000 barrels per day will be achieved. "We've had oil price of 140 dollars per barrel, but we still survive, even grow," he said.

Meanwhile, the state oil and gas trade balance in 2011 quite alarming. "Overall, the investment climate and our imports in 2010 remarkable because all of the above target. Growth is quite nice, balance of trade (trade balance) is also still good, positive, though, we are also concerned about the balance of trade in oil and gas sector. Because increasing consumption, imports increased, "said Hatta Rajasa.

Risk of increased imports

According to Hatta, to mitigate the risk of increased imports of oil products, the government sure will do two step policy.

First, increase the production of oil products in the country. This can be done with the addition of two projects in Indonesia. "Second, set the subsidized fuel consumption and make savings," he said.

Earlier, Finance Minister Agustin Martowardojo remind potential increase in world oil prices because any increase in Indonesia's crude oil price (ICP) of 1 U.S. dollar will lead to soaring fuel subsidy needs Rp 2.6 trillion.

If a weaker exchange rate of Rp 100 per U.S. dollar, will encourage an increase in fuel subsidies to Rp 2.4 trillion.

Executive Director of the Institute Priagung Reforminer Rahmanto mentioned, the increase in crude oil prices in international market by itself will increase the budget deficit because it would increase the budget of energy subsidies (both fuel and electricity subsidies.)

Reforminer calculations showed that every one dollar increase in crude oil prices above assumption of Indonesian crude oil price (ICP) 80 dollars per barrel would boost energy subsidy budget of Rp 3.1 trillion.

"While the revenue from oil sales only increased by Rp 2.6 trillion. If policy restrictions on subsidized fuel to be implemented, also will not help. There would be burdensome to the community because the price could pertamax Rp 8,900 per liter. The government should raise fuel USD 200-USD 300 per liter, "he said. (DAY / Oin)

Hmm,before New Year came, you want to change your bedroom colors, but you're confuse and wonder what colors that you must choose. Don't worry, here I will share the tips to find the right colors for your lovely bedroom! Lets check it out, guys...

1. Buy good quality paint, and usually more expensive. Paint quality usually have strict standards and clear guidance about how to use them. Often, it paints such as these have special programs (eg in cooperation with the magazine to issue a blend of colors) that allows us to choose the color as desired. Even more color choices.

2. Preparation, this is the main factor of success a perfect painting. Often a lack of preparation makes us lose a lot. Placement of color on the wall for example, can be more precise if we have an image design or color scheme that has been prepared

3. Remove any items that are not necessary, such as nails or used insulation still attached to the wall. Painting can also be more perfect if the wall is flat, then close the hole or coakan with putty or with cement to dry before painting.

4. If the room has two different colors, use insulation to cover the tools on the boundary color. Isolation makes the connection more flat colors and look beautiful Remove isolation after the paint dried.

5. Paint the walls using rollers. Use paint with a roller pattern like the letter "W'S", or "M'S". Always do the painting from the wall that has been dried to prevent the roller pattern is left on the wall.

Happy working! And make the lovely bedroom for your New Year!

This is Christmas night
A night full of joy, love and happiness
I
I am
Watching the sky in darkness
I'm not a Christ, can i wish a gift too from Santa?
Can Santa hear my wish?
I don't wish a big gift
Only
A simple gift, meet with someone...
Even love is wasting time,
Even write this, is more exhausted,
I try share anything,
I walk here and there,
Look you that far apart
Separated by time, space around us...
I will never stop wishing...

In its publication in the journal Nature, on Tuesday (12/21/2010), a team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI EVA), led by Svante Paabo concluded that the fossils of early humans found in Siberia is a new species. They confirmed the differences with other early humans after successfully analyze 70 percent of nuclear DNA and finger bone fossil found in Denisova Cave.

Not only reveals the fact that humans now have a "brother" new, experimental studies have revealed another startling fact. Denisovans, the new types of early humans were, in fact he had crossed the globe to Asia and perform marriage with modern human activities in the area of Melanesia that had been spread in Papua New Guinea and some other Pacific region.

It was known after the researchers compared the DNA Denisovans with modern humans. The researchers say as many as 4-6 percent of the Melanesian people have the same DNA with DNA Denisovans. "We think this is a mistake at first, but this was real," said David Reich of Harvard University who was involved in this research.

With these results, Melanesian people said to have ancient genetic material from two early humans, Neanderthals and Denisovans. Previously, there has been research which revealed that all non-African humans have DNA from Neanderthals, Neanderthals consequences of the spread of population in the past.

Scenario the scientists say, Neanderthals and Denisovans derived from a common ancestor in Africa. Once separate but before spreading to Asia and Europe, Neanderthals interact and mate with modern humans. As a result, all non-African modern humans have genetic material from the Neanderthals.

Meanwhile, Denisovans spread to the east after the split into its own species. They met with a group of modern humans that move toward Melanesia approximately 45,000 years ago. Finally, the two kinds of people that also interact and mate, producing a combination of both genetic material that is now detected in this study.

However, the researchers did not state that Denisovans spread through Melanesia. "What we are saying is, Denisovans mating with Melanesian ancestors. Then, the population of Melanesia who are married fathers with Denisovans it moves toward Melanesia and Papua New Guinea," says Bence Viola, one anthropologist of the MPI EVA.

Reich's opinion, the interaction between modern humans Denisovans and perhaps more than expected. "They must have spread widely in Asia," said Reich. Population genetics research on the people of Asia Minor, according to Reich, can give clues about the distribution and interaction Denisovans.

Rick Potts, a scientist from the Smithsonian Institution who was not involved the research, said the study results may not refer to the genetic mix Denisovans and modern humans. According to him, it could be that there is genetic material in people Melanesia is an ancient genetic material is maintained and is lost in other human populations.

However, Potts has no other explanation of this phenomenon. He simply said, "I am very impressed with this publication. The article could take us far away and ponder. And, this is the result of good science."

Who was the first to create a Christmas tree decorated with beautiful lights? He is Edward Hibberd Johnson, co-Thomas Alva Edison who had worked at the Edison Electric Light Company.

Johnson created a Christmas tree is exactly 128 years ago, on December 22, 1882. He makes it by wrapping the 80 light bulbs in red, white, and blue that have been strung together with wire on pine trees.

The result of Johnson's creation was first displayed at his home in the area of Fifth Avenue, New York, United States. Newspapers Detroit Post and Tribune reported the results of these creations. And now Johnson is known as the "Father of lighted Christmas Tree"

Johnson was born on January 4, 1846 and died on September 9, 1917. He is the inventor and business associate Thomas Alva Edison, and has been involved in the management of an organization that has evolved into General Electric.

Christmas Tree Growth

Since the findings of Johnson, the use of lighted Christmas trees growing. 1895, U.S. President Grover Cleveland began to use lights to decorate Christmas trees are placed in the White House.

Near the end of the 1800s, General Electric offers a little light bulb that should not bother strung together to be used. I was so busy, people had to rent a wireman for merangkainya.

1900, large stores in the United States began to display a Christmas tree decorated with lights to attract consumers. Among high-end began carrying a party of high-cost Christmas tree. Christmas trees are worth approximately U.S. $ 2,000 or about 19 million rupiah.

Well, in 1903, The American Eveready Co. issued a series of editions of Christmas lights that are ready to be installed. Each light bulb has been fitted the screws and his Christmas tree also has a direct outlet can plug electricity.

From Candles to Electric

Before the findings of Edward Johnson, people actually have to use candles to light the Christmas tree. Wax is attached to the tip of the tree with a pin or wax. Its use is highly prone to fire.

The existence of the tragedy of fire due to the use of candles on Christmas trees in 1917 to make a 15-year-old teenager named Albert Saddaca moved. He told his parents, better use of lights for Christmas decorations.

After using it, Saddaca family started a business selling a series of Christmas lights. Not so smooth initially because only sold 100 units a year. However, after the family had to modify it with a light color, the sales increased.

The community began to bloom using lighted Christmas trees. If previously the new society lit Christmas tree the day before for fear of fire, now people have started to turn it in early December.

Now, the Christmas tree became increasingly grandiose. Entering the month of December, every mall race featuring the best Christmas decorations, including Christmas trees are sometimes huge.

Speciality in Nanotechnology at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, make new breakthroughs. They created a Christmas card which is claimed as the world's smallest Christmas card, which as many as 8276 cards can be affixed to a stamp-sized paper.
The manufacturing process is very fast and instant. In addition, can also be done repeatedly.
- David Cumming

Professor David Cumming and Dr. Qin Chen a Christmas card from superkecil glass crystal material which has a carved image topped Christmas tree. Scientists said the production of Christmas cards that only takes 30 minutes.

"Manufacturing process is very fast and instant. In addition, can also be done repeatedly. What takes longer is the process of designing a Christmas tree picture," said Cumming.

Christmas card has a size of the smallest width of 200 micrometers and 290 micrometers thick. The size is approximately one tenth of a human hair thick. A total of 500,000 Christmas cards that smallest be arranged on A5 paper.

Colorful Christmas card this superkecil made by a process called plasmon resonance, which uses a patterned aluminum film production of James Watt Nanofabrication Centre.

However, despite a mini Christmas card this is just a demonstration, the technology it uses so real. Through this Christmas card-making, scientists want to communicate just how influential nanotechnology today.

"Our Nanotechnology is one of the best in the world. However, sometimes it's hard to explain to the public. We then decided to make this Christmas card just shows how accurate this technology," said Cumming.

Because of the accident, Elise Lutz should lose his right ear were destroyed. 14-year-old girl is now happy with her new ears that look a lot like the previous ear.

Elise who was not fatherless and motherless was adopted when she was nine years by Kim Williams and her husband from North Carolina.

Both adoptive parents are trying to find a plastic surgeon at The Anaplastology Clinic in Durham and Duke University Medical Center. And they offer a Prosthetic ear for 6500 pounds sterling made of flexible silicone and is very similar to human skin.

"It will be mounted on forever, but really worth it. I'm very excited, therefore 100 percent happy," said Elise.

Dr. Jerry Schoendorf from Durham Clinic who also is part of a team that handles Elise says, "People who have implants either ear or nose usually will think that the object was indeed part of his body."

At least the ears are made of silicone rubber mixed with acrylic would be lasting up to six years. And before it is damaged, can be removed to be replaced new.

No one knows how it happened until right ear Elise damaged by pouring hot water. The doctors thought he might be hot water washed down from the top of the head until the water melts into the right side.

What is clear, thanks to the hard work of Dr. Schoendorf and Dr. McClennen that make ear molds that last June, and the efforts of Dr. David Kaylie who installed the titanium in the skull as an anchor ear a few months earlier, Elise ear can return.

Steve Jobs? I think I've heard that name before...
ahh, Founder and CEO Apple. The company which made iPhone, iPad.. Wonderful gadget!

Who would know the name of Steve Jobs, founder and CEO of Apple? Because of the size names, and even a doll figure was sold on online auction eBay to thousands of U.S. dollars.

In an auction, Steve Jobs doll figure exceeded the figure of 2500 U.S. dollars, or more than USD 22 million. In fact, MIC Gadget, the company that makes dolls limited edition of 300 pieces since it opened last November prices start at 99 U.S. dollars.

Sales of the doll figure Steve Jobs apparently done without permission from Apple so that the law firm was also cautioned for MIC Gadget stop it. eBay was immediately shut down some figure doll auction bids by reason of breaking the law. However, it does not mean the doll figure Steve Jobs is not for sale. In fact, the more the search since banned.

This year, Steve Jobs has become a star. Apple iPad is a product innovation that became mecca of other technology companies in developing a tablet device. Bestowed MarketWatch CEO of the Decade. Following that, the Financial Times called it figures in 2010. In fact, President Barack Obama called Steve Jobs as one model for the American people.

Fried fish? hmm, yummy... I love this food ^^
But, who knows there is a risk from eating that food?

In elementary school, we were taught to eat healthy food with 5 perfect menu 4 including meat (fish or chicken). However, when the fried fish, whether including healthy food, too? Check this out ...

The answer is no! At least according to a study to see the link between fish consumption and stroke. Surveys conducted in the area called "stroke belt" in America, namely Carolina, Arkansas and Louisiana, because of the high stroke patients in this area, found the majority of the population regularly eat fish, but processed by frying.

Strokes caused by blood vessels that supply nutrients to the brain are blocked due to blockages in blood vessels. As a result, nerve cells that need oxygen to die. All factors that increase the risk of heart disease, such as hypertension and high cholesterol, can also cause a stroke.

According to the study, 32 percent of the population in the region "stroke belt" eating fried fish twice a week, even more, than residents in other areas.

Dr.Fadi Nahab, director of the stroke program at Emory University Hospital, said frying will cause a stroke prevention benefits of fish go missing.

A study conducted in Spain found that when fried in unsaturated fatty acid content of omega-3 found in fish will disappear and be replaced by fat are not healthy. This was mainly on deep-sea fish such as salmon. In other species of fish, a decrease of omega-3 that occur are not as many fish in the sea.

"Eating fish is not enough. Of particular interest isway of of processing , "saidNahab . Instead of being fried, he suggested the fish steamed, baked, or made soup.

I'm not a perfect girl
My hair doesn't always stay at the place and I spill all things a lot
I'm pretty clumsy and sometimes I have a broken heart
I and my friends sometimes fight and maybe some days nothing goes right
but, when I think about it,
I step back, I remember how amazing life truly and that is maybe, just maybe
I like being unperfect...

My wishes...
I asked for Strength,
And God gave me difficulties to make me strong
I asked for Wisdom,
And again, God gave me problems to solve
I asked for Properity,
God gave me brain and energy to work
I asked for Courage,
And God gave me danger to overcome
I asked for Love,
And God gave me troubled people to help
And last, I aske for Favors,
And God gave me opportunities
Then I know,
I received nothing I wanted,
But I received everything I needed...

Throughout life, you'll meet one person un-like any other
To that person, you can tell anything to,
You could be with them forever and never get bored,
And you could tell them the things that they won't judge you for
This prson is your soul-mate, lover and Best Friend,
Don't ever let them go!

On Monday, Foursquare released a completely overhauled version of its iPhone app with photos and comments. Today, those same features, along with two new home screen widgets, are being given to Android device owners.

The photos and comments features are meant to be an exact replica of those introduced earlier this week. Users can now upload photos during and after checkins, add photos to tips and venue pages, and leave comments on friends’ checkins.

The two new home screen widgets are exclusive to the Android (Android) version of the app. One allows faster checkins and the other highlights the most recent activity from friends.

Co-founder and CEO Denis Crowley has been teasing the new release and recruiting beta testers all week via Twitter (Twitter), a method that seems to be working out nicely. “Btw, crowdsourcing beta testing to Twitter (for Android release) is working out great. You['re] finding all sorts of weird edge cases = THANK YOU,” reads one of those tweets.

We’ve yet to toy around with the just-released Android version, but if the new features look and feel as slick as they do on iPhone, Foursquare (foursquare) users will not be disappointed. As for BlackBerry and webOS versions, those are slated for an early January 2011 release.
