Sangat Menyebalkan
Saya paham bahwa pemasukan dari iklan merupakan salah satu pilar pendukung berlangsungnya kehidupan satu lembaga penerbitan pers. Tapi kalau seperti ini caranya sih mending saya baca dari tempat lain saja.
Sungguh tidak menyenangkan dan cenderung menyebalkan. Huh!
Seharusnya kan bisa dibuat, atau paling tidak dipikirkanlah, cara penyajian iklan yang lebih baik, yang lebih sopan.
Lha ini, baru mau membaca berita saja tiba-tiba mak byaaaarrrr… nongol iklan menuh-menuhin monitor.
Oalaaaah…

R.I.P.: My Thinkpad X61
The mighty Thinkpad X61 of mine is officially dead. Brute force of a growing toddler finally killed it.

This summer, only in theaters.

I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever…
…sebentar… sebentar… Lay like this forever?? Modar dong?

Still on Windows7
I have a confidence that Windows7 will fare better than its predecessor, the Windows Vista. I am no geek or techie or something like that. I just use my PC for everyday computing tasks such as typing, youtubing, facebooking, and a little bit of gaming. I can’t prescribe techie’s writing about Windows7. All that I know is that I am running it now, and so far, I am happy.
I am even happier to the fact that two of my additional peripherals that I added to my setup (the ThinkCentre A57 with Core2Quad Q6660) are already backed up with their respective Windows7 compliant drivers.
The first gadget that I add is the Logitech S-510 Wireless Keyboard + Mouse. I just downloaded the driver from the website. There was only the driver for Windows Vista. But I still downloaded it, installed it and WHAM! The SetPoint software (which is needed to tweak keyboard performance such as multimedia control, browser control and the most important thing: encrypting the RF connection between the keyboard and the receiver) was installed successfully, but couldn’t provide any of the enhancement it can provide in other version of Windows.
But a moment later, the SetPoint software reported that it found a kind of “updated” software from the Logitech website, and “download now” was selected. And voila, it turned out that the update provide all enhancement and gobbledygook for the keyboard and mouse.
BTW, I used to praise the quality any of Lenovo/IBM’s keyboard. But this time, the one that came with the ThinkCentre is an French/Belgium AZERTY one, which is a pain to type with. And it is a pain as well to find its US ENGLISH cousin. So I just ordered the Logitech S-510. It’s cheaper than the similar type that of Lenovo’s. I simply couldn’t afford it.
The second gadget I added was a 256MB nVidia Quadro 290. The Windows7 didn’t recognize the Quadro at first (soon after it was installed in the system). I just simply navigate to the nVidia’s website, and there already is a WHQL certified driver for the Quadro for Windows7. Amazing! So I downloaded the driver, installed it, and the Quadro is now working as it is supposed to be. The driver was released on 8 May 2009.
So, from such an experience, I am confident that Windows7 will fare better that Windows Vista, and will be on par (or even better) than Windows XP. But hey, it’s still a long way to go, I know. We’ll see.

As I have stated previously, I took the plunge by switching my business desktop to Windows7 Release Candidate. (Oh, it’s a brand new Thinkcentre A57 with Core2Quad 2.4 gigz, and 4GB or RAM, by the way). I mean, if I want to seriously beta-testing (or should it be release-candidating?), I should take it to another level, by implementing it for daily business activities, yes?
Thence, the Thinkcentre at my desk is now humming with Windows7 Ultimate RC.
Apart from the much improved appearance (it’s important aspect, in my opinion), Windows7 also offers simpler networking gizmos. For example, after finishing installation, I have to reconnect all my network drives and printers.
My Windows7-ly Thinkcentre found the server instantly after connected to the office’s network, and I just typed my login credentials and ticking an option (I can hardly remember the exact term) to store login credentials, and it reconnects automatically and seamlessly to the server each time it boots-up. Cool.
And for each drive and folder, there now this option called “Include in Library”, a kind of tool that adds all contents in a particular network drive without actually adding any files to local harddrives, and for faster operation, there is also this tool called “Always available offline.” Of course, for the ‘old-timer’ in us, there is still that option of mapping network drive. One can pick which one to use. No sweat.

I kinda got a sense that Windows7 is a kinda gas guzzler for the IT world. It eats up a lot of energy from your computer, be it a portable, or a desktop.
It feels quite faster, actually, which is a good thing in my opinion. But it comes with a price. The energy. It eats up energy twice the rate of Windows XP and approximately 150 percents more than Windows Vista does.
How did I measure this?
Well, my Thinkpad X61 lasts for six hours in Windows XP, or four and a half hours in Windows Vista, and it just lasts for only three or so hours in Windows7 RC. Those are for standard everyday computing, which mainly consists of browsing through a Draft N WiFi connection.
