Altec Lansing VS 2421

I am not an audiophile, I am just looking for a new replacement for my retired Harman Kardon 2.0 speaker. My choice is between this one and Logitech X240, because I want the 2.1 speaker to enrich the sub-sound. I choose this one over the logitech because I like how this one looks.

Basically I like this speaker so much to play the game like Doom 3, Half Life 2 and listen to the music. The sound from this speaker for me is really-really good compare to my old speaker. But I just realised that this speaker would gave me a noise sound if I browsing internet using my wireless adapter card. I also read from other website that this speaker is very sensitive to the radio frequency (RF), like handphone or your wireless system.

When I watching movie from youtube.com using my wireless adapter then the noise sound would came out and for me it is very annoying. If I open a website while listening to the music then the noise sound would also come out. But after finished loading the website then the noise sound will dissapeared.Why would some speaker from Altec Lansing could have a problem like this? I never have a problem like this before with my Logitech or Harman Kardon speaker.

I would not recommend this speaker to a people who have some radio frequency devices like cell phone or wireless adapter around their computer desk. Wireless adapter is OK as long as you are not using it for accessing internet or network while you are listening to the music. If your computer desk is free from the RF devices I would highly recommend this speaker, a bang for a buck!

Resensi Film Kungfu Panda

Hahahahahaha, ini film kartun kocak banget deh, terus adegan kungfunya juga seru lagi, ceritanya gak ribet kayak Bee The Movie, anak-anak kecil gampang ngerti nonton film ini, konfliknya simpel. Pengisi suaranya top2, ada Joe Black dan Angelina Jolie. Buruan nonton, gue aja mau nonton lagi.

Resensi Film The Incredible Hulk

Bagi penggemar film Marvel Comic sebaiknya jangan lewatkan film ini. Bagus. Walaupun bukan seri ke dua dari Hulk buatan Ang Lee yg dulu, tapi rasa-rasanya seperti menonton kelanjutannya dengan alur cerita yg enggak berat kayak Ang Lee. Film Hulk garapan Ang Lee yg dulu nuansa dilema psikologisnya lebih kental, beda dengan Hulk dengan pemeran utama Edward Norton yg satu ini, Hollywood banget, tapi masih asik kok dinikmati.

Resensi Film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Cerita mengenai perburuan harta karun sudah semakin banyak, terus kenapa tema film ini hampir2 mirip dgn National Treasure yah? Harison Ford udah ketuaan deh, gak pantes gebuk-gebukan berantem dan gelantungan di pohon lagi. Terus satu lagi yg gue males, kagak ada cewek cantik yg maen di film ini, males gak sihhh, gak ada yg enak dilihat. Gue gak rekomen film ini, datar-datar aja dan basi, adegan-adegan actionnya juga biasa aja, mending nonton National Treasure deh, ada cewek cantiknya lagi...heheheh

Adsense Indonesia?

Saya melihat saat ini banyak sekali website berbahasa Indonesia yang menggunakan fasilitas publisher adsensenya Google. Jelas-jelas google telah mengumumkan di websitenya bahwa bahasa Indonesia sampai saat ini belum di support untuk adsense dan hanya fungsi search boxnya saja yang mendukung adsense Indonesia. Tapi masih banyak saja yang menggunakannya. Terus terang saya gatel juga untuk memasang adsense di blog saya, tapi ada rasa ketir juga nantinya akan ketahuan Google dan account adsense saya di blokir. Coba klik disini untuk membaca bahasa yang di support oleh Adsense.

Jika memang tidak boleh kenapa iklan adsense sering memunculkan iklan berbahasa Indonesia, dan bahasanya juga sudah diterjemahkan, misalnya 'loading' sekarang diganti menjadi 'sedang mengambil' atau 'ads by google' diganti menjadi 'iklan oleh google'? Nah itu namanya Geo Targetting, artinya Google akan memunculkan iklan berdasarkan letak geografis keberadaan kita. Jika anda dari Indonesia, maka website secara otomatis akan memunculkan iklan-iklan berbahasa Indonesia, atau memunculkan pengiklan yg memang menargetkan market Indonesia. Jadi, bukannya Adsense untuk web bahasa Indonesia sudah di support, tapi memang itu salah satu fasilitas google adsense aja untuk mensupport advertiser.

Saya terus terang bingung, banyak website bahasa Indonesia yg menjelaskan tentang adsense, tapi sepertinya mereka menutup-nutupi masalah ini, yaitu, bahwa, website anda harus berbahasa yg di support oleh Google, dan bahasa Indonesia sampai saat ini belum di support untuk adsense, yang disupport hanya fungsi search box nya saja. Yah, mudah-mudahan di waktu mendatang google membolehkan adsense berbahasa Indonesia. Kalau tidak, yah selamat belajar menulis dengan Bahasa Inggris, atau bahasa lain yang di support oleh Google.

South East Asia Image

Just finished my new photo stock website South East Asia Image.
The site PHP component was made by some company at Singapore. The price is good, only US$75, with enough component and payment gateway. But after I had it installed, I found that the script was not so SEO friendly. Google has succesfully crawl my site, but somehow The title and the description is not capture perfectly with this script. Somehow google capture all the 'title' of my site as a South East Asia Image and the 'detail' as a price of the photo. Damn it, maybe I have to open the source again or maybe change the script with pure html only. Why pure HTML? Because, I have found some photo website that using pure html for their gallery photo and using php script for the payment gateway page. They are using this split technique because google spider will crawl their gallery photo website easily. This is also the reason why I could found their website from google. Because they are using this html thing!!!! Most of them are build from pure html. Oh well, maybe I have to rebuild my web site. Split my gallery site on html and the payment gateway on PHP. Should I?

Singcat Down

Sudah 1 minggu ini website gue yg hosting di singcat.com up and down, terakhir down terus, gue login ke trouble ticket gak bisa, gue coba fungsi lost my password katanya email gue gak ada di daftar, gue coba daftar baru pake email yg sama katanya email gue udah ada, jadi mesti gimana? Akhirnya gue create user baru untuk create trouble ticket, udah dikirim 3 kali gak ada jawaban.........mau telpon males, mahal gitu loh telepon dr malaysia. Ya udah gue mutusin kalau dalam 3 hari ini tidak ada perubahan gue pindahin aja deh semua hosting sama domain name gue dr singcat.com ini.

Invoice aja kalau gak gue tanya mereka lupa. Gue kan sempet nanya kapan mesti bayar lagi bayaran tahunanya, terus kata mereka gue udah telat 1 bulan belon bayar, jadi account gue di lock, ada pengumumannya langsung di website gue bahwa web gue ada masalah administratif, malu-malu in kan? Padahal siapa yg salah? Salah mereka kan kenapa gak ngirim invoice, emangnya gue sebagai konsumen inget apa mesti bayar kapan? Tagihan listrik, koran, air aja biasanya tiap bulan mampir, ini kagak ada tagihan sama sekali? Meneketehe......

Satu lagi yg penting, domain name gue ada di singcat juga, gue takutnya kalau domain gue tiba-tiba raib gimana? Perlakuan kepada clientnya aja kayak begini, gue gak heran kalau deh kalau nanti tiba-tiba domain gue hilang, dan mereka cuma bilang, meneketehe.....Itu juga masih untung kalu dijawab pertanyaan kita. Yah bener, mesti pindahin domain name gue buru-buru ke registrar yg lain. Kalau gak kacrut deh.

Gue nyesel juga pindah dari web hosting gue sebelumnya Indoglobal yg walaupun lebih mahal tapi memperlakukan kita sebagai konsumen lebih humanis dibanding singcat yg memperlakukan kita kayak anak kecil yg gak tau apa-apa. Indoglobal memang lebih mahal dikit, tapi supportnya oke dan downtimenya gak kayak singcat deh. Terima kasih banyak buat Singcat atas perlakuannya yg semena-mena terhadap client nya sendiri, semoga banyak client singcat yg mulai sadar diri dan segera membuat keputusan yg baik...........pindah hosting.
