'Instagrille' is Instagram for PC

A Windows application called Instagrille is bringing Instagram to your Windows computer. Able to do most of the same things you can do with the mobile version of the app –- except unfortunately upload photos — the free desktop app can be used to browse through photographs on the service, follow and unfollow other users, and leave and receive likes and comments on uploaded photos.

On Tuesday Instagram came out with its long-awaited Android app, and within 24 hours the app had more than 1 million downloads. Friday the company also added Android tablet and Wi-Fi handset support. Currently Instagram is only officially available as an Android and iOS app, however, another desktop called Carousel allows the service to be used on Macs (and allows you to upload photos from your desktop).

Instagrille was created by SweetLabs, a startup backed by Google and Intel that is working on Pokki, a platform that helps developers create connected apps on standard web languages such as HTML5. Currently there are more than 150 different apps in Pokki, including Instagrille. While currently only for Windows PCs, the company has plans to release Instagrille for Macs later this year.

Instagram hasn’t announced plans to work on its own desktop software, although if the company continues to grow, that might be something we see in the future. Instagram could also decide to purchase Instagrille, Carousel, or desktop apps like them and make them its own.

Nah, ini buat para pengguna Windows yang mau photo filter kayak instagram, sekarang ada apps. hampir sama kayak instagram yang buat Windows link download nya nih  Download LINK. Belum ada contoh fotonya sih, soalnya posting ini dibuat pas download :p

Adalah sebuah keuntungan buat Indonesia, Blackberry dibikin oleh perusahaan Kanada, jd disingkat-nya BB.
Coba klo dibikin oleh perusahaan Indonesia, namanya jadi Berry Hitam alias BH.

Agak gimana gitu ƍªќ sih klo punya Berry Hitam trus ditanya,
"loe pake BH ƍªќ ?" "pin BH loe brp?" "BH loe seri apa?" "BH loe touch screen yach?"

Lebih ngenes klo ada cewe γƍ jawab "sori, gue ƍªќ pake BH" "BH gue Qwerty" "BH gue ketinggalan di rumah" "BH gue lemot nih"

Apalagi klo lg dinner sama camer. ntar diprotes pacar : "Sayang, jgn main BH terus dong. kita kan lg makan. Taro ãĵǻ‎​ BH-nya di meja"

(MUST READ) Conversation between professor and his student

 

Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

Perbedaan bahasa Inggris British (British English) dan bahasa Inggris America (American English)

Tulisan ini dibuat menindaklanjuti komentar beberapa pembaca blog ini yang meminta pembahasan tentang perbedaan antara bahasa Inggris British (British English) dan bahasa Inggris Amerika (American English). Perbedaan kedua bahasa Inggris ini bisa ditinjau dari beberapa aspek dan sudah dibahas sangat lengkap dan mendetail dalam bahasa Inggris di tautan ini. Namun bagi rekan-rekan yang belum mampu menerjemahkannya berikut merupakan rangkuman tentang perbedaan British English dan American English.

Bahasa Inggris digunakan di banyak negara baik sebagai bahasa Ibu maupun sebagai bahasa ke-dua. Itulah sebabnya selain “bahasa Inggris” ada banyak “bahasa Inggris-bahasa Inggris” lain yang merupakan variasi dari bahasa tersebut. Dua versi bahasa Inggris yang paling umum digunakan adalah bahasa Inggris British dan bahasa Inggris Amerika.

Sebelum kita menilik beberapa perbedaan diantara kedua versi bahasa Inggris ini perlu ditekankan bahwa perbedaan-perbedaan ini cukup tipis dan seiring dengan internasionalisasi di era moderen sekarang ini perbedaan-perbedaan tersebut bahkan bisa dikatakan semakin berkurang.

Sedikit perbedaan yang terdapat antara bahasa Inggris British dan Inggris Amerika cenderung hanya memperkaya komunikasi dan tidak menimbulkan masalah ataupun kesulitan dalam berkomunikasi. Berikut perbedaan bahasa Inggris British dan Amerika ditinjau dari beberapa sudut pandang.

Ejaan (spelling)

Bahasa Inggris British cenderung mempertahankan ejaan banyak kata yang asalnya dari Perancis sedangkan Inggris Amerika mencoba untuk mengeja kata lebih mendekati cara mereka melafalkannya dan mereka menghilangkan huruf-huruf yang tidak diperlukan.

Berikut beberapa contohnya:

Bahasa Inggris British	Bahasa Inggris Amerika
centre theatre realise catalogue programme travelled neighbour grey plough to practise (verb) practice (noun) cheque	Center theater realize catalog program traveled neighbor gray plow to practice (verb) practice (verb) check (noun)

Pelafalan (pronunciation)

• Orang Amerika biasanya melafalkan huruf “r” dengan menggulung lidah mereka ke belakang dan merapatkannya ke langit-langit mulut sedangkan kebanyakan orang Inggris tidak melafalkan huruf “r” dalam kata, khususnya jika terdapat pada akhir kata.
• Dalam bahasa Inggris Amerika kata “can” dan “can’t” kedengaran sangat mirip sedangkan dalam bahasa inggris British Anda bisa membedakannya secara jelas.
• Orang Amerika cenderung melafalkan kata seperti “reduce”, “produce”, “induce”, “seduce” (kata-kata kerja yang berakhiran “duce”) dengan lebih rileks, yang berarti bahwa setelah huruf “d” mengikut bunyi/huruf “u”. Dalam bahasa Inggris British setelah huruf “d” ditambahkan “j”.
• Orang Amerika memiliki kecenderungan untuk mereduksi kata dengan menghilangkan beberapa huruf. Kata “facts” misalnya dalam bahasa inggris Amerika dilafalkan sama dengan kata “fax” - “t” tidak diucapkan.
• Kadang-kadang huruf dihilangkan dalam bahasa Inggris British seperti dalam kata “secretary”, dimana huruf “a” tidak diucapkan.
• Dalam bahasa Inggris Amerika, kombinasi huruf “cl” dalam kata seperti “cling”, “climat”, “club” dll, kedengaran lebih frikatif. Anda dapat menghasilkan bunyi ini dengan menegangkan pita suara.

Penekanan kata terkadang juga berbeda. Contoh, kata “details” mendapatkan penekanan pada huruf “e” dalam Inggris British dan pada “ai” dalam Inggris Amerika.

Kosa kata (vocabulary)

Ada beberapa kata dan istilah yang digunakan hanya dalam Inggris British atau hanya dalam Inggris Amerika. Akan tetapi, dengan adanya media baru seperti internet dan dunia yang semakin mengglobal kata-kata seperti ini menjadi semakin sedikit. Berikut beberapa contohnya.

Bahasa Inggris British	Bahasa Inggris Amerika
lift boot autumn litter crossroad trousers	Elevator trunk fall garbage crossing pants

Adapun bahasa Inggris yang kita pelajari di bangku-bangku sekolah dan kuliah lebih dominan bahasa Inggris British.
