iPad 2 Smart Cover: Softcore Armor Lets the Sexy Shine Through
Early iPad 2 buyers faced a relative shortage of protective cases and coverings made specifically for their new devices. The most prominent on the market, of course, was Apple's own Smart Cover. The design is sleek, and it's highly functional as a cover and stand, though it doesn't offer the kind of rough-and-tumble protection you might want if you're iPad is in for some serious adventuring.

Genius MousePen M508W unveiled

Genius has released their MousePen M508W for those living in North America – yes, that means the US as well as Canada. This is a 5″ x 8″ wireless graphic-design tablet which will connect to a notebook or desktop through a USB receiver, working over the 2.4GHz wireless technology spectrum. Of course, with that connection, you are able to move around without any interference, and Genius intends to target the M508W at art teachers, students and graphic-design professionals, offering them wireless freedom to paint, draw, write, and edit.
Sporting a high-performance stylus that is tilt sensitive ±60 degrees and comes with 1024 pressure levels (the latter is normal), it is a snap to make the right brush strokes, whether they are meant to be thicker or thinner, as it all depends on how hard the stylus is pressed. Graphic-design professionals will also find that the MousePen M508W will offer one a similar experience as that of using paint and canvas.

Since it is called a MousePen, just how does it fare as a mouse? The left button for instance, is a simple push down with a right-click button and scroll button located near the tip along the side. The stylus will move across the 4000 LPI high-resolution contact area as though the display and tablet were the same, letting everything run smoothly and accurately.
You can opt to switch between the 5″ x 8″ contact area to a 4:3 wide screen contact area if the need arises. With a quartet of express keys (Desktop, Flip 3D, Page Up, Page Down) available for easy navigation, you will also find that the M508W comes with an LED power and low-battery indicator. The presence of 13 programmable hot cells make it a snap to create customized Office and Internet shortcuts that are located along the top of the contact area. A clip is there to handily stash away the stylus for easy access.
Expect to fork out $149 for the Genius MousePen M508W.

Google Search for iPhone Hits Its Awkward Stage
Google has updated its search app for iPhone with a new interface, as well as the addition of Google Goggles. The slide'n'swipe interface features an interesting way of arranging menu items, yet the slide action feels jerky. Like its original version, the app can take you to a long list of Google Apps, yet it throws the user over to Safari rather than using the app's built-in browser, which might be smoother.

Prayer Journal

Why must we exercise?

To become a Gospel elite capable of saving the world, we must utilize our time well. If we manage our spare time, mornings and evenings well, we can easily surpass others. Managing one's health is as important as managing time wisely. The best method for maintaining health is by exercise.

1. Exercise is related to leisure in life
     Having time to exercise means that a person is disciplined in their lives in regards to being able to manage their time. When we exercise, we will gain leisure. In particular, because all of our thoughts are focused in one place, it is possible to easily meditate or do scheduled prayer. When we become morning people it is easy to accomplish all that is difficult for others to do. 

2. Exercise is related to health
      People used to wake up early to diligently gather food for the day. And because they had no convenient methods of transportation, they had to walled, and as a result had no choice but to be healthy due to the amount of exercise they did. But as civilization developed, the amount of exercise for the average human decreased, and physical health declined as well. More than anything, elites pay attention to their health. If we lose our health, we can't even work, let alone supass others.

3. Exercise is related to world evangelization
      Exercise has a direct correlation to world evangelization. To compete with the elites of the world, we absolutely need our health. But it is difficult to begin exercise after we age, it is impressive that we begin now. WHen we exercise, not only will we be physically healthy, but we will grow spiritually healthy as well.

The way to bind the culture of Satan

Acts 19:8~20 In this way the world of the Lord spread widely and grew in power

Satan tries to take over culture and devour the entire world. If we fall into the culture of Satan, the spiritual problems that have persisted throughout our lives will grow even more serious over time. If we do not realize this, it will be a huge stumbling block and a great source of difficulty for us. However, if we realize this in the Gospel, it will become the path to the greatest blessings. What must we know in order to overcome Satan's attacks and find the answers to the problems that we have?

1. What we must do
     There is something that we must do in order to overcome the culture of Satan. As we hold to the covenant of Christ who brought all our problems to an end, we must begin in the most Biblical and normal way. And we must find our own means to receive the filling of the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised that we would receive power and become witnesses to the ends of the earth if we received the filling of the Holy Spirit. We must firmly hold to this covenant.

2. What we must be thankful for
     Jesus told us that there is something God desires to do through the problems that we have. THerefore, even when we have problems, it is of the utmost importance to know God's plan and restore genuine thanksgiving without being resentful of discouraged. In addition, if we receive the filling of the Holy Spirit in the midst of deep prayer, God will use the problems that we have in an important way. Paul was very spiritually afflicted, but after meeting Christ, he was able to cure with the Gospel those who were sick and demon-possessed.

3.The commission that God has entrusted to us who have the Gospel
    There may be many people around us who perform wonders or are fascinated by unhealthy mysticism. There are those who are given to legalism and condemn others who have problems, and those who have ulterior motives and use humanism. We must be alert so that we do not fall into these things as well and instead correctly grab hold of God's Word. The culture of Satan appears formidable, but people crumble in an instant when disasters strike. What is important is that we must make preparations to save those who have fallen into the culture of Satan. This is the greatest commission that God has granted to us. What enters us when we are young will determine the rest of our lives. Therefore, it is essential that the covenant of Christ enters the Remnants (stump) while they are still young. If we have the covenant of Christ, we can overcome difficulties no matter what they are. This is why the Remnant movement and the RUTC (The Remnant Unity Training Center) are important and cultural conquest is urgent.

The Life of an Evangelist 

A blessed family is one i which both husband and wife hold to the pulpit message and have forum with the Gospel. It's even better if they're able to have forum with their children, too. It's at this time that the spiritual things of the family line are passed down to the children. There's nothing more joyful than sharing kinds of evidences that arose in the field when we held to the pulpit message. This is the beginning of the evangelism movement.

1. Today's evangelism
Meetings arise between people and in all different fields. Most people don't think twice about the meetings they have with others, but they are incredibly important when we see them through the eyes of the Gospel and evangelism. Everyone needs Christ. We must see this through meetings and relay it to others. All we have to do is tell the people we meet why they need Christ or relay important evangelism materials to them. We can tell those people that Jesus is the Christ when they understand why they need Christ. This is today's evangelism.

2. Today's Word
We must find today's Word through our pulpit message, as well as a message to relay in the field. We must find today's Word as we hold to the church pulpit message that is given to us each week. We will come to know what today's Word is when we go to the field. This is when our life begins to be led by the Word. This is the best way to have victory in the field.

3. Today's prayer
There are so many answers that we've received up to now. Prayer will take place if we have true thanksgiving regarding the answers we've received. That is when we will see the answers we will receive in the future. We can hold onto these answers and do scheduled prayer. This is today's prayer.

4. How can we start a life of an evangelist?
Holding to the Gospel in times of despair and discouragement is evangelism. We will find God's plan if we allow the Gospel to truly be the Gospel. We can save the world if we receive strength from the Word and prayer and keep evangelism in our hearts. We can save our lives, our talents and our finances.

The flower that blooms in the palace

There are many trees when you go to the courtyard of the kings of old.
These trees  remained beside the kings throughout
the tumultuous palatial history.

This year, at the beck and call of the Creator God,
and within the flow of the seasons,
The trees bear countless flowers at the ends of its branches.

The flowers dance merrily in the face of the warm, spring breeze,
And looking at those flowers, a sudden, fleeting through passes:
I recall the prayer tropic of a pastor who began his church
In order to evangelize this region, where the royal palace and
500 years of idolatry stand.

May we be a church that spreads the fragrance of Jesus Christ,
The one, true king who came to give salvation to this world.

Mike and Bryan Talk About Legend of Korra
The Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy has been running daily features on the upcoming series The Legend of Korrafor the past several days now. Their latest article is an interview with Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the creators of  Avatar: the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. According to the article the new series is due out mid-2012 on Nickelodeon, not this November as previously once thought. Here is some good news though;Nickelodeon had originally only ordered 12 episodes for the new series but recently decided to order 14 more shows. 




WSJ: How far along are you on the new series?
Mike: We are in the midst of the first twelve episodes. We’ve written all the episodes. Episodes have shipped to the overseas animations studios and they’re animating away as we speak. So we’re kind of in the middle of things right now…All the vocal cast has been picked and recorded and all the scripts have been recorded.
WSJ: Are you looking to win new viewers with the series or just satisfy fans of the old series who have grown up?
Mike: We want everyone to watch. Definitely fans of the first series will not be disappointed in this one. The tone is a little older, the characters are a little older than the first series�they’re teenagers. Korra is 16 so she’s older than Aang was. So I think maybe some people who weren’t into the first show might find this one and be into it.
WSJ: Since the main characters are older, will there be more romance?
Bryan: I thought Korra was 17 so Mike and I have to get our stories straight. The main characters are in their late teens, we’ve always loved those kind of teen love triangle type stories and there was plenty of that in the original series. We’re definitely getting into it in this series. The difference is these people have cars and motorcycles and things. There’s definitely a different dynamic. I’d say the show is more sophisticated than the original series but it has the same balance of tones we’ve always liked with humor, action, drama, scary stuff and romance.
WSJ: Will characters from the first series show up in “Korra”?
Bryan: Again it’s 70 years later so they’ll appear in various ways perhaps.
Mike: There is definitely a link to the old series and the old characters.
WSJ: Who is the main villain in Korra?
Mike: We have a great villain. He’s kind of an anti-bending revolutionary guy. Very scary dude. And definitely is quite a challenge for Korra.

Apple Makes Changes to Prevent Kids from Accidental In-App Buys


Apple has changed its in-app purchase policy, in wake of criticism over the ability of kids to rack up huge bills via in-app purchases. The changes come in iOS 4.3, which was released on March 9.

The new version of iOS adds another layer of security: in the past, in the first 15 minutes after an app was purchased, you didn't need to enter the iTunes password again. Parents who bought a game might hand the device over to a child, only to see a huge bill later as the children didn't understand they were racking up a bill.

However, it doesn't mean that a password needs to be entered for every in-app purchase. Once "unlocked," the in-app purchase policy means that purchases can be made for 15 minutes after the password is entered. Parents need to be remember that, and not just hand the device over.


On the other hand, parents can also disable in-app purchases altogether under Settings >> General >> Restrictions.

Google Enables Instant Preview For Mobile, New Emergency Calling Display

It's the small steps, Sally! Some say big things come in tiny packages, and in this case, a big plus has come in the form of a small magnifying glass. Google's latest subtle tweak to the mobile browsing experience is shaping up to make a major difference in how people surf, and save them an awful lot of time along the way. Back in November 2010, Google started to showcase emergency phone numbers at the top of the results page for searches around poison control, suicide and other common emergencies in 14 countries. This week, the company is making it even simpler to quickly reach the help you may need by adding click-to-call capabilities for all of these emergency information search results.



They did this by piggybacking on the way that their mobile ads team enabled click-to-call phone numbers in local ads on mobile devices, which allows businesses to make it even easier for customers to reach them when those customers search on Internet-enabled mobile devices. Previously, mobile users in one of these countries who conducted searches around poison control, suicide and common emergency numbers received a result showing the relevant emergency phone number. People on mobile will now get the same result, but the phone number will be a link that allows you to dial the number instantly, just by clicking the link.


In other mobile news, Google also implemented Instant Previews on Mobile, which is active on phones with Android 2.2+ and iPhone 4.0+. The service works across 38 languages, and similar to the desktop version, you can visually compare search results from webpage snapshots, making it easier to choose the right result faster, especially when you have an idea of the content you’d like to see. For example, if you’re looking for a webpage that has both photos and descriptions, you can use Instant Previews to quickly identify these pages by navigating across the visual search results with a few swipes of your finger. Or perhaps you’re looking for an article, a step-by-step instructions list, or a product comparison chart—with Instant Previews, you can easily spot pages with the right content without having to navigate back and forth between websites and search results. And when the mobile version of a website is availablee, Google will show you a preview of the mobile page.

Looking to try it out? Just initiate a search on Google.com on one of those supported devices, and tap the magnifying glass next to any result.

Information Technology news: Gadget

Lest you might have forgotten, Apple sent out an announcement today reminding the world that its second generation magical device (and yes, Apple revived that term) -- the iPad 2 -- will be available tomorrow evening at 5 PM local time in each of its 236 Apple retail stores in the U.S, 1 AM PST online at www.apple.com, and 5 PM local time at AT&T, Best Buy, Target, Verizon Wireless, Walmart, and select Apple Authorized Resellers.

Those who march into an Apple Store to pick up an iPad 2 will be offered free Personal Setup service, helping you do things like setup your email and load new apps before you leave the store.






In case you somehow missed all the hoopla, from pre-launch rumors to Apple's March 2nd press event, the iPad 2 is 33 percent thinner and up to 15 percent lighter than the original iPad. It sports a faster dual-core processor with much better graphics performance, it has both rear- and front-facing cameras, can record 720p HD video, and still delivers up to 10 hours of battery life, or so Apple claims. Pricing is the same as before, meaning you can grab an iPad 2 starting at $499 for the 16GB Wi-Fi only model.

So back to our original question. Show of hands, how many of you are planning to pick up an iPad 2, either on launch day (tomorrow) or sometime after? If not the iPad 2, do you plan to purchase a tablet anytime soon? Which one?

Week Without Walls - Day 1



It was my first field trip in Cita Hati since I moved to this school half a year ago (2010). This was my first time to have a field trip with the grade 10 to Jakarta and Bandung at February 8th, 2011. The trip's theme is called "Week Without Walls".
We have to arrive at around 5:00 to Juanda airport, Surabaya, Indonesia. My plane took off at 6:00 and arrived at around 7:00. Then we went straight away to Garuda GMF AeroAsia. It was a place where they keep to maintenance the airplanes. At 10.30 we moved to the Aero Catering Service (ACS). At there we learned how the plane food produced and packed. And we also got lunch in the ACS, it was very delicious. Then we go to GITC (Garuda Indonesia Training Service), it was a place where Garuda trained new workers. 



After a half day trip to Jakarta, we went to Bandung at around 15:00 and arrived at 18:00. Before we go to Amaris Hotel, we had dinner in Kampung Daun. It was a very wonderful restaurant with a beautiful waterfall and delicious foods.
We checked in the hotel at 21:30, unpacked, and went to sleep at 22:00.

Week Without Walls - Day 2

On the 2nd day (February 9th, 2011) we had morning call at 5:30 and we got 1 hour to get ready before having breakfast at 6:30. I was roommate with Evelyn. 

At 7:30 we went to Konferensi Asia Afrika Museum to learn about the history of the conference that happened during the world war. There were also old furnitures that were used in that time. Then we went to distro for interviews (the projects that we got from school) and we also got some time for shopping. We had lunch in Pagoda Restaurant, it was a chinese restaurant. 




The geology museum was boring. We went there at 12:00, straight away after lunch and continued our journey to C.59 (home shirt factory). The name for the factory stands for the name of the street and 59 was the number of the house. Then we had our dinner in the bus and were allowed to went shopping to "Rumah Mode" and "Paris Van Java". It was the best of the entire trip. 

We went back to the hotel at around 22:00 but I went to sleep at midnight.

Week Without Walls - Day 3

On the last day (February 10th, 2011), I was very exhausted and was very sleepy it the morning because I didn't get enough sleep at night. Like on the 2nd day, we had morning call at 5:30 but because I was so tired, I went to sleep again after the morning call and woke up at 6:00.


As usual, we had our breakfast at 6:30. We have to be packed and ready to leave because we're going straight away to Jakarta and go back to Surabaya today. We also had time to buy souvenirs in "Primarasa" after we had breakfast in the hotel. "Primarasa" was the most popular traditional bakery in Bandung. It is very popular among visitors. Saung Udjo Cultural angklung factory was our next destination. We watched people play traditional angklung and saw how they made the angklung. 

We went to Jakarta at 12:30  and arrived at 16:30 to had dinner at Bukit Randu Bandara (it was also chinese food). It took 1 hour for us to went to the airport from the restaurant even though the distance from the restaurant to the airport wasn't far but we had traffic jam (traffic jam is very common in Jakarta). 

The flight was at 19:00 and we arrived safely to Surabaya at 20:00. It was a very exiting journey and I hoped that it was longer.
