Again, I went to TU/e ICTheek and I found a trash can... but this is quite different from others since this trash can is for human... you think I'm bluffing ? then see this :D

Puisi BJ Habibie untuk almarhum istrinya

Sebenarnya ini bukan tentang kematianmu, bukan itu.

Karena, aku tahu bahwa semua yang ada pasti menjadi tiada pada akhirnya,

dan kematian adalah sesuatu yang pasti,

dan kali ini adalah giliranmu untuk pergi, aku sangat tahu itu.


Tapi yang membuatku tersentak sedemikian hebat,

adalah kenyataan bahwa kematian benar-benar dapat memutuskan kebahagiaan dalam diri seseorang, sekejap saja, lalu rasanya mampu membuatku menjadi nelangsa setengah mati, hatiku seperti tak di tempatnya, dan tubuhku serasa kosong melompong, hilang isi.

Kau tahu sayang, rasanya seperti angin yang tiba-tiba hilang berganti kemarau gersang.

Pada airmata yang jatuh kali ini, aku selipkan salam perpisahan panjang,

pada kesetiaan yang telah kau ukir, pada kenangan pahit manis selama kau ada,

aku bukan hendak megeluh, tapi rasanya terlalu sebentar kau disini.

Mereka mengira aku lah kekasih yang baik bagimu sayang,

tanpa mereka sadari, bahwa kaulah yang menjadikan aku kekasih yang baik.

mana mungkin aku setia padahal memang kecenderunganku adalah mendua, tapi kau ajarkan aku kesetiaan, sehingga aku setia, kau ajarkan aku arti cinta, sehingga aku mampu mencintaimu seperti ini.

Selamat jalan,

Kau dari-Nya, dan kembali pada-Nya,

kau dulu tiada untukku, dan sekarang kembali tiada.

selamat jalan sayang,

cahaya mataku, penyejuk jiwaku,

selamat jalan,

calon bidadari surgaku ....

Me and Mom

Waktu itu 2 tahun umurku,

hanya kue manis dan permen yang aku mau.

"Tengok tuh tuh tuh" kata mama sambil mengarah ke kamera

"AAagghh ! " kata ari kecil

Kini aku dewasa,

mungkin aku lupa dengan kue manis buatanmu,

tapi kenangan manis itu tetap terberkas di hatiku.

....

....

Makasih ma... dari ku dan dari ari kecil.

I luv u.

Siapa bilang kuliah di Jerman harus pake bahasa Jerman ?

Universitas Teknik Braunschweig merupakan salah satu universitas teknik di Jerman. TU ini juga dikenal dengan nama TU Carolo Wilhemina.
Kuliah di TU ini memang bayar (kira2 700 - 800 euro perbulan) namun servicenya cukup memuakan. Misalnya:

1. Kalian dapat semester tiket - dengan semester tiket kita bisa jalan gratis (menggunakan kreta regular dan tidak termasuk bus dalam kota lain selain Braunschweig) untuk satu provinsi Niedersachsen.
2. Ada mensa - kantin dengan makanan-makanan berharga murah (1.5 euro dapet sosis kari plus kentang goreng).
3. Bisa pinjem buku di bibliotek (perpustakaan) tanpa ada batas jumlab buku peminjaman
4. Kadang-kadang suka ada bingkisan-bingkisan gratis di bagi-bagikan secara gratis di mensa waktu makan siang (hehehe - public secret).

Di TU ini juga ada satu departemen yang bahasa pengantarnya bahasa inggris misalnya CSE (hanya untuk master course), jurusan ini cukup menarik dan lebih ke arah simulasi. Saya pernah satu kali mengikuti kelas di departemen ini bagi saya kelas nya cukup menarik (gak tau kelas lain nya gimana sulit atau tidak :D). Semuanya di lakukan dalam bahasa inggris. Namun selama kuliah, kita juga mendapat kursus bahasa Jerman. Namun, di departemen ini, syarat agar kita untuk membuat master tesis adalah kita harus lulus ujian DSH (Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang ) or German Exam for College Admission.

hmm... kangen BS jadinya...

Aku akan menjemput hati mu kembali...

Bagainkan mawar layu termakan waktu...
Seperti besi berkarat diterpa angin...
aku lemah di dimensi ruang dan waktu yang lain.

Aku hanya berteman dengan koordinat f(x,y) yang kutemui
dan akhirnya ku lupa dengan F(0,0).
Aku lupa kalau aku masih berada di koordinat Cartesius
Aku menyangkan aku telah berada di koordinat Polar

Aku tersesat dalam ruang 2 dimensi.
Sedikit waktuku tersisa,
Namun aku harus menemukan konversi dan vektorku
agar aku bisa menjemput hati mu kembali.

Beasiswa untuk mahasiswa internasional di Jepang

Kemarin saya baru mendapat email tentang beasiswa-beasiswa untuk mahasiswa asing di jepang. Di website ini memang masih untuk putaran 2009-2010 (seharusnya akan ada lagi di tahun berikutnya) tapi prosedur dan kriteria masih valid. Di website ini ada informasi tentang beasiswa-beasiswa dari berbagai organisasi yang didukung oleh JASSO

Kenapa nilai mata uang Euro menurun ?

Dalang utama dari fakta ini adalah hutang Yunani dan prediksi bahwa negara-negara yang tak terlalu kuat ekonominya, seperti Portugal dan Spanyol, berpotensi untuk mengalami krisis.

"Penyebab utamanya adalah karena sejumlah negara tidak mematuhi apa yang disebut Pakta Stabilitas. Pakta ini adalah sejumlah perjanjian yang berlaku ketika mata uang Euro dipergunakan. Tujuannya adalah untuk menjaga nilai Euro agar tetap stabil. Yunani sekarang jadi pusat perhatian. Negara ini bukan hanya telah membiarkan hutangnya menggunung, tapi juga memberikan informasi yang tidak benar kepada ECB dan organisasi-organisasi Eropa lainnya. Hal terburuk yang bisa terjadi adalah, nilai Euro tak bisa diselamatkan lagi dan Zona Euro harus kembali ke mata uang lama. Tapi jika hal itu benar-benar terjadi, konsekuensi ekonomi dan politiknya sangat besar. Karena itulah, opsi ini bukan pilihan utama. Toh, pasar ekonomi terus mengawasi perkembangan." menurut Hans de Vrij

Giliran Belanda "dijajah" Indonesia lewat makanan...

Nampaknya, orang belanda senang sekali dengan masakan Indonesia. Mereka juga tetep menggunakan nama produk tersebut dalam bahasa indonesia misalnya saus sate yang saya beli di Aldi (Pasar swalayan asal jerman)...Produk lainnya (sepertinya di impor dari Indonesia jadi ya... nama nya tidak berubah) adalah sambal udang dan beras kencur instan untuk di minum ini saya beli di satu toko asia Shang Lee di Eindhoven. Saus Sate 1.15 euro, sambal udangnya 2.6 euro dan beras kencur 2.5 euro... :D.

Bengawan Solo dan Rayuan Pulau Kelapa di Braunschweig

About a year ago, there was an Indonesian Culture event in Braunschweig, Germany. Indonesian students performed 2 songs in medley. Bengawan Solo and Rayuan Pulau Kelapa. I was playing guitar in this event :D. There is also a video of our performance that probably nice to see. Enjoy it...

Here is the newest video from LTE. Pretty cool and looks promising ! LTE will change how people communicate with each other and how they enjoy environments without time and place limitation.

Restoran Indonesia di Eindhoven

Di Belanda banyak sekali toko Indonesia... sejak 3 hari lalu saya jalan sudah melihat 3 toko Indonesia. Dua toko ada di sekitar pusat kota, nah... satu lagi ada di bawah apartemen saya :D Namanya Retoran Indonesia Benjamin ... Hari ini saya beli menu kombinasi (2 daging 2 sayur) dengan harga 5 euro untuk 2 kali makan :P lumayan...

Mereka memberi untuk maksud mereka sendiri.

Ch. 11 "Nathalia"

(June 30th, 2007)...

Today, I've just come back from Surabaya... doing something stupid in fact with the TX. Soon after, I finished it I went to the ERKASET hospital (ST. Vincentius de Paulo Hospital) where I was born. ^_^ There, I saw the room where I was exactly lied when I was still an infant, and also I saw the room where my mom lied on bed to have some rest. ^__^ guys, I don't know what was exactly happening when I saw the the crying-baby who was inside the incubator... I was also crying, I imagined that that was me... that was me who is crying... ^_^ after I had spent 30' there just standing in front of the door of neo-natus chamber, I went back to airport... there I met an old-lady was carrying the baby. She named Nathalia. She was sleeping at that time and with out any comment, I asked the old-lady (her grandma) if I could take her picture while she was sleeping ^_^... and yes, I took it. She is really cute, small, and sleeping really into deep-sleep ^_^. I was sad when I heard that she had some infection on her urethra but anyway she is ok now (in the name of GOD, I pray for it). Guess what there beautiful creature was also born in the same place with me... and in the same room also Paviliun 9 no. 80. She was born on June 30th 2007 so now she is 4 months and 1 day-old. While I was on the flight, on 35.000 ft height... I committed to my self that I always pray for her, and I would like to make her as my daughter even only inside my prayer...

2,8 kg the utmost incredible GOD-made ^_____^

Ch. 10 "Like Sugar in A Cup of Coffee"

When I was taking a way home from M2V station, my french colleague, Serge, said about religious thing which is unusual (he talks rarely about this issue)… God is like SUGAR in a cup of COFFEE (why ?) the more we blend the sugar (because we try to reach the sugar) the more we loose the sugar, because in fact it’s blended, it’s become one with the coffee. ^_^ the more we try to find GOD, the more we become blind… it’s not because we could not find HIM but because He won’t be in front of who has high curiosity of what kind of person He is but will in front ot who purely expect Him to come. And anyway the "coffee" becomes sweeter and also our life become "sweeter" if we never stop to seek Him.

"The more you blend the coffee, the more you can find the sugar"

Ch. 9 "On the ice ring"

On 23^rd December 2007, we went to a place where we can find an ice-ring in side. We sat upstairs around the ice-ring. Seeing so many people were playing ice-skating, my dear, started with a mild smile looking to down stairs. “What are you looking at?” with a big anxiety on my eyes, then she said “It’s funny; it looks like a circle of life…” Hmmm… it’s unique and I like her when she started with it. I was triggered to joint her to her “mind”. We saw there, there were people going around the ice-ring and there were so many of them. There was a person who felt and got up again quickly but there was also a kid who felt to the ground but he kept on playing with the ice… maybe it’s because he was so attracted with something that the ice has. There were people who moved to other direction, some of them were novices maybe because they were not able even to stand straight on the ice ^_^ but trying and feeling happy were the most important motivation for them to move on it. Even there were also some groups of girls and boys that were on the middle of the ice-ring. All of them were showing human way of life. Life is like rounding something, the ice-ring. We have to move on without against the time, never look back at what had happened while we are moving. It is a simple starting-trick to begin the journey. Sometimes, ‘falling’ is the best way to know how we have done but unfortunately people (including me) always look the factual causes of the ‘falling’ without taking any consideration of what we will learn after. We have to get up, but I know it is VERY difficult but it’s really a different story for no matter what we have to stand up. For pessimistic person, they will totally depend on time factor… some of them are using religious issue as their own reason, waiting what He will give and keep on praying. I do not say that religious people is a pessimistic person but I would like to say to or give you a description that belief is no more than just an idea without any action to actualized. And also there are some of them who are fake-prophets, these are the most ridiculous type of THING –I would like to say- talking too much about God without any belief or even knowledge about what God wants. Another type of person is an optimistic person who always depends on their logical aspects. A little bit pushy and straight minded are the most important in this type of person. I have to say that I am the second type. But I know that I need God to accomplish my life. ‘The ice-ring’ attracted me to contemplate of what I have been done for several years ago. There are ‘falling’, ‘enjoying the ice and don’t want to get up soon’, ‘going into other direction’, ‘taking a short-cut’, ‘having groups’, and many things are the same like I was on Ice-ring. But as a second type of person, I do not know or even feel that I have been watched since I took my first step on the ice. So many people up there (on the upper level) and out there are watching me while I am going around on the ice. But because my intention is always going into what we called logic then my eyes are fixed always onto what I see only, the ice, people, group, and my shoes. I concentrated more just because I don’t want to be looking stupid in front of people around me (even I know there are several people who could not play at all). High concentration leads me to become more idealistic and makes me stress and guess what? I play alone meanwhile it is so much fun if I could make friends there and ask to teach something. So straight my eyes until I don’t really know there are a hundred people up there looking at me, laughing at me…I just don’t know. A MAN IS TRYING to call me from up there, but you know I am busy with my own business. The Man keeps shouts at me maybe more than a thousand times and He does it again and again every time I play. Until I fall and it hurts me much. I loose my concentration and that sound triggers my awareness, I move my head upward seeing place where the sound comes from. ^_^ I smile, because He smiles first at me and waving His hands and saying “It’s OK, go and play again… It’s not your time to stop” ^_________^

Ch. 8 "3 days as a backpacker..." (cerita waktu banjir besar 2007 =D)

My journey…(from my old blog Friendster)

2.2.2007

Two days ago, I went back from my office to my house but because there was flood that in fact closed my way to my house; I decided to stay in Fanny’s house. I said to my self and to her also that I would not stay here till the next day. But in the end, the condition forced me to spend one night on hers. During the night, we talked just about simple things and not too serious. After, I received a sms from my parent noted that I could not go back home because all access were closed and the flood was like hell every where. My brother said “Don’t come back, just try to stay there and wait until the flood roll back from the area…” what was in my mind at that time was only panic and panic, even I was accompanied by Fanny but… no, I had to do something… I kept contact with my parent but nothing happened, the flood just stayed at that level and did not decrease. So, at that time, I had to spend a night there with worry, of course. I could sleep just because I was tired and it was not because I had convenient place that night.

3.2.2007

I woke up in the morning. It was

8 am

where the sky still dark and cloudy. I thought it was going to rain again. Again, I asked my parent about their situation, and they said there were no significant changes that day. The flood was still at knees-level in side my house and didn’t yet decrease. At the mean time I was waiting there and had a chat with Fanny, at that time we talked about something more serious. ^_^ but lucky she is awesome, open-minded, and broad-minded as well. So, we talked easily and we had a good time.

## A person that will accompany you as long as you live is really your soul mate and s/he has to be the right one, for you choose only once in your life. And, the prices that we have to pay for it are the same as sacrificing our ego, our private interest, or maybe our habits. Knowing a person in one relationship is very difficult because maybe the one who we tried to know and understand is not the one that we are trying to know and understand for we meet only the ‘mask’. Difficult, here, means there is a way to know and to understand but it is not so easy like you pay a penny for a candy. You need time, patience, broad-mind, honesty and wisdom. To open the ‘mask’ you need to understand your partner and not only “know”. How to understand your partner is by communicating not by phone but direct. A good communication is based on honesty and respect. Honest means we have to convoy the truth which is coming from the deepest heart and not from the mind because mind has ability to manipulate the memory, history, even the feeling so that someone could be possibly deceived. But heart is not like mind, it just likes a solar-panel, a solar-panel could received the sun light and generate electricity. Heart receives the feeling and it gives response. The mind is so deceitful because it could receive all the things around even the bad one and in the end; those will be absorbed in to it and generates several negative generalizations and unfortunately the negative generalizations interfere the process that happens while the mind response the feeling. Meanwhile the process inside heart is so simple and never be interfered. I believe that heart only can trust and then surrender, and after love ^___^. Person who always put mind first, will poison the heart… so the result is hate, then revenge and destruction. ^___^ so communicate honestly and respect her or him like you respect your self. ##

After we talked, I thought I had to go back home no mater what. So I bought some food and water for people in my house and I drove back home. During my way back home, again all access were closed and only water upon it. I was sad and disappointed with my country! They had known that in 5 years from 2002 there was a disastrous flood but what they did? STUPID DISGRACE Bus way! Instead of sewage tunnel in underground on each big street at least! Leaving my sadness, I called my friend in slipi apartment and told about my condition and he asked me to stay in his apartment, and after I called my parent that I would go to my friend apartment in slipi. I took the toll way and had to make a tour around

Jakarta

. I stopped my car on the toll way’s left side in one place, it was only light reflection, means the area (where ever it was) was covered already with water. Flood was everywhere. During my way to slipi, I was sad because I felt lonely (it sounds strange but…) I was really felt that I had no body even I knew that my parent and my brother were waiting for me in my house. 2 days without seeing my own home… felt like I did not have one… fooling around in wet-Jakarta with a car where there was only 10 liters of gasoline AND the worst was, I didn’t know how long I had to stay on the way if, just in case that I’d never know, there was flood and I had to stop somewhere or may be I had to drive out Jakarta… with 10 liters of gasoline along one billion liters of flood. After an hour, I arrived in the apartment, I was lucky because I still had a parking place. After I parked my car, I went up to 24^th floor. And, I met my France friend there… he joked by asking a photo of the flood, because on Friday 2.2.2007 we went together to some place that was flood as well and we took many pictures there.

4.2.2007

At 11.30am, I went out apartment and I tried to go back again to my house but still no access, so I decided to stop there and wait for my brother who brought me new clothes and food. You know guys, sometime, he is so annoying, he does not like me, and also so me, I don’t like him either sometime. But we always love each other silently and show our love not by words but by action, like he did today. He knew that I can take my car to Fanny’s house my self and go back home by foot alone anyway it’s ok for me either but he insists to accompany me ^___^ what a brother. After I put my car on Fanny’s house, I left to my house together with my brother by foot. It was not far away, only 3 Km at least. I arrived in my home and I was glad that I could see my parent ^_^. I was happy.

## Love is not always be poured in words we said but could be possibly showed in action ^_^… now I understand why some one is hard to say “I love you”; it is not because s/he does not love you but s/he has another way to ‘say’ it ##

….

Ch. 7 "Eh.. Jelek"

Kadang banyak orang berpikir dan bertanya atau bahkan 'memaksa' membenarkan apa yang namanya 'panggilan'. Saya memang gak begitu ngerti seperti apa itu panggilan dan bagaimana prosesnya yang umum bagi setiap orang. Saya hanya mengerti panggilan yang terjadi dalam pribadi saya... pasti, karena itu bersifat personal. Bayangkan saja klo orang yang ber-emosi tinggi dipanggil dengan ...."EH,Jelek....." ? Mungkin bukan dia yang datang tapi bagian dari dirinya... yaitu SENDAL yang menyapa pemanggil. Itu merupakan contoh yang paling mendarat ttg panggilan. Panggilan untuk hidup selibat dan berkeluarga keduanya sama sulit dan sama serunya. Tidak ada alasan bagi seorang romo bilang hidup saya jauh lebih 'mengerikan' dibanding hidup berkeluarga... sementara romo gak pernah membayangkan bagai mana rasanya seorang ayah di JAMBAK-JAMBAK oleh 3 orang anak yang masih berumur dibawah 5 tahun... dan itu berlangsung selama 5 tahun pula... sebaliknya juga demikian bagi seorang yang menikah gak bisa membayangkan jika harus tidur malam2 berdua dengan papan... namun dibalik itu semua pasti tersimpan kelebihannya masing-masing. Jadi panggilan itu yang seperti apa ? hmm bagi saya, klo kita bisa bahagia dan selalu berkepenuhan meski dalam penderitaan di dalam jalan hidup yang kita pilih... nah itu dia yang namanya 'terpanggil' menurut saya ^_^

Ch. 6 "God... Why I can't be like that, that AND that ?"

Monday, September 08, 2008 (from my old blog Frienster)

Yesterday, as you knew… I was really jealous with every one here around me because they are all very lucky with what they have right now… one of my friend, Samuel, he has just received 4500 USD only for apprenticeship in Google, how can I not jealous? He is really smart as well. Well, just 1 day passed, (is today) we met again and he got in to my YM. And I approved him. I still envy him about what he had. But there was something at that time, I was hungry and I was asking him whether he has food or not. At the first time I was thinking that I was just joking, but somehow, I followed the rhythm… He also gave me an idea that every Monday is better to take KFC promo menu consist of 6 pcs. of chickens meet with only 6.25 euro. Well, then I also would like to go there as well because he somehow triggered me to do so (because it was a good promotion though!).

At 8 pm we went together by foot, because the gate of Bicycle Park on my department had closed on 7 pm so I had no change to take out my bike. During our way to KFC, we talked about our past and got known each other, he talked about his girlfriend how was older than him and just broke up 1 week ago. And he talked about his study… and about our believe in GOD, not more than 10 minutes we had talked about that, there were 2 young people from “Jezus Christus” Christian church appeared and asked us whether we would be interested in joining that kind of church… well, Sam is Christian and I am Catholic so we avoided that guys and went to the KFC, but we were amazed because we had just talked about GOD and somehow HE heard what we were speaking and HE just, by any change, appeared in this situation… but I didn’t focus on that 2 guys were appeared suddenly but I focused on GOD is really HERE not THERE… HE is WITH US ^_^. Even they might be not from catholic but HE could be in others that we meet every single day.

When we reached KFC, he decided to treat my meal and we started to talk more about family and our spiritual experience. He started with his father death in 2004… his father death was not because of illness or heart attack but it was because something out of our senses. This experience made him and his family was suffered so much. His mother told him, when he was still in ITB, that she didn’t have money left to pay the tuition fee… it must be really thought for someone who really like to finish the study… After his after death, his mother looked like a person who has lost her soul, looked so confused, and hopeless. He really had a bad time… He also told me about his manner that is always wants to win in every case no mater what. And one time, when he accepted in ITB of course there were so many bright students coming from all over Indonesia, and he felt stressed because he was beat by those guys. At that time he decided to drop out his study and planed to move to other university which had lower grade than ITB… he was doing nothing at home for almost 1 week after he had dropped the study in ITB. His friends kept calling him and asking why he dropped the course. Until one time, when he slept, he felt something like a spirit move from his stomach up to his head and he saw like a “very bright thing” just right on his face… he felt very content and just a day after, he said to his family that he was going to take his study back on ITB… his parents were happy and supported him so much (this happened years before his father death). He said he almost got perfect score in the first semester in ITB… because he believed if GOD put him in ITB he would be success there… trust, believe, effort and pray… are the good combination to achieve big success.

Well, his story really admonished me and slapped me. Recently, I always grouch and feel jealous… never feel satisfy on what I have right now… never be thankful up on what I received. GOD sends me to this land … to this university… HE asks me to finish it till the end and HE always be here right on my side ^__^ so that I will not be worry about anything, because I trust HIM, I believe in HIM for HE will provide EVERY SINGLE THING even what we won’t think because whether we forget or because it is just to small ^__^ HE cares about us ^__^….

LTE di Indonesia (2012 - 2013)

LTE adalah teknologi mobile broadband dengan kecepatan rata-rata 20-40 Mbps dan maksimum 150 Mbps. Teknologi ini merupakan teknologi mobile broadband lanjutan setelah era jaringan 3G dengan basis teknologi HSPA Evolution dengan kecepatan maksimal 21 Mbps.

Sampai saat ini, menurut Plt Dirjen Postel Kementerian Kominfo, Muhammad Budi Setiawan, sudah ada tiga operator seluler yang resmi mengajukan permohonan untuk menjajal LTE, teknologi seluler generasi keempat (4G). Operator itu adalah Telkomsel, Indosat, dan XL Axiata. "Sudah tiga operator yang ajukan proposal untuk trial LTE.

Layanan LTE pertama di dunia dibuka oleh TeliaSonera di dua kota Skandinavia yaitu Stockholm dan Oslo pada 14 Desember 2009. LTE adalah satu set perangkat tambahan ke Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) yang diperkenalkan pada 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 8. Banyak dari 3GPP Release 8 mengadopsi teknologi 4G, termasuk semua IP arsitektur jaringan.

LTE ini memberikan tingkat kapasitas downlink sedikitnya 100 Mbps, dan uplink paling sedikit 50 Mbps dan RAN round-trip kurang dari 10 ms. LTE mendukung operator bandwidth, dari 20 MHz turun menjadi 1,4 MHz dan mendukung pembagian frekuensi duplexing (FDD) dan waktu pembagian duplexing (TDD). Bagian dari standar LTE adalah Arsitektur Sistem Evolution, sebuah jaringan berbasis IP yang dirancang untuk menggantikan arsitektur GPRS Core Network dan memastikan dukungan untuk mobilitas antara beberapa non-sistem 3GPP, misalnya GPRS dan WiMax.

Keuntungan utama dengan LTE adalah throughput yang tinggi, latency rendah, plug and play, FDD dan TDD pada platform yang sama, peningkatan pengalaman pengguna akhir dan arsitektur sederhana yang mengakibatkan biaya operasional yang rendah. LTE akan juga mendukung teknologi sebelumnya seperti GSM, CDMAone, W-CDMA (UMTS) dan CDMA2000.

Beberapa Instansi yang melakukan riset di bidang LTE tergabung dalam sebuah project SOCRATES (Saya melakuakn riset di bidang load balancing WG3 di TU Braunschweig bersama Prof. Thomas Kuener dan Thomas Jansen dan di TU Eindhoven di bawah bimbingan Prof. Erik Fledderus) Instansi yang tergabung :

TU Braunschweig (IfN - Institut fuer Nachtrichten Technik) - Jerman

TNO - Belanda

Atesio - Jerman

Ericson - Finlandia

IBBT - Belgia

Vodavone - Inggris

Nokia Siemens - Jerman, Polandia

Ipad VS. WEpad (a.k.a. WeTab)

Ipad menurut saya adalah Iphone versi "besar" bentuk nya sama persis dan sama-sama tidak bisa multitasking. Berbeda dengan produk sejenis dari jerman tandingannya We pad atau We tab.

We Pad Touch Screen Features and Specifications:

• 11.6" touchscreen display
  
• With a massive 11.6” [1366x768] touchscreen
• 1.66 Ghz Atom N450 Processor
• GMA 3150 graphics
• UMTS modem
• Bluetooth
• WLANn
• 1.3mp web camera
• 16 GB storage, 32 GB SD card support
• SIM card slot, 2 USB ports
• GPS optional
• Flash card reader.

Dengan harga yang sama.... pilih yang mana ???
