iTunes 9 and Surprise in Your iPod Shuffle

Last month I'm just get my new iPod Shuffle (the 4 gigs model with silver color painted on it), the new one as you know is very small and dont have any control button in the device's body... so we can control it by only using the remote control in the headdset... the minus is we can't use the so called high qualiy third party vendor headset in this shuffle... but the plus one is you can't be totally deaf when you're using it.....

The Surprise is comming to guessing what's next in your shuffle.... although you can (now you can... yes it's true) organized your playlist... you can be also make the iTunes 9 filling your empty space with song(s) inyour itunes Library by checking in this combo box :



So... if you choose playlist "All Songs" you are listening to the playlist that you are never-ever created, sometimes, especially in my country... we store too many mp3 files in hard drive and didn't have much time to listen to them all... well with this new iPod Shuffle and iTunes 9... you can listen the "Unknon" and "Unexpected" track :D

Sometimes you don't like surprisingly momment, and if that case happen, if you prefer to hear your must favorites songs in your shuffle, then just check the Recently Played and Top Rated Playlist to sync list in your Shuffle device sync music setting.

Using Spaces to keep your desktop organized

Have you ever experienced this one? you opened to many apps in your computer, sometime you watch the report in PDF and need it to be still opened so you can quote it later easily, while working with pages 2009, and you need to switch (sometimes) to Windows XP because the Microsoft Office in Mac can't running some VBA and Macro..... and sometimes you need to explore the internet so you must keep the browser open to avoiding waiting time.... and then you'll see your desktop display will be like this one :



One thing I Like about Mac OSX Leopard (and above, since the new Snow Leopard also have this incredible features is, the existence of Spaces features for organizing your desktop when you working in your computer and using several apps for working and fun.... and to keep you working and have fun in same time is possible in Mac OSX, since you use computer that designed to working and not a computer that designed to make you tired :D

To keep your desktop organized we can combine Spaces and Exposure to making it more easier for use.... open your system preference....



Go to Expose and Spaces and click the icon to open the preference.....
And click the Spaces tab.... you can add more rows or columns to added more desktop Windows....


After that, give a come back visit to Exposure tab and set them all like this (or your favorite preferences)



Go to the screen edge where your setting can triggered the spaces apps, and you'll see all windows like this when spaces active and you use all windows event in spaces mode




And from that conditions, to make all things simple, why don't you spent a little time to organized your opened ap
plication and move all of them by dragging the application, one-by-one to another desktop, and grouping them all manualy....
Just drag and drop it....


In my example my final setting will be like this :



The Top-Left Desktop is my desktop where I'm put all my Safari Browser opened, the Right-Top is the desktop where I put other finder windows connected to anther Mac, so I Can access all old files and documents, the left-bottom desktop is the place for Windows XP VM-Ware emulation, and the last right-bottom I'm put all IM Client and mail window opened.... In this case I'm only using 2x2 size Spaces... you can add more desktop spaces n the preference.... hope this will help you to keep you organized and make your workhour fun and efficient :)

Corporate Social Responsbility Is an important agenda for business sustainability

Today many people seeing and take more attention to our social and ethical problems in our planet, and more and more people became more awareness to their consumption pattern, and they only wanted to buying from supplier that have fair trade will and green products.

Corporate Social Responsbility (CSR) it's not just a fancy things or something that can make a company name, brand, or marketing tools for increasing their value, but CSR is an action that must've been done and take for company sustainability as an effect from more aware and cautious customers.

The document that embeded in this article (created in Indonesian language) summarized the data for demand of CSR action from customers, and several arguments that CSR is more than marketing tools or something that can increase brand equity. Today... CSR is a part of business process.... and as a part of business process, it will affect in business sustainability for surviving the competition.

My Review
Do not imagine this film as a boring movie and is a film that can bring you the success of sleep asleep when you walk in the video stores and find the dvd of this movie, because this movie is one of the best documentaries available and capable makes you fascinated with the visual quality and the messages contained therein. Mostly the film is trying to remind us of how human is a species that is only 200,000 years old and managed to damage within 10 years will destroy all life earth, which has struggled to blend into one in the relationship mutual benefit for four billion years. Some of these films facts show how humans as a species of thought take advantage of 4 billion years of the formation of the earth and how in humans 200,000 years the earth brought to the brink destruction.

One of the interesting things from this film is not a movie film made the interests of profit, this film's success is measured by how many people who watch this movie and change their consumption patterns. So this movie can be downloaded freely on the internet, copied, and watched through Youtube legally. I myself get this film from My colleague who is chairman of one of the non-governmental organizations, Initially when I received the DVD of this movie I thought that this film will boring as any other documentary films, as well as to to confess, I just watched this movie three months after I received DVD is and how much I regret not watching this movie earlier. As casual film lovers in general, not a documentary film is something interesting in my life. But this movie makes me wonder visual quality, all parts of this film was recorded over the air very well, and after watching the DVD version of it, I download version of High Definition for playback in High Definition television. Music of the film is also very dramatic, the narrative of this film which contains data how humans destroy the earth, accompanied with scenes that are presented with music that matches the theme is presented, and his music could actually make the data that you can actually read dikoran or the Internet becomes the fact that you can not ignore and you hold full. Is remarkable this film is the story line, how the natural resources which has created 4 billion years of earth's formation out quickly because people demand more speed and more than what is already accepted at this time. Taking this film is also taken more than 50 countries, and also and shows that our earth is a unity, and responsibility for our actions can not be limited by boundaries terotorial because we demand action processed products, fresh vegetable imports contribute to the drying up of the Jordan, and still many other examples. The final part of this film gives us the facts that if humans continue to like this and maintain their consumption patterns in order to provide opportunities for multinational companies to continue to exploit nature, then in a shorter time our earth will not be a house that could gives us a chance to survive. And because of our earth not been home to humans only, then it's time for people to keep their own homes with regular lives and maintain their consumption patterns, something done by other species over 4 billion years and maintain order on earth, if other species can live well for it, why humans only bring in 200,000 years in the destruction of our earth? Something interesting enough for us to make reflections and can add our knowledge that what we are doing our environment, affect other parts of the earth, because we live in a house same .... Planet Earth .... The film is very good for you to watch together with family.

As a whole the visuals are incredible, the music is brilliant, and data-the latest data about the environment, is a film that could you enjoy with family and also can be used to teach ourselves and our family members that became the responsibility the actions of yourself is important and not the result of actions responsibility can be accepted by yourself, the environment and other people in the foreseeable future.
