Wikipedia took Rp 1.4 trillion in order to Continued Online

Wikipedia often a referral sites to seek information about a lot of things. However, the free encyclopedia site is currently dying due to lack of funding.

Wikimedia, the organization that houses Wikipedia, recently made a fundraising campaign to coincide with the anniversary moment Wikipedia 15th in 2016's.

ColekcolekTekno quoted from Engadget, Monday (01/18/2016), Wikipedia aims to obtain funds of 100 million US dollars (approximately US $ 1.4 trillion) in the next 10 years, or at least 10 million US dollars per year.

The funds are used to make the information provider's site could still online.

Part of the funds will also be used to expand into the mobile realm, as it has begun Wikipedia team today, as well as add video content in it.

Wikimedia took Tides Foundation in fund-raising program. Tides Foundation itself has a 40 year track record in managing funds donated to many organizations, non-profit.

Wikipedia currently has claimed around 35 million articles in various languages, and is used by over a million people worldwide.

"The site is to be the only donation site the most visited on the internet, your help is needed," wrote Wikimedia fundraising site.

Google and Lenovo Expand the Mobile Project Tango

Lenovo and Google officially announced the cooperation in the development of smartphones that will be equipped with Tango Project.

What exactly is the Tango Project? He is a mapping project room that is independently developed by Google. A device with a technology that can be used to capture images of three-dimensional (3D) of space scanned by the sensor.

3D features in this tablet is useful for mapping project rooms and other visual work, or even at a later date could be useful in the gaming industry.

As ColekcolekTekno summarized from Ubergizmo, Friday (08/01/2016), this technology would be very useful for those who want to design the furniture of the room and know what works before purchase.

Not yet known as to what this device will be. Both Lenovo and Google is still so much to reveal information about this device.

Several possibilities, the results will be released berbentang allegedly homemade 6.5 inches. The screen size is less common, given that most smartphones are rarely has a 6 inch screen above.

Alternatively, the smartphone's official name is not known to be equipped cengan chipset made by Qualcomm.

Neither the price nor the release date of this device is still mysterious. However, both companies are targeting completion of the device in mid-2016 with the tag of under 500 dollars, or about $ 7 million.

Lenovo PC industry Sure Not Dead

LAS VEGAS, Although the trend of smartphones and tablets continues to climb, the PC market (desktop and laptop) is still not dead. At least, according to Lenovo, there was a chance for them to increase market share in the segment.

Globally, PC shipments to the rest of the world in 2015 and then it can be said to fall. IDC, in its report last October noted that PC shipments in the third quarter of 2015 were 71 million units, representing a decrease of 10.8 percent year on year.

For Lenovo itself, the benefits of the PC this year fell 14 percent. In the period of 2015/2016 they note PCs accounted for 70 percent of the total acquisition of the company, whereas 84 percent the previous year.

But Lenovo did not give up in this segment. The company now has 21 percent market share of PCs around the world, the target could be increased to 30 percent.

"Twenty-one percent share is the highest value for the players in this industry. We are number one in the Asia Pacific region and still plenty of room growth," said Chief Operation Officer of Lenovo Asia Pacific, Amar Babu in the event Lenovo at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2016, Las Vegas, USA, on Wednesday (06/01/2016).

"We will not stop. The target we wanted to drive PC market share to 30 percent. Therefore, you will see a lot of new product lines," he added.

In the grand feast of the technology world, Lenovo also showcased a number of the latest PC hardware ranging from laptops to desktops.

One of the underdog is a family ThinkPad X, in which there are two types of laptops that X1 and X1 Carbon Yoga.

Carbon X1 screen can be bent up to 180 degrees straight, while the X1 Yoga can be rotated up to 360 degrees. They both have a light weight, screen size of 14 inches and an Intel Core i7 vPro.

There was also a mini desktop IdeaCentre 610S. The shape of the mini size CPU with a projector attached to the top.

"Many say the PC sales decline, but we do not experience it. We're still number one in terms of PC sales," he added. Director of Worldwide Product Marketing, Lenovo Group Commercial, Steve Gilbert, pointing ThinkPad X1 Carbon on ColekcolekTekno.

The worst decline in PC Record

Gartner and IDC, two analysts institutions of the world, agreed that the level of computer equipment alias PC shipments globally continues to decline.

In fact, IDC to mention that the rate of PC shipments decreased year-on-year in 2015 the largest.

According to Gartner, global PC shipments in the fourth quarter of 2015 only reached 75.7 million units, down 8.3 percent from the same quarter the previous year.

Meanwhile, the different methods of analysis, IDC noted that the rate of decline year-on-year is slightly larger than Gartner. IDC said PC shipments decline to number 71.9 million units, or about 10.6 percent, compared to the same period in 2014.

Both institutions analyst noted that 2015 as the worst year for the PC market. For the first time since 2008, the rate of PC shipments fell below 300 million units.

Gartner noted that PC shipments in 2015 only reached 288.7 million units, down from 313.6 million units in 2014. IDC did not give the exact figure of the number of annual shipments, but said that number was below 300 million units.

Because smartphones and tablets

Still the same as previous years, both IDC and Gartner concluded that smartphones and tablets have become one of the causes of the decline in PC shipments. Consumers prefer to buy both types of devices rather than PCs.

Wearable devices, such as smart watches and health monitoring tool, also attracted the attention of consumers, especially during the holidays.

"Laptops are no longer a desired gift during the holidays. At the same time, consumers switch to other electronic devices, such as TVs and wearable," said Mikako Kitagawa, principal analyst at Gartner, as ColekcolekTekno summarized from Cnet, on Wednesday (13/1 / 2016).

In addition, IDC also blamed the economic recession which occurred in 2015 and as one of the causes of this decline in PC shipments.

PC shipment figures in 2015 did not show signs of improvement from the previous. However, both Gartner and IDC remains optimistic the PC industry will revive again in 2016. Windows 10 is believed to attract consumers to purchase a PC.

"We continue to believe that the majority of users will buy another PC, motivated new products and prices more attractive. Adoption commercially from Windows 10 is expected to accelerate, and the level of consumer purchasing should be more stable in the second half of 2016," wrote IDC.

60 Years Not Solved, Puzzle Largest about the impact of Solar Eclipse

Total solar eclipse can be seen from 12 provinces in Indonesia on March 9, 2016 could be an opportunity to solve one of the biggest puzzles in science. Puzzle unsolved for 60 years was associated anomalies pendulum motion when a total solar eclipse.

Emerging puzzle originated from the French scientist Maurice Allais observed during a solar eclipse June 30, 1954. Nobel Economics in 1988 are also fond of astronomy would see the pendulum swing toward underwent major changes during an eclipse.

Under normal conditions, the direction of the swing of the pendulum turns clockwise at a speed of 0.19 degrees per minute. Change is actually reasonable because it is associated with the Earth's rotation. However, in the observations in 1954, Allais found that the direction of the swing of the pendulum turns 13.5 degrees and counter-clockwise.

Allais observed repeated on October 2, 1959 solar eclipse of Saint-Germain-en-Laye in France. He encountered the same phenomenon but can not explain why. Anomalies that can not be revealed the cause was later called Allais Effect.

Answer search

Outlined on the website National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a number of scientists who study physics and astronomy moved outlines Allais Effect. They conducted an experiment to confirm the reset. Basically the question: Is the anomalies that were found are related Allais eclipse?

Scientists GT Jeverdan observe the motion of the pendulum during a solar eclipse on February 15, 1961 from Romania. He met, pendulum motion slowed down 1 per 2000 during an eclipse. However, the observation was published in the journal Jeverdan English.

EJ Saxl and M Allen tried to confirm Allais Effect by observing the motion of the torsion pendulum. When used Allais Foucault pendulum to move sideways, torsion pendulum moves up and down. The pendulum consists of a load suspended by a spring.

Saxl and Allen were observed at Harvard University in 1970 found that the time required to perform a torsional pendulum swing increases during eclipses. However, the experimental Finnish scientist named T. Kuusela at the solar eclipse July 22 1990 in contrast to the observations Saxl and Allen.

In 2009, eight gravimeter and two pendulums are used on the observation of the solar eclipse January 26, 2009 in China. One of the scientists confirmed anomalies as encountered Allais. However, the observation is not published in any scientific journal.

Scientists attempt to explain the anomaly encountered Allais. The general view, a solar eclipse will affect the earth's gravity and rotation. Allais Effect is evidence of the influence. However, there are other explanations.

Research T Van Flandern of Meta Research and XS The University of Wales Swansena in the UK, published in Physical Review in 2003 revealed that the anomalies that were found could be because eclipse Allais causes cooling in the upper atmosphere that affects the density and movement of air masses.

Efforts Bosscha

Head of the observatory, Mahasena Son, said that the observation Allais Effect is still continuing. "We still can not explain the exact cause," he said. "The moment of eclipse in Indonesia could be our chance to answer."

Mahasena said the observatory is currently developing a pendulum with the sensor. The device will be used to confirm Allais Effect. "If we come across, this would be an interesting research report," said Mahasena when found Kompas.com, Friday.

Team observatory will conduct field observations Kalora, Poso, Central Sulawesi. Together Universe Awareness (Unawe), Bosscha team will also disseminate astronomy and eclipse observations to the citizens. Poso itself is one of the areas in Indonesia will experience a total solar eclipse this year.

Netflix Will Block "Cheaters access" to its Services

Netflix will block the use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access the movie streaming service.

It leveled VP of Content Delivery Architecture Netflix David Fullagar today, Friday (16/01/2015), via the official website of the online movie rental service.

VPN is a private connection that is accessible via the public network. VPN Netflix could fool the system by giving the IP address information "false" in accordance states that the user wants.

Proxy limited it allows users to access Netflix in a country even though the service has not expanded into the country.

Fullagar said it was time the VPN is blocked. Because, now Netflix is ??already present in 190 countries.

"If our content is available globally, there is no reason to use a proxy to trick users of our system," he said.

Cheating netizen trick VPN system with long-standing. But Netflix does not want to be careless with immediately block the proxies for services previously only available in 60 countries.

Earlier this year, Netflix to bring its services to 130 other countries, including Indonesia. Nevertheless, there are still reasons to keep using VPN.

VPN still need to be used because it is not uniform collection of films in each country. For example, Sleepless in Seattle, starring Meg Ryan is available in Indonesia, but not in the United States.

By using a VPN, customers can watch entire movies owned by Netflix.

Blocking VPN is scheduled to go into effect next few weeks. Along with that, Fullagar promised Netflix will continue to expand the scope of its services.

"We strive to provide our content to consumers wherever in order to enjoy Netflix without a proxy. That is our goal." he said.

Fear of "Left", Facebook Prepare New Browser

Social network Facebook testing new browser that is designed so that users do not leave the application when opening a link that is shared through Facebook.

The integrated browser (in-app browser) now has several new features making it more resembles an internet browser.

ColekcolekTekno quoted from The Next Web, Monday (01/18/2016), the old version of the browser only displays a link page, and open hyperlinks to other links.

Latest browser now lets users type in the URL yourself because there is the URL address at the top of the browser.

Thus, Facebook users can visit other internet pages without having to leave the Facebook application, for example, when trying to check details or any other supporting data of an article being read.

In addition, there is a back and forward button, the button bookmarks the page, and the Menu button at the bottom, in addition there is also information about the popularity of a post.

In addition to testing the new browser, Facebook also is trying Instant Articles which features news articles shared on Facebook can be displayed more quickly.

They both have one goal, that users remain at home staring at the screen up.

Not yet known whether Facebook will launch a separate application or not their browsers. Facebook is currently the focus is to improve the experience of using a browser.
