Berhala Kok Mengaku Ada Tuhan, Iki Gendheng !!!

Sebutlah gerakan islam pemurnian yang kini sedang heboh menggemparkan warganet dan masyarakat, mengapa tidak ini diakibatkan dengan serangkaian aksi brutal yang dilakukan oleh gerakan islam pemurnian tersebut.

Gerakan islam pemurnian, memang agak ribet sih dalam penyebutannya dicoretan ini. Namun ada satu alasan saya tak menyebutkan nama pendek atau singkatan dari gerakan itu, mengapa? Tak lain adalah salah satu perhitungan jika akronim atau singkatan itu saya sebut justru itu namanya paid promote. Dan saya kan gak dapet royaltinya tu, jadi bolehkan saya pake alesan ini, biar gak seperti para buzzer yang tren sekarang cepat atau lambat dari pekerjaan ini anda akan mendapatkan mobil.

Lanjut singkat cerita aksi gerakan ini setelah mulai lemah dibagian di timur tengah sana, mereka dengan gesit langsung merambah ke wilayah asia. Wilayah yang tak sedikit pemikirannya masih belantara, ini cukup bagi mereka untuk mengeksploitasi disini ya disini.

Hutan belantara yang masih lemah dari perlindungan pemikiran mendalam dan ideologi manfaat di masyarakatnya.
Melihat misinya sih, mungkin kalian sudah tau jauh dan persis dari gerakan ini. Menggulingkan pemerintahan yang di anggap tirani dan menggantinya dengan khilafah, seperti itu "intinya".

Khilafah itu baik sebenarnya, namun nasibnya ia justru kalah datangnya dengan sistem republik yang lebih dulu dipilih oleh bapak pendiri bangsa kita. Dan salahnya justru kepentingan yang menunggangi khilafah dan pengaplikasiannya, pasang benderalah hitam putih, menulis surat ancaman, dan paling fatal menikam aparat pengaman yang mengamankan mereka sendiri.

Dari segerombolan fenomena ini, saya menggambarkan dua tokoh fiksi para mbangbung (orang yang tak jelas hidupnya) namun mekar hatinya, mekar dalam pemikirannya, dan manfaat ideologinya. Dua tokoh itu sebut saja Mulyono dan Maryono dua sahabat yang gemblung tak karuan.

Maryono ia mengambarkan sejumlah permasalahan yang terjadi di negeri hebat yang di bela oleh maha patih Gajdjah Mada. Maryono menuturkan yang sedang chaos saat ini adalah adanya para kaum "islam sejati" bahwa berhala yang tren kini adalah pancasila.

Maryono begitu memerah begitu mendengar ada sepucuk surat yang menyebutkan bahwa dasar negara ini adalah berhala Pancasila yang begitu banyak menyembahnya.

"Lak iki gendheng namanya" ujarnya.

"Berhala kok masih sempet mengakui tuhan. Dan dikorek lagi berhala kok mengaku ada tuhan yang maha Esa, yang terkandung dalam butir Pancasila"

Dilanjutnya "Namanya berhala ya berhala, suatu dzat yang diciptakan untuk disembah" jelasnya sewot.

"Berhala eksistensinya kok hanya timbul tenggelam dalam legitimasinya dimuka publik, berhala kok diam-diam. Mengaku dan sangat terusik dengan tameng keamanan yang melindungi dirinya sendiri"

Mulyono yang sedang lewat depan rumah si Mar, langsung kaget dan melonjak menanyakan reaksi dari yang didengarnya.

"Mas.. Kok zamane sekarang gendheng ya" sahut Muljono.

Maryono ketua geng mbangbung pun terkesan atas perkataan yang dilontarkan si Mul itu.

"Saiki nek ra gendheng ra mangan Mul" sahut senyum kecut Maryono, sambil mrengos ke arah Mul.

"Wo lah kowe podo ae gendheng Mar ditakon kok malah ra genah" tutup si Mul.

Redskins lose control of playoff hopes with loss to Panthers--News Media--

Reigning league MVP Cam Newton threw for 300 yards and 2 TDs

The Associated Press Posted: Dec 20, 2016 12:10 AM ET Last Updated: Dec 20, 2016 12:10 AM ET

Kirk Cousins threw an interception and fumbled near his goal line as the Washington Redskins coughed up their easiest path to the playoffs with a 26-15 loss to the defending NFC champion Carolina Panthers on Monday night.

Washington (7-6-1) could have clinched a playoff berth by winning its final three games but now needs help. Carolina (6-8) kept its astronomical wild-card hopes alive and dealt a serious blow to the Redskins' chances with two weeks left in the season.

After being picked off by Kurt Coleman in the first half to set up a Carolina field goal, Cousins was sacked by Wes Horton and fumbled on the first snap after halftime as the Panthers took over at the 1-yard line. They scored two plays later to take a 20-9 lead.

Cousins finished 32 of 47 for 316 yards with far too many missed throws in a game with such high stakes.

Reigning league MVP Cam Newton showed no ill effects from a shoulder injury suffered last week, throwing for 300 yards and two touchdowns as the Panthers took advantage of blunders by the Redskins, who lost their sixth consecutive Monday night home game.

It was Washington's most lopsided loss since being routed 38-16 by Pittsburgh in the season opener, also on a Monday night.

To be eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an artist must have released their first single or album at least 25 years prior to their nomination, so this year’s nominees must go back to 1991 or earlier.

Nine of the above artists are nominated for the first time: Bad Brains, Depeche Mode, Electric Light Orchestra, Jane’s Addiction, Joan Baez, Journey, Pearl Jam, Steppenwolf and Tupac Shakur. For Pearl Jam and Shakur, it’s also their first year of Hall of Fame eligibility. And for Shakur, 2016 is not only the 25th anniversary of his career as a recording artist, it also marks the 20th anniversary of his death — he was shot in 1996, and the murder has never been solved.

To decide the inductees, ballots will now be sent to more than 800 music industry insiders around the world. Fans also have a chance to help pick the inductees this year. From October 18 to December 5, you can visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website to vote on who the most deserving artists are.

Google Pixel Speaker Audio Distorting at High Volume-- News Media--

Boring design aside, the Google Pixel and Pixel XL are two of the best premium Android phones (if not the best) you can buy right now. While the Pixel phones impressed many at their launch, several issues have been cropping up one at a time.

A post from a Pixel XL owner, Ryan Lestage, on Google's official Pixel user community forum, from back on October 24, suggests the audio issues extend to all audio including "talk radio or music played in Chrome, Facebook, TuneIn Radio, YouTube, etc". The problem is that Google has yet to admit that there is a problem with the phones.

Buckman checks for the issue on every Pixel unit by playing the trailer of the upcoming The Mummy movie reboot.

Reddit user badmark created a thread about the problem yesterday, and it has gained quite a bit of traction. The fix to this issue could easily be distributed by Google via a software update, however, the tech giant is yet to even acknowledge that the issue exists.

Orrin Hancock, Pixel Community Manager at Google, assured users back in early November that Google is now investigating the issue. Not only that, but now reports are coming in that the speakers have a "crackling" problem. There have been numerous reports on Reddit and other forums about the Google Pixel's speaker and how it crackles at high volume. Still, this is a significant issue for a $649 smartphone from Google, and it's one worth trying to resolve.

We're going to put our own Pixel handset through this test later today, but looking back at our Google Pixel review, we note that the handset produced less distortion, not more, at max volume than the Nexus 6P. Some Reddit users who commented say they haven't seen the problem themselves, but the large majority is in agreement: the Pixel has a "crackling" problem under pretty random scenarios.

Acer TravelMate P246 Review-- News Media---

Budget-minded business users will find a lot to like in Acer's TravelMate P246. The 14-inch business laptop boasts a sharp 14-inch display, a really comfy keyboard and, most importantly, a superaffordable price. Plus, workers who need to install legacy software will appreciate the optical DVD drive. I just wish the $500 laptop lasted longer on a charge. A distinct lack of security options, and a hefty design, are two additional marks against it.

The TravelMate P246 isn't much to look at. The system sports a boxy, unassuming design, with gently rounded corners. The black, plastic lid is smooth to the touch, but I tried to keep my hands off it because it's a fingerprint magnet.

You'd expect it would be easier to travel with a laptop called the TravelMate. However, the P246 tips the scales at 5.1 lbs. (plus an extra half-pound for the charger), making this machine noticeably heavier than comparable systems we've reviewed. Dell's Latitude 14 3470 weighs 4.4 lbs., and Lenovo's ThinkPad 13 is a lot lighter, at 3.14 lbs., though that system sports a slightly smaller, 13.3-inch display

The TravelMate P246 is pretty chunky, too, measuring 1.18 inches thick. That's thicker than the Latitude (0.9 inches) and ThinkPad (0.78 inches). Most of that extra thickness can probably be chalked up to the optical DVD drive in the TravelMate P246, which isn't something you'll find in many modern laptops. The extra thickness is still something to keep in mind for workers who have limited space in their travel bags.

The DVD drive, which pops out of the system's right edge, is potentially a handy feature for office workers who might use it to install older software. The trade-off is that this drive makes the system thicker and heavier than it would otherwise be.

Otherwise, you get a generous array of ports on the TravelMate P246. The right edge has two USB 2.0 ports, while the left edge adds a USB 3.0 port, VGA and HDMI video-out ports, and an Ethernet port. Finally, the front edge has an SD card reader to expand the system's 500GB of onboard storage

The TravelMate P246 sports a 14-inch, 1920 x 1080-pixel display that cranks out crisp text and clear images, though colors look washed out. When I watched the HD trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming on the P246, the web-slinger's bright red suit appeared dull, though I could make out tons of detail in the flying debris in several action scenes. 

The screen is nice and bright, too, topping out at 243 nits. That slightly outshines the ThinkPad 13 and Latitude 14 3470, making the TravelMate's screen easier to see outdoors or in direct sunlight. Plus, the display comes with a nice anti-glare coating that wards off distracting reflections. Viewing angles could be better, though; the screen starts to wash out when viewed slightly from the side.

Keyboard 

The TravelMate's best feature is probably its comfortable keyboard. Typing on the system just feels great. It offers a generous 1.51 millimeters of travel, which is right on par with what we look for in a great laptop keyboard. Deep key travel provides a comfortable, desktop-like typing experience, since your fingers don't "bottom out" with each key strike. 

The keys also feel snappy, with plenty of tactile feedback. I typed this entire review on the TravelMate's keyboard and never once found myself wishing for the mechanical keyboard on my desk, and that's all I can ask for in a laptop keyboard.

Security

Because this is a computer marketed as a business-class system, it's disappointing to see that Acer's TravelMate P246 lacks business-class security features altogether. 

For starters, there's no fingerprint reader, though that's typical for a budget-priced PC like this. Worse is the lack of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a feature that enables hardware-based encryption on other business laptops. You'll find a TPM in both the ThinkPad 13 and Dell Inspiron 14 3470, though it's worth pointing out that both those systems cost slightly more than the TravelMate. The sole security feature on Acer's system is a lock slot on the system's left edge, which allows you to physically chain the notebook to your desk to deter thieves.  

Acer's more-premium TravelMate P4 and P6 lines offer much better security options than the budget-priced P2 line.

TravelMate's short battery life will hold mobile workers back. The system ran for just 5 hours and 2 minutes on our battery-life test, which simulates continuous web browsing over Wi-Fi. Competing systems last far, far longer. The Latitude 14 ran for twice as long (10:35), and the ThinkPad offers pretty good longevity as well (9:13). Considering that the laptop category average is around 8 hours, the TravelMate's anemic battery life just doesn't measure up.

Performance

My TravelMate P246 review unit was speedy enough to tackle moderate multitasking without any slowdown. The system is outfitted with a 1.7-GHz Intel Core i5-4210 processor with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. I did notice a few seconds of occasional lag while switching between editing a larger spreadsheet and browsing through a dozen tabs in my Chrome web browser, though.

The TravelMate racked up a mediocre score of 4,039 on the Geekbench 3 benchmark test, which measures overall performance. That's good enough for daily productivity tasks, but it's squarely below the laptop category average of 5,570, as well as the Core i3-6100U-powered ThinkPad 13 (5,230) and the Core i7-6500U-powered Latitude 14 3470 (6,446).

Acer's laptop fared better on our spreadsheet test, matching 20,000 names to their addresses in 6 minutes and 20 seconds, which is just a few seconds slower than average. Still, the Latitude 14 finished in a much speedier 4 minutes and 3 seconds. The ThinkPad 13, meanwhile, finished in 5 minutes and 13 seconds.

Bottom line

The TravelMate P246's top selling point is its low price. For just $499, you get a sharp, 14-inch display and a better keyboard than you'll find in other budget-priced systems. Evaluating the optical DVD is more complicated; some office workers will love the ability to use the drive to install older software, while others will lament that the rarely used drive makes their laptops thicker and heavier than they need to be.

But workers can get a better laptop for just a little more money. Lenovo's ThinkPad 13 costs $584 when similarly equipped and offers stronger security options to boot, though it also has a smaller, 13.3-inch display. Dell's Latitude 14 3470 is another strong option that also boasts better security credentials and much better battery life than the TravelMate, and it costs $589.

The TravelMate is worth a look for cash-strapped workers who want a DVD drive and don't plan to work away from a power outlet for long. But most workers will find they have better options in the same price range.

Acer Chromebook 15 Core i3 $344-- News Media--

If you’re looking for a new Chromebook with a lot of desktop real estate, Amazon may have just the deal for you. The Acer Chromebook 15 has seen many variations and quite a few refreshes but few rock the horsepower of the CB5-571 equipped with 4GB ram and the 5th generation Intel Core i3 processor.

Combined with a full HD 15.6″ display, the Acer 15 makes for a perfect at home laptop. I, personally, worked from the Celeron version of this Chromebook for a few months this year and found very few tasks it couldn’t handle. The Core i3 model is known to get Octane scores over 24,000. If you’re not familiar with these benchmarks trust us when we say it will more than exceed the average users needs.

Another great feature of the Acer 15 are the deck-mounted, upward facing speakers. It’s what made me fall in love with the device from the get-go. They have a rich, unhindered sound which is very rare for a laptop computer. The only drawback for me was the weight/size. I’m almost always on the go with my Chromebook and moving to a 14″ machine was a night and day difference. But, if you like a large desktop, great sound and great performance, this is the machine for you.

Here’s a highlight of some the Acer’s key specs:

5th Generation Intel Core i3-5005U Processor (2.0GHz, 3MB L3 cache)

Google Chrome Operating System

15.6″ Full HD Widescreen LED-backlit Display (1920 x 1080 resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio)

4GB DDR3L SDRAM Memory

32GB SSD

Intel HD Graphics 5500

High-Definition Audio Support

1 – USB 2.0 Port

Normally, if you can find one, the Acer Chromebook 15 retails for $449. You can pick one up today from Amazon for $343.35 and have it under the tree before Christmas. Grab one at the link below.

Red OPPO R9s Launched In China For $403--News Media--

OPPO has been climbing the ranks in the smartphone market lately, especially in the Chinese smartphone market, where it recently beat the likes of Huawei and Xiaomi, to become the top Chinese smartphone manufacturer of the third quarter of 2016. Huawei and Xiaomi, have constantly been at the top of the pack these past couple of years, but both companies have been facing stiffer competition from the likes of OPPO and Vivo. OPPO is mainly known for its mid-range smartphones, which includes the OPPO F1s, OPPO R9s and R9s Plus.

Pre-orders for the smartphone has already been open to customers, but there is no word on whether or not this new color variant will be available outside of China for the time being. It should also be noted that the larger OPPO R9s Plus, which comes with a 6.0-inch display, didn’t receive any new color options. Apart from being a new color, the internals of the Red OPPO R9s, is identical to the other colors.
