Sony Ericsson's new K220 is a virtual doppelganger of the just-announced K200 candy bar. On the plus side, the K220 adds an FM radio, complete with 10 presets (no word on whether the presets can be auto-programmed) and a radio alarm clock. On the minus side, the dual-band GSM / GPRS phone lacks the K200's world-phone abilities, a disappointment for globe-trotting mobile chatters.
Otherwise, the K220 shares most of the K200's features, including a VGA camera, 2MB of on-board memory (good for about 40 images), an IR port, a 300-contact phone book, SMS and MMS messaging, a WAP browser and a speakerphone. The 128 x 128-pixel, 65,000-color CSTN display should be adequate for gazing at your snapshots, although we're anticipating a noticeable screen-door effect. Available in frost white and ocean blue colors, the K220 should be available in the second quarter of 2007.
I bought it last week. With minimum budget i have to feel satisfied with its feature ^_^

Hadist riwayat Abu Said Al-Khudri ra.
Bahwa kaum muslimin pada masa Rasulullah saw. bertanya: “Wahai Rasulullah, apakah kami dapat melihat Tuhan kami di hari kiamat?” Rasulullah saw. bersabda: “Ya!” Kemudian beliau melanjutkan: “Apakah kalian terhalang melihat matahari di siang hari yang cerah, yang tidak ada awan sedikit pun? Apakah kalian terhalang melihat bulan pada malam purnama yang cerah tanpa awan sedikit pun?” Kaum muslimin menjawab: “Tidak, wahai Rasulullah.”
Rasulullah saw. bersabda: “Kalian tidak akan terhalang melihat Allah Ta’ala pada hari kiamat, sebagaimana kalian tidak terhalang melihat salah satu dari matahari dan bulan.”
Ketika hari kiamat terjadi, ada penyeru yang mengumumkan: “Setiap umat hendaklah mengikuti apa yang dahulu disembahnya. Maka tidak tersisa orang-orang yang dahulu menyembah selain Allah yakni berhala, kecuali mereka berjatuhan ke dalam neraka.” Hingga yang tinggal hanya orang-orang yang menyembah Allah ada yang baik dan ada yang jahat serta sisa-sisa Ahli Kitab, maka dipanggillah orang-orang Yahudi. Mereka ditanya: Apa yang dahulu kalian sembah? Mereka menjawab: “Kami menyembah Uzair anak Allah.” Dikatakan: “Kalian salah! Allah tidak menjadikan seorang pun sebagai sahabat atau anak. Lalu apa yang kalian inginkan?” Mereka menjawab: “Kami haus, ya Tuhan kami berilah kami minum.” Lalu ditunjukkan pada mereka: “Kenapa kalian tidak datang ke sana?” Mereka digiring ke neraka, seolah-olah neraka itu fatamorgana yang saling menghancurkan. Mereka pun berjatuhan ke dalam neraka.
Kemudian orang-orang Nasrani dipanggil. Mereka ditanya: “Apa yang dahulu kalian sembah?” Mereka menjawab: “Kami menyembah Isa Almasih anak Allah.” Dikatakan kepada mereka: “Kalian salah! Allah tidak menjadikan seorang pun sebagai sahabat atau anak. Apa yang kalian inginkan?” Mereka menjawab: “Kami haus ya Tuhan, berilah kami minum.” Lalu ditunjukkan pada mereka: Kenapa kalian tidak datang ke sana? Mereka digiring ke neraka Jahanam, seolah-olah neraka itu fatamorgana yang saling menghancurkan. Mereka pun berguguran ke dalam neraka.
Ketika yang tinggal hanya orang-orang yang dahulu menyembah Allah Taala (yang baik dan yang jahat), maka Allah datang kepada mereka dalam bentuk yang lebih rendah daripada bentuk yang mereka ketahui. Dia berfirman: “Apa yang kalian tunggu? Setiap umat mengikuti apa yang dahulu disembah.” Mereka mengucapkan: “Ya Tuhan kami, di dunia kami memisahkan diri dari orang-orang yang sebenarnya sangat kami butuhkan (untuk membantu kehidupan di dunia) dan kami tidak mau berkawan dengan mereka (karena menyimpang dari jalan yang digariskan oleh agama).”
Allah berfirman: “Akulah Tuhan kalian!” Mereka mengucap: “Kami mohon perlindungan kepada Allah darimu. Kami tidak akan menyekutukan Allah dengan apapun” (ini diucapkan dua atau tiga kali), sampai sebagian mereka hampir-hampir berubah (berbalik dari kebenaran, karena cobaan yang sangat berat yang berlaku saat itu). Allah berfirman: “Apakah antara kalian dan Dia ada tanda-tanda, sehingga dengan demikian kalian dapat mengenal-Nya?” Mereka menjawab: “Ya, ada.” Lalu disingkapkanlah keadaan yang mengerikan itu. Setiap orang yang hendak bersujud kepada Allah dengan keinginan sendiri, pasti mendapat izin Allah. Sedangkan orang yang akan bersujud karena takut atau pamer, tentu Allah menjadikan punggungnya menyatu (sehingga tidak dapat sujud). Setiap kali hendak sujud, ia terjungkal pada tengkuknya. Kemudian mereka mengangkat kepala mereka, sementara itu Allah telah berganti rupa dalam bentuk yang mereka lihat pertama kali.
Allah berfirman: “Akulah Tuhan kalian.” Mereka menyahut: “Engkau Tuhan kami.” Kemudian suatu jembatan dibentangkan di atas neraka Jahanam dan syafaat diperbolehkan. Mereka berkata: “Ya Allah, selamatkanlah, selamatkanlah.” Ada yang bertanya: “Ya Rasulullah, apakah jembatan itu?” Rasulullah saw. bersabda: “Tempat berpijak yang licin (menggelincirkan). Padanya terdapat besi berkait dan besi berduri. Di Najed ada tumbuhan berduri yang disebut Sakdan. Seperti itulah besi-besi berkaitnya.”
Orang-orang mukmin melewati jembatan tersebut ada yang secepat kejapan mata, ada yang seperti kilat, seperti angin, seperti burung, seperti kuda atau unta yang kencang larinya. Mereka terbagi menjadi tiga kelompok, golongan selamat sama sekali, golongan yang terkoyak-koyak tapi dapat bebas dan golongan yang terjerumus ke dalam neraka Jahanam. Pada saat orang-orang mukmin telah terbebas dari neraka, maka demi Dzat yang menguasai diriku, tidak ada orang yang sangat menaruh perhatian dalam meraih kebenaran, melebihi orang-orang mukmin yang mencari kebenaran kepada Allah demi kepentingan saudara-saudara mereka yang masih berada di neraka.
Mereka berkata: “Wahai Tuhan kami, mereka dahulu berpuasa bersama kami, salat dan beribadah haji.” Lalu difirmankan kepada mereka: “Keluarkanlah orang-orang yang kalian kenal. Maka wajah mereka diharamkan atas neraka.” Mereka mengeluarkan banyak orang dari neraka. Ada yang sudah terbakar hingga separuh betisnya dan ada yang sudah sampai ke lututnya. Orang-orang mukmin itu berkata: “Ya Tuhan kami, di dalam neraka tidak ada lagi seorang pun yang Engkau perintahkan untuk dikeluarkan.”
Allah berfirman: “Kembalilah (lihatlah kembali)! Barang siapa yang kalian temukan di hatinya ada kebaikan meski hanya seberat dinar. Keluarkanlah.” Kemudian mereka dapat mengeluarkan banyak orang. Lalu mereka berkata: “Ya Tuhan kami! Kami tidak tahu apakah di neraka masih ada orang yang Engkau perintahkan untuk dikeluarkan.”
Allah berfirman: “Kembalilah (lihatlah kembali)! Barang siapa yang kalian temukan di hatinya ada kebaikan maski hanya seberat setengah dinar, keluarkanlah.” Mereka dapat mengeluarkan lagi banyak orang. Setelah itu mereka berkata: “Ya Tuhan kami! Kami tidak tahu, apakah di sana masih ada seseorang yang Engkau perintahkan untuk dikeluarkan.”
Allah berfirman: “Kembalilah (lihatlah kembali)! Barang siapa yang kalian temukan di dalam hatinya terdapat kebaikan meski hanya seberat atom, keluarkanlah.” Lagi-lagi mereka dapat mengeluarkan banyak orang. Kemudian mereka berkata: “Ya Tuhan kami. Kami tidak tahu apakah di sana masih ada pemilik kebaikan.” Abu Said Al-Khudri berkata: Jika kalian tidak mempercayaiku mengenai hadis ini, maka bacalah firman Allah: “Sesungguhnya Allah tidak menganiaya seseorang walaupun sebesar atom. Dan jika ada kebaikan sebesar atom, niscaya Allah akan melipat-gandakannya dan memberikan dari sisi-Nya pahala yang besar.”
Allah Ta'ala berfirman: “Para malaikat telah memohon syafaat, para nabi telah memohon syafaat dan orang-orang mukmin juga telah memohon syafaat. Yang tinggal hanyalah Zat yang Maha Penyayang di antara semua yang penyayang.” Lalu Allah mengambil dari neraka dan mengeluarkan dari sana sekelompok orang yang sama sekali tidak pernah beramal baik. (Saat itu) mereka telah menjadi arang hitam.
Mereka dilempar ke sebuah sungai dekat mulut surga, yang disebut Sungai Kehidupan. Kemudian mereka keluar seperti tumbuhan kecil keluar dari lumpur banjir. Bukankah kalian sering melihat tumbuhan kecil di sela-sela batu atau pohon, di mana bagian yang terkena sinar matahari akan berwarna sedikit kuning dan hijau, sedangkan yang berada di keteduhan menjadi putih?
Para sahabat menyela: “Seolah-olah baginda dahulu pernah menggembala di dusun.” Rasulullah saw. meneruskan: “Lalu mereka keluar bagaikan mutiara. Di leher mereka ada kalung, sehingga para ahli surga dapat mengenali mereka. Mereka adalah orang-orang yang dibebaskan Allah, yang dimasukkan oleh Allah ke dalam surga, tanpa amal yang mereka kerjakan dan tanpa kebaikan yang mereka lakukan.”
Kemudian Allah berfirman: “Masuklah kalian ke dalam surga. Apapun yang kalian lihat, itu adalah untuk kalian.” Mereka berkata: “Ya Tuhan kami, Engkau telah memberi kami pemberian yang belum pernah Engkau berikan kepada seorang pun di antara orang-orang di seluruh alam.”
Allah berfirman: “Di sisiku ada pemberian untuk kalian yang lebih baik daripada pemberian ini.” Mereka berkata: “Ya Tuhan kami, apa lagi yang lebih baik daripada pemberian ini?” Allah berfirman: “Ridha-Ku, sehingga Aku tidak akan murka kepada kalian sesudah itu, selamanya.”
Suatu ketika, ada seorang anak laki-laki yang bertanya kepada ibunya. "Ibu, mengapa ibu menangis?" Ibunya menjawab, "sebab Ibu adalah seorang wanita nak." "Aku tak mengerti." kata si anak lagi. Ibunya hanya tersenyum dan memeluknya dengan erat. "Nak, kamu tak akan pernah mengerti.... ."
Kemudian anak itu bertanya kepada ayahnya. "Ayah, mengapa Ibu menangis? Sepertinya ibu menangis tanpa ada sebab yang jelas?" Sang Ayah menjawab, "Semua wanita memang menangis tanpa alasan." Hanya itu jawaban yang bisa diberikan ayahnya. Lama kemudian, si anak itu tumbuh menjadi remaja dan tetap bertanya-tanya, mengapa wanita menangis.
Pada suatu malam, ia bermimpi dan bertanya kepada Allah. "Ya Allah, mengapa wanita mudah sekali menangis?" Dalam mimpinya Allah menjawab "Saat kuciptakan wanita, Aku membuatnya menjadi sangat utama. Kuciptakan bahunya, agar mampu menahan seluruh beban dunia dan isinya, walaupun juga, bahu itu harus cukup nyaman dan lembut untuk menahan kepala bayi yang sedang tidur.
Kuberikan wanita kekuatan dapat melahirkan dan mengeluarkan bayi dari rahimnya, walau seringpula, ia kerap berulangkali menerima cerca dari anaknya itu. Kuberikan keperkasaan yang akan membuatnya tetap bertahan, pantang menyerah, saat semua orang sudah putus asa.
Pada wanita Kuberikan kesabaran, untuk merawat keluarganya, walau letih, walau sakit, walau lelah, tanpa berkeluh kesah. Kuberikan wanita perasaan peka dan kasih sayang, untuk mencintai semua anaknya dalam kondisi apapun dan dalam situasi apapun. Walau tak jarang anak-anaknya itu melukai perasaan hatinya.
Kuberikan wanita kekuatan untuk membimbing suaminya, melalui masa-masa sulit, dan menjadi pelindung baginya. Sebab bukankah tulang rusuklah yang melindungi setiap hati dan jantung agar tak terkoyak? Kuberikan kepadanya kebijaksanaan dan kemampuan untuk memberikan pengertian dan menyadarkan bahwa suami yang baik adalah yang tak pernah melukai istrinya.
Dan akhirnya kuberikan ia air mata agar dapat mencurahkan segala perasaannya. inilah yang khusus kuberikan kepada wanita, agar dapat digunakan kapanpun ia inginkan. Hanya inilah kelemahan yang dimiliki wanita, walaupun sebenarnya air mata ini adalah air mata kehidupan."
Maka dekatkanlah diri kita pada sang Ibu jikalau beliau masih hidup, karena di kakinyalah kita menemukan surga. Namun begitu, surgakah atau cinta dan kasih sayang dari ibu yang kau harapkan…? Ketika melahirkanmu, memeliharamu, dan bahkan membekalimu dengan segala yang ia punyai untuk kau menghadapi kehidupanmu, ibu tak pernah mengharap balasmu, pun tak pernah terpikir mengharapkan surga karena apa yang telah dia lakukan untukmu…
Memang benar surgamu berada di telapak kaki ibumu, tapi bijakkah jika kita menyayangi ibu hanya karena mengharap surga dari-Nya !? Cintai dan sayangilah ibumu hanya karena Allah, bukan karena siapapun, atau bahkan bukan karena mengharap surga.
Karena sesungguhnya kasih sayang ibumu adalah kasih sayang dari Allah SWT…
Allah mengilhami jiwa manusia dengan kebaikan dan keburukan, beruntunglah siapa yang mensucikannya, dan merugilah mereka yang mengotorinya.

Many people marketing a business on the Internet have heard of Google AdWords at one point or another. You can do certain things to make Adwords profitable. Consequently, you can nearly lose your shirt as well if you lack a solid understanding of AdWords & how it really works.
Google is all about relevancy. Google places a huge emphasis on this for their users and this is a key central concept in understanding.
You can avoid getting charged $5 or $10 for a click if you take some precautionary but often necessary steps.
1. Create an ad campaign that closely matches similar keywords.
For example, you sell dog grooming hair brushes.
Your initial thought may be to bid on keywords like "pet" and "pet supplies." Google considers these as general keywords. People looking for dog grooming hair brushes will not most likely look for "pet supplies."
The person looking for a dog grooming hair brush already knows what he or she wants. You want your ad to target that person directly and your conversation rates will increase.
Group and bid on keywords like "dog grooming supplies," "dog grooming brushes," and "dog grooming hair brushes." Each of these keyword phrases has one thing in common: the phrase "dog grooming." These are relevant. Make sure each keyword in each ad group has one common word or phrase.
2. Make sure the body copy contains keywords.
When you write the actual copy for your ads, you need to have the keywords you bid on written into the ad.
This helps driver laser focused traffic to your site, Google rewards you by having a higher position for lower cost, your ad is shown more and you please the Google users because you provide exactly what they are looking for.
(Hint: The name of the game is relevancy).
3. Put your keyword in the Adwords ad headline, body and display URL address.
When someone searches for a specific keyword, all the listings that contain that keyword, whether it is in the metatags, in the name of the web address or in the headline, are bolded to make it stand out to the searcher.
In this way, everyone wins. The user gets exactly what they searched for.. Google wins because that user will return again due to his satisfaction. And ultimately, you benefit from it because you potentially gained a new subscriber or customer and that means cash in your pocket in the end.
4. Create a landing page for each keyword you bid on.
One of the tricks to getting higher relevancy and higher quality scores in Google's mind is to drive traffic to very specific landing pages.
Each keyword you bid on should be slightly altered so when someone clicks on your ad, they still see the same keyword or something very similar to it in the headline and in the body of your copy on your website.
For example, you search for "dog trainers in Jakarta." You see an ad that says "Dog Trainers in Jakarta." You think to yourself this is exactly what you wanted. You click on the ad to go to the website.
The first thing you read on the web site is "3 Dog Trainers In Seattle Reveal Shocking Secrets that Show You How You Can Fix The Top 10 Most Common Dog Problems Without Having To Pay $1000s In Consultation Fees…All From The Comfort Of Your Own Home."
An automated teller machine (ATM) is a computerized telecommunications device that provides the customers of a financial institution with access to financial transactions in a public space without the need for a human clerk or bank teller. On most modern ATMs, the customer is identified by inserting a plastic ATM card with a magnetic stripe or a plastic smartcard with a chip, that contains a unique card number and some security information, such as an expiration date or CVC (CVV). Security is provided by the customer entering a personal identification number (PIN). Using an ATM, customers can access their bank accounts in order to make cash withdrawals (or credit card cash advances) and check their account balances. ATMs are known by various casual terms including automated banking machine, money machine, cash machine, hole-in-the-wall, cashpoint or Bancomat (in Europe and Russia).
A mechanical cash dispenser was developed and built by Luther George Simjian and installed in 1939 in New York City by the City Bank of New York, but removed after 6 months due to the lack of customer acceptance. The ATM got smaller, faster and easier over the years.
Thereafter, the history of ATMs paused for over 25 years, until De La Rue developed the first electronic ATM, which was installed first in Enfield Town in North London on 27 June 1967 by Barclays Bank. This instance of the invention is credited to John Shepherd-Barron, although various other engineers were awarded patents for related technologies at the time. Shepherd-Barron was awarded an OBE in the 2005 New Year's Honours List.
The first person to use the machine was Reg Varney of "On the Buses" fame, a British Television program from the 1960s. The first ATMs accepted only a single-use token or voucher, which was retained by the machine. These worked on various principles including radiation and low-coercivity magnetism that was wiped by the card reader to make fraud more difficult.
The idea of a PIN stored on the card was developed by the British engineer James Goodfellow in 1965. However, the modern, networked ATM was invented in Dallas, Texas, by Don Wetzel in 1968. Wetzel was a department head at an automated baggage-handling company called Docutel. In 1995 the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History recognized Docutel and Wetzel as the inventors of the ATM. ATMs first came into wide UK use in 1973; the IBM 2984 was designed at the request of Lloyds Bank.
The 2984 CIT (Cash Issuing Terminal) was the first true Cashpoint, similar in function to today's machines; Cashpoint is still a registered trademark of Lloyds TSB in the U.K. All were online and issued a variable amount which was immediately deducted from the account. A small number of 2984s were supplied to a USA bank. Notable historical models of ATMs include the IBM 3624 and 473x series, Diebold 10xx and TABS 9000 series, and NCR 5xxx series.
As with any device containing objects of value, ATMs and the systems they depend on to function are the targets of fraud. Fraud against ATMs and people's attempts to use them takes several forms. The first known instance of a fake ATM was installed at a shopping mall in Manchester, Connecticut in 1993. By modifying the inner workings of a Fujitsu model 7020 ATM, a criminal gang known as The Bucklands Boys were able to steal information from cards inserted into the machine by customers.
In some cases, bank fraud could occur at ATMs whereby the bank accidentally stocks the ATM with bills in the wrong denomination, therefore giving the customer more money than should be dispensed.The result of receiving too much money may be influenced on the Card Holder Agreement in place between the customer and the Bank. In a variation of this, WAVY-TV reported an incident in Virginia Beach of September 2006 where a hacker who had probably obtained a factory-default admin password for a gas station's white label ATM caused the unit to assume it was loaded with $5 USD bills instead of $20s, enabling himself--and many subsequent customers--to walk away with four times the money they said they wanted to withdraw.
ATM behavior can change during what is called "stand-in" time, where the Bank's cash dispensing network is unable to access databases that contain account information (possibly for database maintenance). In order to give customers access to cash, customers may be allowed to withdraw cash up to a certain amount that may be less than their usual daily withdrawal limit, but may still exceed the amount of available money in their account, which could result in fraud.
In an attempt to prevent criminals from shoulder surfing the customer's PINs, some banks draw privacy areas on the floor. In an attempt to prevent criminals from shoulder surfing the customer's PINs, some banks draw privacy areas on the floor.
For a low-tech form of fraud, the easiest is to simply steal a customer's card. A later variant of this approach is to trap the card inside of the ATM's card reader with a device often referred to as a Lebanese loop. When the customer gets frustrated by not getting the card back and walks away from the machine, the criminal is able to remove the card and withdraw cash from the customer's account. Another simple form of fraud involves attempting to get the customer's bank to issue a new card and stealing it from their mail. Some ATMs may put up warning messages to customers to not use them when it detects possible tampering. Some ATMs may put up warning messages to customers to not use them when it detects possible tampering. The concept and various methods of copying the contents of an ATM card's magnetic stripe on to a duplicate card to access other people's financial information was well known in the hacking communities by late 1990.
In 1996 Andrew Stone, a computer security consultant from Hampshire in the UK was convicted of stealing in excess of £1 million Sterling (at the time equivalent to US$1.6 million) by pointing high definition video cameras at ATMs from a considerable distance, and by recording the card numbers, expiry dates, etc. from the embossed detail on the ATM cards along with video footage of the PINs being entered. After getting all the information from the videotapes, he was able to produce clone cards which not only allowed him to withdraw the full daily limit for each account, but also allowed him to sidestep withdrawal limits by using multiple copied cards. In court, it was shown that he could withdraw as much as £10,000 per hour by using this method. Stone was sentenced to five years and six months in prison.
By contrast, a newer high-tech modus operandi involves the installation of a magnetic card reader over the real ATM's card slot and the use of a wireless surveillance camera or a modified digital camera to observe the user's PIN. Card data is then cloned onto a second card and the criminal attempts a standard cash withdrawal. The availability of low-cost commodity wireless cameras and card readers has made it a relatively simple form of fraud, with comparatively low risk to the fraudsters.
In an attempt to stop these practices, countermeasures against card cloning have been developed by the banking industry, in particular by the use of smart cards which cannot easily be copied or spoofed by un-authenticated devices, and by attempting to make the outside of their ATMs tamper evident. Older chip-card security systems include the French Carte Bleue, Visa Cash, Mondex, Blue from American Express and EMV '96 or EMV 3.11. The most actively developed form of smart card security in the industry today is known as EMV 2000 or EMV 4.x. EMV is widely used in the UK (Chip and PIN) and parts of Europe, but when it is not available in a specific area, ATMs must fallback to using the easy to copy magnetic stripe to perform transactions. This fallback behaviour can be exploited. However the fallback option has been removed by several UK banks, meaning if the chip is not read, the transaction will be declined.
