Game Paling Menyeramkan

Game dapat memicu beragam reaksi dari para pemainnya. Merasa bangga ketika berhasil mempertahankan benteng bersama rekan atau mungkin terpacu adrenalinnya ketika balapan dengan kecepatan tinggi. Namun, tak ada yang mampu memancing emosi sehebat game horor.
Pernahkan Anda mengalami bulu kuduk Anda merinding ketika memainkan sebuah game? Atau mungkin merasa ada yang bergerak di belakang Anda? Semua itu dapat terjadi ketika memainkan game horor.
Berikut beberapa game paling mengerikan yang pastinya mampu menantang keberanian Anda.

1. Resident Evil (1996)
Bila Anda berpikir film Resident Evil yang dibintangi Milla Jovovich sudah mengerikan, jangan sampai Anda memainkan game ini. Game yang disebut survival horror ini mampu membuat pemainnya selalu waspada.
Ketika Anda merasa berjalan di lorong yang aman, seekor anjing zombie melompat masuk melalui kaca dan menerkam Anda! Banyak gamer yang mengaku spontan melempar controller PlayStation mereka ketika anjing itu muncul.

2. F.E.A.R (2005)
Pada awalnya game ini terlihat seperti game action shooter biasa. Musuh muncul dan peluru beterbangan. Namun, secara tidak disangka terlihat bayangan berkelebat melewati lorong di depan Anda.
Ketika Anda tiba di sana, ternyata tidak ada siapapun. Ketika Anda menengok ke belakang, seorang anak perempuan berlumuran darah menerkam Anda! Inilah horor psikologis yang dimiliki game ini. Sepanjang permainan Anda akan terus dihantui oleh ”penampakan” yang mencekam.

3. Silent Hill (1999)
Film Silent Hill yang pernah digarap oleh Hoywood tidak bisa dibandingkan mengerikannya game ini. Ketika Anda berada di tengah kota mati yang diliputi kabut tebal dan satu-satunya pertanda ada musuh di dekat Anda adalah suara distorsi radio, apakah Anda akan tenang? Terus terang, suara itu justru membuat keadaan semakin mencekam! Belum lagi ditambah dengan suara sirene yang mengubah kota menjadi penuh darah!

4. Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly (2003)
Bayangkan diri Anda berada di desa terpencil yang tidak tersentuh teknologi. Tidak ada kendaraan, jalanan aspal, bahkan listrik. Kemudian, desa tersebut terkena kutukan yang membuat arwah gentayangan. Itulah yang terjadi di Fatal Frame II.

Anda akan melewati malam penuh kengerian melalui mata seorang gadis kecil bernama Mio. Ia tidak bisa membunuh hantu dengan menggunakan senjata apapun kecuali sebuah kamera tua. Ya, kamera tua. Mio harus memotret hantu untuk mengusirnya. Terdengar lucu? Anda tidak akan berpikir begitu bila memainkannya langsung.

5. Amnesia: The Dark Descent (2010)
Menurut Farel's, inilah game yang paling mengerikan. Game horor diatas semuanya memiliki satu kesamaan – musuhnya dapat diserang dengan senjata. Akan tetapi, tidak demikian dengan Amnesia. Game ini tidak memberikan Anda satu senjata pun untuk mempertahankan diri! Anda hanya memiliki satu lentera yang menerangi daerah sekitar saja. Lebih mengerikannya lagi, Anda selalu dikejar oleh sesuatu yang haus darah.

Kegelapan, ketidakberdayaan, teror, dan suara yang mencekam akan terus mengikuti perjalanan Anda. Banyak gamer yang menyerah di tengah jalan ketika memainkannya akibat tidak tahan dengan kengerian yang terus mencekam.

Beda Layar LCD dan AMOLED di Ponsel

Dengan semakin meluasnya penggunaan layar sentuh berukuran besar sebagai perangkat input utama pada perangkat mobile, kualitas tampilan pun menjadi makin penting karena menentukan kenyamanan pengguna dalam memakai gadget yang bersangkutan.

Berbagai istilah seperti AMOLED, IPS, dan Retina display digunakan sebagai embel-embel teknologi layar perangkat tertentu untuk menarik pembeli.

Namun, secara umum terdapat 2 jenis layar utama yang dipakai pada kebanyakan perangkat mobile, yaitu LCD dan AMOLED.

LCD
LCD atau Liquid Crystal Display telah digunakan sebagai layar berbagai macam perangkat selama berpuluh-puluh tahun, mulai dari monitor komputer, layar smartphone, sampai jam tangan.

Sesuai namanya, layar LCD menggunakan medium kristal cair yang diselipkan diantara beberapa panel kaca atau material transparan lain.

Ketika dilihat dari jarak sangat dekat, tampak unit-unit pixel berwarna merah, hijau, dan biru yang menyusun tampilan gambar pada layar LCD.

Beberapa layar LCD menggunakan teknologi In-Plane Switching atau IPS untuk meningkatkan kualitas reproduksi warna dan sudut pandang optimal yang lebih luas. Layar "Retina Display" milik iPhone 4/4s misalnya, adalah layar LCD dengan teknologi IPS yang memiliki resolusi tinggi.

Layar LCD mampu mereproduksi warna dengan sangat realistik, tetapi memerlukan lampu penerang tambahan (backlight) karena tidak menghasilkan cahaya sendiri.

Beberapa perangkat populer yang menggunakan layar LCD: iPhone 4/4s, iPad, dan HTC One X

AMOLED
Teknologi layar AMOLED atau Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode sebenarnya juga sudah ada sejak lama, sejarahnya membentang hingga ke dekade 50-an.

Belakangan, layar tipe ini ramai diterapkan di perangkat-perangkat gadget karena memiliki beberapa kelebihan dibanding LCD seperti tidak memerlukan lampu backlight dan memiliki tingkat kontras yang lebih tinggi.
AMOLED terbuat dari lapisan polimer organik tipis yang menyala ketika dialiri listrik. Karena konstruksinya yang sederhana, layar AMOLED bisa dibuat sangat tipis.

Kebanyakan layar AMOLED memiliki struktur pixel yang disebut "pentile display", di mana dua sub-pixel merah dan biru berukuran lebih besar dan ditempatkan diantara dua sub-pixel berwarna hijau yang berukuran normal. Dengan kemikian, susunan pixel-nya menjadi' Red-Green-Blue-Green (RGBG), bukan Red-Green-Blue seperti pada LCD.

Keuntungan dari "pentile display" adalah sebuah layar AMOLED bisa dibuat seterang layar konvensional dengan hanya sepertiga jumlah sub-pixel yang biasanya diperlukan.

Kekurangannya, dikarenakan oleh ukuran sub-pixel merah dan biru yang lebih besar, layar jadi terlihat "grainy" atau tampak seperti memiliki resolusi rendah, walau sebenarnya tidak demikian.

Layar AMOLED biasanya sulit dilihat di bawah pancaran cahaya matahari langsung, tetapi teknologi Super AMOLED Plus dari Samsung yang tidak menggunakan "pentile display" telah memberi peningkatan dalam hal ini.

Beberapa perangkat-perangkat populer yang menggunakan layar AMOLED: Samsung Galaxy S series, Nokia Lumia 900, and HTC One S.

Keputusan di Tangan Anda
Baik LCD maupun AMOLED memiliki kelebihan dan kelemahan masing-masing. Saat ini, kedua jenis layar sudah mampu menghasilkan tampilan berkualitas sangat tinggi. Kualitas tampilan pun bervariasi antar produk dan merk, walaupun menggunakan jenis layar yang sama.

Satu-satunya cara untuk menentukan jenis layar mana yang sesuai dengan selera adalah dengan memegang perangkat dan melihat sendiri tampilan layarnya.

Anda akan dengan mudah mengetahui layar mana yang memberikan viewing angle, kontras, dan reproduksi warna yang paling cocok untuk kebutuhan setelah memakai perangkat yang bersangkutan selama beberapa menit.

Facebook Bidik Gamer Kelas Berat

Gamer yang biasa memainkan Diablo III, World of Warcraft atau sejenisnya memang tidak dapat terpuaskan dengan game yang selama ini ditawarkan Facebook. Melihat hal ini, facebook siap berbenah dengan menghadirkan game yang lebih berkualitas dan menantang.

Selama ini Facebook memang hanya menawarkan puluhan game kasual, sebut saja Mafia Wars, Poker, Angry Birds, FarmVille dan sejenisnya. Jumlah pengguna yang memainkan game tersebut memang sudah menyentuh angka jutaan, namun sayangnya sebagian besar bukanlah gamer yang suka memainkan game kelas berat.

Game kelas berat yang dimaksud adalah, game yang hadir dengan kualitas grafis memukau, alur cerita yang sedikit rumit namun menarik, serta mampu menghadirkan permainan yang menantang. Nah, Facebook pun kabarnya segera menghadirkan game seperti itu.

Untuk menciptakan game tersebut, jejaring social tersebut telah bekerjasama dengan Wooga dan Kixeye, perusahaan yang diklaim mampu menghadirkan game sekelas Diablo III atau World of Warcraft dalam platform Facebook.

"Tim ini (Wooga dan Kixeye) akan fokus mengembangkan game hardcore, game yang benar-benar berkualitas sehingga bisa mendorong intensitas bermain yang luar biasa," kata Matt Wyndowe, Games Product Manager Facebook, seperti dikutip dari Game Industry, Sabtu (23/6/2012).

Selain itu Wyndowe juga menginformasikan bahwa nantinya akan lebih banyak game jenis Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) dengan kualitas terbaik di dalam Facebook. Tentunya dengan tambahan elemen sosial ala situs jejaring sosial tersebut.

The Future of Cloud Computing in Mobile phones

Mobile data access via smartphones grew rapidly in Indonesia. The condition is believed to be new business opportunities for the development of value added services (VAS) in mobile phone technology by relying on cloud computing.

This was stated by Indonesian initiator Cloud Forum (ICF) True Prasetya. Of various statistics put forward by a number of research bodies, potential cloud on the mobile device will grow large.

"Mobile cloud should be adopted to develop the VAS in the future. Therefore, access to internet, particularly social media via mobile devices is huge," he told detikINET, Monday (04/09/2012).

Citing research firm Gartner said in 2015 that later connections in the world of mobile data services is expected to grow to 7.4 billion stable connection with a revenue of USD 552 billion.

Gartner also predicted that by 2014 there will be more than 70 billion mobile application download from the app store (app store) every year.

Other institutions, Informa Telecoms & Media said the value of data services and VAS in the world is predicted to reach USD 340 billion.

According to him, cloud mobile technology can simplify all of the data from mobile devices to be transferred to the cloud. Next, make sure the same platform, and integrate with the internet and social media to increase market acceptance.

"If it easier to run mobile cloud service and content developers in making VAS products. Whether it's platform, content, and infrastructure. Development VAS will also be faster, cheaper, and the edges are more productive because of increased turnover," he said.

On the end user, the mobile cloud existing practice when referring to Facebook, Dropbox, and others. However, for the platform does not exist because operators have not moved to open Application Programming Interface (API).

"Because it's open API to open access to the back office operator sepertibilling, subs authentication, charging, customer care, and more. Operators still fear security problems security and fraud management," he concluded.

"Lena was originally entered disguised as legitimate applications and trying to trick the user to activate the payload. The trick is to take advantage of the Super User feature in the Android operating system that has been rooted, "he explained.

Proclaimed Computing, Friday (04/06/2012) malware threats can only be avoided by very advanced users. However, his new variety known as "gingerbreak", allowing root access on devices that adopt Android Gingerbread and Honeycomb, so it does not depend on the mobility of users.

The good news is, malware that has not appeared in Google's Android Market or Play. So, this is different from previous malware infection like DroidDream. On the other hand, this malware can attack the device when users download applications outside the Android Market or google Play.

Wyatt gives some tips on prevention, so that Android users stay safe:

Music is not only used for entertainment, but also used for various other purposes. Music has been widely used as therapy to cope with various symptoms of depression and anxiety. Apparently, there are many other health benefits of music. The amount of this benefit is still unexplored by researchers.

Dr. Petr Janata, a neuroscientist at the University of California, as reported by brainready.com, Monday (1/30/2012) states, "There's something about music and engaging in musical activities that seem very stimulating for the brain and body. Singing songs favorite with family and friends, playing in a band or dancing to music can also strengthen ties with other people. "
Here are some health benefits of music.

Improve the ability of the brain

There are several studies that show how music can enhance brain function. In one study, a clinical psychologist Charles Emery of Ohio State University studied the effects of music on people who listen to them for regular exercise.

Emery and his team tested 33 men and women who were in the final weeks of cardiac rehabilitation programs. Each participant was tested for the ability to mentally after exercising without music and exercising with music.

The result, on average, participants received scores more than doubled when listening to music after a workout without listening to music than after exercise. The selected music is Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons".

Previous studies by other scientists suggests that music helps patients with lung disease to mental abilities may work better.

Emery thought the same benefits can be gained by listening to all kinds of music, not just classical music. He theorized that the "Four Seasons" can stimulate mental performance because of its complexity forcing the brain to regulate nerve transmission.

"But other types of music may work better for some people. I do not think there is anything special on the music of Vivaldi or classical music that would trigger an increase in brain function," Emery said.

Improve intelligence

In fact, mice that run mazes faster and more accurately after hearing Mozart. According to Rauscher, Mozart piano sonata seems to stimulate the activity of three genes involved in nerve cell signals in the brain.

Listening to music is one way of listening to music passively to obtain benefits for the brain. But a more stimulating brain activity and even increase IQ is playing or writing music.

Children six years old who were given music lessons when compared to drama lessons or no extra instruction received 2-3 points in his IQ scores.

Rauscher also found that after getting music lessons for two years, pre-school children scored better on spatial reasoning tests than those following the computer lessons. But the benefits may not be the same for adults.

Some studies have found that listening to music can reduce pain. Other studies have shown that music can be beneficial for patients with heart disease by reducing blood pressure, heart rate and anxiety.

Music therapy has also been shown to lift the spirits of patients with depression. Create your own music, either playing musical instruments or singing, can have therapeutic effects as well.
