Di sini saya akan mendeskripsikan prosedur untuk menginstal dan mengonfigurasi TCP/IP Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Ikuti prosedur ini jika Anda sebelumnya tidak menginstal protocol jaringan TCP/IP pada komputer yang sedang Anda pakai untuk mengerjakan prosedur-prosedur latihan selama kursus ini.

1. Menginstal TCP/IP

TCP/IP dapat dipakai dalam lingkungan jaringan yang bervariasi mulai dari LAN yang kecil sampai Internet global. Ketika Anda mengoperasikan Windows 2003 Setup, TCP/IP diinstal sebagai default protocol jaringan bila suatu adapter jaringan dideteksi. Oleh karena itu, Anda hanya perlu menginstal protocol TCP/IP kalau default pilihan protocol TCP/IP ditindih selama proses setup atau Anda sudah menghapusnya dari suatu koneksi di dalam Network and Dial-Up Connections.

1.1. Menginstal Protocol TCP/IP

Pada latihan ini, Anda akan menginstal TCP/IP pada Local Area Network Connection in Network and Dial-Up Connections. Anda harus me-logon sebagai seorang administrator atau seorang anggota dari Administrator group agar mampu menyelesaikan latihan ini. Untuk menginstal TCP/IP pada koneksi jaringan area lokal

1. Klik Start
2. Klik Programs
3. Klik Connect To
4. Klik Show All Connections. Muncul kotak dialog Network And Dial-Up Connections
5. Klik kanan Local Area Connection
6. Klik Properties. Muncul kotak dialog Local Area Connection Properties
7. Klik Install. Muncul kotak dialog Select Network Component Type
8. Klik Protocol
9. Klik Add. Muncul kotak dialog Select Network Protocol
10. Klik Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) seperti dijelaskan pada Gambar 9.
11. Klik OK. Protocol TCP/IP diinstal dan ditambahkan ke daftar Components di kotak dialog Local Area Connection Properties
12. Klik Yes apabila akan merestart komputer Anda.
13. Klik Close untuk menutupnya.

Gambar 1.   Memilih untuk menambah komponen Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

1.2. Mengonfigurasi TCP/IP

Jika Anda baru pertama kali mengimplementasikan TCP/IP pada jaringan Anda, maka Anda harus menyusun suatu rencana yang rinci untuk pengalamatan IP pada jaringan Anda. Skema pengalamatan jaringan TCP/IP Anda dapat mencantumkan entah alamat pribadi atau alamat umum. Anda dapat memakai entah alamat pribadi atau alamat umum bila jaringan Anda tidak dihubungkan ke Internet. Namun demikian, Anda kemungkinan besar akan mengim-plementasikan beberapa alamat IP umum untuk dukungan inter-konektivitas Internet. Hal ini karena device-device yang dihubungkan secara langsung ke Internet memerlukan suatu alamat IP umum. InterNIC memberikan alamat-alamat umum ke Internet Service Provider (ISP). ISP, pada gilirannya, memberikan alamat IP ke organisasi ketika konektivitas jaringan dibeli. Alamat IP yang diberikan melalui cara ini dijamin bersifat unik dan sudah diprogram ke router Internet agar lalu lintasnya mampu menjangkau host tujuan.

Selanjutnya, Anda dapat mengimplementasikan suatu skema peng-alamatan pribadi untuk melindungi alamat-alamat internal Anda dari sisa Internet dengan mengonfigurasi alamat-alamat pribadi pada semua komputer di jaringan (atau intranet) pribadi Anda. Alamat-alamat pribadi tidak dapat dijangkau di Internet karena alamat tersebut terpisah dari alamat-alamat umum dan alamat tersebut tidak tumpang tindih.

Anda dapat memberikan alamat IP di Windows 2003 secara dinamis dengan memakai Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) dan Anda dapat mengalamatkan pemberian itu dengan memakai Automatic Private IP Addressing. Anda dapat juga mengonfigurasi TCP/IP secara manual. Anda mengonfigurasi TCP/IP pada sebuah komputer yang didasarkan pada fungsinya. Misalnya, server pada suatu hubungan server/client di dalam suatu organisasi mesti diberikan suatu alamat IP secara manual. Namun demikian, Anda dapat mengonfigurasi TCP/IP secara dinamis melalui server DHCP untuk mayoritas client di sebuah jaringan.

1.3. Konfigurasi Dinamis

Komputer-komputer dengan sistem operasi Microsoft Windows 2003 akan berusaha untuk memperoleh konfigurasi TCP/IP dari sebuah server DHCP pada jaringan Anda berdasarkan default seperti diuraikan pada Gambar 10. Jika suatu konfigurasi TCP/IP statis baru saja diimplementasikan pada sebuah komputer, maka Anda dapat mengimplementasikan suatu konfigurasi TCP/IP dinamis.

Untuk mengimplementasikan suatu konfigurasi TCP/IP dinamis:

1. Klik Start
2. Klik Programs
3. Klik Connect To
4. Klik Show All Connections
5. Klik kanan Local Area Connection
6. Klik Properties
7. Pada tab General klik Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
8. Klik Properties. Untuk tipe-tipe koneksi yang lain, klik tab Networking
9. Klik Obtain An IP Address Automatically
10. Klik OK

Gambar 2. Mengonfigurasi komputer Anda untuk memperoleh seting-seting TCP/IP secara otomatis.

1.4. Konfigurasi Manual

Beberapa server, misalnya DHCP, DNS, dan WINS, harus diberikan suatu alamat IP secara manual. Bila Anda tidak mempunyai sebuah server DHCP pada jaringan Anda, maka Anda harus mengonfigurasi komputer-komputer TCP/IP secara manual agar bisa memakai suatu alamat IP statis.

Untuk mengonfigurasi sebuah komputer TCP/IP agar memakai pengalamatan statis:

1. Klik Start
2. Klik Programs
3. Klik Connect To
4. Klik Show All Network Connections
5. Klik kanan Local Area Connection
6. Klik Properties
7. Pada tab General klik Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
8. Klik Properties
9. Pilihlah Use the Following IP Address
10. Anda kemudian harus mengetik alamat IP, subnet mask, dan default gateway. Kalau jaringan Anda mempunyai sebuah server DNS, maka Anda dapat mengatur komputer Anda agar memakai DNS.
11. Untuk mengatur komputer Anda agar memakai DNS
12. Pilihlah Use The Following DNS Server Addresses
13. Di dalam Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS Server, ketiklah alamat-alamat server DNS primer dan sekunder seperti ditampilkan Gambar 3. berikut ini

Gambar 3. Mengonfigurasi setting-setting TCP/IP secara manual pada komputer Anda.

Anda dapat mengonfigurasi juga alamat-alamat IP tambahan dan default gateway dengan melaksanakan prosedur di bawah ini.

Untuk mengonfigurasi alamat-alamat IP tambahan dan default gateway:

1. Di dalam kotak dialog Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties, klik Advanced
2. Pada tab IP Settings di dalam IP Addresses, klik Add
3. Di dalam IP Address And Subnet Mask, ketiklah suatu alamat IP dan subnet mask, lalu klik Add
4. Ulangi langkah 2 dan langkah 3 untuk setiap alamat IP yang ingin Anda tambahkan, lalu klik OK
5. Pada tab IP Settings di dalam Default Gateway, klik Add
6. Di dalam Gateway And Metric, ketiklah alamat IP dari default gateway dan metrik, lalu klik Add. Anda pun dapat mengetik sebuah angka metrik di dalam Interface Metric untuk mengonfigurasi metrik yang lazim bagi koneksi ini
7. Ulangi langkah-langkah 5 dan 6 untuk setiap alamat IP yang akan Anda tambahkan, lalu klik OK

2. Pemberian Alamat IP Pribadi yang Otomatis

Pilihan konfigurasi alamat TCP/IP yang lain adalah memakai Automatic Private IP Addressing saat DHCP tidak tersedia. Pada Windows versi-versi sebelumnya, konfigurasi alamat IP dapat dikerjakan entah secara manual ataupun secara dinamis melalui DHCP. Jika suatu client tidak mampu untuk memperoleh sebuah alamat IP dari sebuah server DHCP, maka layanan-layanan jaringan untuk client itu tidak tersedia. Fasilitas Automatic Private IP Addressing pada Windows 2003 mengotomatiskan proses pemberian suatu alamat IP yang tidak dipakai dalam situasi bahwa DHCP tidak tersedia.

Alamat Automatic Private IP Addressing dipilih dari blok alamat 169.254.0.0 yang disediakan Microsoft dengan subnet mask 255.255.0.0. Ketika fasilitas Automatic Private IP Addressing pada Windows 2003 dipakai, suatu alamat di dalam rangkaian pengalamatan IP yang disediakan Microsoft dari 169.254.0.1 sampai 169.254.255.254 diberikan ke client. Alamat IP yang diberikan akan dipakai sampai sebuah server DHCP diletakkan. Subnet mask 255.255.0.0 secara otomatis dipakai.

3. Menguji TCP/IP dengan Ipconfig dan PING

Anda harus selalu memverifikasi dan menguji konfigurasi TCP/IP Anda untuk memastikan komputer Anda dapat berhubungan ke jaringan dan host TCP/IP yang lain. Anda dapat mengerjakan pengujian konfigurasi TCP/IP yang mendasar dengan memakai utiliti Ipconfig dan utiliti PING.

Dengan Ipconfig, Anda memverifikasi parameter-parameter konfigurasi TCP/IP pada sebuah host, yang meliputi alamat IP, subnet mask, dan default gateway, dari command pormpt. Hal ini bermanfaat dalam menentukan apakah konfigurasi itu diinisialisasi atau sebuah alamat IP duplikat dikonfigurasi.

Untuk memakai Ipconfig dari command prompt:

1. Bukalah command prompt
2. Ketika command prompt ditayangkan, ketiklah Ipconfig/all, lalu tekan Enter. Informasi konfigurasi TCP/IP ditayangkan seperti diuraikan pada Gambar 4

Gambar 4. Pemakaian Ipconfig untuk menayangkan informasi konfigurasi TCP/IP.

Setelah Anda memverifikasi konfigurasi itu dengan utiliti Ipconfig, Anda dapat memakai utiliti PING untuk menguji konektivitas. Utiliti PING adalah suatu piranti diagnostik yang menguji konfigurasi-konfigurasi TCP/IP dan mendiagnosa kegagalan koneksi. PING memakai pesan-pesan Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request and Echo Reply untuk menentukan apakah host TCP/IP tertentu tersedia dan fungsional. Seperti utiliti Ipconfig, utiliti PING dieksekusi pada command prompt. Command syntaxnya adalah:

• Ping IP_Address
• Jika PING sukses, maka muncul sebuah pesan yang mirip dengan ilustrasi pada Gambar 5.

Gambar 5.   Pesan-pesan Reply ditayangkan oleh utiliti PING.

4. Mengonfigurasi Filter-filter Paket

Anda dapat memakai penyaringan paket IP untuk memulai negosiasi-negosiasi keamanan bagi suatu komunikasi yang didasarkan pada sumber, tujuan, dan tipe lalu lintas IP. Hal ini memungkinkan Anda untuk menentukan pemicu lalu lintas IPX dan IP manakah yang akan diamankan, dihalangi, atau diizinkan untuk bisa melintas tanpa dilakukan penyaringan.

Misalnya, Anda dapat membatasi tipe akses yang diizinkan ke dan dari jaringan untuk membatasi lalu lintas ke sistem-sistem yang diinginkan. Anda harus memastikan bahwa Anda tidak mengon-figurasi filter-filter paket yang terlampau restriktif, yang mengganggu fungsionalitas protocol-protocol yang bermanfaat pada komputer. Misalnya, jika sebuah komputer yang sedang menjalankan Windows 2003 ternyata juga sedang mengoperasikan Internet Information Services (IIS) sebagai suatu server Web dan filter-filter paket sudah ditetapkan sehingga hanya lalu lintas berbasis Web yang diizinkan, maka Anda tidak dapat memakai PING (yang memakai ICMP Echo Requests and Echo Replies) untuk mengerjakan pencarian dan pemecahan kesulitan IP dasar.

Anda dapat mengonfigurasi protocol TCP/IP untuk menyaring paket-paket IP yang didasarkan pada:

• TCP port number
• UDP port number
• IP protocol number

5. Latihan Mengimplementasikan Filter-filter Paket IP

Pada latihan ini, Anda akan mengimplementasikan penyaringan paket TCP/IP pada sebuah komputer Windows Server 2003 untuk sebuah koneksi LAN.

Untuk mengimplementasikan penyaringan paket TCP/IP langkah yang harus Anda lakukan adalah sebagai berikut:

1. Klik Start
2. Klik Programs
3. Klik Connect To
4. Klik Show All Connections
5. Klik kanan Local Area Connection
6. Klik Properties. Muncul kotak dialog Local Area Connection Properties
7. Pilihlah Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), lalu klik Properties. Muncul kotak dialog Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties
8. Klik Advanced. Muncul kotak dialog Advanced TCP/IP Settings
9. Klik tab Options, pilih TCP/IP Filtering
10. Klik Properties. Muncul kotak dialog TCP/IP Filtering seperti diuraikan pada Gambar 14.
11. Klik Enable TCP/IP Filtering (All Adapters). Anda sekarang dapat menambahkan penyaringan protocol IP, UDP, dan TCP dengan mengklik pilihan Permit Only, lalu mengklik Add di bawah daftar TCP, UDP, or IP Protocols. Beberapa implementasi penyaringan TCP/IP yang dapat Anda pakai meliputi:
12. Mengaktifkan hanya TCP port 23, yang menyaring semua lalu lintas kecuali lalu lintas Telnet
13. Mengaktifkan hanya TCP port 80 pada suatu server yang ditujukan khusus untuk Web demi memproses hanya lalu lintas TCP berbasis Web
14. Klik OK beberapa kali untuk menutup semua kotak dialog yang terbuka

Gambar 6. Mengatur filter-filter paket TCP/IP di dalam kotak dialog TCP/IP Filtering.

Catatan:

Dengan mengaktifkan hanya TCP port 80, semua komunikasi jaringan di luar port 80 akan dinonaktifkan.

Berdasarkan default, Windows 2003 menginstal protocol TCP/IP jika Setup mendeteksi suatu adapter jaringan. Anda dapat juga menginstal TCP/IP secara manual. Setelah Anda menginstal TCP/IP pada sebuah komputer, Anda dapat mengonfigurasinya untuk memperoleh suatu alamat IP secara otomatis atau mengatur properti-properti konfigurasi secara manual. Anda pun dapat mengimplementasikan filter-filter paket untuk membatasi tipe akses yang diizinkan ke dan dari jaringan demi membatasi lalu lintas ke sistem-sistem yang diinginkan.

Jakarta -Merdeka itu, jika tak lagi terdengar dentum bom dan deru mesiu. Bayangan umum tentang merdeka, seperti diceritakan zaman kakek dulu, karena bangsa ini berhasil mengusir penjajah dengan bambu runcing. Begitu heroik dan membanggakan. Tapi tak sekadar bersenjata bambu, para pejuang itu meneteskan darah dan peluh dengan ketulusan. Perjuangan tanpa pamrih, agar anak bangsa ini, memiliki identitas kebangsaan bernama Indonesia.

Ada juga yang bilang, merdeka jika tak lagi subur ketimpangan sosial. Tegaknya hukum, keberpihakaan pada yang lemah, dan penguasa yang adil. Merdeka juga, jika hak-hak rakyat terpenuhi, dan keadilan untuk semua. Merdeka juga, jika rakyat hidup aman, tak dihantui horor, teror, dan teroris. Tapi merdeka, bukanlah kebebasan yang membolehkan manusia membunuh manusia lainnya. Juga bukan alasan, penguasa bertindak sewenang-wenang.

Kita, telah memaknai merdeka selama ini dengan bendera berkibar, panjat pinang, balap karung, dan aktivitas menggembirakan lainnya. Tapi, harus diakui, kadang kita juga kerap kurang tepat meresapi nilai-nilai kemerdekaan.

Memaknai kemerdekaan, kita dapat memetik hikmah dari para Nabi dalam membebaskan manusia dari penindasan. Seperti Nabi Musa, ketika membebaskan bangsanya dari penindasan Firaun. Rezim Firaun merupakan representasi komunitas yang menyombongkan diri dan sok berkuasa di muka bumi.

Keangkuhan rezim penguasa ini membuat mereka tak segan membunuh dan memperbudak kaum laki-laki dan menistakan kaum perempuannya. Keangkuhan inilah yang mendorong Musa, tergerak memimpin bangsanya, untuk membebaskan diri dari penindasan.

Demikian juga, dengan kisah sukses Nabi Muhammad dalam memegang tampuk kenabian, menjadi inspirasi tak pernah habis bagi kita untuk memaknai kemerdekaan. Tatkala diutus 14 abad silam, Rasulullah menghadapi sebuah masyarakat yang mengalami tiga penjajahan sekaligus: disorientasi hidup, penindasan ekonomi, dan kezaliman sosial.

Disorientasi hidup wujudnya, dalam penyembahan patung oleh masyarakat Arab Quraisy. Sementara penindasan ekonomi, dijelaskan Al-Quran sebagai sesuatu yang membuat kekayaan hanya berputar pada kelompok-kelompok tertentu saja. Rasulullah mengkritik orang-orang yang mengumpulkan dan menghitung-hitung harta, tanpa memedulikan kesejahteraan sosial dan keadilan ekonomi (QS Al-Humazah:1-4; Al-Maa’uun:2-3).

Rasulullah mengkampanyekan pembebasan budak dan kesederajatan bangsa-bangsa. Dalam khutbah terakhirnya di Arafah, saat haji wada’, beliau menegaskan bahwa tak ada perbedaan antara hitam dan putih, antara Arab dan non-Arab. Semuanya sama di mata Tuhan. Tidak ada celah yang membedakan manusia satu dengan manusia lainnya, kecuali tingkat ketakwaan mereka kepada Tuhan-Nya (QS Al-Hujuraat:13).

Jika kita merasakan apa yang telah dilakukan Nabi Muhammad, mungkin itulah makna merdeka sejati sebuah bangsa. Wallahua’lam.

Metode DDOS ini melumpuhkan situs yang diserang dengan cara membanjiri situs dengan data yang menyebabkan layanan menjadi down.

Beberapa situs yang menjadi objek sasaran cyber ini adalah Treasury Department, Secret Service, Federal Trade Commission, Pentagon dan Department of Homeland Security, juga termasuk situs White House. Sedangkan di Korea Selatan, situs pemerintah yang kena terjangan yakni situs kantor presiden, the National Assembly, Defense and Foreign Ministries.

Selama beberapa hari, terhitung lebih dari 2 lusin situs telah diserang. Setelah dilakukan penyelidikan, diduga bahwa Korea Utara (Korut) merupakan biang keladi di balik serangan cyber ini. Dikutip detikINET dari Forbes, Kamis (9/7/2009), semua itu didasarkan pada penyelidikan alamat internet yang mengarah pada negara tersebut.. ( sha / faw )

1. The Seeker:

Steve Ballmer

microsoft.com

Ballmer has his work cut out. He needs to make Microsoft an Internet player without jeopardizing its desktop monopolies, restore customers’ faith in Windows after Vista sapped it, and imbue the company with a sense of direction after its failure to reel in Yahoo. Microsoft continues to mint money, bringing in about $1.8 billion monthly in cash. But in a world where software is moving from the PC to the Web, the company is being outmaneuvered by Google. Microsoft’s ad unit is bleeding cash, and its search sites accounted for just 8.3% of U.S. users’ queries in August. Buying Yahoo was supposed to help, but now Ballmer likely will need to chart a new course—without daily help from Bill Gates, who retired in June.

2. The Marshall:

Mitchell Baker

mozilla.org

When Baker, the “Lizard Wrangler” at the Mozilla Foundation, launched the Firefox browser four years ago, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer was in her sights. Baker’s overarching goal was to keep the Web open. Now, Firefox’s market share has risen to nearly 20% while IE’s has slipped from 95% to 72%, and most Web sites treat all browsers equally. These days, Mozilla is faced with a threat of its own: Google’s Chrome browser, which launched Sept. 1. Baker says the new browser on the block “forces us to do our best.” Mozilla’s latest foray is into mobile browsing.

3. The Innovator:

Jeff Bezos

amazon.com

By sending Amazon’s stock to all-time highs during the past year, Bezos effectively hushed critics who worried that the company was spending too much on technology and shipping discounts. Now, the company he founded 14 years ago is firmly focused on exactly the kind of new ventures that Bezos relishes. Whether it’s the Kindle e-book or cloud computing services aimed at businesses that want to store data and their operations on Amazon’s massive server farms, Bezos is committed to developing new kinds of revenue streams for the digital future.

4. The Searchers:

Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt

google.com

The Google executive triumvirate, with Schmidt as CEO and co-founders Brin and Page as respective presidents of technology and products, works as a seamless team at the top of the search giant. Up to now, their key task has been to manage the breakneck growth of the company, now comprising more than 18,000 employees and expecting $16.2 billion in sales this year, up 53%. Even the declining economy has not yet seemed to slow its dominance in Web search and search-based advertising. But that very success is creating challenges, namely a backlash against their increasing power online from competitors, advertisers, and government regulators. Now, their main job will be convincing the world they mean it when they spout their informal corporate motto, “Don’t be evil.”

5. The Investor:

Jeff Clavier

softtechvc.com

A onetime angel investor in more than Web 2.0 startups, Clavier last year started a bona fide venture capital firm, SoftTech VC in Palo Alto, Calif. The French native has none of the press star power of better known VCs such as Sequoia Capital’s Michael Moritz or John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, but Clavier is the one all the newly minted entrepreneurs are flocking around at countless Web 2.0 conferences. For good reason: Clavier has an eye for fast-rising startups, such as news feed aggregator NetVibes, personal-finance service Mint, and social advertising network SocialMedia. And five of his startups had successful “exits” through acquisition by the likes of Yahoo, AOL, and others.

6. The Papa Bear:

Paul Graham

ycombinator.com

Graham, a computer programmer turned author, developed a devoted following among would-be tech entrepreneurs with his essay “How to Start a Startup.” Several years ago, he put his money where his mouth was, launching Y Combinator, a venture firm that incubates technology companies. Twice a year, the firm provides seed money, typically $20,000 or less, to help select young entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life. Social news site Reddit is among the most successful Y Combinator companies, having been acquired by Condé Nast Publications in 2006.

7. The Muckracker:

Arianna Huffington

huffingtonpost.com

As election day draws nigh, Huffington’s liberal political blog The Huffington Post has become a must-read for the Washington media as well as left-leaning voters. More than 8 million people per month reportedly visit the site, which includes commentary, discussion of breaking news stories, and political coverage. Huffington, a Cambridge University grad and author of 12 books, steers the conversation in the mainstream media with what she focuses on in her blog and during her frequent public appearances. Her next venture? Local news. In June, Huffington announced plans to launch a local news aggregation site for major metropolitan areas.

8. The Adviser:

Joi Ito

joi.ito.com

When Joichi “Joi” Ito speaks, the digerati listen. The onetime college dropout and nightclub DJ has become one of the Web’s leading thinkers and writers on a number of cutting-edge technologies, from online multiplayer games such as World of Warcraft to social networks. The Japanese native is also an entrepreneur, angel investor in companies such as Flickr (later acquired by Yahoo) and Six Apart, and board member at companies such as corporate collaboration firm Socialtext and blog tracker Technorati. Currently, among his seemingly endless list of activities, he’s CEO of the nonprofit group Creative Commons, which helps authors, artists, and others easily mark how they’d like their work to be used online.

9. The Mastermind:

Steve Jobs

apple.com

Having brought Apple back from the brink of a premature death following his return to the CEO’s office in 1996, Jobs has revolutionized how we consume media of all kinds, whether music, TV shows, and movies. Itunes is now the biggest retailer of music, be it digital or tangible—in the U.S., having sold 5 billion songs as of June. Since 2007 he’s turned his attention to the wireless world, challenging entrenched players like Motorola and Research In Motion with the iPhone.

10. The Filmer:

Jonathan Kaplan

theflip.com

Here’s a familiar scenario: Buy a video camera when the first child comes along. Take loads of video. Stick tapes in a drawer. Shelve camcorder until the next child is born. Pure Digital Technologies CEO Kaplan set out seven years ago to turn that old saw on its head. The company’s $130 Flip video camcorder, a compact device where you simply frame your subject in a small screen and press a button to record, made it so easy to shoot video and upload it to a PC or YouTube that even a child can use it. Flip’s astounding success has turbocharged video sharing online—and in the process it forced Sony, Samsung and others to create a slew of easy-to-use devices that will compete with it.

11. The Communicator:

Loic Le Meur

Leweb3.com
seesmic.com

Le Meur is a compulsive communicator. And that has served him well. He has run a string of startups, founded a popular conference in Paris called Le Web that brings together bloggers from around the world, and started one of the most popular blogs in France. Right now, few people are more rabid about the possibilities of Twitter and its short burst of communications than Le Meur. He parlayed that obsession into a startup, Seesmic, a sort of video version of Twitter, where people can post short videos and react to each other’s clips. But mostly, it’s Le Meur’s irrepressible enthusiasm for all things Internet that has made him someone to watch.

12. The Trader:

Jack Ma

alibaba.com

For many Chinese entrepreneurs, Ma is a hero. A former school teacher, Ma, 43, is the founder and CEO of the Alibaba Group, China’s premier e-commerce player. The company, headquartered in Ma’s hometown, the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, controls Yahoo China and Taobao, the country’s top consumer Web site. The flagship of the group is Alibaba.com, a business-to-business service that connects small and midsized importers and exporters in China with counterparts worldwide. Ma successfully guided Alibaba’s $1.5 billion Hong Kong initial private offering last November and is now using that cash pile to expand into new markets in Japan, India, and Korea.

13. The Publisher:

Matt Mullenweg

WordPress.org

As the importance of social media expands, so does the influence of WordPress, the blogging service that most serious bloggers turn to. And though blogging might seem well established, WordPress just keeps on growing. Open source software is part of the reason for WordPress’ success. When Mullenweg started blogging in 2001, he used open source software to develop his own Web tools, which became WordPress. Traffic to WordPress’ service more than doubled during the last year to 103 million global visitors, compared with main rival Typepad’s 20 million.

14. The Mogul:

Rupert Murdoch

myspace.com

Murdoch made his career—and billions—developing media properties into powerhouses. He’s aiming to do it again with MySpace, the social network he bought in 2005 for a mere $580 million. Under the ownership of News Corp. (NWS), MySpace has morphed from a site where users post messages to friends and listen to unsigned bands into a full-fledged Web portal for entertainment content that pulls in an estimated $800 million per year in revenue. The site, which has more than 117 million users worldwide, has signed deals to distribute television shows and original programming and, this September, launched MySpace Music—a joint venture with the four major record labels and Indie players. Now Murdoch’s challenge is to turn all the traffic and premium content into ad buys capable of competing with the likes of Yahoo.

15. The Community Organizer:

Craig Newmark

craigslist.com

The former Charles Schwab Internet consultant started Craigslist in 2004 to help people connect and publicize events. The site has since dramatically altered the classified advertising universe and the business model of local newspapers with its largely free want ads and “for sale” postings. But don’t ask Newmark how much the site is capable of raking in. Newmark insists that he’s not in it for the money and, after a company employee sold a 25% stake to eBay, has filed suit over what he describes as the e-commerce giant’s relentless attempts to turn the site into an eBay business.

\16. The Traffic Driver:

Gabe Rivera

techmeme.com

Rivera’s Techmeme has fast become the tech news source of record by aggregating the top industry news from more than 1,000 blogs and mainstream media sources in one convenient location. Unlike Digg and other community edited sites, the ad-supported site is entirely automated. Rivera tweaks the algorithms, but the prominence of stories is all based on links and blog buzz, among other things. Last year the site launched a “leader board” to show the news sources that most frequently have their stories posted on the site.

17. The Poster Boy:

Kevin Rose

digg.com

The founder of Digg is one of the most well-known faces of the new Web elite. That’s partly because the computer-science dropout from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas changed the way millions of people each month get the news, taking power from front page editors and giving it to people who submit and vote for stories on Digg.com. The site, which has somewhere between 10 million and 22 million visitors a month, depending on who you ask, has a dedicated fan base. But Rose’s high recognition factor is mostly because the 31-year old can’t get out of the news and away from rumors of Digg’s imminent sale to Google or Microsoft.

18. The Adult:

Sheryl Sandberg

facebook.com

Since Mark Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook in his dorm room at Harvard University, the social networking giant has been dominated by a freewheeling culture of young, mostly male computer engineers. That all changed in April when the company hired former Google executive Sandberg to become Facebook’s chief operating officer. Sandberg, 38, was brought in to provide some adult supervision and help Silicon Valley’s hottest startup to grow up—and make oodles of money. If anyone can figure out how to capitalize on Web 2.0, it’s Sandberg. As vice-president of global online sales and operations at Google, she oversaw huge growth in its international operations and managed its lucrative advertising business. As COO, Sandberg will be responsible for helping Facebook scale its operations and build its business model.

19. The Edutainer:

Jon Stewart

thedailyshow.com

With the 2008 election, Stewart is increasing his influence exponentially this year. And a big part of the reason why is the Web. After some messy quarrels with YouTube over illegal copies running on the video service, Comedy Central, which produces The Daily Show, finally started putting all its shows up for free on its own Web site and allowing people to share them. With more people than ever turning to the Web for news and videos, The Daily Show has become the place where many claim to be getting their best coverage of the elections. So while Stewart wasn’t a pioneer in going online, his embrace of the Net is an example of good timing.

20. The Money Man:

Peter Thiel

clariumcapital.com
thefoundersfund.com

One of the most prominent members of Silicon Valley’s PayPal mafia (a group of savvy entrepreneurs who emerged from the online payment firm), Thiel has invested in some of the hottest startups through The Founders Fund. Thiel started the venture capital fund, adapting to Web 2.0 entrepreneurs who don’t need much money to get off the ground and don’t want to give up big chunks of their companies. Thiel’s investments include Facebook, Slide, and Yammer. Still, Thiel does much more than focus on startups. After selling PayPal to eBay, Thiel left to found Clarium Capital Management, a global macro hedge fund that now manages more than $7 billion in investments.

21. The Crafter:

Maria Thomas

etsy.com

Etsy is a happening little company with a lot of promise. The three-year-old site, where people buy and sell homemade arts and crafts, last year sold $27 million in goods with very little marketing. Its secret? Hitting a chord with people who are tired of the ordinary and the mass produced. Thomas’ job is to let more people aware that Etsy is the alternative they didn’t know was there for them. She has plenty of experience building new models on top of old habits. As the Vice President and General Manager of NPR, she spearheaded the organization’s wildly popular and innovative podcasting offerings. Now Thomas, a onetime exec at Amazon, is back at her e-commerce roots.

22. The Advocate:

Anssi Vanjoki

nokia.com

Nokia (NOK) veteran Vanjoki is the most visible advocate for the Finnish handset maker’s transition from hardware manufacturer to provider of mobile Internet services. As executive vice-president, markets, Vanjoki is responsible for convincing consumers as well as business partners that Nokia’s devices are useful for much more than talking and occasionally snapping a photo. The “multimedia computers,” as Vanjoki likes to call Nokia smartphones, are becoming gateways to the Internet and services such as social networking, music downloads or navigation. Nokia will need all the determination that the hard-driving Vanjoki, who hunts bear in his spare time, can muster. It’s directly taking on Apple, Google, and Research in Motion.

23. The Crowd Sourcer:

Jimmy Wales

wikia-inc.com/wiki/wikia

Wales is best known as the founder of Wikipedia, a community edited online encyclopedia that has grown from a niche site in 2001 to the source of all things pop culture. It is ranked by Web rating service Alexa as one of the top 10 popular sites in the world. But Wales would like also to be known as the force that bested Google at its own game. Wales has started the for-profit company Wikia Inc., which includes an open source search engine named Wikia Search. The project has received more than $4 million in funding from Bessemer Venture Partners and the Omidyar Network.

24. The Blogger:

Evan Williams

twitter.com

Williams has a knack for figuring out how people want to keep in touch—even before they seem to know it themselves. In 1999 he launched Blogger, a service that allows people to post their every thought online. That turned anyone with a computer into a global publisher. After selling Blogger to Google, Williams created a podcasting startup named Odeo that didn’t take off. But in the meantime, Jack Dorsey, an employee at Williams’ company, came up with Twitter. Twitter has popularized microblogging, the streams of short posts people write to groups of friends. During the past two years, the popularity of Twitter has exploded, as people turn to new ways to stay in touch.

25. The Fighter:

Jerry Yang

yahoo.com

Still embattled after a bruising five-month campaign that repulsed Microsoft’s $45 billion takeover bid, Yahoo! (YHOO) CEO and co-founder Yang must find ways to recharge growth at the struggling Internet portal. Despite speculation that Yahoo might be interested in buying Time Warner’s AOL unit, Yang is publicly banking on new services such as a display-advertising system announced on Sept. 24. But activist investor Carl Icahn and two of his cohorts on Yahoo’s board, along with many other shareholders, still favor a deal with Microsoft. Meantime, regulators are scrutinizing a proposed search ad deal with Google that Yahoo says would bring in $800 million a year. So Yang’s running room is short. And with the economy already slowing the growth of Yahoo’s mainstay display advertising revenues, his effort to keep Yahoo independent faces steep odds.

michael jackson died today n i thought it would be helpful to tell you all that he was a muslim. He converted a few months or maybe a few years ago, the exact date varies with different reports. When anyone does anytihng, it should be noted that to get sawab for it, they should do it firstly for the purpose of getting sawab. they should not do it to: get recognition, or make themselves feel better then others. try to do things anonymously, do not take the credit unless someone offers it, n even then dont exaggerate or brag or think of yourself as better than others for it

live a good life, do charity, do not brag bout it, do not think of yourself as superior to anyone, do not try to show it off, do it anonymously for the sake of allah SWT because by doing it anonymously, u’ll prove to allah n urself that u did it for only allah since he is the only one who will kno wat u did inshallah i hope we all go to jannah, i jsut thought to tell you thoase things about life, since when people’s time comes they must die, n eventually will rise again, but til then, u must live a good life according to the sunnah of Muhammad SAW

michael jackson might not hgave been a practisiing muslim, but we do not now. we dont kno if he did pray or fast or not cuz we didnt live with him or anytihng. n even if he did not its for us to judge him, that is wat allah SWT will do on qiyamah, pray fr him n all muslims to have strong iman n go to jannah inshallah

Jakarta – Strategy Analytics, sebuah perusahaan riset dan data global, mengurutkan penetrasi broadband negara-negara di dunia. Alih-alih menggunakan data per kapita, lembaga ini menggunakan data per rumah tangga.

“Ranking broadband kerap jadi perdebatan. Meski ranking kami mungkin berbeda dari hasil lembaga lain, ini karena kami melihatnya dari ukuran yang tepat,” tutur analis David Mercer dalam keterangan tertulis yang diterima detikINET, Senin (22/6/2009).

Dengan pengukuran per rumah tangga yang dilakukan Strategy Analytics, nampak bahwa penetrasi broadband di Asia memang sangat tinggi. Hampir separuh dari Top 10 negara di ranking itu adalah negara Asia.

Korea Selatan menempati posisi puncak ranking itu dengan 95 persen, disusul oleh Singapura pada 88 persen. Kemudian ada Taiwan di posisi 5 dan Hong Kong di posisi 6 dengan penetrasi keduanya pada 81 persen.

Selain Singapura, negara-negara Asia Tenggara menempati posisi yang relatif rendah. Malaysia, misalnya, ada di posisi 43 dengan angka 21 persen. Sedangkan Thailand (7%), Vietnam (7%) dan Filipina (5%) berturut-turut ada di posisi 50 hingga 52.

Mau tahu posisi Indonesia di mana? Tak lain ada di posisi paling buncit (57) dengan angka 1%.

Berikut adalah ranking broadband dunia versi Strategy Analytics:

1. Korea Selatan 95%
2. Singapura 88%
3. Belanda 85%
4. Denmark 82%

Itu penyakit P dan K, yaitu Primitif dan Kekanak-kanakan. Menyalahkan orang lain adalah pola pikir orang primitif. Di pedalaman Afrika, kalau ada orang yang sakit, yang Dipikirkan adalah : Siapa nih yang nyantet ? Selalu “siapa” Bukan “apa” penyebabnya. Bidang kedokteran modern selalu mencari tahu “apa” sebabnya, bukan “siapa”. Jadi kalau kita berpikir menyalahkan orang lain, itu sama dengan sikap primitif. Pakai koteka aja deh, nggak usah pakai dasi dan jas. Kekanak-kanakan. Kenapa ? Anak-anak selalu nggak pernah mau disalahkan. Kalau ada piring yang jatuh,” Adik tuh yang salah”, atau ” mbak tuh yang salah”. Anda pakai celana monyet aja kalau bersikap begitu. Kalau kita manusia yang berakal dan dewasa selalu akan mencari sebab terjadinya sesuatu.

1. MENYALAHKAN DIRI SENDIRI

Menyalahkan diri sendiri bahwa dirinya merasa tidak mampu. Anda pernah mengalaminya ? Kalau anda bilang tidak pernah, berarti anda bohong. “Ah, dia sih bisa, dia ahli, dia punya jabatan, dia berbakat dsb, Lha saya ini apa ?, wah saya nggak bisa deh. Dia S3, lha saya SMP, wah nggak bisa deh. Dia punya waktu banyak, saya sibuk, pasti nggak bisa deh”. Penyakit ini seperti kanker, tambah besar, besar di dalam mental diri sehingga bisa mencapai “improper guilty feeling”. Jadi walau yang salah partner, anak buah, atau bahkan atasan, berani bilang “Saya kok yang memang salah, tidak mampu dsb”. Penyakit ini pelan-pelan bisa membunuh kita. Merasa inferior, kita tidak punya kemampuan. Kita sering membandingkan keberhasilan orang lain dengan kekurangan kita, sehingga

1. TIDAK PUNYA GOAL / CITA-CITA Kita

sering terpaku dengan kesibukan kerja, tetapi arahnya tidak jelas. Sebaiknya kita selalu mempunyai target kerja dengan milestone. Buat target jangka panjang dan jangka pendek secara tertulis. Ilustrasinya kayak gini : Ada anjing jago lari yang sombong. Apa sih yang nggak bisa saya kejar, kuda aja kalah sama saya. Kemudian ada kelinci lompat-lompat, kiclik, kiclik, kiclik. Temannya bilang: “Nah tuh ada kelinci, kejar aja”. Dia kejar itu kelinci, wesss…., kelinci lari lebih kencang, anjingnya ngotot ngejar dan kelinci lari sipat-kuping (sampai nggak dengar / peduli apa-apa), dan akhirnya nggak terkejar, kelinci masuk pagar. Anjing kembali lagi ke temannya dan diketawain. “Ah lu, katanya jago lari, sama kelinci aja nggak bisa kejar. Katanya lu paling kencang”. “Lha dia goalnya untuk tetap hidup sih, survive, lha gua goalnya untuk fun aja sih”. Kalau “GOAL” kita hanya untuk “FUN”, isi waktu aja, ya hasilnya cuma terengah-engah saja.

1. MEMPUNYAI “GOAL”, TAPI NGAWUR MENCAPAINYA

Biasanya dialami oleh orang yang tidak “teachable”. Goalnya salah, fokus kita juga salah, jalannya juga salah, arahnya juga salah. Ilustrasinya kayak gini : ada pemuda yang terobsesi dengan emas, karena pengaruh tradisi yang mendewakan emas. Pemuda ini pergi ke pertokoan dan mengisi karungnya dengan emas dan seenaknya ngeloyor pergi. Tentu saja ditangkap polisi dan ditanya. Jawabnya : Pokoknya saya mau emas, saya nggak mau lihat kiri-kanan.

1. MENGAMBIL JALAN PINTAS, SHORT CUT

Keberhasilan tidak pernah dilalui dengan jalan pintas. Jalan pintas tidak membawa orang ke kesuksesan yang sebenarnya, real success, karena tidak mengikuti proses. Kalau kita menghindari proses, ya nggak matang, kalaupun matang ya dikarbit. Jadi, tidak ada tuh jalan pintas. Pemain bulutangkis Indonesia bangun jam 5 pagi, lari keliling Senayan, melakukan smesh 1000 kali. Itu bukan jalan pintas. Nggak ada orang yang leha-leha tiap hari pakai sarung, terus tiba-tiba jadi juara bulu tangkis. Nggak ada ! Kalau anda disuruh taruh uang 1 juta, dalam 3 minggu jadi 3 juta, masuk akal nggak tuh ? Nggak mungkin !. Karena hal itu melawan kodrat.

1. MENGAMBIL JALAN TERLALU PANJANG, TERLALU SANTAI

Analoginya begini : Pesawat terbang untuk bisa take-off, harus mempunyai kecepatan minimum. Pesawat Boeing 737, untuk dapat take-off, memerlukan kecepatan minimum 300 km/jam. Kalau kecepatan dia cuma 50 km/jam, ya cuma ngabis-ngabisin avtur aja, muter-muter aja. Lha kalau jalannya, runwaynya lurus anda cuma pakai kecepatan 50 km/jam, ya nggak bisa take-off, malah nyungsep iya. Iya kan ?

1. MENGABAIKAN HAL-HAL YANG KECIL

Dia maunya yang besar-besar, yang heboh, tapi yang kecil-kecil nggak dikerjain. Dia lupa bahwa struktur bangunan yang besar, pasti ada komponen yang kecilnya. Maunya yang hebat aja. Mengabaikan hal kecil aja nggak boleh, apalagi mengabaikan orang kecil.

1. TERLALU CEPAT MENYERAH

Jangan berhenti kerja pada masa percobaan 3 bulan. Bukan mengawali dengan yang salah yang bikin orang gagal, tetapi

1. BAYANG BAYANG MASA LALU

Wah puitis sekali, saya suka sekali dengan yang ini. Karena apa ? Kita selalu penuh memori kan ? Apa yang kita lakukan, masuk memori kita, minimal sebagai pertimbangan kita untuk langkah kita berikutnya. Apalagi kalau kita pernah gagal, nggak berani untuk mencoba lagi. Ini bisa balik lagi ke penyakit nomer-3. Kegagalan sebagai akibat bayang-bayang masa lalu yang tidak Terselesaikan dengan semestinya. Itu bayang-bayang negatif. Memori kita kadang-kadang sangat membatasi kita untuk maju ke depan. Kita kadang-kadang lupa bahwa hidup itu maju terus. “Waktu” itu maju kan ?. Ada nggak yang punya jam yang jalannya terbalik ?? Nggak ada kan ? Semuanya maju, hidup itu maju. Lari aja ke depan, kalaupun harus jatuh, pasti ke depan kok. Orang yang berhasil, pasti pernah gagal. Itu memori negatif yang menghalangi kesuksesan.

10.  MENGHIPNOTIS DIRI DENGAN KESUKSESAN SEMU

Biasa disebut Pseudo Success Syndrome. Kita dihipnotis dengan itu. Kita kalau pernah berhasil dengan sukses kecil, terus berhenti, nggak kemana-mana lagi.Sudah puas dengan sukses kecil tersebut. Napoleon pernah menyatakan: “Saat yang paling berbahaya datang bersama dengan kemenangan yang besar”. Itu saat yang paling berbahaya, karena orang lengah, mabuk kemenangan. Jangan terjebak dengan goal-goal hasil yang kecil, karena kita akan menembak sasaran yang besar, goal yang jauh. Jangan berpuas diri, ntar jadi sombong, terus takabur.
