AMAZING NATURE IN THE WORLD

iphone 5

                  Apple has dominated the smartphone market since 2007 with its widely sought-after iPhones. Today, in Cupertino, Calif., Apple unveiled the next entry in the iPhone family, the iPhone 5. Simply put, it's a device that's leaps and bounds better than any other Apple phone to date.

But is it right for you? Consider the following features of the new phone:

A thinner, lighter phone with a larger, 4-inch screen

A major new feature of the phone is its new, larger 4-inch size. That's enough to fit a fifth row of icons on every screen. The iPhone 5 boasts a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, with 1136 x 640 Retina display resolution. And that's not all — the new display offers 44% more color saturation than previous iPhone models, with a touch sensor wired directly into the screen to keep the phone thin and reduce glare. Apps that have been designed for the new, larger iPhone will fill up the whole screen; those that have yet to be updated will use black borders on the top and bottom to prevent stretching and warping of images. Still, if you're looking for a large screen, the Samsung Galaxy III S has the iPhone 5 beat with its 4.8-inch behemoth display.

And while the screen is getting larger, the phone itself is actually getting thinner and lighter. The new iPhone 5 is made entirely out of glass and aluminum. It's 7.8 mm, 18% thinner than the iPhone 4S, and at 112 grams, it's 20% lighter.

Because it's a phone, the device will also need a microphone to pick up your voice. Well, the new iPhone 5 actually has three, and contains noise-cancelling technology to boot so your voice comes across as clear as possible. Apple has also improved the earpiece speaker design, so you can hear who's calling you as clearly as they can hear you.

And yes, before you ask — the iPhone 5 is available in both black and white.

Bringing 4G LTE to the masses

One of the major disappointments with last year's iPhone 4S launch was the lack of high-speed 4G LTE connectivity. Thankfully, the new iPhone 5 takes full advantage of the nation's fastest LTE networks on AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. If you're currently off contract, this might be a great time toconsider switching carriers.

We can rebuild it. Faster. Stronger.

The new iPhone 5 utilizes a new A6 chip. It offers twice the speed of the A5 chip in the iPhone 4S, meaning applications and games load and work twice as fast. It also offers twice the graphics power, allowing games on the new phone to offer console-quality images and play. Best of all, the A6 is 22% smaller than the current A5 chip, so it requires less power.

Building a better battery

It wouldn't be a new iPhone without an improved battery, and indeed, Apple is taking performance to the next level. According to the company, the new phone will offer 8 full hours' worth of 3G talk, 3G browsing, or LTE browsing, 10 hours of wifi browsing or video, 40 hours of music, and 225 hours of standby — over nine days without a charge. That's not the best in the industry, but it's certainly competitive with the best.

Taking pictures and video to the next level

Apple also upped their camera game, outfitting the iPhone 5 with an 8-megapixel, 3264 x 2448 camera. For those interested in specifics, the new device will offer:

• f/2.4 aperture
• hybrid IR filter
• backside illumination
• five element lens
• dynamic low-light mode
• sapphire crystal lens

But that's not all — the new A6 chip improves a lot of the camera functionality, as well. You get 40% faster photo capture than the 4S, better noise reduction, and better low-light performance. The iPhone 5 even features something called Panorama Mode, a feature that allows you to easily take massive 28-megapixel panorama pictures. You can also take 1080p HD video, which includes improved video stabilization, face detection, and the ability snap photos while recording a video. In short, you'll be able to snap some of the most impressive phone pictures yet.

Still, though the iPhone's camera has been vastly improved, it may not be the best option if you truly care about taking the absolute best picture possible. Check out our list of the top camera-replacement phones — you're sure to find something better.

PDA computer

                      

The PDA Computer

Microprocessors and Memory
Like standard desktop and laptop computers, PDAs are powered by microprocessors.

 The microprocessor is the brain of the PDA, and it coordinates all of the functions according to programmed instructions. Unlike desktop PCs and laptops, PDAs use smaller, cheaper
 microprocessors. Although these microprocessors tend to be slower than their PC counterparts,
 they're adequate for the tasks that PDAs perform. The benefits of small size and price outweigh
the cost of slow speeds.

A PDA doesn't have a hard disk. It stores basic programs (address book, calendar, memo pad
 and operating system) in a read-only memory (ROM) chip, which remains intact even when the
 machine shuts down. Your data and any programs you add later are stored in the device's
random-access memory (RAM). Information in RAM is only available when the device is on.
Due to their design, PDAs keep data in RAM safe because they continue to draw a small amount
 of power from the batteries even when you turn the device off.

Less powerful PDAs have lower amounts of RAM. However, many application programs take up
 significant memory space, so most models have more memory. Also, Pocket PC devices
 generally require more resources and have even more RAM. To provide additional memory,
 many PDAs accept removable flash media add-on cards. These are handy for storing large files or multimedia content, such as digital photos.

Some newer PDAs, such as the Palm Tungsten E2, use flash memory instead of RAM.
Flash memory is non-volatile, which means it preserves the data and applications it stores --
even when all battery power is depleted.

Anak Kecil yang Takut Api

 

Dalam sebuah riwayat menyatakan bahwa ada seorang lelaki tua sedang berjalan-jalan di 
tepi sungai, sedang dia berjalan-jalan dia terpandang seorang anak kecil sedang 
mengambil wudhu’ sambil menangis.

Apabila orang tua itu melihat anak kecil tadi menangis, dia pun berkata, “Wahai anak 
kecil kenapa kamu menangis?”

Maka berkata anak kecil itu, “Wahai pakcik saya telah membaca ayat al-Qur’an sehingga 
sampai kepada ayat yang berbunyi, “Yaa ayyuhal ladziina aamanuu quu anfusakum”
 yang bermaksud, ” Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, jagalah olehmu sekalian akan dirimu.” 
Saya menangis sebab saya takut akan dimasukkan ke dalam api neraka.”

Berkata orang tua itu, “Wahai anak, janganlah kamu takut, sesungguhnya kamu 
terpelihara dan kamu tidak akan dimasukkan ke dalm api neraka.”

Berkata orang tua itu, sambil menangis ,"sesungguh anak kecil ini lebih takut 
kepada neraka daripada orang yang dewasa maka bagaimanakah keadaan kami nanti?"

Berkata anak kecil itu, “Wahai pakcik, pakcik adalah orang yang berakal, tidakkah pakcik 
lihat kalau orang menyalakan api maka yang pertama sekali yang mereka akan letakkan 
ialah ranting-ranting kayu yang kecil dahulu kemudian baru mereka letakkan yang besar. 
Jadi tentulah saya yang kecil ini akan dibakar dahulu sebelum dibakar orang dewasa.”
