Gunakan Opera kalau koneksi internet anda lambat

February 22nd, 2010

Ya, saya menggunakan judul diatas bukan berarti saya pengguna setia browser Opera. Tetapi jika anda menggunakan koneksi internet yang lambat, seperti punya saya, maka saya sangat menyarankan anda menggunakan browser Opera. Dengan fitur Opera turbo, browser Opera dapat menjalankan fungsinya sebagai internet browser dengan baik meski koneksi anda sangat lambat.
Saya menggunakan telkom flexi untuk koneksi internet saya. Meski di status speed tertulis 460 kbps, tetapi browsing menggunakan Flexi di tempat saya terasa sangaaat lambat, maklum mungkin karena pengaruh saya berada di daerah yang agak terpencil. Kalau saya menggunakan Firefox atau browser lain seperti Google Chrome, ada banyak website yang gagal terbuka. Kalaupun bisa terbuka maka tidak bisa sempurna terbuka. Saya mengalami kesulitan ketika membuka gmail.com, yahoo.com dan beberapa website lain yang memerlukan authentifikasi username dan password.
Tetapi kalau saya menggunakan Opera sebagai browser saya, maka masyallah, jauh sekali bedanya dengan menggunakan browser lain. Saya aktifkan fitur Opera turbo dan alhamdulillah browsing terasa lancar. Semua website terbuka dengan sempurna dan saya bisa membuka beberapa website bersamaan, suatu hal yang hampir tidak bisa saya lakukan dengan browser lain.
Setelah saya amati, ada beberapa hal yang menarik mengenai fitur Opera turbo ini. Ternyata kalau menggunakan Opera turbo, ada beberapa fitur dari website yang kita buka tersebut yang di non aktifkan sehingga akan mempercepat proses loading website. Misalnya, flash atau multimedia content yang lain akan secara otomatis di disable sementara. Jadi masuk akal jika Opera turbo mampu meningkatkan proses browsing internet.
Jadi kalau anda mengalami hal yang sama dengan saya, koneksi internet terbatas, saya sarankan menggunakan Opera dan set fitur Opera turbo ke ON.

Gnome is better than KDE ??

February 11th, 2010

Again, after comparing Ubuntu 9.10 versus Mandriva 2010, I try to write my own opinion regarding comparison between Gnome and KDE. I think most of Linux users agree that Gnome used by most Linux users better than KDE. But, is Gnome better than KDE?

To me, Gnome is more user friendly compared to KDE. It simple, fast and responsive. KDE is more complex, more eye catching but lack in performance. Am I right? I am not currently speaking about the technologies and story behind those two desktop environment in Linux.

Is Gnome more stable than KDE? hmmm….hard to answer this question since both Gnome and KDE is improving the stability. I think stability is not a big deal righ now between them. Its easier to change the setting in Gnome because it less customizable other than KDE. KDE has many features we can tweak and change the setting. But these lot of features sometimes confusing for some users, like me

So, its not too much if I say Gnome is easier for most Linux users compared to KDE. But, its up to you, both of them offers many option advantages and disadvantages.

Google Chrome OS 0.4.223 doesn’t work on AMD Phenom II

November 23rd, 2009

I have downloaded the Google Chrome OS version 0.4.223 and I want to try on my computer with AMD Phenom II X4 processor. I download the ISO file of Google Chrome OS 0.4.223 from here, and it was successful.

Then I install this new OS from Google in my Windows XP box using VirtualBox version 3.0. At first it run well, showing the Grub splash of Google Chrome OS built with SUSE Studio. Then I choose Chrome OS to get started.

After it, my VirtualBox screen go blank, covered with pure black screen. Hmmm…what’s up with my Chrome? Why it doesn’t work on my Phenom II X4 computer? Still try to find out why.
