1. The reticence is understandable, considering that the development and manufacture of a new microprocessor is one of the biggest, riskiest bets in business
2. Simply building a fab capable of producing a chip like the E5 costs at least $8.5 billion, according to Gartner, and that doesn’t include the costs of research and development ($2 billion-plus) or of designing the circuit layout (more than $300 million)
3. “If you need short-term gratification, don’t be a chip designer,” says Pat Gelsinger, chief executive of VMware and a longtime Intel executive who most recently served as the company’s chief technology officer.
4. A top-of-the-line E5 is the size of a postage stamp, retails for $4,115, and uses about 60 percent more energy per year than a large Whirlpool refrigerator.
5. Intel, based in Santa Clara, Calif created the first microprocessor in 1971 and, under the leadership of Andy Grove, became a household name in the 1990s, he selling the chips that ran most personal computers
6. The company recently announced layoffs of 11 percent of its workforce, as CEO Brian Krzanich puts it, to “reinvent ourselves.”
7. This dominance is the result of competitors’ failings and Intel’s willingness to spend whatever it must to ensure large, predictable improvements to its products, every single year. “Our customers expect that they will get a 20 percent increase in performance at the same price that they paid last year,” says Diane Bryant, an Intel executive vice president and general manager of the company’s data center business

Children Addicted to Computer Games

Everywhere you find children you will also find computer games, and the fascination with electronic entertainments are almost as popular with girls as compared to boys.

LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual dan Trangender)

• Apa itu LGBT ?

     LGBT ada suatu kelainan sexual, yang tidak dapat dipungkiri lagi keberadaanya. Di indonesia sendiri sudah banyak contoh kasus LGBT, dan saat ini sudah banyak terbongkar ke ranah publik.

• Mengapa seseorang bisa menjadi LGBT ?

     Mungkin semua yang seperti itu terpengaruh dengan lingkungannya yang memaksa mereka melakukan hal seperti itu, atau ada alasan lain seseorang menjadi gay, lesbian, transgender ataupun bisexual ? Bisa saja, karena setiap orang mempunyai alasan mereka masing-masing untuk melakukan hal seperti itu,

• Apakah wajar menjadi seorang LGBT ?

     Tuhan sudah menciptakan laki-laki dan perempuan dengan seutuhnya, tuhan sudah menciptakan kita berpasangan, tetapi mengapa harus ada orang yang memilih LGBT ? Dari segi agama dan norma sudah jelas sekali tidak diperbolehkan seperti itu, tetapi mereka mengapa tetap kekeh dengan pendirianya untuk menjadi seorang LGBT ? Apakah mereka tak bertuhan ? Atau tuhan memperbolehkan seperti itu ? Seorang laki-laki berpasangan dengan laki-laki atau sebaliknya, perempuan mencoba untuk mencoba menjadi laki-laki atau sebaliknya.



     Sekarang sudah banyak sekali forum-forum yang membahas tentang LGBT, ada pro dan ada kontra, para LGBT pun punya perkumpulan, mereka punya tempat untuk mencurahkan isi hati atau unek-unek mereka (melela.org). Menurut saya tidak seharusnya orang-orang seperti itu, melarikan diri dari takdir mereka yang sudah tidak bisa diubah, bukan saya membenci orang-orang LGBT, tetapi kenapa harus LGBT ? apakah tidak ada yang lain ? apakah wajar seorang seperti itu ? Mengubah kodrat yang sudah diberikan oleh tuhan, atau mereka tidak sadar apa yang mereka lakukan ? Entahlah apa yang ada di pikiran mereka.



      Haruskan orang-orang seperti itu kita jauhi atau tetap kita dekati ? Ya, sejatinya mereka juga manusia yang tidak luput dari kesalahan, seharusnya kita jangan mencaci, memaki ataupun menjauhi orang-orang seperti itu, kalau kita bisa rangkul kenapa tidak ? Disini saya tidak memihak mereka, sudah jelas yang mereka lakukan adalah salah besar dengan memalingkan kodrat yang sudah diberi oleh tuhan, tetapi disini saja tidak membenci mereka sebagaimana mestinya. Mereka juga manusia, mereka juga makan, minum dan buang air, hanya saja mereka sedikit berbeda dengan manusia normal lainnya.
