Farewell,  innovator….

October 9th, 2011 by Fubu

Steven Paul Jobs, or we can call him, Steve Jobs born on February 24th, 1955 at San Francisco, California. He was known as Apple Inc co Founder,  a multibillion company that produce Macintosh, iPod, iPhone and its latest product ,iPad. He was risen by foster parents. His childhood wasn’t really good, but he made it through and successfully become the Most Influent Person in Techonology and also in Film.

On 1st April, 1976, Steve and Woz (Steve Wozniak; Apple Founder) built Apple Computer with the very first product Apple 1. They called it Apple because Steve is like to eat the fruit. On 1984, Steve kicked out from Apple because his bad temperamental leadership according to his employers. But then he made another computer company called NEXT. on 20th December 1996, Apple bought NEXT and that was the time of return for Jobs to Apple Computer Inc.

His first step to save the company was made an cooperation with Apple’s enemy; Microsoft who was still lead by Bill Gates. Bill invested $150 million on Apple and promised to released Microsoft Office for Macintosh. And in return, Apple made Internet Explorer as Apple default browser.

At the same year, Apple released iMac and become a success elegant all in one computer. Jobs leadership successfully made Apple through its hardest time . On 5th January 2000, Apple confirmed Jobs as the CEO permanently.

Steve Jobs has brought Apple as the most powerful Technology company with released some of their success product such as: iPod in Music, iPhone Telecommunication and their latest product iPad in tablet. Jobs is listed as either primary inventor or co-inventor in 338 US patents or patent applications related to a range of technologies from actual computer and portable devices to user interfaces (including touch-based), speakers, keyboards, power adapters, staircases, clasps, sleeves, lanyards and packages.

Jobs announced his resignation from his role as Apple’s CEO on August 24, 2011. In his resignation letter, Jobs wrote that he could “no longer meet duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO”.

Jobs is survived by Laurene, his wife of 20 years, their three children and by Lisa Brennan-Jobs, his daughter from a previous relationship. His family released a statement saying that he “died peacefully”.

Jobs died at his home on October 5, 2011, due to complications from a rare form of Pancreatic Cancer. His death was announced by Apple in a statement which read: “We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today. Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.”

Since October 5, 2011, Apple’s corporate website greeted visitors with a simple page showing Jobs’s name and lifespan next to his grayscale portrait. Clicking on Jobs’s image led to an obituary that read “Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.” An email address was also posted for the public to share their memories, condolences, and thoughts.

A large number of newspapers carried news of his death on the front pages. Statements reacting to Jobs’s death were made by several notable people, including U.S. President Barack Obama, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and The Walt Disney Company’s Bob Iger. Wired News collected reactions and posted them in tribute on their homepage. Other statements of condolences were issued by many of Jobs’ friends and colleagues, such as Steve Wozniak and George Lucas.

At the time of his resignation, and again after his death, he was widely described as a visionary, pioneer and genius perhaps one of the foremost in the field of business,innovation, and product design and a man who had profoundly changed the face of the modern world, revolutionized at least six different industries and who was an “exemplar for all chief executives”. His death was widely mourned and considered a loss to the world by commentators across the globe.

After his resignation as Apple’s CEO, Jobs was characterized as the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford of his time.

Savor the Coffee, not the cup…. C’est la vie!

October 6th, 2011 by Fubu

Life is like a cup of Coffee. Here is the story….

“A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups – porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite – telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee, not the cups!

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

This story is describe of what most people live their life. They get mesmerized by the package of the life while they forgot to enjoy what life is. People tend to reach the best package and then start to eyeing other’s package and compare to theirs.

From now on, start to enjoy life instead of worrying about how to get the best tools of life. because “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.” C’est la Vie!!!!

The Time Has Come…

April 22nd, 2011 by Fubu

When the sun goes down, it means the day is end and night has come
When the moon shines, it means the stars will be its company to light the night
When a mother feels the contraction, it means a newborn is on the way

And when the time is come, it means the time to reveal all the truth
Nothing but the hurt truth…

Dopplegänger

November 21st, 2010 by Fubu

Can you be at two places at a time? That question might sound silly or ridicilous. But for some reason, it can be. Of course, what i’m talking about is not about twins who have two bodies and born together at the same time. I’m talking about Dopplegänger. Some of you maybe already know or hear about this word. If you a big fans of Vampire Diaries must be familiar about this word. Yes, Elena is Katherine Dopplegänger. Or maybe we can say that Katherine is Elena’s ancestor, they exactly look alike each other. But what is Dopplegänger?

Reach your own star

June 24th, 2010 by Fubu

pick your star and reach for it

Pick your star and reach for it (painting credit to Vina Puspita)

Akhirnya baru berani lg nulis di blog ini. Setelah sekian lama tak berani melirik karena foto Brownies yg selalu mengingatkan saya pada anjing pertama saya itu.

Well, kali ini yang ingin saya tulis adalah bertemakan ‘Reach your own star’. Istilah ini saya gunakan karena berkaitan dengan keadaan di sekitar saya. Sejak kecil kita terbiasa dengan pepatah ‘Gantungkan cita-citamu setinggi langit’, istilah itu saya kaitkan kata ‘langit’ dengan ‘bintang’ (bukankah di langit ada bintang?). Banyak lagi pepatah lain yang bertujuan untuk memompa semangat kita untuk meraih cita-cita (aka impian).

Don’t STOP!!!

March 24th, 2009 by Fubu

When everyone around you is messing you up,

But you have to keep on good

 

When People around you is breaking down,

But you have to stand tall

 

When you have nobody to hold on,

But you still have yourself to rely on

 

When people tell you to pull back,

But you’ve got to move on

 

When there’s seems no way out,

But you still have a hope

 

When the one you love leaving you alone,

But you gotta be strong

 

Don’t stop! Just take a rest.

You may cry but not beg.

Find the answer deep down in your heart.

SAW The Movies

January 22nd, 2009 by Fubu

SAW adalah film horor favorit saya sampai saat ini.  Film ini merupakan film horor yang menurut saya adalah horor yang ‘mendidik’. Baik mendidik korban di dalam filemnya, maupun penonton yang menonton seri film horor ini. Alasan terbesar saya menyukai SAW dari seri pertama hingga yang terakhir dirilis akhir tahun lalu, adalah karena film ini adalah film horor yang sama sekali tak ada hantunya. Hahaha, tentu saja. Karena SAW bukan jenis horor yang mengangkat hantu dalam ceritanya. SAW adalah jenis film horor yang mengangkat ‘kesadisan’ sekaligus ‘mendidik’ dalam jalan ceritanya. Jika sedari tadi saya menggunakan kata ‘mendidik’ pada film SAW, maka akan saya jelaskan penyebabnya dengan menguraikan sedikit dari sejarah panjang film ini.
