Twitter illustration - The Verge
Violence cyberspace is often done through Twitter. Twitter CEO Dick Costolo also had been frustrated by the failure of its platform facing mode violence and harassment (bullying). "We are poor in dealing with violence. This has been going on for years," he said, in early February.
Following the statement Costolo, Twitter also promote various attempts to correct his mistakes. Earlier this year, Twitter is limited to a few surveys cast a verified account.
Broadly speaking, the survey was to ask the virtual experience of violence experienced during use Twitter. Some features are also updated to allow users to report violence experienced.
Now, Twitter is almost towards the finalization of the solution to intercept the violence. Launched on Tuesday (24/03/2015) from TheVerge, Twitter is experimenting with a feature called "quality filters" or quality filter.

A brief explanation of nonviolence Twitter features, quality filters - The Verge
 "This filter aims to remove all the chirp of user notification timeline, containing threats and abusive language, or is derived from the accounts of suspicious," as stated in a brief description of these features.
Because they tested, the majority of users have not been able to enjoy a quality filter. For the time being only a verified account will be tested the ability of anti-violence.
Unclear when all users are allowed to help insulate themselves from violence. Clearly, Twitter is still not confident to spawn a new feature to the public. Allegedly, some improvements are still to be done to close the various loopholes violence.
"While still a trial. The filter is more or less to adjust the notification is feasible," said representatives of Twitter.
As we all know, Twitter is like microblog that every second to collect various conversations and topics from around the world. Although only had room 140 character posts, Twitter proved to be able to move the masses.
However, like two sides of a coin, Twitter can be a driving force in his favor at the same crime. Some cases have already proved how great the influence of Twitter in this regard.
Some time ago, perched #SaveAhok hashtag trending topic (TT) of Indonesia. Netizens blasphemous Parliament who want to depose Ahok. Following the TT, unisex hashtag #SaveHajiLulung who had occupied the position of TT's. Tagar was used as material for Hajj Lulung joke. Some chirp refers to the act of harassment and humiliation.
There are still a lot of profanity and action that made the internet argument citizen aka netizens via Twitter, including action also bully the account, such as the case of Florence in Yogyakarta or certain objects, such as the city of Bekasi who had experienced abuse Indonesian netizens.
Hopefully, this time trials Twitter can establish quality filter before actually ready to fight violence in the virtual platform bird logo.

Really Windows 10 Internet for "pirates"?

Windows logo - Microsoft
Last week, reports surfaced that Microsoft will eliminate the Windows 10 operating system when it is launched around the middle of next year, including for users of pirated Windows.
"We were offered an upgrade to all PC owners who qualify, either native or not, to Windows 10, call the Microsoft Operating System Division Chief Terry Myerson told Reuters.
Coverage is causing confusion. Is it true that Microsoft offers operating system free of charge to users of pirated Windows?
Blogger Paul Thurrott who often write about everything about Microsoft thinks otherwise. Referring to the recent statement released by Microsoft about this, he said that the real Windows 10 will not be distributed free of charge to everyone.
"Although PCs with non-genuine software can upgrade to Windows 10, the process will not change the status of the license," Microsoft said in a statement that summarized from the site Thurrott (03/22/2015).
"If a device has been found to be using non-genuine software before upgrading, then the device in question will continue to be considered use of non-genuine software after upgrading," the statement continued.
So what has changed with Windows 10, related to the case? "Actually, nothing has changed," wrote Thurrott.
According to him, in case this is genuine or fake, Windows upgrade mechanism 10 will be the same as, for example, the process of upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1.
Pirated Windows users to upgrade to Windows 10 will not change the status of the operating system, which will still be considered as pirated and will not be supported by Microsoft.
If you want to change the status of the OS to be "genuine", the users still have to buy a Windows product key from Microsoft.
At the end of his writing, Thurrot regretted that does not change Microsoft's move against users of pirated software.
According to him, Microsoft could provide "amnesty" to the pirated OS so that users can switch use original software via a free upgrade, or at least provide a low-cost upgrade packages that are accessible to everyone.
"Unfortunately, that's not what happened," Thurrott lid.

Apple Boss Open the "ulcer" Android Smart Watches

Tim Cook at the launch of Apple Watch in San Francisco, Monday (03/09/2015). - The Verge
Incessant technological device vendors in the spawn smartwatch is inevitable. Because the smart clock is predicted to be human needs in the future after the smartphone era.

Google's first smart hour spawn product rather than its main competitor, Apple. Since last year, the Android Wear products are already embedded in the wrist of the instigators of the technology. Apple recently launched Apple's Watch in early March.

Responding to delay entering the realm smartwatch, Apple did not give a damn. In fact, at a lower price than that offered Wear Android, Apple is also no worry to lose competitiveness. The reason, Apple CEO Tim Cook claimed vendors Android maker Wear underdone in preparing the product.

"We're working on a small screen for smartwatch. This is much different from the mobile phone, tablet, or laptop. Therefore, its features should really fit," Cook said, as reported DigitalTrends and collected on Friday (03/20/2015) .

Are mostly applied to other vendors, said Cook, is the same formulation smartwatch with smartphones.

"They still use the features pinch-to-zoom and other gestures that we apply in the iPhone," Cook explained.

Specifically, according to Cook, Android Wear has other drawbacks, namely complexity because different components assemblers. "The company makes software, other companies make the hardware, this is causing friction," he said.

Cook pointed out the case for Huawei. Some time ago, Huawei Android protest because synchronization with smart timepiece product does not quite match up.

Not satisfied with the Android Wear, reportedly Samsung, Asus, HTC, LG, and other vendors will make smartwatch with its own operating system in the future.

Cook back in memory of Steve Jobs' spiel. He said Jobs has been predicted from the outset that in order to create a strong technology devices, a company must boil all constituent components themselves.

"Many people are already aware of the truth of logic Jobs. Unity components that we offer will provide the user experience more meaningful," he concluded.

Currently, it is still too early to tell whether Watch smartwatch will dominate the market. There are many observers technologies Watch optimistic about the future, but no less than a skeptic with products such expensive smart hours. We'll see.
