An online magazine is a web site hosted online that provides similar periodic content to that of a print produced magazine. The term "online magazine" has come to represent several different Internet presentations of a publication. An "online magazine" is now more broadly understood to define the online-only presentation of periodic general interest subject material. An online-only presentation of a niche or special interest subject matter (a zine) is referred to as an ezine or a webzine.

Many general interest online magazines provide free access to all aspects of their online content although some publishers have opted to require a subscription fee to access premium online article and/or multi-media content. Online magazines generate revenue based on targeted search ads to web-site visitors, banner ads (online display advertising), affiliate links, online classified ads, product-purchase capabilities, advertiser directory links, or alternative informational/commercial purpose.

Many large print-publishers now provide digital reproduction of their print magazine titles through various online services for a fee. These service providers also refer to their collections of these digital format products as online magazines.

For web sites that represent an existing print magazine, the web site is usually referred to as "<publication title> Online", whereas an online only magazine which is often titled "<publication title> Online Magazine".

2. Pengimbas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scanner)In computing, a scanner is a device that analyzes an image (such as a photograph, printed text, or handwriting) or an object (such as an ornament) and converts it to a digital image. Most scanners today are variations of the desktop (or flatbed) scanner The

flatbed scanner is the most common in offices. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, were briefly popular but are now not used due to the difficulty of obtaining a high-quality image. Both these types of scanners use charge-coupled device (CCD) or Contact Image Sensor (CIS) as the image sensor, whereas older drum scanners use a photomultiplier tube as the image sensor.

Another category of scanner is a rotary scanner used for high-speed document scanning. This is another kind of drum scanner, but it uses a CCD array instead of a photomultiplier.

Other types of scanners are planetary scanners, which take photographs of books and documents, and 3D scanners, for producing three-dimensional models of object.

3. Kamera Digital (http://www.wacona.com/input/input.html)Digital Camera - A digital camera can be used to take pictures.  It can be hooked up to a computer to transfer the pictures from the camera to the computer.  Some digital cameras hold a floppy disk, and the floppy disk can be taken out of the camera and put directly into the computer. It's easy to understand the booming business that digital camera manufacturers are doing these days. The host of easy-to-use personal and business publishing applications, the dramatic expansion of the Web and its insatiable appetite for visual images, and the proliferation of inexpensive printers capable of photo-realistic output make a digital camera an enticing add-on. Those factors, combined with improving image quality and falling prices, put the digital camera on the cusp of becoming a standard peripheral for a home or business PC.

4. Video Digital (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_video_recorder)A digital video recorder (DVR) (or personal video recorder (PVR)) is a device that records video without videotape to a hard drive-based digital storage medium. The term includes stand-alone set-top boxes and software for personal computers which enables video capture and playback to and from disk.

After all, they're targeted toward the professional video market, and ... well, need I say more? However, there's a little thing called the Macintosh desktop video revolution going on right now. While this revolution might seem to be dominated at the moment by dads digitizing footage of their kids running on the beach, it does, on the whole, have some happy implications for video pros as well. The most important of these for our purpose here are pricing and availability. This means, in short, more stuff at better prices.

In the controller arena, the first to address these recent realities is Contour Design, maker of ergonomic input devices and accessories, such as mice, wrist rests and the like. Their latest offering, which began shipping in volume not too many days ago, is the ShuttlePro, a USB shuttle/jog and multimedia controller selling for $125.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-line_storage)

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_storage)Electronic information may be stored in either an analog or digital signal format. There are many electronic signal processing purposes for storing (recording) electronically encoded information. Computing is the main purpose in modern times.

Computer storage, computer memory, and often casually memory refer to computer components, devices and recording media that retain data for some interval of time. Computer storage provides one of the core functions of the modern computer, that of information retention. It is one of the fundamental components of all modern computers, and coupled with a central processing unit (CPU), implements the basic Von Neumann computer model used since the 1940s.

In contemporary usage, memory usually refers to a form of solid state storage known as random access memory (RAM) and sometimes other forms of fast but temporary storage. Similarly, storage more commonly refers to mass storage - optical discs, forms of magnetic storage like hard disks, and other types of storage which are slower than RAM, but of a more permanent nature. These contemporary distinctions are helpful, because they are also fundamental to the architecture of computers in general. As well, they reflect an important and significant technical difference between memory and mass storage devices, which has been blurred by the historical usage of the terms "main storage" (and sometimes "primary storage") for random access memory, and "secondary storage" for mass storage devices. This is explained in the following sections, in which the traditional "storage" terms are used as sub-headings for convenience.

1. Cakera Keras – Sata HDD At first let’s check out what Western Digital Company says about its RAID Edition HDDs. As we got it from the info available on the company’s official web-site, their major goal was to design a storage solution boasting highest reliability, which would meet the Enterprise devices standards. In reality it means that the hard disk drives should be able to work reliably in a 24x7, continuous duty cycle environment. The manufacturer guarantees 1 million hours MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). RAID Edition HDDs support Time Limited Error Recovery technology (TLER), which serves to improve compatibility with RAID adapters and to prevent the HDDs from failing during error

correction. Of course, these drives also support the time-tested Data Lifeguard Tools technology. This software utility works with the embedded Data Lifeguard hardware features (including shock protection, an environmental protection system, and embedded error detection and repair features) to make hard drive installation, management, and diagnostics simple and worry-free. Here I can also add that the RAID Edition HDD family uses the traditional fluid dynamic bearings that not only improve the HDD acoustic parameters (such as noise and vibration), but also improve hard drive reliability and reduce heat. The high performance of these drives is guaranteed by the 7,200rpm spindle rotation speed and 8MB buffer.

RAID Edition HDD family includes solutions with the storage capacity of 120GB, 160GB and 250GB. The HDDs are designed either for the classical EIDE interface or for the new SATA. In this review we are going to take a closer look at the top model from this family: the 250GB WD2500SD solution. Besides the already mentioned above technical specifications of this product, I would like to add that the claimed seek time is 8.9ms, the average wait time is 4.5ms, and the track-to-track seek time is 2.0ms. The internal data transfer rate is 61MB/s, while the external data transfer rate via the SATA interface can reach 150MB/s.

2. Storan mudah alihA type of disk drive system in which hard disks are enclosed in plastic or metal cartridges so that they can be removed like floppy disks. Removable disk drives combine the best aspects of hard and floppy disks. They are nearly as capacious and fast as hard disks and have the portability of floppy disks. Their biggest drawback is that they're relatively expensive.

Contoh:

a) Iomega REVREV is a removable hard drive-based disk storage system from Iomega.

The small removable disks store 35 or 70 gigabytes and are based on hard-drive technology. Like a standard hard drive, the REV system uses a flying head to read and write data to a spinning platter. The removable disks contain the platter, spindle, and motor, while the drive heads and drive controller are contained within the REV drive. Current drives allow for data transfer rates of about 25 megabytes per second.

The REV is available as an external desktop model with FireWire, SCSI or USB 2.0 interfaces, an internal model with SCSI, ATAPI, or SATA interfaces, or an external Server model which features a cartridge autoloader and SCSI interface. Iomega also offers a 320GB Network Attached Storage appliance which features a built-in REV. The drives are compatible with Macintosh, Windows, and Linux operating systems, although some only with particular models or interfaces.

This product, especially the server model, is marketed as a replacement of tape drive technology for enterprise data backup, with claims of higher reliability, greater speed, and random access capability. Although the drive is certainly faster than tape and offers hard-drive like access, the reliability question has yet to be demonstrated conclusively in the marketplace.

The Rev is in many ways a successor to Iomega's Jaz drive, which used a similar removable hard-disk-platter concept. However the Jaz design did not put the drive motor in the cartridge. In some circles, REV drives are referred to as RRD, for "Removable Rigid Disk", because SCSI REV drives identify themselves as "RRD" drives to the host OS.

The drives are formatted with the UDF file system on Windows and Unix/Linux. On Apple systems, they may be formatted as HFS+ or UDF in Mac OS X.

In Windows, the rev drive displays as an Icon in 'My Computer'.

On Apple systems, the rev drive icon will appear on the desktop when a cartridge is inserted.

To mount a Rev drive in Linux, you have to know the /dev location of the rev drive, which varies by the type of drive used.

Practical computer systems divide software into three major classes: system software, programming software and application software, although the distinction is arbitrary, and often blurred.

System software helps run the computer hardware and computer system. It includes operating systems, device drivers, diagnostic tools, servers, windowing systems, utilities and more. The purpose of systems software is to insulate the applications programmer as much as possible from the details of the particular computer complex being use, especially memory and other hardware features, and such accessory devices as communications, printers, readers, displays, keyboards, etc.

Programming software usually provides tools to assist a programmer in writing computer programs and software using different programming languages in a more convenient way. The tools include text editors, compilers, interpreters, linkers, debuggers, and so on. An Integrated development environment (IDE) merges those tools into a software bundle, and a programmer may not need to

type multiple commands for compiling, interpreter, debugging, tracing, and etc., because the IDE usually has an advanced graphical user interface, or GUI.

Application software allows humans to accomplish one or more specific (non-computer related) tasks. Typical applications include industrial automation, business software, educational software, medical software, databases and computer games. Businesses are probably the biggest users of application software, but almost every field of human activity now uses some form of application software. It is used to automate all sorts of functions.

- popular: adobe photoshop, corel draw (windows, Mcintosh), photogenic (linux)

Adobe Photoshop, or simply Photoshop, is a graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Systems. It is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation, and, in addition to Adobe Acrobat, is one of the best-known pieces of software produced by Adobe Systems. It is considered the industry standard in most jobs related to the use of visual elements. Photoshop is available for Mac OS, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows; versions up to Photoshop 9.0 can also be used with other operating systems such as Linux using software such as CrossOver Office. Past versions of the program were ported to the SGI IRIX and Sun Solaris platforms, but official support for this port was dropped after version 3.

Although primarily designed to edit images for paper-based printing, Photoshop is used increasingly to produce images for the World Wide Web. Recent versions bundle a related application, Adobe ImageReady, to provide a more specialized set of tools for this purpose.

Photoshop also has strong ties with other Adobe software for media editing, animation and authoring. Files in Photoshop's native format, .PSD, can be exported to and from Adobe ImageReady, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere, After Effects and Adobe Encore DVD to make professional standard DVDs, provide non-linear editing and special effects services such as backgrounds, textures and so on for television, film and the Web. For example, Photoshop CS broadly supports making menus and buttons for DVDs. For .PSD files exported as a menu or button, it only needs to have layers, nested in layer sets with a cueing format and Adobe Encore DVD reads them as buttons or menus.

Flash – kelebihan: (http://www.flashmagazine.com/1076.htm)- A great authoring tool for interactive content. Integrates most features needed for making a game.

- Flash is everywhere. For the web version of a game, 96% of the audience won't need to download anything except the game. More importantly, many people won't be able to install arbitrary ActiveX controls, or use a Java plugin, whereas Flash is preinstalled with Windows on corporate machines.

- Near trivial porting to Macintosh. Open up another 5% of the market to an audience desperate for decent games.

- Easy conversion from a full game to a web version, or if going the other way, a natural path to take from web version to full downloadable game.

- Cost is essentially free - there is a small cost for the Flash IDE, but it's nearly free to distribute (just some minor licensing things to worry about that don't cost anything). Royalty-free licenses for decoders such as MP3 and Sorensen Spark are included.

- Ease of finding artists. There is a huge talent pool to draw from for creating art or animations for Flash, either on staff or contract.

- Embed your game in PowerPoint when giving a GDC presentation!

- A gigantic community and secondary market. There are thousands of Flash related web sites with tutorials, articles, and discussions. There are hundreds of Flash add-ons or components for sale.

- Easy copy-paste to test things out. Flash permits drag-and-drop or copy-paste from one FLA to another, and it automatically brings along any dependent objects into the new library. This can make it incredibly easy to try out quick ideas outside of the main game, and is the one case where it's worth using the debugger.

- Logic Pro is a MIDI sequencer and Digital Audio Workstation software application that runs on the Mac OS X platform. Originally created by German software developer C-Lab, then Emagic, Logic Pro became an Apple product when Apple bought out Emagic in 2002. A cut-down version, Logic Express, is also available from Apple, and their Soundtrack Pro product can also use Logic plugins. GarageBand also uses Logic's audio engine.

Logic Pro provides software instruments, synthesisers, audio effects and recording facilities for music synthesis. It also supports Apple Loops - professionally-recorded instrument loops that can be used as beats and are royalty-free. Audio effects include distortions, dynamics processors, equalization filters and delays. The Space Designer plugin, for example, simulates the acoustics of audio played in different environments, such as rooms of varying size, or producing the echoes that might be present on high mountains. Logic can work with MIDI keyboards and control surfaces for input and

processing. It also features real-time scoring in musical notation, supporting guitar tablature, chord abbreviations and drum notation.

Logic Pro and Express share much functionality and virtually the same interface. Logic Express is limited to two-channel stereo mixdown, while Logic Pro can handle multichannel surround sound. Both can handle up to 255 audio tracks, depending on system performance (CPU, Hard disk Throughput and Seek time). A Logic Pro/Express feature comparison table can be found on Apple's site.

The application also features distributed processing abilities, which can function across an Ethernet LAN. One machine runs the Logic Pro app, while the other machines on the network run the Logic node app. Logic will then offload the effects and synth processing to the other machines on the network. If the network is fast enough (i.e. gigabit Ethernet) this works in real time. This allows a user to use machines that are not powerful enough to be used as the main DAW but still able to make a significant contribution to the digital signal processing.

-Video editing software is application software that handles the editing of video sequences on a computer. It usually includes the ability to import and export video, cut and paste sections of a video clip, add special effects and transitions, and sometimes includes the ability to encode the video for creation of a DVD, Web video, mobile phone video or video podcast. Video editing software generally also allows for some limited editing of the audio clips that accompany the video or, at least, the ability to sync the audio with the video.

Lightworks, Avid and more recently, Apple's Final Cut Pro are pioneers in video editing software and have a great influence on how films and TV programmes are edited. These systems use custom hardware for video processing.

With the availability of commodity video processing hardware, specialist video editing cards, and computers designed specifically for non-linear video editing, many software packages are now available to work with them.

- Final Cut Pro is a professional non-linear editing system created by Apple Computer that allows users to edit video. The latest releases are for Mac OS X only. From the early 2000s, Final Cut has developed a large user base and is the first low cost mass market product to seriously challenge the monopoly of Avid editing products - the most well-established non linear editing system. As such, it has driven down the cost of professional video editing and has created a new class of product in professional applications – the desktop editor. Used on Macintosh computers, it is a resolution-independent software editing front-end to a user-configurable hardware architecture. It can be used to edit material ranging from FireWire-attached MiniDV video from a consumer digital video camera in the home environment to High-Definition (HD) and film material in a full professional studio environment. The software loads the video onto the Mac, where it can

be edited and processed. The current version of Final Cut Pro 5.1 will run on both Intel and PowerPC processors.

Final Cut Pro provides non-linear, non-destructive editing of any QuickTime compatible video format. It supports an unlimited number of simultaneously composited video tracks; up to 99 audio tracks; multi-cam editing, for cutting video from multiple camera sources; as well as standard ripple, roll, slip, slide, scrub, razor blade and time remapping edit functions. It comes with a range of dissolve, iris, distortion and basic 3D transitions and a range of video and audio filters such as keying tools, mattes and vocal de-poppers and de-essers. It also has a manual 3-way color correction filter, videoscopes and a selection of generators, such as slugs, test cards and noise.

The latest version of Final Cut Pro (version 5) claims better integration with Apple's other Pro applications and improved codec support for editing HD, DV and SD video formats, along with Panasonic's new solid-state recording technology, P2. A new technology called DynamicRT built on the RT Extreme technology released with Final Cut Pro 4. DynamicRT allows a real-time multistream effects architecture, which can be set to automatically adjust image quality and frame rate during playback to maintain real time effects. For example, when there are a large number of video streams playing simultaneously, it will change, on the fly, to a mode that reduces the quality of the playback so that all of them can be seen in real time; when the computer is capable of it, it will automatically return playback to native quality (that is, when there are fewer simultaneous video streams). Major limitations of the program include the inability to edit SD and HD on the same timeline, and the lack of automatic color correction.

Final Cut Pro 5 uses the included application, Cinema Tools, to keep track of original film sources through the telecine editing processes. Calligraphy 2 from BorisFX - a plug-in that works natively in Final Cut Pro - is included for higher quality titling and is a subset of the Boris Graffiti titling technology.

- Macromedia Dreamweaver is a web development tool, created by Macromedia (now Adobe Systems), which is currently in version 8. Initial versions of the application served as simple WYSIWYG HTML editors but more recent versions have incorporated notable support for many other web technologies such as CSS, JavaScript, and various server-side scripting frameworks. Dreamweaver has enjoyed widespread success since the late 1990s and currently holds approximately 80% of the HTML editor market. [citation needed] The software is available for both the Mac and Windows platforms, but can also be run on Unix-like platforms through the use of emulation software such as Wine.

As a WYSIWYG editor powered by the Presto Rendering engine, Dreamweaver can hide the details of pages' HTML code from the user, making it possible for non-experts to easily create web pages and sites. Some web developers criticize this approach as producing HTML pages that are much larger than they should be, which can cause web browsers to perform poorly. This can be particularly true because the application makes it

very easy to create table-based layouts. In addition, some web site developers have criticized Dreamweaver in the past for producing code that often does not comply with W3C standards though this has improved considerably in recent versions. The most recent version of Dreamweaver (8) performs poorly on the Acid2 Test, developed by the Web Standards Project. However, Macromedia has increased the support for CSS and other ways to lay out a page without tables in later versions of the application.

Dreamweaver allows the user to use most browsers to preview websites, provided that they are installed on his or her computer. It also has some site management tools, such as the ability to find and replace lines of text or code by whatever parameters specified across the entire site, and a templatization feature for creating multiple pages with similar structures. The behaviors panel also allows creation of basic JavaScript without any coding knowledge.

With the advent of version MX, Macromedia incorporated dynamic content creation tools into Dreamweaver. In the spirit of HTML WYSIWYG tools, it allows users to connect to databases (such as MySQL and Microsoft Access) to filter and display content using scripting technologies such as Active Server Pages(ASP), ASP.NET, ColdFusion, JavaServer Pages(JSP), PHP, and more without any previous programming experience.

A highly regarded aspect of Dreamweaver is its extensible architecture. "Extensions", as they are known, are small programs, which any web developer can write (usually in HTML and Javascript) and anyone can download and install, which provide added functionality to the software. Dreamweaver is supported by a large community of extension developers who make extensions available (both commercial and free) for most web development tasks from simple rollover effects to full-featured shopping carts.

Edutainment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edutainment)

- Edutainment (also educational entertainment or entertainment-education) is a form of entertainment designed to educate as well as to amuse. Edutainment typically seeks to instruct or socialize its audience by embedding lessons in some familiar form of entertainment: television programs, computer and video games, films, music, websites, multimedia software, etc. Examples of this would be [1] or guided amphiphibious duck tours that entertain and educate [2]

Most often, edutainment seeks either to tutor in one or more specific subjects, or to change behaviour by engendering specific sociocultural attitudes. This is also used for

behavior students in certain schools in the U.K. Successful edutainment is discernible by the fact that learning becomes fun and teachers or speakers educate an audience in a manner which is both engaging and amusing.

Various groups in the United States and the United Kingdom have used edutainment to address such health and social issues as substance abuse, immunization, teenage pregnancy, HIV / AIDS, and cancer.

- Edutainment defines some children's television series, such as Sesame Street, Dora the Explorer, and Teletubbies.

For older viewers, individual situation comedy episodes also occasionally serve as edutainment vehicles, sometimes described in United States television commercial parlance as very special episodes. One episode of the American sitcom Happy Days was reported to have prompted a 600% increase in the U.S. demand for library cards. Meanwhile, the British radio soap opera The Archers has for decades been systematically educating its audience on agricultural matters; likewise, the Tanzanian radio soap opera Twende na Wakati ("Let's Go With the Times") was written primarily to promote family planning.

Sejarah edutainment

Long before Mary Poppins sang that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, cultures were combining education and entertainment. Myths have been used to teach members of a culture the rules of life and acceptable behavior within that culture. Parables have been used by prophets to illustrate religious tenets. Fables have been used to demonstrate the validity of moral teachings.

One example is the story of Cinderella, which originated in China. In this classic myth, a woman from the lower class, through her physical beauty, goodness of heart, and help from others, marries a prince and lives happily ever after. The basic moral of the story is that woman's happiness depends on a man and a woman needs to be transformed to fit into that man's world. While the American Cinderella is characterized by her individual qualities, such as physical beauty and resourcefulness, the Asian Cinderella is lauded for non-individual qualities, such as filial piety. Either way, the story is designed to teach a lesson about which behaviors the culture will reward.

Although the word is new, the concept of edutainment has been around the entertainment industry for years. Sesame Street and The Wonderful World of Disney are just two examples of early edutainment television shows. Likewise, edutainment is not new in concept for location-based leisure venues. Zoos, aquariums, historical sites and science and children's museums are all examples of edutainment leisure destinations. In fact, all

are rapidly growing in popularity. There are now over 300 children's museums in the United States. More than 58 million people visited American zoos and museums in 1999, more than attended National Football League and Major League Baseball games combined.
