			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Raindrops will keep falling on our heads this season of the year, and yet this rainy season&#8217;s starter already induced headaches for our new administration with regard to its disaster management tactics. First was the alleged <a href="http://thepoc.net/breaking-news/local/8657-aquino-scolds-pagasa-for-erroneous-forecasting.html">erroneous forecasting by PAGASA</a>, and the most heartbreaking of all is the <a href="http://thepoc.net/thepoc-features/politi-ko/politiko-features/8677-aquino-govt-has-no-more-calamity-funds.html">lack of calamity fund</a> for the rest of the year. Seriously? We only had like one or two series of rains, not even storms, these past few months and the past administration already spent 70 percent of our calamity funds? Talk about disasters!</p>

For those who don&#8217;t know what a database is, simply put, a database is where your data is stored and defined (whether by a schema or by documents). You use databases everyday as long as you use a computer, a cellphone, or even a website. And for the past weeks, we&#8217;ve seen awesome news from the open source database systems community, which means we will have upgrades on how we use our databases. I&#8217;ll start off with something very new and fresh.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week I got yelled and scolded by my little sister complaining about me forcing her into using <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">OpenOffice.org</a> for her assignments. So while she searched and scoured the net for all her copy-paste work, I was yapping at her about paraphrasing and translating her articles herself instead of searching some content in the <a href="http://tl.wikipedia.org/">Tagalog Wikipedia</a> and just dragging those texts to OpenOffice. She asked me why we were using OpenOffice in the first place and the jerk in me told her that if she has money to buy us MS Office and MS Windows, I&#8217;d be glad to install it in my own computer. The FOSS advocate in me, on the other hand, told me I should make my brothers and sisters use FOSS and make a case study out of them (which is being chronicled in my FOSS articles here, mwah-hah-hah).</p>
<p class="standalomne" style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.jofell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/07-15-2010-portableapps-menu.jpg" width="341" height="480" alt="07-15-2010-portableapps-menu.jpg" class="standalone" /></p>
<p></p>
<p>Anyway, back to the story. I had her save the file in OpenOffice&#8217;s ODT format and I told her she should just save the file into my USB stick and head to the nearest computer shop to print it (I&#8217;d be buying a new printer hopefully soon). The next day, I got the scoldings and the yellings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ngayon araw ay inanunsiyo ng <a href="http://dev.chromium.org/">Google Open Source Project na Chromium</a> ang bago nilang technology, ang <a href="http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/software-updates-courgette">Chromium Courgette</a>. Nilalayon ng Courgette na mas maging maliit ang kinakailangang i-download na data para sa mga updates ng Chrome. Nabanggit sa anunsiyo na kumpara sa bantog na BSDiff (na ngayon ay maituturing na de-facto binary differential tool), mas maliit ang nagagawa nitong pagkukumpara.</p>
<p>
<img src="http://www.techkamuna.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/chromium1.jpg" width="320" height="148" alt="chromium.jpg" /></p>
<p><b>Paano ba gumagana ang mga binary differential tools?</b></p>
<p>Lahat ng mga file natin sa computer ay maikaklasipika sa dalawang punong kategorya: (1) Text; at (2) Binary. Madali lamang baguhin ang sa text dahil anuman ang posisyon na binago, yun din ang ilalahok sa lumang file sa eksaktong posisyon kung saan nangyari ang mga pagbabago. Kung nais nating mabago ang isang file, may mga paraan para hindi na kakailanganin pang ilagay ang buong file sa RAM para lamang maisulat ito sa hard disk. Kung ihahalintulad ito sa paggawa ng fruit salad, kung nais natin na maging mas matamis ito, dadagdagan lang natin ito ng asukal kaysa gumawa ulit ng isang bagong bandehado ng mga prutas at cream, saka lalahukan ng asukal. Kapag masyado itong matamis, kailangan lang itong dagdagan ng cream at makukuha na ang ninanais na pormula, kaysa gumawa ng panibago.</p>
<p>Ang mga delta, o mga pagbabago mula sa isang lumang estado papuntang bago ay ina-apply o ipina-patch sa lumang estado upang magbago ang file papunta sa ninanais na kalagayan. Sa panahon ngayon, ang mga updates ng mga programang ginagamit natin tulad ng Internet Explorer at QuickTime ay gumagamit ng ganitong istilo upang mabilis ang pag-download ng software at ma-update ang mga ito.</p>
<p>Ang BSDiff ay isang popular na paraan para makalikha ng mga delta. Bukas sa lahat ang pamamaraan (o algorithm kung tawagin) at ang source code (o ang sangkap sa paggawa ng software) nito.</p>
<p>Iba ang kaso sa binary.</p>
<p><b>Paano gumagana ang Courgette</b></p>
<p>Sa ngayon, ang mga binary differential tools ngayon ay gumagamit ng mathematical redundancies at patterns upang makita ang mga paulit-ulit na pattern ng code sa mga files. Sa paggawa ng isang programa, kahit maliit na mga detalye sa source code ay nagko-contribute ng mas lalong &#8220;kaguluhan&#8221; sa binary code. Kung isasaalang-alang ang ideya na lahat ng binary data ay maaaring ilatag sa isang lohikal na pamamaraan, maaari nang magkaroon ng delta na alinsunod sa mga prinsipyo ng text-differentiation. Dito umiikot ang konsepto ng Courgette, at sa pamamaraang ito mas madaling mapapaliit ang mga delta na kinakailangan sa mga software updates.</p>
<p><b>Kahalagahan sa mga Susunod na Proyekto</b></p>
<p>Matatandaang kamakailan lamang ay inanunsiyo ng Google ang Chrome OS, at hindi maitatangging maaari ring maging pundasyon ng bagong operating system ang Courgette, dahil bukod sa makakatulong ito sa pag-update ng mga software na nakalagay sa Chorme OS, maaari rin nitong matulungan ang problema ng file synchronization o pagsasalin at pagkuha ng mga files sa iyong computer papunta&#8217;t pabalik mula sa server. Isa ito sa mga magiging istratehiya ng Google upang matupad ang palagiang-online, at palagiang-reliable na Web Operating System. Kapag mas maliit ang delta, mas magiging mabilis ang tugon ng mga web applications sa isang normal file operation anuman ang bandwidth mayroon ang isang computer user.</p>
<p>Sa ngayon, hindi pa kasama sa anunsiyo kung gagawin itong isang Open Source Project gaya ng Chrome, ngunit dahil ito ay kabilang sa Chromium project ng Google, hindi malayong ibukas sa publiko ang Courgette.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kamakailan lamang ay nagkaroon ng bagong update ang iTunes, at ang pinakamahalagang update nito ay ang pagharang sa Palm Pre na makapag-sync ito sa iTunes. Nagkaroon tuloy ng pagkadismaya sa bahagi ng Palm at mga may-ari ng Palm Pre nang mabalitaan ang ginawang ito ng Apple.</p>
<p>Matagal na&#8217;ng isyu ang pagsy-synchronize ng media mula computer hanggang media player. Ang bawat media player ay may kanya-kanyang paraan (tinatawag na <i>protocol</i>) para ma-beripika na maaari nang magsalin ng files papuntang media player. Masasabing ang iTunes at Apple ang pinaka-notorious sa mga ito sapagkat hindi lang eksklusibo ang protocol na ginagamit, eksklusibo rin na ang iTunes ay palagiang dapat nagsy-synchronize sa iPod. Maraming nagsasabi na ang ease-of-use o madaling paggamit ng sistema ang naging pangunahing dahilan ng tagumpay ng iPod at iTunes. Ngunit kung iisipin, at dahil na rin sa proprietary ang kalikasan ng iTunes at iPod, masyadong sinasakal ng dalawang teknolohiya ang pamamaraan natin para sa malayang pagsasalin at paggamit ng ating sariling media files.</p>
<p>Una sa lahat, ang iTunes Store ang pinakamalaking digital-downloads-only na tindahan sa buong mundo. Kung hindi ka gumagamit ng iTunes, hindi ka maaaring bumili dito. Ayos lang sana ang ganitong scenario dahil libre namang makukuha ang iTunes, ngunit aanhin mo ang nabili mo sa iTunes Store kung (1) Ang file type / format ng iyong dina-download ay eksklusibong Apple Technology (m4a, m4v), bagay na inirereklamo ng karamihan dahil iTunes lamang o QuickTime ang maaaring mag-play ng mga ito; at (2) ang mga media na ito ay magagamit lamang sa iPod / iPhone.</p>
<p>Pangalawa, ang iPod, bagama&#8217;t nakaka-play ng mp3 formats, ay hindi tumatanggap ng iba pang format na likha ng Microsoft, o ng Open Source Codec na Ogg Theora. Sa bagay na ito nasasakal ang customer sa choice ng mga files na maaaring gamitin sa iPod.</p>
<p>Ikatlo. Ang paraan ng pagsy-synchronize ay sarado, bagay na sinusubukang malampasan ng ilang mga Open Source na proyekto gaya ng GTKPod, libiTunesDB, at AmaroK. Naisip niyo ba na kung ang mga devices ay may &#8220;standard protocol&#8221; na maaaring gamitin ng mga program sa Linux, Windows, at Macintosh para maayos na maisalin ang mga media papuntang kahit anong media player. Isipin niyo na lang na mas magiging matindi ang kumpetisyon ng mga media player kung lahat sila ay susunod sa patakarang ito. Gaya ng Zen at ng Zune. Kung magkakaisa ang dalawang media player na gumawa ng isang Open API (kahit hindi kinakailang bukas ang source code o mga sangkap sa pagkakabuo ng protocol), hindi malayo na susunod ang industriya ng Mobile Phones at iba pang mobile devices sa direksiyong ito. Kung yun ang magiging moda ng media transfer, di malayong mapipilitan ang Apple na sumunod dito.</p>
<p>Ngunit hindi rin masisisi ang Apple dahil sila naman talaga ang nagpasimuno ng online retailing para sa media, at kung magiging mas malawak ang merkado, mas magiging mahirap ang pagpupulis, o pagbabantay ng integridad ng buong iTunes system. Ika nga, kung mas kaunti ang mga responsibilidad, mas madali at maaari pang ipagbuti ang pagsasagawa ng mga ito.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kalalabas lang ng bagong update ng popular na media player ng Apple Inc., ang <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/">iTunes 8.2.1</a>. Maaaring makuha ang update sa pamamagitan ng builtin update system nito (sa Windows at sa Mac platforms), o sa pag-download mula <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/">sa opisyal na site ng iTunes</a>. Bukod sa ilang mga graphical at internal fixes, kapansin-pansin sa ibaba ang &#8220;issue&#8221; sa &#8220;verification of Apple devices&#8221;.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.techkamuna.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Picture-1.png" width="480" height="241" alt="Picture 1.png" /></p>
<p>Matatandaang nito lamang nakaraang buwan ay inanunsiyo ng Palm ang isang paraan upang maka-synchronize o makipagsalo ang iTunes sa Palm Pre, ang pinakabagong modelong mobile ng Palm, ng music, contact, at iba pa gamit ang tinatawag nilang &#8220;<a href="http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/palm-pre-will-sync-with-itunes/">Media Sync</a>&#8220;. Nagawa ito ng Palm sa pamamagitan ng pagre-reverse-engineer ng mga protocols o mga katawagan habang nagkakaroon ng synchronization sa pagitan ng Palm pre at ng iTunes. Sinusubukan din ng &#8220;Media Sync&#8221; na pagmukhaing iPod ang Palm Pre upang madali na lamamg maisalin ang mga media at impormasyon papunta at pabalik mula sa nasabing mobile device.</p>
<p>Sa ngayon, nakumpirma ng <a href="http://www.precentral.net/apple-blocks-palm-pre-itunes-syncing">PreCentral</a> na hindi nga gumagana ang Media Sync sa bagong version ng iTunes, kaya naman may ere ng pagkadismaya na namumuo ngayon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kahapon ay lumabas na ang bagong version ng itinuturing na &#8220;Flash-killer&#8221; ng Microsoft, ang <a href="http://silverlight.net/">Silverlight</a>. Ayon sa <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/10/the-complete-guide-to-microsofts-silverlight-3/">ulat na ito</a>, may anim na key features ang ikatlong major version ng nasabing multimedia browser plugin.</p>
<p><b>Smooth Streaming</b></p>
<p>Ngayon, magagawa nang mag-play ang mga streaming videos gamit ang Silverlight magbago man ang download rate ng internet connection. Nabanggit sa ulat na kapag erratic o pabago-bago ang iyong internet connection, awtomatikong tinatanong ng Silverlight ang media server kung meron bang available na quality ng video na mas babagay sa kuneksiyon.</p>
<p><b>Digital Rights Management</b></p>
<p>Nadagdag din sa bersiyong ito ang pagprotekta sa mga Copyrighted Content, na mas makakatulong pang lalo sa mga website gaya ng Netflix, isang web service na pinapayagang mag-renta ang mga customers nito ng mga pelikula o videos na kanilang nais. Sa paraang ito masisiguro na ang Copyrighted Content ay ligal na makukuha ng user, at hindi makukuha nang basta-basta lang.</p>
<p><b>Deep Zoom</b></p>
<p>Para sa mga developers, ang deep zoom ay magbibigay pa lalo ng isang mahusay na experience para mas maengganyo ang mga users na tuklasin ang mga imahe sa isang website. Mas makikilatis ng isang user ang isang, sabihin nating, imahe ng isang aklat, na hindi na kinakailangang maghintay ng matagal upang ma-load ang mga kinakailangang hi-resolution images.</p>
<p><b>Out-of-the-Browser</b></p>
<p>Gaya ng flash, maaari na ring makapanood ng streaming media sa Silverlight kahit hindi na kinakailangan ag tulong ng isang web browser. Mabibigyan ng feature na ito ang Silverlight ng isang &#8220;Media Player&#8221; look-and-feel.</p>
<p><b>Expression Studio at Express Flow</b></p>
<p>Nilabas na rin ng Microsoft ang mga development environments na Expression Studio at Express Flow upang mas lalong mapadali ang pag-convert ng mga konsepto papuntang full-fledged multimedia applications.</p>
<p><b>Enterprise Features</b></p>
<p>Sinisigurado ng mga bagong enterprise feature ng Silverlight na maaari itong gamitin sa mga mission-critical na mga gawain, gaya ng online contact center portals at online voice and video support.</p>

Alinsunod sa mga announcements ng Google Chrome OS, at ang bulung-bulungan tungkol sa Gazelle, sumunod naman ang &#8220;Web Browsing&#8217;s Surprise Second&#8221; na Firefox sa pag-announce na magkakaroon ng similar na architecture o paraan ng pagkakagawa ang Chrome at Firefox, sa tulong ng multi-process browsing.

<p>Alinsunod sa mga announcements ng Google Chrome OS, at ang bulung-bulungan tungkol sa Gazelle, sumunod naman ang &#8220;Web Browsing&#8217;s Surprise Second&#8221; na Firefox sa pag-announce na magkakaroon ng similar na architecture o paraan ng pagkakagawa ang Chrome at Firefox, sa tulong ng multi-process browsing.</p>
<p>Ano ang ibig sabihin nito?</p>
<p>Isipin niyo na lang, sa isang Firefox window, marami kayong tabs, at bawat tabs ay normal na ginagawa ang browsing (pag-render ng mga imahe, mga articles, pati na rin Flash videos). Sa isang tingin, parang isang programa lang ang tumatakbo, ngunit sa loob nito&#8217;y may kanya-kanyang programa o processes na tumatakbo sa bawat isang tab. Parang kung sampung tabs meron ka sa Firefox, sampung programa din ang tumatakbo sa iyong computer.</p>
<p align="center"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/N4Oj6maKgNU&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/N4Oj6maKgNU&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br/>Isang demo ng bagong Firefox</p>
<p>Sa video sa itaas makikita kung paano gumagana ang independent-process browsing, kung saan kahit na mag-crash ang tab dahil sa pag-render ng, sabihin natin, YouTube video, hindi pa rin magka-crash ang mga kapitbahay nitong tabs dahil sinisiguro ng bagong architecture ang malinis na pag-crash ng iisang tab, na hindi dinadamay ang buong &#8220;browsing experience&#8221;.</p>
<p>Kung tatanungin niyo ang inyong lingkod kung ano ang pinagkaiba nito sa maraming &#8220;instance&#8221; ng Internet Explorer dati, o maraming window, eto ang sagot ko: Dati, ang IE at Firefox ay tumatakbo lamang isa isang programa, kahit ilang tabs o windows meron sa iyong screen. Mahusay na architecture ito dati dahil ang mga imahe, ang mga contents ng isang webpage, kapag kailangan ng isa pang window o tab, napagsasaluhan nila ang mga ito. Sa ganitong scenario, makakatipid ng memory at processing. At dahil napagsasaluhan nga ang mga impormasyon, mapagsasaluhan din ng mga window at tabs ang pag-crash ng isa.</p>
<p>&#8220;Eh, baka naman gumamit ang bagong architecture ng sobrang hardware&#8221; &#8216;ka &#8216;nyo? Hindi naman. Ngunit hindi rin madali na palitan ang architecture ng Firefox ngayon, at i-maintain ang dati nitong behavior, gayong walang masyadong paraan para pagsaluhan ng dalawang tab ang mga common contents. Ngunit sa demo na naipakita sa video sa taas, masasabing hindi magtatagal ay maisasakatuparan rin ang mga pagbabagong ito.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>May <a href="http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistahardware/thread/720108ee-0a9c-4090-b62d-bbd5cb1a7605">isang usapang ipinamahagi</a> sa Hacker News tungkol sa bigat ng data sa loob ng iyong hard drive. Nagsimula ang usapan sa post na ito:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Apologies if this is the incorrect area for this question.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve noticed that as I copy data/install programs on my Laptop, the weight of the Laptop increases. I have a bad back and am medically limited on the amount of weight I can carry so I need to be very carefull not to inflict injury upon myself.</p>
<p>I have also noticed my XBox feels heavier as well (the more games I save or purchase from arcade). I generally don&#8217;t travel with my XBox so that is not an issue for me, but note the I am having the same results.</p>
<p>My ask, what is the weight/file ratio? So for example, how many GB&#8217;s = 6oz? I dread the day I need a dolly to commute to work with my Laptop.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>- K McLovin</p>
</blockquote>
<p>At may sumagot ng ganito:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I am glad you brought this up actually.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think this is just a technology problem. The other day, I was reading one of those MS press books (One of the Thick ones) and towards the end of the book (after reading it for about three hours) I wanted to get up for a glass of water and use the toilet eventually.</p>
<p>But, here&#8217;s when a strange thing happened. As i was about to get up (I usually read in bed) my head was so heavy that I couldn&#8217;t get up. I roughly estimate the wheight increase ~564.32 grams.</p>
<p>Well, I attributed this phenomena to the amount of information that got stored in my brain during that time (Notice the similarity there ? )</p>
<p>I eventually fell asleep and when I woke up a few hours later to take the MS exam guess what?!? My head was light again, and I consequently failed the Exam as I couldn&#8217;t remember anything a read on that book.</p>
<p>Based on my experience, what I would suggest, is turn the laptop off, leave it like that for a few hours and then you can carry it around without risking to break your back. You might risk to loose your data but hey, your health is more important.</p>
<p>I hope that helps</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Sa tantiya ko, ang isang ideya / alaala ay 2.23GB lossy compressed, para magbigay daan sa dolby audio, IMAX movie-quality na hi-resolution video format (kasi 3D) tapos indexed words na umaabot ng 1.16 MB. Kailangan din ng backup para sa memorya. Kung ang pakiramdam ko ay mabigat ang ulo ko sa pag-iisip ng susunod na ipo-program ko, marahil ito ay aabot ng 78.412 TB, at pakiramdam ko ay may 785 grams na dagdag, kaya niyo na sigurong i-divide ito no?</p>
<p>Biglang pakiramdam ko naging dalawang kilo ang dagdag sa utak ko. Magpapahinga muna ako (para gumaan). XD</p>
<p>Kayo? Ilang grams ang isang Gigabyte?</p>
