God Almighty says in the Holy Quran: ‘Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah , Lord of the worlds. No partner has He. And this I have been commanded, and I am the first (among you) of the Muslims.’ (Firman Allah Taala:"Katakanlah: Sesungguhnya solatku, ibadahku, hidupku dan matiku, hanyalah untuk Allah Tuhan yang memelihara dan mentadbirkan sekalian alam. Tiada sekutu bagiNya dan dengan yang demikian sahaja aku diperintahkan dan aku adalah orang Islam yang awal (yang berserah diri kepada Allah dan mematuhi perintahNya)." (Al An’aam: 162-163)

Cc1WC’sNEWS: Top 10 Tech this Week (PICS)
humanRightCommunitySharing 2012
The futuristic tech we
found this week was so radical, it was getting hard for us to separate fantasy
from reality. The week was swarming with future cars, efficient aircraft,
brand-new Windows 8 screenshots, yet another peek at the iPhone 5 with its almost-confirmed
bigger screen, and even a sexy new way to take a shower.
Yes, it was as if we had
our own time machine, jumping into its cockpit and finding faster Wi-Fi,
wireless power, and perhaps even discovering everyone in the future will be
above-average. Well, perhaps that’s going a bit too far.
But you haven’t
gone too far; in fact, dear reader, you’ve come to the right place, where we
give you a sneak peek into the future with Top 10 Tech This Week.
Berteknologi futuristik kami mendapati minggu ini
adalah begitu radikal, semakin sukar bagi kita untuk memisahkan fantasi dari
realiti. Minggu berkerumun dengan kereta masa depan, pesawat yang cekap, jenama baru Windows 8 screenshot, 1 lagi mengintip di 5 iPhone dengan skrin
hampir disahkan besar, dan cara yang seksi baru untuk mandi. Ya, ia seolah-olah
kita mempunyai mesin masa kita sendiri, melompat ke dalam kokpit dan mencari
lebih cepat Wi-Fi, kuasa wayarles, dan mungkin juga menemui semua orang pada
masa akan datang akan berada di atas purata. Dengan baik, mungkin akan sedikit
terlalu jauh. Tetapi anda tidak pergi terlalu jauh; sebenarnya, wahai para pembaca,
anda telah datang ke tempat yang betul, di mana kami memberi anda melihat
sekilas ke masa depan dengan Tech Top 10 Minggu Ini.
Sneak Peek: Beacon Phoenix Bluetooth Speaker
As speakers get smaller,
their sound seems to get bigger. That's the case with this Beacon Phoenix
Bluetooth speaker, a handsome unit available in red, blue and black. We
listened to this cute US$99 cube, available for pre-order next month, and it
cranked out some crispy tunes at a prodigious volume despite its diminutive
size. In other words, it's loud.
My biggest thrill was
unplugging it and running it on battery power - it felt like there was a whole
band standing in the palm of my hand, rocking it with impressive intensity. It
hooks up easily to your Bluetooth-compatible device, and the company says the
Phoenix's rechargeable battery will play on for eight hours.
However, because of its
tiny size, its bass sounded diminished, although still present. Even so, it
might be a worthy companion for a dancing beach trip this summer. (Pre-orders
start next month at beaconaudio.com)
Windows 8: The Next Revision
The consumer preview of
Windows 8 has been around for months now, but now Microsoft reveals
the next beta version of the upcoming Windows 8 juggernaut. From this
picture you can see subtle changes in the Windows 8 user interface: Still gone
is that Start orb that's currently on the bottom left in Windows 7, and now
that familiar glass look is gone as well. It all looks rather flat now.
I've been testing Windows
8 since its first beta, and I'm impressed with its Metro UI. Its live tiles on
the front take a little getting used to, but they give you lots of useful
information at a glance. Even the consumer preview is quite stable already, so
I'm looking forward to Windows 8's final release - Microsoft's not yet saying
when that will be.
Horizontal Shower
If you thought the
ordinary shower couldn't be improved, take a look at this. Now you can take a
shower lying down with this Horizontal Shower, placing yourself a shower field
of six "water bars" that are recessed into its special ceiling.
Horizontal Shower Side Shot
Apparently you'll need
some sort of special bathroom that can take lots of splashing, but still, it
looks like a lot of good clean fun. If you've ever been given a sponge bath
lying down on a massage table, you'll know what I mean.
Horizontal Shower controls
You can control
temperature and intensity of the spray with this panel, called eTools.
According to its manufacturer Dornbracht, you can choose from your favourite
shower "choreography," including balancing, energizing or
de-stressing effects.

Synergy Aircraft
Thanks to this
futuristic Synergy
Aircraft's diminutive size and double-boxed tail, it's hyper-efficient. The
idea is to give ordinary families the ability to fly in fancy, cool airplanes
like this, say its creators, with an eye toward making the second century of
flight a whole lot easier.
With that small size and
those weird-looking wings comes increased speed and easy handling, something
that will make this high-tech plane whole lot more attractive to people like
you and me. It's a Kickstarter
project, and if it reaches its goal of US$65,000, it might just get built
sooner than anyone thought.
I think I'd rather have a
flying car.
Porsche 918 Hybrid
The eagerly anticipated
Porsche 918 plug-in hybrid is now in prototype form, screaming along roads
somewhere on this planet. Peruse these alluring pics of the 770 hp beast, just
rolled out this week in monochromatic livery for your astonishment.
Even though there's a
mid-engine that's aspirated normally, it's got a couple of electric motors
assisting - one cranking the front wheels and another handling the back pair.
Porsche 918 Hybrid Rear
You'd think with all of
those horses under the hood, this brute would be gobbling gas, but because of
its electro-coolness along for the ride, it gets the equivalent of 78 miles per
gallon. That's especially impressive considering the 918's 0-to-60 time of 3
seconds and top speed of 200mph.
But honestly, miles per
gallon? When you're spending US$845,000 on a supercar like this, who's
counting? It's so beautiful it's downright scary, making it even harder to wait
until September, 2013 for its initial delivery.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Ultrabook
We're keeping an eye on
the pack of Ultrabooks currently in mid-explosion, and now Lenovo surprises us
with its claim of the lightest Ultrabook ever: It's the impressively named
ThinkPad X1 Carbon Ultrabook, a 14-inch laptop touted as "amazingly thin
and extremely powerful."
Packed with one of those
prodigious new Intel Ivy Bridge processors, this one presses all the right
buttons, with a backlit keyboard, high-definition display, a RapidCharge
battery that reaches a "near-full" battery charge in a half an hour
and an under-3-pound weight.
Lenovo's not talking
price yet, but this lust
worthy carbon-fibre laptop can't be cheap.
iPhone 5 Tall Boy
iPhone 5 rumours heated
up to an even higher fever pitch this week, with additional credible sources
crowing about a bigger iPhone screen with a diagonal dimension of at least 4
inches. Okay, okay - we believe that, but we wanted to see pictures.
And here they are in the
form of a design concept from one of our favourite illustrators, Federico
Ciccarese. This handset looks like a thinner, stretched-out version of the
iPhone 4S, with a 16x9 screen that gives you just enough room for an additional
row of icons.
iPhone 5 Tall Boy
And look there on the
back: is that substance the much-vaunted LiquidMetal? I certainly hope so. Come
on, new iPhone - you can't get here a moment too soon!

Dan melihat terdapat di
belakang: bahan yang LiquidMetal yang amat-sama kategori? Saya pasti berharap
begitu. Datang, iPhone baru - anda tidak boleh sampai ke sini sebentar terlalu
awal!
Sony Wireless Power
It's hard to believe
wireless power is even possible, but it most certainly is, and Sony has just
filed a patent showing how it's getting closer to perfecting it. Sony's figured
out how to precisely locate a device so its wireless power loss will still be
in the practical range.
Sony's even figured out a
way to daisy-chain devices, having one gadget sending power to another, as long
as all are within the most efficient range. I think the most useful application
of this technology will be used for charging electric cars, letting you jump
out of the car and run into your house without having to deal with plugs and
wires.

Netgear Adapter for Faster Wi-Fi
Netgear and the rest of the Wi-Fi industry are gearing up for the next
protocol for your home networking, and it's called the tongue-twisting name
802.11ac. This week, the company rolled out a slightly lower-priced router
(US$179.99, available Q3) similar to the US$199.99 R6300 (available
this month) we told you about a few weeks ago that embraces the new
protocol, and it also showed us this interesting bauble: a US$60 dual-band
adapter (model A6200) that you can use with laptops and desktop PCs. The
adapter will be available in the third quarter of this year.
Why should you care? Well, this new 802.11ac Wi-Fi will be three times
faster than the fastest Wi-Fi connections are today, and it'll cost about the
same. Its range will be significantly wider than today's Wi-Fi, and it's
backward-compatible with all the Wi-Fi devices you currently own.
Better yet, soon you won't even need a little adapter like this - Netgear told me the new
protocol is well on its way to universal adoption, where the faster Wi-Fi will
eventually be built into most devices that use wireless networking - and it
will be approaching the speeds of wired networks. Wow.
iCar
There was talk this week about Steve Jobs's dream of an iCar, whispered
to Apple board member Mickey Drexler and repeated toFast
Company.
iCar 3/4 View
Although drawings of this Steve Jobs fantasy haven't surfaced (yet?), designer Franco Grassi showed off his interpretation of what such a car might look like, depicting a radical design that seems perfect for warm climates, and perhaps functioning as a dune buggy.
iCar Interior
Of course, there's an iPad front-and-centre, along with the steering
wheel from an alien spacecraft. We're assuming there are clear glass panels
that slide into place for inclement weather.
iCar Side
That is quite a rakish silhouette, isn't it? If
only it were real. (Bahawa adalah cukup bayang solek, bukan? Jika hanya ia
adalah benar).
iCar at Leisure
Now, here we go. It's a golf cart, right? We kid, but people probably
made fun of the Wright brothers' aircraft, too.

Google Project Glass
Leave it to the deep pockets of Google to introduce these Borg-like glasses as part of a project it calls "Project Glass." Someday soon, we'll be wearing these augmented reality specs, giving us a heads-up display with which to see the output of our Android smartphones. Or so says Google. On the gorgeous models Google presented, these weirdo glasses don't look half bad. This all seems quite futuristic, but might I interject a quick question? Does this mean we can't ever get away from screens, eschewing actual interaction - and the real world - for an environment where image overlays are important, or even necessary?
Biarkan poket Google untuk memperkenalkan gelas seperti Borg ini sebagai sebahagian daripada projek itu sebagai "Projek Kaca." Suatu hari nanti tidak lama lagi, kita akan memakai ini ciri-ciri komputer realiti diperkukuhkan, memberi kita paparan kepala-up untuk melihat output telefon pintar Android kami. Atau kata Google. Pada model cantik Google dibentangkan, gelas orang yg luar biasa ini tidak kelihatan 1/2 buruk. Ini semua seolah-olah agak futuristik, tetapi saya mungkin mencelah masalah cepat? Adakah ini bermakna kita boleh tidak pernah mendapatkan jauh dari skrin, eschewing interaksi sebenar - dan dunia nyata untuk persekitaran di mana lapisan imej penting, atau bahkan perlu?
