Wireless Charger

About two years ago, I imagine one day people will make a wireless charger and wireless power supply. This discourse I was talking with my friends in  'coffee shop' chat that we often do at lunch or in the court of the mosque before prayers. My friends just smiled and gave a brief comment. Perhaps they already understand it because I often talk about the 'crazy' ideas with a half-joke.

This morning, this thought crossed my mind again. Smoking a cigarette (sorry, forgot to censor - smoking is bad for health) and listening to Led Zeppelin's 'Dazed and his Confused'  through Yahoo! LAUNCHcast Radio, I go to Google and search with keywords "wireless charger". Surprise! there  was already someone that embody these ideas into a product even since 2002 (perhaps earlier). In addition Edison GE  had even made mass PowerDesk. There is also a product called SplashPower similar to PowerDesk. Although not exactly as I imagined at that time but at least my imagination has been come true by the scientists behind these products.

Actually there is another imaginary product that I want to see the flashdisk with Bluetooth connectivity. Flashdisk is worn around the neck with the pairing code which we have loaded. We do not need to plug the flash disk into the USB. Was there any products like this?

IT Human Resources

Indonesia is a country that has a large enough population. Thus this country rich in human resource potential in all areas. No exception of human resources in the field of information technology. If we look, how many high schools have faculties, departments, or even the specialized high schools for the field of IT. So many graduates from these colleges every year, even every semester. Starting from a diploma, undergraduate, master's, and Doctoral degrees can be obtained in the country. Not to mention the certification of IT expertise is widely available.

Does Indonesia have the IT resources adequate? In my opinion, many IT people who even have a particular expertise in this country. It is not so global as the Indians or Chinese. But I'm sure, Indonesian could not be considered one eye. Observe several IT mailinglist.From there we can conclude, though not accurate, that was a lot of competent Indonesian IT guys. It's just the matter of opportunities.

One day,  Indonesian IT human resources will go international, too. The role of government is also needed to encourage the advancement and empowerment in this area.

Whose fingerprint? (Sidik Jari Siapa yang Punya?)

Still remember the songs that have the words' ‘Nona manis siapa yang punya?’ If it was, easy answer, there is in the song itself. But if a crime occurs murder or robbery, the police officer was busy looking for the perpetrator's fingerprints left at the scene. Having met a few fingerprints and the question as the title above, the answer would be hard to find.

To match fingerprints found at the scene, the police would have to have a fingerprint database population. Did the police have it? I am sure, only a small portion. Not all residents enrolled in the police fingerprinted. So there is a possibility if the fingerprints found at the scene, the police officer had no comparison data.
How is the solution? Let you use your own thought.
