Tulisan ini diperuntukkan terutama bagi para newbie, seperti saya ini,,mohon masukannya bagi para master blogger jika ada kekeliruan dalam postingan ini,,namanya juga baru belajar bro
Apa itu PTC???
PTC merupakan singkatan dari Paid To Click. Secara mudahnya PTC adalah program advertising yang memberikan komisi kepada pembaca yang menge-klik iklan yang mereka sediakan. Artinya para pengunjung ketika menge-klik iklan yang ditampilkan akan dibayar.
Banyak sekali situs PTC yang beredar di internet. Setiap situs memberikan bayaran yang berbeda untuk setiap klik iklan. Misalnya bux.to memberi U$0.01-$5 untuk setiap iklan yang diklik. Mungkin ini hanya 1 sen saja, tapi gimana kalo kita nge-klik 100 iklan sehari?? Berapa duit kita peroleh dalam sebulan jika setiap hari kita klik iklan tersebut???..lumayan banget kan perolehannya..hanya dengan nge-klik iklan saja kita bisa dapet ratusan ribu dlam sebulan.
Di Indonesia sendiri juga sudah ada program-program PTC seperti klikrupiah.com, klikajadeh.com,,setiap klik yang dilakukan akan dibayar Rp100,- /klik sampai Rp 150,-/klik. Tentu saja tergantung kemauan dan ketelatenan kita mengikuti program ini. Apalagi kalau kita bisa mengakses internet gratis , dari kantor, jaga warnet atau punya warnet sendiri, tambah besar deh penghasilan tiap bulannya.
Sudah sedikit saya jelaskan di atas, yaitu hanya dengan menge-klik iklan yang mereka sediakan lalu uang akan ditambahkan ke akun kita. Tapi sebelum Anda nge-klik iklan tersebut, Anda harus daftar dulu sebagai member. Untuk mendaftar program PTC ini 100% GRATIS,,isi aja formulir pendaftaran online yang sudah disediakan (biasanya hanya mengisi nama, email, username dan password). Jika sudah selesai daftar dan tidak ada kesalahan dalam pendaftaran, maka akan ada konfirmasi yang dikirim ke email
Anda sewaktu daftar tadi. Klik aja link
yang ada di email Anda untuk konfirmasi balik…dah selesai, tinggal log in.
Iklan yang ditayangkan setiap harinya sekitar 5-20 iklan untuk account gratisan. Jika Anda upgrade ke account premium (tentunya Anda membayar dulu) maka jumlah iklan yang ditayangkan per harinya tentu akan lebih banyak, bisa nyampe’ 50an iklan. Tapi jika Anda sudah puas dengan account gratisan,,it’s ok,,gak masalah bro
Nah sekarang kita bahas sedikit aturannya dalam PTC. Setelah Anda klik iklan tersebut, maka Anda harus menunggu selama 30 detik untuk setiap iklan yang kita klik. Waktu tunggu untuk iklan di setiap situs pun berbeda-beda, dari 10-40 detik lamanya. Setelah selesai maka akun Anda akan bertambah uangnya. Jika sudah mencapai batas minimum penarikan, maka Anda sudah berhak untuk menarik uang Anda dan setelah itu akan ditransfer ke rekening ataupun paypal Anda.
Refer to Friend atau biasa disebut referral. Maksudnya adalah bagaimana seseorang terhubung atau mengikuti situs tertentu atas rekomendasi kita.
Disini, referral berupa sebuah alamat unik yang berbeda untuk setiap account. Jika orang mendaftar ke sebuah situs dengan sumber alamat unik dari kita ini, maka kita akan memperoleh komisi. Begitu juga pada program PTC, kita bisa memperoleh pendapatan ekstra dari sebuah situs PTC. Komisi ini termasuk: sign up, referral clicks (jika referral anda mulai nge-klik iklan), upgrades (jika referral anda upgrade ke premium account), bonuses (tergantung pada situs PTC yang anda ikuti). Pendapatan Anda akan sangat terdongkrak dengan referral bias sampai 70%-80% pendapatan.
Tapi jangan hanya secara kuantitas aja, tetapi lebih kepada kualitas…maksudnya lebih baik memiliki referral sedikit tapi aktif nge-klik daripada banyak referral tapi tidak aktif atau jarang-jarang melakukan klik. Lebih bagus lagi Anda memiliki referral banyak dan semuanya aktif ngeklik..sungguh luar biasa pendapatan Anda nantinya…!! Maka jangan lupa untuk mengajak teman ataupun saudara,,atau Anda beriklan untuk memperoleh hasil yang maksimal.

Dilansir pihak Microsoft sendiri, bahwa kehadiran Windows 7 setelah absennya nama Bill Gates di dalamnya tak membuat produk baru ini seperti kehilangan sosok bapaknya, namun produk ini sendiri lahir dan disebutkan lebih bagus bahkan dari sistem operasi Vista yang sudah diteliti selama bertahun-tahun, sehingga para pengguna pun tak perlu lah khawatir menggunakan hardware yang biasa-biasa saja, karena nantinya akan tetap dapat menggunakan sistem operasi yang menyandang angka keberuntungan 7 tersebut. Didaulat lebih hebat dari segi performa, menyebabkan harga dari sistem operasi ini sendiri melambung cukup tinggi, belum dijelaskan untuk Indonesia sendiri akan dipasarkan pada kisaran harga berapa nantinya. Tapi tentunya kita semua tak ingin rugi-rugi membeli produk baru bila produk ini cuma punya fitur-fitur tak jauh berbeda dari generasi sebelumnya.

Beijing (ANTARA News) - Indonesia, the world`s largest Muslim country, will never interfere in the violence in Urumqi, capital of China`s Xinjiang region, where Muslims make up the majority group, a diplomat said.
"What happened in Xinjiang is China`s internal affair. We respect China`s sovereignty over the region and will never meddle in the problem," Indonesian Ambassador to China Sudrajat said here on Sunday.
Sudrajat said he believed China would be able to deal with the unrest based on its law and thus, social life there would soon return to normal.
Indonesia had always stuck to its principle of non-intereference in China`s internal affairs, be it separatism in Xinjiang, Tibet or Taiwan, he said.
"We are consistent in not interfering in any problem happening in China. We respect China as a sovereign state," he said.
Likewise, China also had never meddled in separatist movements in several parts of Indonesia, he said.
"The two countries have agreed to respect each other`s sovereignty and refrain from interefering in each other`s internal affairs," he said.
He said Indonesia had always supported the Chinese government`s policy to deal with any separatist problem properly.
Muslim Uighurs rioted last Sunday in Urumqi.
Xinjiang`s eight million Uighurs make up nearly half the population of the region, a vast area of deserts and mountains rich in natural resources that borders ex-Soviet Central Asia.
The official Xinhua news agency quoting the regional government reported on Saturday the death toll from violence in Urumqi had risen to.
Washington - A long, deep canyon and the remains of beaches are perhaps the clearest evidence yet of a standing lake on the surface of Mars -- one that apparently contained water when the planet was supposed to have already dried up, scientists said on Wednesday.
Images from a camera called the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter indicate water carved a 30-mile-(50-km-)long canyon, a team at the University of Colorado at Boulder reported.
It would have covered 80 square miles (200 sq km) and been up to 1,500 feet (450 metres) deep, the researchers wrote in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
There is now no dispute that water exists on the surface or Mars -- robot explorers have found ice. There is also evidence that water may still seep to the surface from underground, although it quickly disappears in the cold, thin atmosphere of the red planet.
Planetary scientists have also seen what could be the shores of giant rivers and seas -- but some of the formations could also arguably have been made by dry landslides.
"This is the first unambiguous evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars," said Gaetano Di Achille, who led the study.
"The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago," Di Achille said in a statement.
Water is key to life and scientists are looking desperately for evidence of life, past or present, on Mars. Having water on the planet could also be useful to future human explorers.
"On Earth, deltas and lakes are excellent collectors and preservers of signs of past life," said Di Achille. "If life ever arose on Mars, deltas may be the key to unlocking Mars` biological past," Di Achille said.
"Not only does this research prove there was a long-lived lake system on Mars, but we can see that the lake formed after the warm, wet period is thought to have dissipated," assistant professor Brian Hynek said.
The lake probably either evaporated or froze over after abrupt climate change, the researchers said. Its waters would have turned into vapor. No one knows what turned Mars from a warm, wet planet into the frozen, airless desert it is now. (*)
Less than 24 hours after Michael Jackson's death, fraudsters are exploiting public interest with their attempts to spread spam and malware. Security researchers say they've observed hundreds of cases of malicious messages masquerading as information about Jackson's death. Some of them, they say, popped up within minutes of the news.
Avoiding these threats isn't difficult, though: It's just a matter of staying one step ahead. Here are some of the attackers' tactics and what you can do to keep from falling victim.
E-Mail Address Harvesting
E-mails started circulating Thursday claiming to have "vital information" about Jackson's death. The messages ask users to respond in order to become privy to the "secret" details.
Michael Jackson Death Spurs Spam, Viruses
Unlike many Web-based threats, these e-mails aren't attempting to get you to click onto anything; rather, analysts believe, they're likely trying to get you to reply so your address can be confirmed for future spamming purposes.
"The spammer can easily harvest recipients' e-mail addresses via a free live e-mail address if computer users reply to the spam message," researchers at security firm Sophos explain.
Hidden Trojan Infecting
Another hoax takes the more standard approach of offering e-mail-based links, supposedly to exclusive videos and photos of Michael Jackson. These messages also appear to have YouTube videos embedded inside. If you try to follow the links or play the video, however, you may end up with malware on your computer -- without even knowing it.
Michael Jackson Death Spurs Spam, Viruses
"A legitimate Web site ... is opened by the default browser in order to distract the user by presenting a news article for them to read," researchers at Websense Security Labs explain. "In the background, three further information-stealing components are downloaded and installed."
Background Blog Processing
Other attackers are getting more creative and setting up phony Michael Jackson-related blogs to try to trick unsuspecting users. Security company Webroot says it's seen such efforts pop on a variety of hosting services, including Google's Blogger platform. The blogs take advantage of background processing to run scripts that can cause serious harm to your system.
"Just visiting [one] page spawned a tornado of background and foreground browser activity -- over 100 URLs, mostly called from ad-host Yieldmanager by an automated script hosted elsewhere, were pulled down in just the first three seconds after the page loaded," says Webroot's Andrew Brandt.
At least one site was found to be installing a virus that effectively locks down your PC, terminating most any application before Windows is able to open it. Programs installing spyware and even the Koobface virus have also been observed.
Staying Safe
The notion of exploiting high-profile news events for spreading spam and malware is nothing new. Security researchers say anytime the public's attention is tuned in to a particular topic, attackers see the potential to move in.
The best line of defense is simply to follow standard Web safety procedures: Delete suspicious-looking e-mails or messages from people whom you don't know; avoid clicking on links in messages if you aren't absolutely sure where they lead; and restrict your surfing to reputable Web sites when it comes to breaking news.
If you use Firefox, you can also install a plugin called NoScript. NoScript blocks JavaScript and Java code from running on any unapproved sites. That could keep you safe from some of the threats lurking behind legit-looking pages.

Los Angeles, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) want a robot to the 100 block of modules that can be from an aircraft to land barren then changed the form of a crawler that is capable of the sand. Robots that can change form and have the arms and legs for shin hills. When a robot reaches the peak, he can change the form of a greenhouse capable of protecting a group of seedlings during the two weekends.
NASA's vision is grandiose, a new block of 20 modules already built a robot that since this ambitious project is executed, two years ago. The project is named Superbot. Director of the Polymorphic Robotics Laboratory of the University of Southern California, United States, Wei Min Shen, recently said, "Many forms of robots that can be built, but definitely expensive."
Superbot can not change the form of a truck or a fighter jet F-22 tanks in the robot movie "Transformers" latest. The researchers hope that one day Superbot can adapt to the surrounding circumstances, depending on the type of work encountered.
So far, Superbot have a combination of the two forms, the form of four feet and six feet. Superbot at six feet, a robot can rotate girth line and can perform a combination of the shin or rope. "If something needed to swarm, akan feet indeed appear. However, if you want to down the land, the robots can change shape into a ball and then roll," Shen said as quoted livescience.com. Superbot with four legs can be changed into the form of a robot with two legs fast. Robot with two legs has movement "swing swing" just as a swimmer, Shen explains.
Meanwhile, plans to make the robot has been living in mind Shen. Later life is a robot capable of changing shape and able to repair themselves. The idea of living this robot also attract some of NASA and the U.S. military.
However, a number of steps still can be tried before Superbot independent and able to produce their own decisions. Creating artificial intelligence in robots is a matter of complex and challenging. Moreover the form of a robot that best represent the surrounding environment.
Shen, through an experiment in laboratoriumnya, has tried several ideas. Ideas include using digital hormone to stimulate and influence the mind and the sport of robots. The way to give instructions such as signal signal signal to the weather and change shape so that Superbot walk or roll. Shen and develop modules Superbot as stem cells with a robot that is able to bermetamorfosis different role. (Livescience.com / msnbc.com / Luc)
