Is it me or has Firefox turned into the new IE? I remember when I first used FF, I was positively impressed: the browser was light, fast, practical (IE still hadn’t implemented tabbed browsing, and I had come straight from it), secure… However, with every new version it seems to stray farther and farther away from all these qualities and get closer to IE.

Maybe their project got too big. As a result of their gains on the markey share, FF is now being targeted more often, so more vulnerabilities are being found in it. The browser was elected the least secure of all 4 major web browsers in 2009. Don’t believe me? Check out the report. However, what really puts me off is the fact that they’re making the browser heavier and slower with every update. Sure, every website you run into today will be fully compatible with Firefox, but you know what? I’d rather have it be as light as before, and just use IE whenever I needed to access a single website that didn’t comply with its protocols.

Google Chrome seems to be playing the role of the new, lightweight, practical browser nowadays. And to my surprise, the vast majority of websites are compatible with it and work just fine. Eventually you’ll meet some malfunctioning features on smaller websites, but Google’s doing a good job so far. Hopefully, they won’t follow the tendency and will keep away from whatever it is that makes browsers get worse as they become more widely used.

Kijken de mensen kwaad en verbaasd omdat de tram door tijdt??
Of is er wat anders aan de hand.

Siapa sih yang nggak pernah ke Monas? Gue rasa sih hampir semua orang Jakarta pernah ke tempat itu. Tapi kalau gue tanya, siapa sih yang pernah naik sampai atas Monas? Yakin banget, sedikit yang pernah kesana. Termasuk gue. Tadinya lho…

Beberapa hari yang lalu gue ke Monas. Tujuannya, gue (dan beberapa teman) mau naik ke tempat yang paling atas di Monas. Gue sama sekali belum pernah. Bahkan untuk masuk kedalam Monas-nya pun baru sekali. Itupun (seingat gue) sewaktu masih SD. Kalau ditaman-tamannya sih sudah sering.

Pas sampai disekitar Monas, teman gue sempat bingung mencari pintu masuknya. Beruntung teman-teman gue membawa gue ikut serta. hehe. Karena gue tahu kalau mau masuk kedalam Monas harus lewat terowongan dibawah tanah. Lokasinya berada disebelah utara Monas. Pokoknya cari saja tulisan seperti dibawah ini.

Nanti ikutin saja jalan yang ada disana. Nggak akan nyasar. Kebangetan banget kalau sampai nyasar. hihi.

Dibawah bakal ketemu sama loket 1. Loket pertama ini untuk membeli karcis biar bisa masuk kedalam Monas. HTM-nya sebesar Rp. 2500 + Rp. 500 (asuransi). Totalnya jadi Rp. 3000. Sedangkan buat anak-anak Rp. 1000 + Rp 500 (asuransi).

Senang banget setelah gue masuk ke dalam Monas. Bukan kenapa-kenapa. Diluar soalnya PANAS abis! Sedangkan didalam dingin. Rasanya pengen terus tidur-tiduran dilantai.

Didalam Monas ada sejarah Indonesia yang berbentuk gambar 3 dimensi. Sayangnya suasanannya remang-remang, jadi rada susah juga buat ngejepretnya. Biar hemat listrik kali yah.

Nggak terlalu banyak orang yang lihat-lihat disini. Lebih banyak yang pengen naik ke bagian teratas Monas. Gue sendiri memang tujuan utamanya mau naik keatas. Jadi gue berada disini cuma sebentar.

Sesampai di lift buat naik ke lantai teratas Monas, gue harus membayar tiket sebesar Rp. 7500 (anak-anak=Rp. 3500). Kudu hati-hati nih. Gue merasa petugasnya mau curang. Gue bayar pakai uang Rp. 10.000. Dia awalnya cuma mengembalikan Rp. 2000. Dengan cueknya gue diam saja disana. Nggak beberapa lama baru deh dia mengembalikan kekurangan Rp. 500-nya. Saran gue sih mending bayar dengan uang pas kalau mau ke Monas.

Setelah bayar, langsung gue menuju lift. Lumayan lama lho nunggunya. Untungnya nggak terlalu banyak yang mengantri. Soalnya gue kesana bukan hari libur. Nggak heran kalau hari libur antriannya bisa panjang banget.

Sekitar 5 menit kemudian, datang juga liftnya. Didalam lift kita bisa mendengarkan lagu keroncong. Mungkin ini penyebabnya kenapa petugas liftnya kelihatan mengantuk.

Pintu lift terbuka, dan sampailah gue dipuncak Monas. Dan gue langsung disambut dengan angin yang bertiup kencang. Baru sadar kalau ternyata bagian atas Monas itu tidak ditutupi oleh kaca. Hanya ada besi-besi saja. Serem abis apalagi kalau melihat kebawah. Yup gue memang takut ketinggian. Kalau ditutupi kaca sih gue masih berani.

Dari sini kita bisa melihat sebagian Jakarta. Istana Negara, Gambir, Istiqlal dan lain-lain. Dengan perasaan was-was (dan berharap tidak ada gempa), gue asal jepret-jepret. Pokoknya apa yang terlihat gue jepret tanpa bisa menikmati.

O iya, kalian juga bisa melihat dengan menggunakan teropong. Disediakan disana. Tinggal masukin koin saja. Kalau nggak salah bayar Rp. 2000. Tapi gue sih males. Namanya juga lagi stress. hu hu hu.

Akhirnya gue berada disana cuma 15 menit. Trus gue turun. Gue nunggu teman gue dari bawah saja. Benar-benar melelahkan. Kayaknya ini yang terakhir kali naik ke atas. Serem euy. Tapi buat yang nggak takut ketinggian, silahkan dicoba. Yang penting gue sudah merasakan naik keatas.

Saran gue, ketika ke Monas, bayarlah dengan uang pas. Soalnya kalau kalian googling, beberapa orang mengalami hal yang tidak mengenakkan dalam hal membayar karcisnya.

Stocks are higher following gains in overseas markets

Investors are building on last week’s momentum that sent major indexes to their highest levels of the year, pushing stocks higher in early trading.

The moderate advance Monday follows gains in overseas markets. Oil and other commodities are higher, while Treasury prices are mostly lower ahead of the government’s latest round of auctions.

Investors were encouraged by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s declaration Friday that the economy is on the verge of recovery. Though there are no major economic reports scheduled for Monday, later this week traders will look to data on housing and the consumer to determine if Bernanke’s upbeat view can be backed up by actual activity.

There have already been signs of recovery in the battered housing market. But consumers are still struggling. Analysts say the market may drift ahead of the consumer confidence data.

On Tuesday, the Conference Board releases its monthly consumer confidence index. Reuters and the University of Michigan report their final consumer sentiment figures for August on Friday.

Improved consumer confidence and spending is widely seen as one of the keys that could help end the recession. Consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of all economic activity.

In early trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 40.05, or 0.4 percent, to 9,546.01. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 5.19, or 0.5 percent, to 1,031.32, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 5.91, or 0.3 percent, to 2,026.81.

Stocks edged higher despite a worse-than-expected weekly jobs report

The Labor Department said new claims for unemployment benefits jumped unexpectedly to 576,000 last week. Economists, who are hoping for a return to economic growth this year, had predicted a decline.

However, U.S. stocks got some support from a rebound in overseas markets. In China, the Shanghai market bounced back from a sharp sell-off and the major European indexes were all up about 1 percent.

Treasury prices fell after several days of gains — a sign that investors were feeling a bit more optimistic about the economy’s prospects. Demand for government debt, considered a safe-haven asset, tends to rise when investors are nervous about the economy.

Investors also were poring over more earnings reports from retailers and other companies that directly serve the consumer. The news from Sears Holdings Corp. wasn’t good; the retailer posted a bigger loss than expected in the second quarter as its sales fell and it closed stores.

Other companies, though, beat Wall Street’s expectations. H.J. Heinz Co. said its fiscal first-quarter profit fell due to in part to the stronger dollar, but results topped analysts’ estimates. And Hormel Foods Corp. said its third-quarter profit rose 49 percent, exceeding analyst projections.

Stocks have been trading erratically this week as investors, absorbing mixed economic signals, have alternated between optimism and pessimism about a recovery.

In early trading, the Dow Jones industrials rose 28.41, or 0.3 percent, to 9,307.57. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 5.25, or 0.5 percent, to 1,001.71, while the Nasdaq composite index gained 11.37, or 0.6 percent, to 1,980.61.

Stocks are slightly higher after smaller-than-expected GDP drop eases recession worries

Investors reacted coolly to a report the nation’s economy continued to shrink, but at a smaller pace than expected.

The government said the nation’s gross domestic product, a measure of the economy’s total output, slowed at a rate of 1 percent during the quarter. That was better than the 1.5 percent drop expected by analysts.

The report also found that consumers cut their spending in the second quarter, a troubling sign as consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of all U.S. economic activity.

The report is the strongest sign yet that the recession is winding down. However, the Commerce Department revised the first-quarter GDP figure much lower, saying economic activity tumbled 6.4 percent. That is the worst quarterly reading in nearly 30 years.

The latest report also said consumers cut spending by 1.2 percent in the second quarter, after a 0.6 percent increase in the first quarter.

Investors have been looking to consumers to help lead the economy out of a recession. Spending has been cut as consumers continue to worry about jobs. The unemployment rate is expected to move higher after hitting a 26-year high of 9.5 percent in June.

In midmorning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 11.49, or 0.1 percent, to 9,142.97. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 3.25, or 0.3 percent, to 983.50, while the Nasdaq composite rose 3.30, or 0.2 percent, to 1,981.00.
