The New MacBook Air Part III : Software

Mac OS X. The world’s most advanced operating system.

At the heart of every MacBook Air — and every Mac — is Mac OS X, an operating system custom made for the Intel multicore processors and advanced graphics inside. The latest version, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, is based on an entirely 64-bit architecture and so are virtually all of the applications that come with a Mac. Translation: everything you do on your MacBook Air happens with dramatic speed and incredible overall performance.

Powerful applications that are easy to use.

Because Apple makes MacBook Air and the software that comes on it, everything works together perfectly. Becoming familiar with Apple applications takes almost no time because they all work in similar ways. So once you get the hang of one application, it takes little or no effort to master the others. And Apple understands portable productivity. Which is why we include features — like Exposé and Spaces — to help you access everything on your MacBook Air easily. With one keystroke or gesture, Exposé instantly tiles all your open windows, scales them down and neatly arranges them in a grid, so you can see what’s in every single one. And Spaces lets you group windows together within their own desktop or space, that you can move between quickly. Create a space for work, a space for play, a space for whatever you like. Together, Exposé and Spaces give you a big advantage when you’re multi-tasking on a small screen.




Even the everyday stuff is amazing.

Unlike a lot of PC notebooks, MacBook Air comes with everything you need to send email, manage your calendar, organise your contacts and more. And it’s ready to do all these things minutes after you take it out of the box. That’s because every Mac comes with Mail for sending and receiving email, iCal for managing appointments and important events, Address Book for organising your contacts, iTunes for all things entertainment and other fun and useful applications that’ll have you wondering how you ever lived without them.




 

Mac security features.

A Mac takes strong measures to keep your digital world as safe as possible.
  • Defense against viruses
    and malware
  • Download alerts
  • Automatic security updates
  • Parental controls
  • Antiphishing alerts
  • Password Assistant
  •  

One thing a Mac doesn’t do:
Get PC viruses.

Trojan horses, worms, email viruses. The digital world can be a scary place. Thankfully, a Mac isn’t susceptible to the thousands of viruses plaguing Windows-based computers. Mac OS X comes with built-in defenses that keep you safe, without any work on your part. And when a potential security threat arises, Apple responds quickly by providing software updates and security enhancements you can download automatically and install with a click.

Wireless networking made pick-and-choose easy.

Connecting to a wireless network with your MacBook Air couldn’t be easier.1 One click of the AirPort icon in the menu bar gives you a list of available Wi-Fi networks. Select the one you want to join and you’re up and running.

Automatic backup saves the day.
And the week, month and year.

Backing up is essential. Yet you probably don’t do it as often as you should. That’s why your MacBook Air bears the burden of backing up for you. Time Machine, an application that comes on every Mac, automatically backs up your entire system to your external hard drive or Time Capsule. Time Machine keeps a spare copy of every file and it also remembers how your system looked on a given day. So you can revisit your Mac as it appeared in the past.



iPhoto. The Mac way to organise, edit and share your photos.

iPhoto is an easy-to-use photo application that makes it fast and fun to organise and find your pictures, as well as make them look their absolute best. With features like Faces, Places and Events, iPhoto helps you keep track of your photos by who’s in them, where you were and when you took them — all in an immersive full-screen view. Use quick and simple editing tools to make so-so shots picture perfect with just a few clicks. iPhoto even lets you share your photos with the world with beautiful photo books and letterpress cards or online via Facebook, MobileMe and Flickr.



iMovie. Turn your home movies into home blockbusters.

Don’t settle for boring home movies. With iMovie, you can transform the videos you shoot into your very own indie flicks. Create a Hollywood-style trailer that’ll make your audience laugh, cry and cheer for more. If you know how to drag and drop, you can make a movie in iMovie. It comes with Apple-designed themes that look fun and professional. Just choose one and iMovie does the rest, adding animated titles and sophisticated transitions automatically. Customise your screen gem further with your own words and audio.

 

GarageBand. Put the spotlight on your inner rock star.

Whether you’re musically gifted or mostly curious, GarageBand is the application for you. Plug in your electric guitar or USB music keyboard and get ready to rock with virtual replicas of the most revered amps and stompboxes in the world, as well as over 100 software instruments. Just because you didn’t grow up learning your A, B and C sharp doesn’t mean you can’t. Basic Lessons teach you just that: the basics. Choose from 40 lessons that cover blues guitar, rock guitar, classical piano, pop piano and more. Or get a private lesson from one of your musical heroes, like Sting or Death Cab for Cutie, with Artist Lessons.2 GarageBand even tells you how well you’re playing in real time with a feature called “How Did I Play?”


The New MacBook Air Part II : Performance

Might made light.

Don’t be fooled by the sliver-thin profile of MacBook Air. This small wonder features powerful NVIDIA graphics, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, lightning-fast flash storage and long battery life. So while looks may be deceiving, performance doesn’t lie.

 
 

Powerful NVIDIA graphics.

The new MacBook Air features the fastest integrated graphics on the market. The NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 48 processing cores boasts a performance gain of over 2x when compared to the previous-generation MacBook Air.1 That makes a huge difference when you’re firing up graphics-intensive applications or playing 3D games like EVE or Call of Duty 4. Speaking of huge, connect a 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display to MacBook Air and marvel at how the NVIDIA GeForce 320M drives over four million pixels of eye-popping colour on-screen.

Fast Intel processors.

 
It may be hard to believe that a computer so slim is capable of keeping up with your everyday tasks. But this one is. With an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 3MB of shared L2 cache (6MB on the 13-inch model), MacBook Air runs your applications smoothly and efficiently. So you can do everything you normally use a computer for. Touch up your photos, edit home movies, create presentations, send email, play games and all the other little (and big) tasks in between. On a notebook that weighs less than a Sunday paper.


 

All-flash storage.

 

“Wow, that was fast.” With MacBook Air, you’ll find yourself saying that a lot. Because flash storage is two times faster than a conventional hard drive,2 everything you do is more responsive — browsing a large photo library, launching applications, opening files and waking MacBook Air from sleep, for instance. And flash storage doesn’t have any moving parts. Which means it’s more reliable and it’s also quiet. Lightning fast, durable, silent — fitting qualities for an ultra-compact notebook like MacBook Air.



 
  • Up to 5-7 hrs
    wireless productivity


  • Up to 30 days
    standby time


Long-lasting battery.

Take MacBook Air with you to the office, to school, to wherever and you’ll be amazed at how far it will take you. The 11-inch MacBook Air has a battery that lasts up to 5 hours and the 13-inch model lasts up to 7 hours. And while you may never pry yourself away from your notebook for up to 30 days, with MacBook Air, you can if you want to.3 Standby mode gives MacBook Air the ability to wake instantly from days — even weeks — of standby, with battery life to spare.

The New MacBook Air Part I : Design

Everything we've learned has come to this.

We learned a lot from iPad. The new MacBook Air is proof. It’s designed around all-flash storage for better responsiveness and reliability. It features a trackpad with full Multi-Touch support. And though it’s incredibly thin and light, its large battery gives you portable power that lasts for hours.



Advanced technology from iPad. Taken to the air.

A truly mobile device needs to be light, thin and strong enough to take with you wherever you go. It also needs to perform quickly, spring to life instantly and have enough battery power to keep up with you. It should have no spinning hard drive, no optical drive and no unnecessary parts. All of that is true of iPad. And now, it’s true of Apple’s most mobile notebook ever: MacBook Air.

 

MacBook Air continues its legacy of firsts with something entirely new for any Mac: flash storage. Standard. In fact, the new MacBook Air is designed completely around flash storage. But in a totally different way. Typically, flash storage is housed in a package that’s the same size as a conventional hard drive. Yet the flash chips themselves occupy a very small portion of that housing. Getting rid of the hard drive enclosure and using only the parts that matter — the actual flash chips — frees up about 90 percent more space. And just like that, there’s room for other important things, like a bigger battery. Now you have a notebook that weighs practically nothing and runs for hours on a single charge. That’s mobility mastered.

No one knows Multi-Touch technology better than Apple. Introduced with the very first iPhone and taken even further with iPad, Multi-Touch is now part of practically every Apple device. It’s simply the best and most personal way to interact with your software. And the optimal way to experience Multi-Touch on a notebook is through a trackpad. That’s precisely the case with MacBook Air. Now you can perform more gestures than you have fingers on a roomier, all-glass surface that’s smooth to the touch.


If you looked inside MacBook Air, you’d see something remarkable: how much space we devoted to the battery. Apple engineers were able to fit all the computer components on one of our smallest logic boards ever. Removing the flash storage enclosure and placing the flash chips on the logic board freed up even more room. And voila: space for a bigger battery. So you can get up to 5 hours of battery life on the 11-inch MacBook Air and up to 7 hours on the 13-inch model. And when you put MacBook Air to sleep for more than an hour, it enters what’s called standby mode. So you can come back to MacBook Air a day, a week — even up to an entire month later — and it wakes in an instant.1 Time is on your side, courtesy of MacBook Air.


 

FaceTime Camera

The FaceTime camera inside the MacBook Air unibody display is even thinner than the one inside iPhone 4.

When MacBook Air first debuted, it was ground-breaking in many ways. Chief among them was the precision unibody enclosure. Now that same engineering process comes to the MacBook Air display. Just like the main enclosure, the display housing is crafted from a single piece of aluminium, with all the structural elements machined directly into it. Total unibody construction means a less complex design with fewer parts. That makes MacBook Air exceptionally thin and light, yet still durable enough to handle the rigors of everyday use.

Kerana Bulu Mata Masuk Syurga

Diceritakan di hari pembalasan kelak, ada seorang hamba Allah sedang diadili. Dia dituduh bersalah kerana mensia-siakan hidupnya di dunia utk berbuat maksiat. Namun begitu dia berkeras membantah,


“Tidak demi langit dan bumi,sungguh tidak benar. saya tak pernah malakukan perkara itu…”


“Tetapi saksi-saksi mengatakan engkau betul telah menjerumuskan dirimu sendiri ke dalam dosa”


Orang itu menoleh ke kiri dan ke kanan, lalu merenung segenap penjuru ruang yang ada. Kemudian dia pun menyanggah, “mana saksi-saksi yang engkau maksudkan? disini tiada sesiapa melainkan aku dan suaramu sahaja.”


Jawab malaikat, “Inilah saksi-saksimu…”


Tiba-tiba mata berbicara,“Saya yang memandang,”


disusuli dengan telinga,“Saya yang mendengar perkara itu”


Hidung pun tidak ketinggalan,“Saya yang mencium”


Bibir pun mengaku dengan slumbernye,“Saya yang merayu”


Lidah menambah dengan berani,“Saya yang menjilat dan menghisap”


Tangan tanpa malu meneruskan,“Saya yang meraba dan meramas”


Kaki pula menyusul,“Saya yang berjalan dan berlari semasa itu”


“Nah kalau dibiarkan kesemua anggota tubuhmu akan memberikan kesaksian tentang perbuatan aibmu,” ujar malaikat. Orang tersebut tidak dapat membuka sanggahnya lagi. Ia berputus asa dan amat berduka kerana sebentar lagi ia akan dihumban ke dalam neraka jahannam.. Padahal ia amat berharap agar segala perbuatan jahatnya dapat diselindungi. Tatkala dia sedang dilanda kesedihan, tiba-tiba terdengar satu suara yg amat lembut dari sehelai bulu mata berbunyi, ” Saya pun ingin mengangkat sumpah untuk menjadi saksi dalam perkara ini.”


Malaikat menjawab dengan tenang,“Silakan wahai bulu mata”


“Terus terang sahaja, menjelang ajalnya pada satu malam yang hening, aku pernah dibasahi dengan juraian air mata penyesalan mengenangkan segala perbuatan keji yang telah dilakukan. Bukankah rasulnya telah berjanji, apabila ada seorang hamba yang ingin bertaubat, walaupun sehelai bulu mata sahaja yg dibasahi dengan air mata, demikian itu diharamkan dirinya dari ancaman api neraka? Maka, saya sehelai bulu mata, berani tampil sebagai saksi bahawa dia telah bertaubat sampai membasahi saya dengan air mata penyesalan.”


Dengan kesaksian bulu mata itu, orang tersebut dibebaskan dari neraka dan segera dihantar ke syurga:


“Lihatlah hamba Allah ini masuk syurga kerana pertolongan bulu mata.., maka perbanyakkanlah kita dengan bertaubat dan tangisilah dosa-dosa yang telah kita lakukan dengan air......janganlah kita berputus asa dengan Rahmat Allah....sesungguhnya Dia Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang”?

Kesan Zikir Kepada Otak

Otak hanyalah aktiviti-aktiviti bio-elektrik yang melibatkan sekumpulan saraf yang dipertanggungjawabkan untuk melakukan tugas-tugas tertentu bagi membolehkan ia berfungsi dengan sempurna.

Setiap hari 14 juta saraf yang membentuk otak ini berinteraksi dengan 16 juta saraf tubuh yang lain.

Semua aktiviti yang kita lakukan dan kefahaman atau ilmu yang kita peroleh adalah natijah daripada aliran interaksi bio-elektrik yang tidak terbatas.

Oleh itu, apabila seorang itu berzikir dengan mengulangi kalimat-kalimat Allah, seperti Subhanallah, beberapa kawasan otak yang terlibat menjadi aktif.

Ini menyebabkan berlakunya satu aliran bio-elektrik di kawasan-kawasan saraf otak tersebut.

Apabila zikir disebut berulang-ulang kali, aktiviti saraf ini menjadi bertambah aktif dan turut menambah tenaga bio-elektrik.

Lama-kelamaan kumpulan saraf yang sangat aktif ini mempengaruhi kumpulan saraf yang lain untuk turut sama aktif.

Dengan itu, otak menjadi aktif secara keseluruhan.

Otak mula memahami perkara baru, melihat dari sudut perspektif berbeza dan semakin kreatif dan kritis, sedang sebelum berzikir otak tidak begini.

Otak yang segar dan cergas secara tidak langsung mempengaruhi hati untuk melakukan kebaikan dan menerima kebenaran.

Hasil kajian makmal yang dilakukan terhadap subjek ini dimuatkan dalam majalah Scientific American, keluaran Disember 1993.

Satu kajian yang dilakukan di Universiti Washington dan ujian ini dilakukan melalui ujian imbasan PET yang mengukur kadar aktiviti otak manusia secara tidak sedar.

Dalam kajian ini, sukarelawan diberikan satu senarai perkataan benda.

Mereka dikehendaki membaca setiap perkataan tersebut satu persatu dan mengaitkan perkataan-perkataan dengan kata kerja yang berkaitan.

Apabila sukarelawan melakukan tugas mereka, beberapa bahagian berbeza otak mempamerkan peningkatan aktiviti saraf, termasuk di bahagian depan otak dan korteks.

Menariknya, apabila sukarelawan ini mengulangi senarai perkataan yang sama berulang-ulang kali, aktiviti saraf otak merebak pada kawasan lain dan mengaktifkan kawasan saraf lain.

Apabila senarai perkataan baru diberikan kepada mereka, aktiviti saraf kembali meningkat di kawasan pertama.

Ini sekali gus membuktikan secara saintifik bahawa perkataan yang diulang-ulang seperti perbuatan berzikir, terbukti meningkatkan kecergasan otak dan menambah kemampuannya.

Oleh itu, saudara-saudaraku se-Islam, ketika saintis Barat baru menemui mukjizat ini, kita umat terpilih ini telah lama mengamalkannya dan menerima manfaatnya.

Malang bagi mereka yang masih memandang enteng kepentingan berzikir dan mengabaikannya.
