6 Peristiwa Terbesar Dalam Dunia IT

Bagi para penggila dunia IT dan dunia maya salah satunya sudah pasti mengenal apa itu Yahoo, Facebook, Ipod, apple, microsoft, google dan lain-lain. nah, kali ini aku akan memberikan informasi mengenai peristiwa besar dalam dunia IT.
Berikut 6 Peristiwa Terbesar dalam Dunia IT :

1. Yahoo Melewatkan Facebook
Tahukah Anda kalau Mark Zuckerberg pernah nyaris menjual hak kepemilikan Facebook kepada Yahoo? Tahun 2006, Yahoo melihat potensi Facebook cukup besar untuk dijadikan lawan MySpace. Mereka sempat menawarkan uang sebesar US$ 1 miliar kepada Mark. Namun saat akuisisi nyaris terjadi, tiba-tiba Yahoo mengalami penurunan saham sampai 22 persen. Reaksi Yahoo? Bernegosiasi menurunkan tawaran harga kepada Mark menjadi US$ 800 juta saja. Jelas dirinya menolak dan akhirnya memutuskan untuk membesarkan Facebook sendirian. 
2. Real Networks Menolak “iPod”
iPod, pemutar file multimedia paling populer saat ini, ternyata pernah ditolak konsepnya oleh Philips dan Real Networks. Tepatnya tahun 2000, Tony Fadell menawarkan konsep pemutar MP3 mungil, bergaya, dan menyediakan content-delivery system yang memudahkan pengisian musik, bernama Pod. Hanya Apple yang mau menerima proposal Fadell dan memproduksi peranti yang kita kenal sebagai iPod serta content-delivery system bernama iTunes. Saat ini iTunes mendominasi 80% pasar musik digital berbayar di dunia. Kabar Real Networks? Dengan RealPlayer-nya, pendapatan mereka per tahun hanya segelintir dibanding penghasilan Apple dari iTunes saja, belum ditambah penjualan iPod.  

3. IBM Mengatrol Microsoft 
 


Tahun 1980, IBM sedang mengerjakan proyek PC pertama dan mencari perusahaan perangkat lunak yang bisa menyediakan disc operating system (DOS). Awalnya mereka meminta bantuanGary Kildall dari Digital Research, pembuat sistem operasi CP/M.


4. Xerox Alto “Dicuri” Apple


Vendor Xerox mengembangkan sebuah komputer pertama yang memakai window-based GUI. Komputer yang ada sebelumnya hanya mengandalkan teks sebagai operasionalnya. Diberi nama Alto, komputer ini sudah dilengkapi tetikus, jaringan ethernet, dan penyunting teks WSYIWYG (what you see is what you get). Namun saat diluncurkan tahun 1973, pasar konsumen PC belum terbentuk.

Akibatnya Xerox hanya mendistribusikan Alto ke beberapa universitas secara gratis. Nah, tahun 1979, Steve Jobs mengunjungi Xerox PARC, tempat pengerjaan Alto. Saat melihat komputer ini, ia langsung terinspirasi dan kemudian mengimplementasikan banyak fitur utama Alto ke dalam Lisa dan Mac, dua PC yang sedang perusahaannya kembangkan. Ternyata Mac sangat laris manis, sementara Xerox yang akhirnya mengikuti dengan memasarkan Xerox Star (berbasis teknologi Alto) sudah terlambat masuk pasar.

5. “Google” Sebelum Google 

Medio 1990-an ketika perang antar mesin pencari masih berimbang antara Yahoo, Altavista, dan Lycos, ada satu yang mencuat ke permukaan. Open Text Web Index namanya. Mirip Google saat ini, Open Text dikenal karena kecepatan respon, akurasi, dan komprehensif. Tahun 1995, arsitektur Open Text bahkan dibeli Yahoo untuk diterapkan dalam mesin pencariannya.
Namun dua tahun berselang, pemilik Open Text memutuskan berpindah haluan ke sektor content management system untuk enterprise. Padahal tahun 1998, Google baru diluncurkan. Jika saja Open Text (dan Yahoo) tetap bermain di teknologi mesin pencari, mungkin saat ini merekalah yang memimpin pasar. Sayang, mereka tak menyadari besarnya industri mesin pencari pada masa seperti sekarang ini.
6. Microsoft Menyelamatkan Apple

Tahun 1997 adalah tahun kebangkitan Apple. Dalam kondisi krisis keuangan akibat Mac-nya kalah bersaing dengan Power Computing dan Radius, mereka terancam berhenti produksi. Untungnya, datang bantuan yang tak disangka-sangka: Microsoft. Tanpa diduga mereka bersedia membeli saham Apple sebesar US$ 150 juta, relatif cukup untuk memperpanjang nafas.
Steve Jobs, sebagai negosiator dalam perundingan dengan pihak Microsoft, akhirnya ditunjuk sebagai CEO Apple. Kemudian lewat tangan dinginnya, Apple kini malah mampu menandingi Microsoft — sang juru penolong — dalam kompetisi bisnis TI.

Kisah Sukses Google

Google adalah plesetan dari kata ‘googol’, yang dipakai oleh Milton Sirotta, keponakan dari ahli matematika Amerika Edward Kasner, untuk menyebutkan angka 1 dan mempunyai 100 angka nol dibelakangnya. Google memakai kata ini dalam menjelaskan misi perusahaan untuk mengorganisasi sedemikian banyaknya informasi yang tersedia di Internet dan didunia ini.
Pencetus lahirnya google adalah dua orang mahasiswa Standford University, Larry Page dan Sergey Brin. Larry Page lahir pada tanggal 26 Maret 1973 di Lansing, Michigan
Ketika menjadi seorang siswa di program Ph.D. ilmu komputer Universitas Stanford, Page bertemu Sergey Brin. Bersama mereka menjalankan mesin pencari Google, yang mulai beroperasi pada 1998. Google didasarkan pada teknologi PageRank yang telah dipatenkan, yang mendasarkan pada struktur link – link antar situs web untuk menentukan peringkat suatu situs tertentu. Page masih tetap on leave dari program Ph.D.
Dengan terus melakukan penelitian Page menjalankan Google sebagai presiden bersama dengan Brin sampai 2001, ketika mereka merekrut Eric Schmidt untuk menjadi ketua umum dan CEO Google. Page sekarang menjalankan Google sebagai tritunggal bersama dengan Brin dan Schmidt.
Eric Schmidt merupakan lulusan Yorktown High School (Virginia). Setelah lulus dari yorktown Schmidt meneruskan sekolahnya ke Princeton University untuk mendapatkan gelar Bachelor of Science pada bidang studi Electrical Engineering. Pada tahun 1979 Schmidt mendapatkan gelar Master dalam Rekayasa Elektronika dan kemudian diteruskan dengan gelar Ph.D. dalam Ilmu Komputer pada tahun 1982 dari University of California, Berkeley. Schmidt juga bergabung dalam pembuatan lex, sebuah lexical parser dan sebuah alat penting dalam konstruksi compiler. Selain itu ia juga pernah mengajar secara part time di Standford Business School sebagai seorang professor.
Lalu Schmidt mencerita kan sedikit tentang kisah menarik dari awal berdirinya google sampai menjadi sebuah perusahaan besar. Mungkin anda belum tahu bahwa istilah Google adalah istilah yang salah tulis. Sebenarnya awal mulanya adalah diberi nama Googol yang berarti angka yang sangat besar yaitu angka satu dan diikuti dengan 100 angka nol dibelakangnya. Karena sudah terlanjur didaftarkan sebagai nama domain nya, maka nama google adalah nama yang dipakai sampai sekarang.
Buku seharga 75 ribu dan setebal 370 halaman ini memuat cerita-cerita menarik yang bias kita ambil manfaatnya yaitu: 

1. Semangat kerja keras dan pantang menyerah
Pada awal mula Google berdiri, Larry dan Sergey harus mengumpulkan komputer-komputer bekas untuk memenuhi kebutuhan server mereka. Mereka rela bekerja di garasi yang mereka sewa dan bekerja disana siang dan malam.
Ketika mesin pencari yang mereka berhasil dan sukses dibandingkan dengan saingan mereka, tidak serta merta kesuksesan financial ada pada pihak mereka. Pada mulanya Google pernah ditawarkan ke Altavista seharga satu juta dollar tetapi ditolak. Dan pernah juga ditawarkan ke Yahoo tetapi ditolak juga, padahal sekarang Google adalah penyuplai data terbesar ke Yahoo untuk menyediakan data kedalam mesin pencarian mereka.
Juga ketika mereka sudah mendapatkan modal tidak serta merta Google langsung mendapatkan keuntungan. Lebih dari 1 tahun google tidak menghasilkan apa-apa. Baru seteleh ditemukannya system periklanan baru dalam mesin pencarian mereka, Google mulai menghasilkan banyak uang ke pundi-pundi mereka.

2. Kumpulkan pengguna baru kumpulkan uang
Ini menurut saya adalah strategi yang paling bagus yang mereka ambil. Google tidak pernah memungut biaya untuk menggunakan mesin pencari mereka. Mereka bebas memakainya. Seperti teleivisi dan radio,semua bebas menikmatinya. Semakin banyak penggunanya semakin banyak pula pemasang iklan yang akan meminatinya, dan inilah yang telah dilkukan Google. Tidak seperti vendor-vendor lainnya yang mengharuskan membayar sekian dollar untuk produk-produk mereka ,tetapi Google mengratiskannya. Seperti Google Destop dan Google Earth yang bebas untuk dipakai oleh siapa saja.

3. Inovasi tiada henti
Google adalah tempat para pakar memikirkan bagaimana memecahkan masalah terlebih dahulu baru kemudian memikirkan produk. Baru setelah produk jadi mereka boleh bingung bagaimana menjual produk mereka.

4. Hargai karyawan
Ini adalah keputusan yang hebat lainnya yang diambil para pendiri Google dalam rangka menciptakan suasana kerja di tempat mereka yang sering disebut Googleplex. Di kantor Google, para programmernya masih sempat bermain bilyard,para assistennya masih sempat makan cemilan. Bahkan Google menyediakan koki khusus untuk menyiapkan makan siang mereka. Tiap hari selalu ada menu istimewa.
Semua karyawan diberlakukan seperti keluarga, makan siang gratis, minuman keseatan cuma-Cuma, layanan binatu, peƱata rambut, dokter umum, dokter gigi, tukang cuci mobil, tempat penitipan anak, fasilitas kebugaran lengkap dengan pelatihnya,tukang pijat.
Sarana dan prasarananya juga dibangun seperti volley pantai, futsal dan hoki sepatu roda. Untuk antar jemput karyawannya Google menyediakan bis antar jemput yang dilengkapi internet wireless dengan akses cepat. Jadi sewaktu-waktu para programmernya bisa langsung kerja.

5. Don’t be evil
Apa yang membedakan Google dengan mesin-mesin pencari lainnya adalah kejujurannya. Jika mesin pencari lainnya pada mulanya adalah hasil pencarian yang menduduki rangking paling atas adalah yang membayar yang paling tinggi, sedangkan Google tidak. Hasil pencarian Google yang menduduki paling atas adalah situs-situs yang paling banyak direferensikan oleh situs-situs lainnya. Sistem ini disebut PageRank.

Google Nobatkan Facebook Sebagai Raja Dunia Maya

SAN FRANSISCO - Data dalam laporan Google mengindikasikan jika Facebook telah menjadi raja di dunia maya dikarenakan jumlah pengunjungnya yang cukup besar.

"Facebook telah dikunjungi oleh sekira 540 juta orang setiap bulannya, atau lebih 35 persen dari total populasi internet di dunia," laporan Google Ad Planner yang dikumpulkan melalui Double Click, seperti dikutip melalui AFP, Senin (31/5/2010).

Menurut data tersebut, hampir 570 miliar halaman telah dikunjungi setiap bulannya di situs jejaring sosial tersebut, atau delapan kali lebih banyak ketimbang halaman yang dikunjungi pengguna internet di Yahoo, yang selama ini hanya menarik sekira 490 juta pengunjung.

Kesuksesaan Facebook menghipnotis pengguna internet di seluruh dunia pun terbukti dengan sedikitnya orang yang mendaftar di gerakan 'berhenti menggunakan Facebook' pada tanggal 31 Mei ini. Dalam akun tersebut, hanya sekira 23,515 orang yang berkomitmen untuk mengikuti seruan tersebut. Jumlah itu hanya merepresentasikan sekira ,006 persen dari total pengguna Facebook yang berjumlah 400 juta.

Ini merupakan bukti jika Facebook benar-benar telah merasuk ke dalam aktivitas keseharian pengguna internet. Tidak hanya pengguna internet biasa tapi juga selebriti, tokoh politik dan lainnya yang cukup bergantung pada Facebook.

Bahkan meski kecaman bertubi-tubi datang untuk 'menjatuhkan' Facebook, terutama permasalahan pengaturan privasi, hal ini tetap membuat anggota Facebook tidak beranjak.

Nobody's Home - Avril Lavigne

I couldn’t tell you why she felt that way,
She felt it everyday.
And I couldn’t help her,
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.
What’s wrong, what’s wrong now?
Too many, too many problems.
Don’t know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody’s home.
It’s where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
Open your eyes and look outside, find the reasons why.
You’ve been rejected, and now you can’t find what you left behind.
Be strong, be strong now.
Too many, too many problems.
Don’t know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody’s home.
It’s where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can’t find.
She’s losing her mind.
She’s fallen behind.
She can’t find her place.
She’s losing her faith.
She’s fallen from grace.
She’s all over the place.
Yeah,oh
She wants to go home, but nobody’s home.
It’s where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
She’s lost inside, lost inside…oh oh yeah
She’s lost inside, lost inside…oh oh yeah

Touch The Sky - Avril lavigne

I used to carry this big old world
On my shoulders and back
I used to lie inside my room
Wondering where Im at

I felt a chill running through my veins
And wondered, would I be saved?
I felt the ice building in my soul
Would it melt away?

Hes a warm breeze
Breathing life into me
Hes the sunlight
Shining down on me

I used to worry my life away
Counting every dime
Shutting out the ones I loved
Never finding the time

And then one day I was overcome
By loneliness and dispair
And deep inside I thought I heard
"Lean on me, Im here"

Hes a warm breeze
Breathing life into me
Hes the sunlight
Shining down on me

I pulled the burden from off my back
And tossed it into the wind
And stretched my arms toward the sky
And let my life begin

And like a tree, I have measured up
Best when Ive been cut down
And like a tree, I can touch the sky
With my feet on the ground

Hes a warm breeze
Breathing life into me
Hes the sunlight
Shining down on me

Hes a warm breeze
Breathing life into me
Hes the sunlight
Shining down on me, yeah

Shining down on me
Shining down, shining down
Shining down on me

Take Me Away - Avril lavigne

I cannot find a way to describe it
Its there inside, all I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do, you do, if you knew

What would you do
All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said

Back and forth inside my head
I cant handle this confusion
Im unable, come and take me away
I feel like I am all alone

All by myself I need to get around this
My words are cold, I dont want them to hurt you
If I show you, I dont think youd understand
Cause no one understands

All the pain I thought I knew
All my thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head

I cant handle this confusion
Im unable, come and take me away
Im going no where [on and on and]
Im getting no where [on and on and on]

Take me away
Im going no where [on and on and on and on]
[and off and on and off and on]
All the pain I thought I knew

All my thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I cant handle this confusion

Im unable, come and take me away
Take me away
Break me away
Take me away

Losing Grip - Avril lavigne


Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby?
right now I feel invisible to you like Im not real.
Didnt you feel me lock my arms around you?
Whyd you turn away?

Heres what I have to say...
I was left to cry there
Waitin outside there
Grinnin with the lost stare,

Thats when I decided...
Why should I care?
Cause you werent there,
When I was scared,

I was so alone.
You need to listen.
Im startin to trip,
Im losin my grip

And Im in this thing alone.
Am I just some chick you place beside you,
to take somebodys place?
When you turn around,

can you recognize my face?
You used to love me
you used to hug me,
but that wasnt the case,

everything wasnt okay.
I was left to cry there
Waitin outside there
Grinnin with the lost stare,

Thats when I decided...
Why should I care?
Cause you werent there when I was scared,
I was so alone.

You, you need to listen,
Im startin to trip
Im losing my grip
and Im in this thing alone.

Crying out loud
Im crying out loud

Open your eyes,

Why should I care?
Cause you werent there when I was scared

I was so alone.

Everything Back But You-Avril Lavigne

Today was the worst day, I went through hell
I wish I could remove it from my mind
Two months away from you but I couldn't tell
I thought that everything was gonna be just fine

The postcard that you wrote with the stupid little note
Something wasn't quite right about it
Smelled like cheap perfume
And it didn't smell like you

There is no way you can get around it
Because you wrote
[Chorus]
I wish you were her

You left out the "E"
You left without me
And now you're somewhere out there with a
Hey hey

Psycho babe,
I hate you
Why are guys so lame?
Everything I gave you

I want everything back but you
My friends tried to tell me all along
That you weren't the right one for me
My friends tried to tell me to be strong

I bet you didn't think that I would see
The postcard that you wrote with the stupid little note
Something wasn't quite right about it
I wanna see you cry like I did a thousand times

Now you're losing me, you're losing me now
Because you wrote
[Chorus]
The postcard that you wrote with the stupid little note

Something wasn't quite right about it
Smelled like cheap perfume and it didn't smell like you
There is no way you can get around it
Because you wrote

[Chorus]
I wish you were her
You left out the "E"
You left without me

Everything back but you
I wish you were her
You left out the "E"
You left without me

Everything back but you

Innocence-Avril Lavigne

Waking up I see that everything is OK
The first time in my life and now it’s so great
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great
I wouldn’t change a thing about it
This is the best feeling
[Chorus]
This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don’t go away
I need you now
And I’ll hold on to it
Don’t you let it pass you by
I found a place so safe, not a single tear
The first time in my life and now it’s so clear
Feel calm, I belong, I’m so happy here
It’s so strong and now I let myself be sincere
I wouldn’t change a thing about it
This is the best feeling
[Chorus]
It’s a state of bliss, you think you’re dreaming
It’s the happiness inside that you’re feeling
It’s so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
It’s a state of bliss, you think you’re dreaming
It’s the happiness inside that you’re feeling
It’s so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
It’s so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
This innocence is brilliant
Makes you wanna cry
This innocence is brilliance
Please don’t go away
Cause I need you now
And I’ll hold on to it
Don’t you let it pass you by
[Chorus]

My Happy Ending-Avril Lavigne

So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do [CD version]
All the stuff that you do [radio edited version]

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus]

It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

[Chorus x2]

[x2]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
So much for my happy ending

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Don't Tell Me-Avril Lavigne

You held my hand and walked me home I know
While you gave me that kiss it was something like this it made me go ooh ohh
You wiped my tears, got rid of all my fears, why did you have to go?
Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love
Guys are so hard to trust
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl?
The one who gives it all away

[Chorus:]
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was somethin I was gonna do and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do,
Dont try to tell me what to say,
Your better off that way

Don't think that your charm and the fact that your arm is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants I'll have to kick your ass and make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop, thought I liked you a lot, but I'm really upset
Get out of my head get off of my bed yeah thats what I said
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl, the one who, throws it all away

[Chorus]
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was somethin I was gonna do and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do,
Dont try to tell me what to say,
Your better off that way

This guilt trip that you put me on won't, mess me up I've done no wrong
Any thoughts of you and me have gone away

[Chorus]
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was somethin I was gonna do and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do,
Dont try to tell me what to say,
Your better off that way

Better off that way
I'm better off alone anyway

Tripping out
Spinning around
I'm underground, I fell down
yeah, I fell down

I'm freaking out
Where am I now?
Upside down
And I can't stop it now
You can't stop me now

I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop it
I, I won't cry

I found myself in Wonderland
Get back on my feet again

Is this real?
Is it pretend?

Oh Holy Night-Avril Lavigne

[Avril]
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of my dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

[Chantal]
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

[Avril]
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night divine, O night, O night divine!

[Chantal, 3 rd Verse of the original ]
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His Gospel is peace
lyricsalls.blogspot.com
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease

[Avril]
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy Name!

[Avril , Chantal a high pitched accompaniment]
Christ is the King! That ever, ever praise we!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!

[Avril] oh-oh , oh , oh

[Avril , Chantal a high pitched accompaniment]
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!

Why do you have to leave, me
It seems, I'm losing something deep inside of me
Hold on, onto me

Now I see

Everybody hurts some days
Its okay to be afraid
Everybody hurts
Everybody screams
Everybody feels this way
And its okay
La di da di da
Its okay

It feels like nothing really matters anymore
When you're gone
I can't breathe
And I know you never meant to make me feel this way
This can't be happening

Now I see (now I see)
Now I see

Everybody hurts somedays
Its okay to be afraid

How Does It Fell-Avril Lavigne

I'm not afraid of anything
I just need to know that i can breathe
I don't need much of anything
But suddenly, suddenly

I am small and the world is big
All around me is fast moving
Surrounded by so many things
But suddenly, suddenly

[Chorus]
How does it feel, to be different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel, to be different from me?
Are we the same?
How does it feel?

I'm young, and I am free
But I get tired, and I get weak
lyricsalls.blogspot.com
I get lost, and I can't sleep
But suddenly, suddenly

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Would you comfort me
Would you cry with me;

Ahh, ahh, ahh-ah
Ahh, ahh-ah
Ahh, ahh-ah
Ahh, ahh-ah
Ahh, ahh, ahh-ah
Ahh, ahh-ah
Ahh, ahh-ah
Ahh, ahh-ah

I am small and the world is big
But I'm not afraid of anything;

Different from me, different...

I do what I want when I feel like it
All I wanna do is lose control
But you don't really give a shit
you don't let it go let it go with it
'cause you're fucking crazy rock'n'roll

You said "Hey,
What's your name?"
it took one look
and now I'm not the same
Yeah you said "Hey."
and since that day
you stole my heart
and you're the one to blame

It's been a while
since every day and everything has

The reason why I smile

Last night I blacked out I think
What did you, what did you put in my drink?
I remember making out and then, oh, oh
I woke up with a new tattoo
your name was on me and my name was on you
I will do it all over again

When Your Gone-Avril Lavigne

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you

Out here forever
I know we were, yeah

And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too

And when you're gone
All the words I need to hear will always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss you

Siswa Siswi Jepang Paling Sopan di Dunia



REPUBLIKA.CO.ID,TOKYO - Jepang bisa membanggakan disiplin siswa-siswi negara tersebut di sekolah. Perilaku siswa Jepang di kelas itu lebih baik atau terbaik dunia. Demikian hasil penelitian internasional.
Menurut hasil penelitian tersebut, murid-murid di Jepang menempati posisi tertinggi dalam peringkat perilaku baik. Laporan dari forum kerjasama ekonomi OECD mendapati jumlah gangguan di kelas pada tahun 2009 lebih sedikit jika dibandingkan angka hasil penelitian tahun 2000.

Siswa-siswi di Inggris berperilaku lebih baik jika dibandingan perilaku rata-rata siswa di negara lain. Namun, negara dan kawasan Asia mendominasi posisi teratas di daftar peringkat perilaku terbaik.
OECD menerbitkan analisis statistik perilaku yang dihimpun sebagai bagian dari penelitian internasional forum tersebut. Penelitian itu juga membandingkan kinerja sistem pendidikan.
Penelitian OECD mencermati tingkat gangguan yang terjadi di kelas dari segi berapa lama guru harus menunggu siswa usia 15 tahun ''menjadi tenang'' dalam proses belajar. Penelitian mendapati bahwa, meski banyak pihak merisaukan perilaku buruk, kemungkinan remaja gaduh dan berulah itu menurun jika dibandingkan dengan hasil analisis internasional serupa pada 2000.

''Keyakinan umum selama ini mempercayai disiplin siswa turun dari satu angkatan ke angkatan berikutnya. Keyakinan tersebut juga mempercayai bahwa para guru kehilangan kendali atas kelas mereka. Namun, keyakinan umum itu keliru,'' kata laporan OECD. ''Antara tahun 2000 dan 2009, disiplin di sekolah ternyata tidak memburuk. Bahkan, di banyak negara disiplin siswa justru meningkat.''
Negara-negara dan kawasan di Asia menempati tujuh dari 10 tempat teratas. Tiga tempat teratas ditempati oleh negara di Eropa timur.
Dua sistem persekolahan Cina (Shangai dan Hongkong) berada di posisi empat teratas. Ini mencerminkan munculnya Cina sebagai adidaya pendidikan yang tengah bangkit.

Dalam hasil pengukuran penelitian terhadap keterampilan baca-tulis yang diterbitkan bulan Desember, sistem persekolahan Shanghai menempati posisi teratas di dunia. Dalam penelitian perilaku ini, Inggris menempati posisi ke-28 dengan skor yang menempatkan perilaku siswa Inggris di atas rata-rata. Posisi Inggris di belakang Amerika Serikat dan Jerman, tapi di atas Prancis dan Italia.
Peringkat pendidikan internasional hasil penelitian OECD ini menempatkan negara-negara Skandinavia di posisi bawah. Finlandia, yang biasanya berada di peringkat teratas urutan sekolah dunia, berada di tiga posisi terbawah. Hanya Argentina dan Yunani yang disebut mengalami gangguan lebih banyak di dalam kelas.

Avril berbicara tentang penampilan barunya dalam sebuah wawancara pada bulan September 2006, dia menjelaskan "When I was in high school I was a little shit, hanging out with the guys, gettting drunk, getting in fights, playing hockey. My band were all guys, so I was only around guys, but when I got older I started being more of a chick. I broke out on the scence lookina like the 17-year-old that I was. And from then to now I look really different - but that's called growing up".

Kehidupan Pribadi

Dalam majalah Seventeen edisi Januari 2003, Avril mengakui "I was always snagging a bit of Matt's cheeseburger everynow and again". Juga mengatakan dalam wawancara setelahnya, dia mengatakan tidak memakan daging, tetapi tidak mengatakan bahwa dia vegetarian, suatu waktu seseorang bisa seja menemuinya sedang memakan daging.
Sebagai seorang remaja dia biasanya bermain di Restoran La Pizzera di Napanee, Ontario.

Avril mempunyai tato bintang di pergelangan tangan kirinya yang merupakan salah satu gaya yang digunakan untuk album pertamanya. Tato tersebut dibuat bersamaan dengan tato milik Ben Moddy, teman Avril yang merupakan mantan personil band Evanescence.

Avril pernah digosipkan memiliki hubungan istimewa dengan mantan gitarisnya Jesse Colburn, tetapi menolak rumor tersebut, dan menjelaskan bahwa dia tidak memiliki hubungan apapun selain 'teman' dengannya maupun dengan anggota band lainnya sepeti Evan Taubenfeld atau siapapun. Walaupun begitu, Evan Taubenfeld masih menganggap bahwa Avril adalah sahabat terbaiknya disepanjang waktu dan seluas dunia, seperti yang dia katakan dalam halaman web resmi band "Q&A", band terakhirnya. Dalam majalah J-14, Avril bercerita tentang ciuman pertamanya terjadi saat dia berumur 14 tahun.
Tahun 2004, muncul sebuah berita bahwa Avril dan Hillary Duff bertengkar hebat. "I read that I was supossedly mad at my fans for dresssing like me" kata Avril dalam koran mingguan Quoted. "They quoted Hillary Duff saying 'Avril need to appreciate her fans and blah, blah, blah.' I'm like, excuse me? First off, it's not even true. I never said that, and second, who the hell cares what she has to say about my fans? Whatever, Hillary Duff such a goody-goody, such a mommy's girl". Baru-baru ini dilaporkan ada dramatisir antara mereka berdua di pesta Maxim di New York, dengan kejadian yang berbelit-belit dan rumit saat kedatangan mereka karena pelarian yang tak diinginkan. Avril berbicara sangat kasar, melompat secara kasar dan memaksa pihak penyelenggara pesta untuk meninggalkan tempat itu.
Bulan Februari 2004, dia mulai menjalin hubungan khusus dengan penyanyi Kanada Deryck Whibley, yang merupakan vokalis utama/gitaris pop punk band Sum 41. Pada tanggal 27 Juni 2005, Avril dan Deryck berwisata romantis ke Venice, Italia. Pasangan ini menikah disebuah gereja katholik dengan upacara pernikahan secara agamis dengan disaksikan sekitar 110 tamu undangan pada tanggal 15 Juli 2006, di sebuah lahan pribadi di California coastal city of Montecito. Saat ditanya apakah mereka siap untuk diberi keturunan, mereka mengatakan "not right now but somewhere down the road". Namun ternyata sekarang hubungan mereka tidak abadi lagi, hal tersebut dikarenaan perselingkuhan yang terjadi antara Deryck dengan Hilton. Avril pun menggugat cerai.
