Indonesian police probe celebrities Nazril Ariel, Luna Maya, and Cut Tari over sex videos in the Internet

It was reported in JAKARTA (AFP - Thursday, June 10) that three Indonesian celebrities who allegedly appeared in sex videos posted on the Internet will be questioned for possible breaches of a new Indonesian anti-pornography law.
Two explicit video clips that were widely circulated in the internet appear to show popular singer Nazril Ariel having sex with models and television presenters, pretty Luna Maya (his current girlfriend) and sexy, Cut Tari (his ex-girlfriend).
Maya is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations World Food Programme and has appeared in advertisements with Ariel for a soap manufactured by Anglo Dutch food and cosmetics leader Unilever, while Tari endorses Sharp air conditioners. Wooo, this is getting hot! LOL!

The price to pay for being famous? Another Edison Chen like scandal in the making?

Uh oh, tension rising again in Korean waters

The North Korean was accused of sinking a South Korean navy ship in March 2010, killing 46 sailors onboard. It is sad to see that both countries are still at odds at each other since the Korean war ended. Ironically, South Korean has been helping North Koreans in many ways such as children aids, technical aids and many more. I don't understand why North Korea would want to attack South Korea.
Make peace not war!

3 Months Maternity Leave

It was recently suggested by certain party to increase the number of maternity leave to 90 days instead of the normal practice of 30 or 60 days. Taking care of newborn is not an easy task especially if you are first time mother. Furthermore, many couples might no have any relatives to help them especially if they stay in the city, far away from their hometown. If your look at this in the employers' perspective, they might not agree to extend maternity leave for mothers. Companies that are small or running on low budget may have problem giving paid leave for 90 days.
So, what is your say?

Teachers may be required to sit for a qualifying exam to obtain their teaching licence just like doctors and lawyers if the Education Ministry's proposal is accepted.

Bogus teacher?
Do you think this proposal is feasible?

Beware of Rogueware

Roguewares have been in the world wide web for quite some time. One of the local daily carried a report regarding this malicious code written to infiltrate victim computers. Their modus operandi is simple. When you accidentally landed at this malicious site, a screen will pop up or you will receive warning messages that your computer is effected by certain virus, trojan or spywares. Then they would ask you to download an antivirus program. Sometimes they code would virtually take control of your computer unless you shut down your IE with Task Manager. The website would take control no matter if you click yes or no to download the antivirus program. Before they allow you to download the program, the website would ask you for your credit card details. Users or victims who panic would ended up losing their money. Even if they don't ask you for credit card payment details, the downloaded code or antivirus program would gather sensitive data from the victim's computer and send them back to the syndicate. They normally target passwords and bank account details.
If you encounter these type of website, just open your task manager and shut down your IE. Then clear all your cookies without connecting to the internet, then run a virus scan. Hope this post helps!
