Google Doodle To Celebrate Drs. Suyadi's 84th Birthday (Created Si Unyil)

Google Doodle: Drs. Suyadi's 84th Birthday

Source: Google Indonesia

Date: 28 November 2016

Drs. Suyadi, known widely by his alter-ego's name: Pak Raden, created books and animated films for children. His career spanned many years, creating his first book in 1952 at university and completing his last book, Petruk Jadi Raja, in 2008 at the age of 76.

In addition to books and films, Suyadi is perhaps best known for creating a children's puppet show called “Unyil” The show aired on the Indonesian national station TVRI every Sunday from 1981 - 1993. To this day, the puppets are remembered fondly across Indonesia, especially Pak Raden, the grumpy character played by Suyadi himself. Never seen without his cane and false mustache, Pak Raden was one of the Unyil’s most popular puppets.

Today’s Doodle celebrates Drs. Suyadi on what would be his 84th birthday. Thank you for creating joy and inspiring curiosity in children and adults alike! (Google)

Drs. Suyadi (lahir di Puger, Jember, Jawa Timur, 28 November 1932 – meninggal di Jakarta, 30 Oktober 2015 pada umur 82 tahun) adalah pencipta Si Unyil, sebuah film seri televisi Indonesia. Suyadi menciptakan Si Unyil agar terdapat acara mendidik untuk anak-anak Indonesia pada tahun 1980-an. Kemudian, Unyil diformat ulang untuk sesuai dengan era tahun 2000-an, sehingga tetap dapat digemari anak-anak Indonesia. Hasil dari format ulang acara Si Unyil adalah Laptop Si Unyil. Ia juga dikenal sebagai Pak Raden dalam acara Unyil.

Suyadi merupakan lulusan seni rupa Institut Teknologi Bandung (1952-1960) lalu meneruskan belajar animasi ke Perancis (1961-1963).Suyadi juga pernah didaulat Departemen Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia untuk menjadi ilustrator buku pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia tingkat sekolah dasar.

Suyadi meninggal dunia pada tanggal 30 Oktober 2015 di Rumah Sakit Pelni Petamburan pada pukul 22.20 WIB. Jenazahnya dimakamkan di TPU Jeruk Purut, Jakarta Selatan, Sabtu, 31 Oktober 2015. (Wikipedia)

Android User Can Now Cast A Spell From The Harry Potter World

Now anyone can try their hand at magic with a little help from Google and the new Warner Bros. Pictures film set in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.” Taking place decades before Harry Potter first arrives at Hogwarts, “Fantastic Beasts” follows the adventures of magizoologist Newt Scamander in a whole new era of the wizarding world — New York in 1926.

If you want to try being a wizard, try casting spells on your Android phone: Just say “Ok Google” followed by “Lumos” or “Nox” to turn your flashlight on and off. Try “Silencio” to silence the ringer and notifications.

You can also explore the world of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” with Google Street View. Visit New York in 1926 as brought to life in the film, as well as the real locations today. Fans can visit MACUSA (Magical Congress of the USA); Steen National Bank, where Newt first meets Jacob Kowalski; the underground speakeasy The Blind Pig; and the magical apartment of Tina and Queenie Goldstein, two of the film’s key characters.

The David Bowie Emoji Has Arrived in New iOS Update

A new emoji inspired by the cover of David Bowie's 1973 album Aladdin Sane will appear on Apple's upcoming iOS 10.2 update, according to Emojipedia. The "singer" emoji is among 16 new professions being added to the keyboard and will feature both a man and woman in front of a microphone with a lightning bolt painted across one eye.

As for the Aladin Sane-inspired emoji, the design is among the more unique tributes to Bowie, who died in January after a long battle with cancer he largely kept secret. Just days before his death, Bowie released his final album, Blackstar, though three of his final recordings recently appeared on the cast album for his musical, Lazarus.

Apple Release First iOS 10.2 Beta With New Wallpapers, New Emoji & More

Today Apple released a developer preview of iOS 10.2. The developer preview version of iOS 10.2 arrived just a few hours after the iOS 10.1.1 public release. According to 9to5Mac, the beta of iOS 10.2 revealed several new features that are coming to iOS like three new wallpapers, a new widget for the Videos app, a Preserve Camera setting, a new “Press and Hold to Speak” menu under the Home Button Accessibility settings, a new “Celebration” screen effect for the Messages app, a new “Show Star Ratings” option under the Music app, a new headphone icon in the status bar for Bluetooth audio devices and new Unicode 9.0 emoji.

The Videos widget shows your videos from the camera roll in the Lock Screen. The “Preserve Settings” for the Camera app has several options: you can preserve the last mode such as Video or Square rather than automatically resetting to Photo, preserve the last used filter like Chrome rather than having the photo filter resetting to None, and you can preserve the Live Photo setting rather than automatically resetting to Live Photo turned on. The new “Press and Hold To Speak” feature under the Home Button Accessibility menu lets you select between Siri, Voice Control and Off. And the new “Show Star Ratings” feature under the Music menu lets you access star ratings from the action sheets for songs and the Star ratings do not affect “For You” recommendations.

There's new feature of iOS 10.2 Beta:
