The Icon Is Back: Nokia Launch The New 3310 Model



Nokia has re-released its classic 3310 model 17 years after it was first launched. The iconic handset was a massive hit with users back in 2000 and now the mobile phone giant is relaunching it with a month-long battery, 22 hours of talk-time, and even its popular game, snake. The 3310, with a slick new look that pays homage to its original design, was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain.  The Nokia 3310 is available in four distinctive colours – Warm Red and Yellow, both with a gloss finish, and Dark Blue and Grey both with a matte finish. The Nokia 3310 will retail at an average global retail price of €49.


The Design:
The new Nokia 3310 takes the iconic silhouette of the original and reimagines it for 2017. The custom designed user interface brings a fresh look to a classic, whilst the 2.4” polarized and curved screen window makes for better readability in sunlight.



Boundless Battery:
Remember when you could leave the house without a charger? Well, with the new Nokia 3310, you can. It comes with a long-lasting battery, so you can talk all day2, or leave the phone on standby for up to a month3. When needed, a Micro-USB port makes charging simple.



Play Games:
Play the legendary Snake. It’s back with a little update that makes it even more fun to play on the color screen. Do you still remember your high score? Think you can beat it?



Color:
Nokia 3310 is made to fit your style. It comes in four distinct colors: Warm Red and Yellow, both with a gloss finish, and Dark Blue and Grey both with a matte finish. What’s best, the color runs through the material, so it looks better for longer.



Outside Details:
- Beautiful push buttons and iconic, shaped design

Google Doodle Today to Celebrate 25th Anniversary of Ujung Kulon Park



Google Doodle: February 26, 2017 
Edition: 25th Anniversary of Ujung Kulon Park

There are only about 50 Javan rhinos left in the world, and today, we honor their home: Ujung Kulon, a wildlife refuge at the westernmost tip of Java. Twenty-five years ago, it was named one of Indonesia’s national parks. Spanning 475 square miles, the lush peninsula and neighboring islands are home to a number of other endangered species, too, including the banteng (wild cattle) and the Javan leopard.

Although the park is just a few decades old, some of the land has been protected for nearly a century. In 1883, the eruption of the nearby Krakatoa volcano left the area covered in ash, wiping out wildlife and forcing all humans to evacuate. The people never returned, but eventually, the plants and animals did. Once the jungle was thriving again, the land was declared a nature reserve in 1921. Now, the park boasts Java’s largest remaining lowland forest, as well as pristine sandy beaches and coral reefs. 

Showing a one-horned rhino splashing with its calf, today’s Doodle pays tribute to the natural beauty and preservation of this important national park.

Pangolins are the world’s only scaly mammal. The eight species of pangolin that roam the wilds of Asia and Africa are strong swimmers who rely on their long tongues and heightened sense of smell to find nourishment. 

 Sadly however, pangolins are the most trafficked mammal in the world, and all 8 species face a significant threat from poachers and smugglers.

Google Doodle Today To Celebrate Pramoedya Ananta Toer's 92nd Birthday



hari ini google indonesia merayakan 92 tahun kelahiran sastrawan indonesia "pramoedya ananta toer" yang lahir di blora jawa tengah 6 februari 1925. sastrawan kontroversial yang pernah mendapatkan penghargaan "ramon magsaysay award" di tahun 1995 ini pernah juga merasakan dinginnya penjara di masa kolonial selama 3 tahun, di masa orde lama selama 1 tahun dan terakhir selama orde baru sebagai tahanan politik selama14 tahun.

karya-karya "pramoedya ananta toer" yang ternama antara lain tetralogi dengan 4 judul novel "bumi manusia", "anak semua bangsa", "jejak langkah", dan "rumah kaca" dibuat saat diasingkan di pulau buru yang kala itu tidak diberi akses mendapatkan pena, kertas atau bahkan mesin ketik.

"pramoedya ananta toer" hari ini menghiasi halaman utama google di indonesia dengan gambar animasi beliau sedang menulis naskah menggunakan mesin ketik manual serta latar belakang papan ketik bertuliskan "google".

mungkin dengan alasan "pramoedya ananta toer" secara luas dianggap sebagai salah satu pengarang yang produktif dalam sejarah sastra Indonesia serta telah menghasilkan lebih dari 50 karya dan diterjemahkan ke dalam lebih dari 41 bahasa asing yang menjadikan beliau menghiasi halaman google indonesia.


Google Doodles Notes:

It might be said that Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s pen was his sword. Known as ‘Pramoedya’ or “Pram,’ this Indonesian writer was a proponent of human rights and freedom of expression who fought against Japanese and Dutch colonialism in his country. 

Born on February 6, 1925, in a village called Blora on Java, Pram was exposed to political activism through his father, and came to journalism while working as a stenographer for a Japanese news agency. Incarcerated from 1947–1949 for being “anti-colonial,” he wrote his first novel,The Fugitive behind bars. 

His novels throughout the 1950s continued to hold a mirror up to the impact of colonialism. Following a coup and suspected of ties to the Indonesian communist party, Pram was sent to the Indonesian island of Buru in 1969 where he spent over a decade as a political prisoner. When refused pen and paper, Pram turned to oral storytelling, sharing a story with his fellow prisoners about a Javanese boy named Minke who spurns Indonesia’s hierarchical society in the last years of Dutch colonization. Granted a typewriter towards the end of his term, he brought Minke’s tale to life through the four-volume Buru Quartet, his most well-known work. In fact, the books were smuggled out of Indonesia by Pram's friend, a German priest, to avoid being taken or destroyed, and have now been translated into more than 20 languages worldwide. 

Today’s Doodle celebrates Pram’s birthday with an animation of the industrious novelist seated at his typewriter, hard at work.
