Due to rapidly growing demand in notebooks this year, Western Digital (WD), Seagate, Hitachi, Toshiba and Samsung Electronics also increased production HDD 2.5 "him for notebooks.

But none of these producers who estimates that the desktop market will also rise rapidly. WD and Seagate is currently the two main suppliers of HDD 3.5 ". Together, they control more than 80 percent market share. And because both are busy focusing on the notebook, they do not increase production of its hard drive for desktop.

Analysts now predict that there will be scarcity of desktop hard disk drives in mid-2010. Of course, this deficiency will cause prices to rise.

computer hierarchy

Old method for comparing various computer classes are based on processing power. Analysts typically divide the computer into six categories: supercomputers, mainframes, midrange computers (mini computers and servers), workstations, notebooks, and PCs and various equipment.


Supercomputer

 The term does not refer to the supercomputer particular technology, but on the fastest computing machines are available in a period. Supercomputers usually handle the job very complicated for a series of very large data. Rather than just for processing and business applications, supercomputers typically run military and scientific applications, although its use for commercial applications, such as data mining, has increased. General supercomputer operates four to ten times faster than the next fastest computer classes.


Mainframe Computers

Although mainframe computers more and more regarded as another type of server, based on the sophistication scale performance and reliability, the mainframe remains a distinct class of system hardware and software features. Mainframe still popular in many large companies to komputansi broad applications and are accessed by thousands of users. Examples of mainframe applications include airfare reservation systems, payroll companies, and the calculation and reporting of student values.


Midrange Computers

Minicomputer also called, are relatively inexpensive, small, and compact, which perform the same function with mainframe computers, but in a more limited scope. Even the line between mini-computers to mainframes becomes less clear in terms of cost and performance. Minicomputer usually supports computer networks, allowing its users to share files, software, peripherals, and various other network resources. Minicomputer can provide flexibility for companies who do not want to spend money on IT in the form of mainframes that are less measurable.

Midrange Computer smaller is called the server. Servers are typically used to support the network, allowing users to share files, Software and other network equipment. Companies that have a great need for e-commerce website and have a very large often run the web and various e-commerce applications through several servers.


Workstation

The vendor computer workstations initially developed to provide a high level of performance required by the technicians. Thus, a workstation running the application of scientific, technical, financial and quite complicated. Workstations are usually based on RISC architecture (reduced instruction set computing) and provides high-speed calculations and high resolution graphics display. Computer is getting wide acceptance in the scientific community and recently in the business community.


PC

Pc became the dominant method to access workgroup applications. This computer is a system of ordinary microcomputers and general and that has become a standard tool for businesses, and more and more also for home. Computer is usually designed modular, with separate but connected monitor, keyboard and CPU.


Notebook

Microcomputers, notebooks are small, portable, and lightweight. Computer is designed for maximum comfort and convenience to carry, allowing access to processing power and data outside the office environment. It costs more than desktop for the same functionality.

panda antivirus for netbooks


Netbook / mini laptop is mostly using the atom processor lately very popular in many circles due to smaller and lighter than ordinary laptops and a cheaper price.
Performance of the Atom itself is more limited compared to other processors. Therefore, regular antivirus would be more burdensome than the performance of your netbook. Panda provides a solution to remove Panda Antivirus for Netbooks, which are created using the latest ultraportable technology very mild and does not burden the netbook performance.

Antara Adat Dan Ibadah

 
Ini adalah sub kajian yang sangat penting yang membantah anggapan orang yang dangkal akal dan ilmunya, jika bid’ah atau ibadah yang mereka buat diingkari dan dikritik, sedang mereka mengira melakukan kebaikan, maka mereka menjawab : “Demikian ini bid’ah ! Kalau begitu, mobil bid’ah, listrik bid’ah, dan jam bid’ah!”

Sebagian orang yang memperoleh sedikit  dari ilmu fiqih terkadang merasa lebih pandai daripada ulama Ahli Sunnah dan orang-orang yang mengikuti As-Sunnah dengan mengatakan kepada mereka sebagai pengingkaran atas teguran mereka yang mengatakan bahwa amal yang baru yang dia lakukan itu bid’ah seraya dia menyatakan bahwa “asal segala sesuatu adalah diperbolehkan”.

Ungkapan seperti itu tidak keluar dari mereka melainkan karena kebodohannya tentang kaidah pembedaan antara adat dan ibadah. Sesungguhnya kaidah terseubut berkisar pada dua hadits.

Pertama  : Sabda Nabi صلی الله عليه وسلم.

“Artinya : Barangsiapa melakukan hal yang baru dalam urusan (agama) kami ini yang tidak ada di dalamnya, maka amal itu tertolak”.

Hadits ini telah disebutkan takhrij dan syarahnya secara panjang lebar.

Kedua : Sabda Nabi صلی الله عليه وسلم dalam peristiwa penyilangan serbuk sari kurma yang sangat masyhur.

“Artinya : Kamu lebih mengetahui tentang berbagai urusan duniamu”

Hadits ini terdapat dalam Shahih Muslim (1366) dimasukkan ke dalam bab dengan judul : “Bab Wajib Mengikuti Perkataan Nabi صلی الله عليه وسلم Dalam Masalah Syari’at Dan Yang Disebutkan Nabi صلی الله عليه وسلم Tentang Kehidupan Dunia Berdasarkan Pendapat”, dan ini merupakan penyusunan bab yang sangat cermat

Atas dasar ini maka sesungguhnya penghalalan dan pengharaman, penentuan syari’at, bentuk-bentuk ibadah dan penjelasan jumlah, cara dan waktu-waktunya, serta meletakkan kaidah-kaidah umum dalam muamalah adalah hanya hak Allah dan Rasul-Nya dan tidak ada hak bagi ulil amri [1] di dalamnya. Sedangkan kita dan mereka dalam hal tersebut adalah sama. Maka kita tidak boleh merujuk kepada mereka jika terjadi perselisihan. Tetapi kita harus mengembalikan semua itu kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya.

Adapun tentang  bentuk-bentuk urusan dunia maka mereka lebih mengetahui daripada kita. Seperti para ahli pertanian lebih mengetahui tentang apa yang lebih maslahat dalam mengembangkan pertanian. Maka jika mereka mengeluarkan keputusan yang berkaitan dengan pertanian, umat wajib mentaatinya dalam hal tersebut. Para ahli perdagangan ditaati dalam hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan urusan perdagangan.

Sesungguhnya mengembalikan sesuatu kepada orang-orang yang berwenang dalam kemaslahatan umum adalah seperti merujuk kepada dokter dalam mengetahui makanan yang berbahaya untuk dihindari dan yang bermanfaat darinya untuk dijadikan santapan. Ini tidak berarti bahwa dokter adalah yang menghalalkan makanan yang manfaat atau mengharamkan makanan yang mudharat. Tetapi sesungguhnya dokter hanya sebatas sebagai pembimbing sedang yang menghalalkan dan mengharamkan adalah yang menentukan syari’at (Allah dan Rsul-Nya), firmanNya.

“Artinya : Dan menghalalkan bagi mereka segala hal yang baik dan mengharamkan bagi mereka segala hal yang buruk” [Al-Araf : 157] [2].

Dengan demikian anda mengetahui bahwa setiap bid’ah dalam agama adalah sesat dan tertolak. Adapun bid’ah dalam masalah dunia maka tiada larangan di dalamnya selama tidak bertentangan dengan landasan yang telah ditetapkan dalam agama [3]. Jadi, Allah membolehkan anda membuat apa yang anda mau dalam urusan dunia dan cara berproduksi yang anda mau. Tetapi anda harus memperhatikan kaidah keadilan dan menangkal bentuk-bentuk mafsadah serta mendatangkan bentuk-bentuk maslahat.” [4]

Adapun kaidah dalam hal ini menurut ulama sebagaimana dikatakan Ibnu Taimiyah [5] adalah : “Sesungguhnya amal-amal manusia terbagi kepada : Pertama, ibadah yang mereka jadikan sebagai agama, yang bermanfaat bagi mereka di akhirat atau bermanfaat di dunia dan akhirat. Kedua, adat yang bermanfaat dalam kehidupan mereka. Adapun kaidah dalam hukum adalah asal dalam bentuk-bentuk ibadah tidak disyari’atkan kecuali apa yang telah disyariatkan Allah. Sedangkan hukum asal dalam adat [6] adalah tidak dilarang kecuali apa yang dilarang Allah”.

Dari keterangan diatas tampak dengan jelas bahwa tidak ada bid’ah dalam masalah adat, produksi dan segala sarana kehidupan umum”.

Hal tersebut sebagaimana dikatakan oleh Syaikh Mahmud Syaltut dalam kitabnya yang sangat bagus, Al-Bid’ah Asabbuha wa Madharruha (hal. 12 –dengan tahqiq saya), dan saya telah mengomentarinya sebagai berikut, “Hal-hal tersebut tiada kaitannya dengan hakikat ibadah. Tetapi hal tersebut harus diperhatikan dari sisi dasarnya, apakah dia bertentangan dengan hukum-hukum syari’at ataukah masuk di dalamnya”.

Di sini terdapat keterangan yang sangat cermat yang diisyaratkan oleh Imam Syathibi dalam kajian yang panjang dalam Al-I’tisham (II/73-98) yang pada bagian akhirnya disebutkan, “Sesungguhnya hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan adat jika dilihat dari sisi adatnya, maka tidak ada bid’ah di dalamnya. Tetapi jika adat dijadikan sebagai ibadah atau diletakkan pada tempat ibadah maka ia menjadi bid’ah”.

Dengan demikian maka “tidak setiap yang belum ada pada masa Nabi صلی الله عليه وسلم dan juga belum ada pada masa Khulafa Rasyidin dinamakan bid’ah. Sebab setiap ilmu yang baru dan bermanfaat bagi manusia wajib dipelajari oleh sebagian kaum muslimin agar menjadi kekuatan mereka dan dapat meningkatkan eksistensi umat Islam.

Sesungguhnya bid’ah adalah sesuatu yang baru dibuat oleh manusia dalam bentuk-bentuk ibadah saja. Sedangkan yang bukan dalam masalah ibadah dan tidak bertentangan dengan kaidah-kaidah syari’at maka bukan bid’ah sama sekali” [7]

Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyah dalam Al-Qawa’id An-Nuraniyah Al-Fiqhiyah (hal. 22) berkata, “ Adapun adat adalah sesuatu yang bisa dilakukan manusia dalam urusan dunia yang berkaitan dengan kebutuhan mereka, dan hukum asal pada masalah tersebut adalah tidak terlarang. Maka tidak boleh ada yang dilarang kecuali apa yang dilarang Allah. Karena sesungguhnya memerintah dan melarang adalah hak prerogratif Allah. Maka ibadah harus berdasarkan perintah. Lalu bagaimana sesuatu yang tidak diperintahkan di hukumi sebagai hal yang dilarang?

Oleh karena itu, Imam Ahmad dan ulama fiqh ahli hadits lainnya mengatakan, bahwa hukum asal dalam ibadah adalah tauqifi (berdasarkan dalil). Maka, ibadah tidak disyariatkan kecuali dengan ketentuan Allah, sedang jika tidak ada ketentuan dari-Nya maka pelakunya termasuk orang dalam firman Allah.

“Artinya : Apakah mereka mempunyai para sekutu yang mensyari’atkan untuk mereka agama  yang tidak dizinkan Allah?” [Asy-Syuraa : 21]

Sedangkan hukum asal dalam masalah adat adalah dimaafkan (boleh). Maka, tidak boleh dilarang kecuali yang diharamkan Allah.

“Artinya : Katakanlah. Terangkanlah kepadaku tentang rezki yang diturunkan Allah kepadamu, lalu kamu jadikan sebagiannya haram dan (sebagiannya) halal. ‘Katakanlah, ‘Apakah Allah telah memberikan izin kepadamu (tentang ini) ataukah kamu mengada-adakan saja terhadap Allah?” [Yunus : 59]

Ini adalah kaidah besar yang sangat berguna. [8]

Yusuf Al-Qaradhawi dalam Al-Halal wal Haram fil Islam (hal.21)berkata, “Adapun adat dan muamalah, maka bukan Allah pencetusnya, tetapi manusialah yang mencetuskan dan berinteraksi dengannya, sedang Allah datang membetulkan, meluruskan dan membina serta menetapkannya pada suatu waktu dalam hal-hal yang tidak mendung mafsadat dan mudharat”.

Dengan mengetahui kaidah ini [9], maka akan tampak cara menetapkan hukum-hukum terhadap berbagai kejadian baru, sehingga tidak akan berbaur antara adat dan ibadah dan tidak ada kesamaran bid’ah dengan penemuan-penemuan baru pada masa sekarang. Dimana masing-masing mempunyai bentuk sendiri-sendiri dan masing-masing ada hukumnya secara mandiri.
