Ducati Superbike 1199 ver 2012 First Shots

 

In this new age of motorcycle marketing, it’s clear that Italian magazine Motociclismo has been given Bologna’s blessing as its favored child of motorcycle media. Accordingly, the publication has been at the forefront of information and photos of the new 2012 Ducati Superbike 1199, and just recently teased this photo of the Ducati Superbike 1199′s headlight, which we know to be the first LED headlight to come on a production motorcycle.

Obviously having some time with the new Superbike 1199 (or at least having one very gracious friend in the Ducati factory), Motociclismo has a bevy of detail shots of the 1199 (we refuse to buy into the Xtreme naming rumors and hype). In the photos, we not only get a better glimpse at the LED headlights, but also the enlarged gilled air intake that surrounds the headlight unit. Also readily seen is the horizontally mounted rear shock, and near it is what Motociclismo is saying is the plastic-guarded collector pipe for the underslung exhaust, however our sources tell us it connects to a second exhaust which exits out the rear of the tail section, as seen on the Ducati Desmosedici GP12.

Surprisingly the photos give away very little technically about the new Ducati Superbike 1199, which perhaps lends to even more credence that this is a controlled leak by Ducati (more on this in future article). Noticeably absent from the photos is a view of the tail section, stressed-airbox frame structure, and the swingarm and wheels. It’s expected that the 1199 will come with Ducati’s traction control (DTC), data acquisition (DDA), and anti-lock brakes (ABS). We wouldn’t be surprised if the electronics package was also a more advanced version of what’s currently on the 1198, and rivaled what we’ve seen on other superbikes like the Aprilia RSV4 and Kawasaki ZX-10R.

With this “leak” now sprung, it’ll be interesting to see how Ducati continues its hype of the 2012 Ducati Superbike 1199, though the company did a pretty good job of keeping the buzz going on the Multistrada 1200 and Diavel, though multiple photos gave away those bikes’ forms well ahead of their EICMA leak. If you see something we’ve missed, shout it out in the comments section.

 Well..just wait it launch..

INDONESIA CAN LEARN FOOTBALL FROM NETHERLANDS

Jakarta - Albertus Pentury PSSI as an instructor trainer appointed to Indonesia, with a specificity of coaching a young age. According to Bert, his familliar name, Indonesia can still be accomplished without having to rely on high posture.

Monday (10/03/11), at the office of PSSI, Senayan, Jakarta, PSSI Executive Committee introduced Bob Hippy, Dutch who's also Medan Maluku born, as an instructor trainer for coaching young players in Indonesia.

Bert, who is an instructor KNVB (Dutch Football Organization), pretty much pocketed information about the development of football in Indonesia, and compare it with the system in the Netherlands.

"The principle at the KNVB, the proper way to learn to play soccer is to play football. So if you want to learn football, there should be a ball, "said Bert, who pocketed the issue of the UEFA Pro coaching license this.

"That is, to train young players there must be a pattern. Technique is very important and should be with the ball so that the children soon get used to, "he continued.

Pentury later revealed that in terms of potential, Indonesia is no less than domestic residents FIFA world ranking second. The only difference is the coaching system. According to him, in the Dutch coaching methods suitable for application in Indonesia.

Apple unveils new iPhone 4S model, but iPhone 5 a no-show ?

 Apple unveils new iPhone 4S model, but iPhone 5 a no-show ?

Well there was no grand unveiling of the iPhone 5, but Apple has instead revealed another model - the iPhone 4S, complete with a built-in 'personal assistant' that responds to voice commands.
Claimed to be twice as fast as the previous iPhone 4, the new model will use the same speedy A5 processor as the iPad 2. And though the 4S does look the same as its predecessor, Apple chiefs say it has been completely rebuilt on the inside.
The iPhone 4S will go on sale on 14 October and will be available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models - in both black and white.

There was disappointment in the air as Apple boss Tim Cook made the announcement in San Francisco at the company's Cupertino HQ, in his first landmark unveiling since taking over from Steve Jobs, who stepped down due to illness.

He said: "Only Apple can make such amazing software, hardware and services and bring them together into such a powerful yet integrated experience."
But investors and fans failed to be completely persuaded by this latest step-up model, evidenced by Apple shares dropping more than four per cent on Wall Street within a couple of hours.

The iPhone 4S device may be seen as a stop gap between the iPhone 4 and forthcoming iPhone 5, which is now expected to launch in the summer of 2012.

Devoted Apple fans now face the conundrum on whether it has enough new features to justify upgrading.

Battery life on the 4S has been given a fairly big bump, with the 4S getting eight hours of 3G talktime or nine hours of use via Wi-Fi.

Also upgraded is the phone's camera, going up to an eight megapixel sensor that's 30 per cent sharper and has 3264x2448 resolution.

In a bid to match traditional point and shoot snappers, Apple has added the ability to detect up to 10 faces in any photo and given owners the ability to take a picture within 1.1 seconds with just half a second between shots.

The iPhone 4S will also feature Apple's latest iOS 5 operating system with up to 200 new software features and iCloud, which allows them to backup all their content and share it between an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and a Mac computer.

Part of the new model is what Apple is plugging as an intelligent voice recognition system known as Siri. Described as a personal assistant, it can apparently understand the meaning behind words to bring up information such as the weather or the latest news.

It will also search for answers to questions over the internet and reply with answers, a feature which was demoed live by asking for the time in Paris.

Other features shown off with Siri include automatically setting a wake-up alarm by telling it what time you want to get up.

Siri can also be used to read messages such as texts or emails that are received while you're using a hands-free headset, for example while you're driving.
The iPhone 4S will be available in the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and Britain on 14 October with pre-orders starting a week prior.
Prices in the US will start at $199 (£128) for a 16 gigabyte model and finish at $399 (£257) for one with 64 gigabytes of memory.

What's your opinion? Ready get it to your pocket?? You may try for.
