The Case of Omni Hospital vs Prita Mulyasari
I have never before posted a blog entry about this issue simply because I prefer to stay away from serious issues in this blog and there are far better bloggers who are more familiar with the case than I though unfortunately I’ve lost track of them (if you have links to significant ones please post in the comments) but Brett pointed to a recent entry in the development of the case as the mother of two young children was set free.
Rob Baiton highlighted the fact that while it was wrong to have her jailed in the first place, the court that freed her has opened up a legal minefield which if pursued correctly and properly would throw a wrench into nearly every case in which the decision was made based on a pending subsidiary legislation.
I can see how people might misunderstand Rob’s position despite having already said the entire thing was wrong in the first place. The Tangerang district attorney’s office and the district court were clearly wrong in incarcerating her in the first place without proper legal proceedings but the court that freed her used possibly the worst legal basis to let her go and the poor mother would not be free for a while yet.
This has the potential to go the distance.

Long live the King of Pop
One strong and powerful message by the planet’s once most prolific performer. Unfortunately the world lost Michael Jackson long before he passed away today.
“I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and make a change”
I’m still working on it.
Rest in Peace, Moonwalker

75% adoption rate and $65 million in five days
Impressive numbers posted by Tapbots. 75% of iPhone owners have upgraded to 3.0 while just over 50% of iPod touch owners have. Obvious conclusion to draw there given 3.0 costs $9.95 for iPod touch owners and free for iPhone owners.
With at least 13 million iPod touch owners according to Apple’s latest financial report in April, a 50% adoption rate nets Apple a decent $65 million in just 5 days.
On a different note, developers may soon drop support for OS 2.x given the majority of iPhone OS users have switched to 3.0, possibly before the next round of iPod updates. Some may have already

The World According to Twitter
Checked my Twitter direct message inbox today and got a note from David Pogue. Yes, THAT David Pogue. He’s sending me an autographed copy of his next book, The World According to Twitter.
A thousand thanks David. Awesome!
Debate or Quiz show?
The fact that there are presidential and vice presidential debates for Indonesia’s upcoming election is amazing. Each candidate is being made to show what they’re worth, what they stand for, and how far. The problem is there are still clear signs of restraint from many sides and I’m not talking just about the candidates.
The moderator of last night’s VP debate complained that he was being held by the rules of the debate from digging further into where each candidate stand. The whole thing was a joke. The debate did not happen at all, there was no VP debate, there was a Q&A session in which no counterpoint was made. Each candidate only had to answer the moderator’s question, nothing more. No effort was made to argue a point made by other candidates.
What’s funny was the aftermath. In the post Q&A session, both MetroTV and TV One held separate response sessions with representatives of each candidate. This was where the debate happened. Each rep defended to the death what their respective man was saying earlier. Nobody wanted to concede despite their candidates clearly diverting the questions on several occasions. It was more interesting watching the post-“debate” debate that the “debate” itself.
Sigh

Posterous interface changes
I noticed this a few days ago but hadn’t managed to blog about it. I don’t remember there was an announcement by Posterous on blog or on Twitter. I think this is a really nice change and makes things seem much neater. Nice work guys.
