Hello fellow readers. I am here yet again for my weekly post along with my IC members.
I did my research and i found an article on the Malay Mail website. It says "Selangor Mulling New Cyber Cafes Law. This article was posted in June last year means in 2009. State executive councillor for Local Government, Research and Study Ronnie Liu Tian Khiew was arguing about childrens and teenagers who are loitering at cyber cafes until after midnight.
He advised the local councils to strictly enforced guidelines on cyber cafes in Selangor which is that children under the age of 12 should not be allowed into cyber cafes when night falls. He said that they have to step up enforcement to solve the problem of having under age children staying up untill 10pm at cyber cafes.
He also reminded the cyber cafes owners that their licenses can be revoked if they fail in following the regulations. Liu added that it is the local councils duty to ensure that all cyber cafes follow the guidelines.
The Malay Mail contacted the Petaling Jaya Council deputy president Puasa Md Taib and he said that they are making an effort to ensure that cyber cafes are to operate untill 1am only. That is however is a hard task because out of 300 cyber cafes, only 37 have their business licences. Puasa also mentioned that the problem of the teenagers loitering does not fall under their juridiction, it is the responsibility of the Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor or the Welfare Service Department.
One reader read the article and commented that it is better for the teenagers to be playing computer games rather than lepakking outside with all the 'mat rempits' and gangsters. And he/she also commented that for some working adults and students, cyber cafe is a "healthy and safe recreational place". This reader added that if they wanted to limit the cyber cafe operation hours to 1am, then why not do the same to the 24 hours convenient store to stop the teenagers from buying alcohol.
In my opinion, this reader is right in a way, i mean it better to be killing zombies and monsters in game rather than killing yourself in gangfights, illegal races and such nonsense right or not people? What do you think? Any opinion just put comment on my post okay?
THANK YOU and SEE YOU AGAIN

Tips to protect your privacy
Link to us:http://sn.im/v029v
Well, as you always go to the internet café to play game or surfing the internet, you should know some precaution to protect your own privacy. There are two types of risks that you will encounter if you did not pay attention to it. First, internet café is a public computer for you to use, you will not know what software has already installed in it, and so it was dangerous that may be there are some software that can spy or install your passwords. Examples of the software are key loggers and spyware and others. Second which is people around you also can peeping and figure out your passwords.
Here are some tips to protect your own privacy.

1. Always log out : Whenever you want to leave your computer or finish using it, you better log out your all the websites that consists of your username and password. Websites such as bank account websites, check mail, instant messaging and others. If you just simply close the browser or restart the computer is not enough because if someone using the same websites or services after you, they might be able to trace your account and access it. Moreover, do not save your login information that allow automatic login. That will easier to let other users to access your account, so you should disable the option before you log in your account.

2. Staying with the computer : As I stated earlier in the first tip, do not leave your computer and if you want to away the computer in a period of time, you should log out all the websites that you have sign in and also close it. So that other users will not know what websites you are using and it can keep yourself safe from hacking.

3. Clear history and temporary files : The browsers such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and others all will save the pages you have visited in the History folder or in Temporary Internet Files. Because of that, your password will also might be store in the browser if the option is enabled to save the username and passwords. Therefore, before you use the computer, you should go check the setting and delete all the history after you have done using the computer.

4. Avoid online financial transactions : You must avoid use online financial transaction in the public computer such as internet café. Instead you should find a safer place such home or friend’s house to do that. Examples for using online financial transaction are online banking, online shopping and other transactions that require you to enter the sensitive information like credit card or bank account details then you should not do in the public places. You will never know how the people will track your privacy.

LAN or WAN?
Link to us : http://sn.im/u6g42
Hi readers...here we are again. My friend Mr Ducky talked of disadvantages of going to the internet cafe.
Do you know what is Local Area Network(LAN) and Wide Area Network(WAN)?? I believe i do because i am learning about it in my class...hahaha
Okay...Local Area Network used for a small geographical area like our own Internet Cafe. LAN is computers and devices that share the same line or wireless link. This LAN can serve a few like two or three computers for example a home network or serve hundreds of computers like an internet cafe. However,internet cafes uses mainframes,high-performance computers to handle the server so do not compare the home network with the one the internet cafes use.
WAN is not like LAN as WAN covers a larger geographical area like province,state or country and this WAN often connects smaller networks like LAN for example. I got one question for you people.
Do you think the internet cafe you always visit to uses a wired LAN or wireless LAN? I believe every single internet cafe out there operating is using the wireless LAN because wireless LAN is cheaper to install and easier to maintain rather than the wired LAN.

Disadvantages of Internet Cafe
Link to us: http://snipr.com/u6fvf
When there are advantages, there are also disadvantages, same goes for everything. Nowadays, high school students are absenting school classes to go to the internet cafe to play online games, this will result in the student failing their exams and have terrible result. Plus, parents will blame the school for not teaching the student well enough.
Besides that, this can also cause the student to spend and not knowing how to save their money because all the money is being used for playing games in the internet cafe and even at young age they are facing money problem. Even worst, many students can easily get access to pornography websites and downloading it through the internet. This small issue can cause big problems which are many teenagers now having sex and young girls getting pregnant and other horrible things happened. This will increase the number of rape cases in the future.
Moreover, privacy also can get corrupted due to the internet cafe. Online money transactions are growing in day by day, this causing people who type the account number and password in the computer which can be traced by other users on the same computer. When they have access to other people's account, they can deposit money to other accounts and this is a crime. A person who committed this crime cannot be caught because the internet cafe is a public place for everyone and alot of people using the same computers everyday.

Advantages of Internet Cafe
Link to us: http://snipurl.com/u54py
Hi it's David and yesterday I just came back from Hong Kong. It was a fun trip. Haha...
I have did some research on advantages of Internet Cafe. There are a lot of advantages of internet café. Internet café’s are located world wide and easily found, so people who are overseas or far away from their homes can easily get access to their webmail or instant messaging services to keep in touch with work, families or even with their friends. Apart from that, people can afford this service as they charges a customer per hours of usage and this is a benefit for any individual that cannot afford to buy their own computers or people without portable notebook which are very expensive these days. Even people with notebook cannot complete their work without the usage of internet and there are not many wireless ‘hot-spots’ where they can get access to nowadays, and this is what internet cafés solved.
In this modern life,people gather and seek informations by surfing through the internet and as internet cafes pretty much everywhere,so people visit internet cafes rather than travel to the library because it is much easier and faster and most of the information are on the internet. The internet café is not only for working but also pleasure. Now with the internet station connected to LAN, people can interact with other users that ar connected to the LAN. This service provided is custom for game play where it supports multiplayer games, which gamers can play the same game with other gamers around Asia such as China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and many more. This is where video arcades and arcades game are no longer needed, many of which are being closed down due to internet cafe.

What's up people and how you all feeling? good or no good? Anyway, you're here so i'm gonna pick up for Jason where he had left out yesterday so for you people that returned, i personally thank you for revisiting.
Okay...so Jason posted a little bit on Internet Cafe and im gonna continue it. Why do us people, teenagers and young working adults are the ones that are most seen in these Internet Cafes? I mean young adults are working so why do they visit the cafes? Cannot afford the internet? Or cannot afford even a computer? Yeah yeah yeah....too many question marks here so i'm gonna tell why.
Time changed and we are in the cyber era so internet is a basic necessity now unfortunately not everyone can afford it. Like Jason said, last time these cafes are visited for studying purposes only. However now, these cafes are visited for entertainment purposes. Last time they use to open Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel,Microsoft Powerpoint and other softwares but now are online gaming, Youtube, Facebook and a whole lot other things that uses internet.
I'm a teenager or maybe a young adult so i know why people visit the cafe. I play games and that's the only reason i ever want to visit an Internet Cafe because you see, my laptop cannot withstand all these online games right so why not pay two bucks an hour to play Left4dead or Dragonica or the famous Dota. Besides, you go and play with your friends so that makes it more fun unless you're a loner that got no friends.
It is okay when you go to the Internet Cafe sometimes to play games but when it had become your second home,then you know you gotta stop. Don't be surprise because there are people like this and hopefully it's not you. If you are like this where the cafe is in fact your second home, please think of your love ones.
I think this is where i stop and go play some games, joking only people but yeah im ending my post so a big thank you to you all that read it till the end, hahaha.....Arigato and please come again

Our blog which is this blog will solely talks about Internet Cafe so yeah...try and enjoy your journey through this forest of words ~~~ ^.^
Internet Cafe. Judging by its name, it is obviously main for internet used. Though its a cafe, it is not a place to dine in or call in food delivery. These cafes around the world provides people the service of using an internet. Why do people go to Internet Cafe's? some people are studying away from home, or either staying in hostels, they would visit Internet Cafe by group or individual depending on their purposes.
In old time lots of people do not owns their own internet services, hence, these encourage them to visit the Internet Cafe.
