David Samuel, Dody Dharma, Dominikus Damas Putranto, and Samuel Simon are the "Big Bang" team members from Institute Teknologi Bandung (ITB) who represented Indonesia at the Imagine Cup 2009 held in Cairo, Egypt. This worldwide annual competition is sponsored by Microsoft Corp. in search of creative technological solutions to address the world's toughest challenges. The "Big Bang" team won Mobile Device Award for their software application MOSES (Malaria Observation System and Endemic Surveillance). 

MOSES combines client runtime technology with PDA application to iniatiate diagnostic analysis for patients in remote areas who may suffer from malaria. MOSES is equipped with voice recognition technology and PDAscope - a modified microscope made from available PDA camera - to assist health-care workers in getting blood samples and in providing malaria related services. 3G technology is the backbone infrastructure for MOSES and its application will become more efficient as Indonesia's Telecommunications providers increase their service coverage areas.

Enough cooking, let’s start browsing

Wok Antenna, or e-Goen Wajanbolic is the latest device in sharing wireless internet connection within an area/ neighborhood. e-Goen Wajanbolic antenna was developed by Mr. Gunadi (Pak Gun) or better known as e-Goen, a graduate from STEMBAYO Jogyakarta. From 2005 to early 2006, Mr. e-Goen inspires people to develop antenna made out of woks in Indonesia. e-Goen Wajanbolic provides new opportunities for those who want to build cheaper home-made wireless Internet connection sharing device, costing about 300000-350000 IDR (around 40 USD). To increase the range of wireless LAN requires an external antenna with higher frequency gain than the standard antenna. The price of high gain external antenna is relatively expensive but many household items can be used to create the high Gain Antenna easily at a relatively low cost. On the contrary to what majority of people may think, using wajanbolic does not mean stealing bandwidth for free internet. The internet itself has become more affordable due to the increasing number of users in an area/ neighborhood.

Safe Internet Content

To minimize traffic towards unfavorable sites on the Internet, PT Mobile-8 introduces a new product called Mobi. By using Mobi modem, user can not access pornographic sites. In fact, with this modem users also cannot access any web sites containing ethical violations, gambling, racial intolerance, violence including sexual harassment.

Mobi was launched due to the aggressive nature of Internet content development in Indonesia which had produced negative impacts. Approximately 28,258 Internet users view pornography every second. In addition, keywords using the word 'sex' is also the keywords most searched on the internet. There are an estimated 372 million pornographic web pages can be accessed easily by Internet users from all ages.
