• Many factors need to be taken into account for this kind of purchase.
• I have to look into every module I’m doing and see if one module needs something extra that the others don’t. Such as Multimedia as we use illustrator and Photoshop in classes so what would I need on a normal computer to keep the resolution the same quality?
Here are some things that I think are very important in a laptop for this course and why;
Good memory space at least an 80GB hard drive and preferably at least 2GB of RAM, but a minimum of 1GB of RAM. I will need this because we will have a lot of assignments and presentation to do as well as keeping all the lectures from blackboard on our computers. So memory is one of the most important things when considering buying a laptop for this course.
Good Security such as antivirus ones because we use the internet and are taking things from website and opening all kinds of website we need some good reliable security so as not to lose any of our saved work and so we don’t have to pay a ton to get the virus out of our computer system.
Wireless Internet a setting that lets the laptop use wireless networks is very important as if we need to work away from home or even in college where there is a wireless network available. If you were away for a weekend or something and needed to do a certain assignment you’d need wireless to do the work and keep updated on any changes with the assignment or whatever. I also wouldn’t be able to do online journals for a certain module of mine or be able to get the lectures from the website with it.
The latest Windows Office/Word/Processor/Excel/PowerPoint programs to get the most out of your work as when they update the programs they can make a single presentation or essay look very professional and neat. I need these programs for all my modules and also if I didn’t update my programs I wouldn’t be able to read or access the lectures from sideshow bob because I would have an insignificant programs.
The Latest Photo Editors + Photo Galleries because of Multimedia I need the latest photo editors software to keep up the quality of my Photoshop/Illustrator images and also but slightly edit them if need without having to buy the expensive programs we use in the college itself. I would also need a good photo gallery to keep all my images In easy safe storage that I can find what I’m looking for quickly and being able to separate my personal photos from college ones.

Areas of Technology I'm Interested In
http://www.dialaphone.co.uk/blog/2007/01/05/top-10-most-expensive-mobile-phones-in-the-world/
^^^^This Article is about the worlds most expensive phones, I didn't even know these phones existed! It's amazing how much a phone has be become more of an accessory over the years. Most of the phones are made from solid gold, made by car companies, or have diamonds, it's really over the top because some of them look like you can barely use them and with the solid gold one good luck to you trying to carry that in your pocket. I found this article interesting as even i will only go for a nice looking phone rather than practicle, maybe it's just this generation but i know it'll continue for many more because they keep getting better, more stylish and just have more things to do with them such as better games, proper cameras etc.
This other article was interesting but not as interesting as the other one, this article is about social networking sites and 10 best ones;

Robert Pattinson- His Music not his 'Acting'
Well if you don't recgonise the name he's the sparkley guy from Twilight! Now this man is an ok actor but where his true talent lies is in his music!
He writes lyrics, sings and plays guitar and piano. His voice is so raw and thats what makes it so good because it hasn't been ruined by recording studios as he has never recorded his songs but a few friends have on a phone or tape recorder. His lyrics are very personal but not moany which is always a great thing for an artist to be able to portray.
Sadly, because of the phonomen of Twilight he will never be able to have a album or even release a single as only the little twilight kids will buy and the people even though they would like his music wont buy it because it's by the 'twilight guy'.
He did get to have 2 songs on the soundtrack to the 1st movie and this is where people were 1st introduced to this pretty amazing voice! He sounds like the amazing Bon Iver at times to me and his piano playing is so stunning.
Yes, it does help that he is uncredibly handsome but I would rather him be a musician than actor anyday.
Heres a picture of the lovely boy and an audio clip of one of his songs, Enjoy x.
N.B the audio clip for his song is on my profile itself

The X-Factor Crazyness
Now I am one of the millions that watch The X-Factor every saturday and sunday nights and just cant afford to miss it....thank god for sky plus!
Every year when the xfactor is on all the tabloids are about the contestants and their 'personal lives'. Each year the popularity and talent grows, sadly most of this talent is over shadowed by how people perceive them or some made up stories about their preferences or events that have occured in their lives.
The thing i find so funny is that no matter how many people that hate the twins John & Edward they were still there week after week because they are so entertaining weather people like to admit it or not! Sadly though they are representing us and they're eejets! Another thing thats interesting is when the public make a big hullabloo about who got voted out that certain week but its the public who make the votes so what are they going so crazy for?
It coming down to the last few now and thankfully they're all great singers not just entertainers. I think it's a good show no matter how many people complain about it because you will still tune in week by week to see whats happening or you'll read it in the paper so yea I love the show and my one to win is Olly Murs because he is such a Babe!

Concert Tickets
Well as the summer winds down, the fests are over and all the big artists are preparing for their winter tours. Now in my opioion I really dont think fests are over priced as you get so many bands, so much drink and just a really cracking weekend for a reasonable price yaknow? But when u wanna see a few bands thats werent on fest lists this year itl cost u and arm n a leg ta go see them ina venue!
Now i love going to the o2 (the old point) as its a great place for concerts but the cost of tickets are scabby to say the least, any concert ive been to there has cost me without fail always over or around 60 quid! And i was well excited when i heard Florence and the Machine were only gona cost a little over 20euro ta go see but of course shes only playing one nite and the tickets sold within a few mins....i really admire Florence tho as shes played fest all summmer long and now shes coming back to play a real cheap gig, thats the way it should be.
I dont know what you guys think but to me concerts are just getting more a more pricys and in these times ppl just cant afford to go see the bands theyre dying to see. I think bands make enough money as it is so why cant they lower the prices a tad and the venues make a ton when the bands play so theres no reason for everything to be so pricey anyway. Gives your thoughts...x
