How confusing is RAM! Very apparently!

Today I realised that too run many of my programs at the same time I would most definitely have to get some more RAM. Now I thought it would be a simple case. In fact I thought that I could simply type my computers spec name and model into Google and there would be some great forum or information on what type of RAM that I would need for my computer, unfortunately I was very wrong. I found it very difficult to get any information on the computer which I needed ram for, and it was even harder because I found that My Computer is discontinued, so even if I did phone up the company, they may not be able to give me the necessary details that are important. As you can see this bugged me.

So after searching for hours and hours I finally found a place that would give me the right information. When looking for ram make sure you get the right pin, most rams are around 200pin and this is the one I needed. You should also check the speed on the ram. For my computer I needed a ram which was at 800mhz. Another you should check is of course the price, if you get it from a decent third party manufacturer, then I am sure that you will have no problems in getting a good deal. When you go the company that may have provided you with the computer then just simply, do not get what they offer. Of course if the price is right on the ram, then do so. However in most cases you will be getting ripped off, and you will be able to get a better deal elsewhere.

I would suggest that you take a good look around before purchasing one. There are many places online, and if you have serious problems finding out what type of RAM you will need for your computer, then I highly suggest that you phone the people who made your computer. The company (in most cases) will be able to tell you all the information that you will need to know about the computer and what ram it may need. Think about how much you want to spend and then get ram which is close to your buying budget, get the most ram you can get 2 or 4 gig is usually great, but make sure your computer can cope with that. If so u can bet that it will be just fine.

Laptop vs desktop

Now Ive been cut up over what to get next out of a new PC desktop or a new Mac desktop. Aswell as this very irritating and confusing predicament I have also been wondering something else. This is weather to get a laptop or a desktop. So if you think about it all in all I have a total of 4 choices, these choices are.
1. Mac desktop (which I originally wanted but I am not sure now)
2. Mac Mac book (definitely super cool and would suggest to get one if you are working on the move, and you are working with graphics or music programs)
3. Pc desktop (great value for money, I could probably get twice in the box, then what I would get for my Mac)
4. A normal PC laptop (a classic choice for affordable on the move work)

So I’m cut between the four and as many of you know, that all four choices have bonuses and disadvantages. I do work on the road a lot to be honest, so I think I may be getting a laptop, but which one. I sometimes work with graphics, depending on what type of job I am working on. I have recently started doing graphics and the programs I use are predominantly on Macintosh, this means that too carry on using these I would have to have a Mac computer. But for value for money, there is nothing like PC, the great thing is that it is easier to find components and part for PC rather than for Mac. Mac have almost monopolised the industry by making it difficult for third party company to work with Mac. For example if you want a hard drive the Mac people will only recommend you their own brand of hard drive which probably is twice as expensive as if you would get one normally. This can be a real bummer if you have not got the knowledge that we guys have.

To be honest I know im going to end up getting a laptop, because I am not working more on the move, in hotels and on trains. However I am still unsure over to get a Mac or a PC, I think over time My mind will give me the right solution, until then im going to sit back and look online at all my options, until the right one comes.

Laptop or PC...hhmmm

I’ve always thought that getting a laptop was like a richer man getting a PC. In other words laptops have always been that little bit more luxurious than not using one. I don’t know why this is. It may be because laptops have always been a grand upwards from 5 years or so ago, and I always found them to be a lot more expensive they the same computer would have been in a PC. Of course things have changed drastically now and now they are in fact a lot cheaper than PCs in many cases, of course it really does depend on where you get them from. I have often got mine from high street shops and paid a lot more than I should have. Going to smaller independent shops means that you will often get about 20 percent of even more of your laptop.

I would suggest that you look in as many places as possible for your laptop, and when you find the one that is right for you, try to see if you can haggle them down. This is another bonus with small more independent shops; the people who serve you often have more control over what price they can offer you. I have often got up to 30% of the price that they have offered my on laptops, however this has been on very specific products, and I would say that getting anything over 20% of is a great deal that you should be proud of. Get friends to look around for you too, the great things is that they may look in different places to you, and may look for cheap laptops in different resources; they can be very handy because you can get different prices and cheaper laptops from different places!

I am not sure what you should get, if you are thinking about getting either a laptop of a PC. Really the decision ends with you, and you should know that only you know what you will really need, and what will be super useful for you. If you are someone that works from home you may benefit from having a desktop PC, you can often get desktop PCs for a better price, and it is often easier to upgrade them, when you want to. However upgrades a laptops components can be a lot more expensive and can also be a lot harder to do. Think about these things when you are thinking about what you would like to get, and you will always be fine getting your new computer.

Internet saves Argos | The future of Uk retail, Argos

Im sure that over the next few years shops like Argos will benefit highly from the shopping that people do online. Argos, is obviously a very successful company, and its supremacy of the internet, and dominating it has lead to even more success. Unfortunately other UK stores such as Woolworths (and a few other ones) were not so successful online. However sometimes it makes me wonder, why did Argos succeed and Argos fail? I believe that If anything Argos should have failed because of the way the shop look. Of course Argos is just a collection point to get what you would have ordered from your catalogue.

Whereas Woolies is very different, this shop has a nice inside that people want to look and shop around, and be able to physically hold a product rather than just look at one in a catalogue. It actually leaves me quite shocked that Argos and other shops like It have succeeded compared to many other shops of similar nature. Maybe this is the way the shopping industry is heading. Once in Britain, it may have been true that most shoppers would have wanted to touch and see their product before buying it. However now because the internet has influenced how we buy things, we now no longer want or need to see a product or touch it before buying it. I think that this has helped shops like Argos to become the dominant force that they are today.

Out of all the UK retail stores I also noticed that they were one of the first ones to attack the internet with great power. A lot of the other shops saw the internet as a phase that would soon die out. Many of the other shops saw it as something that could wait, but Argos decided to attack it straight away. I think that this and many other factors has been absolutely paramount to the success of Argos, and will continue to be a force with the shop. I think that because people will not benefit from going in store (because the shop does not have your items on display) people have no problem buying from off their website. Basically buying offline or going to their shop will have little difference because, in both cases your product is not showcased in the shop, like it may be in other ones. When you go to Argos, you always know what you want, and you are ready to buy. Argos simply is not a browsing shop, and this is why it makes more money, and is more successful than its rivals.

netbook laptops vs normal laptops

So whats your opinion on the netbook laptops, up until now I have always thought that there was no point getting one. There are a few reasons for my thoughts on this. Firstly I am not sure about the laptops (as in the companies who make them), but I’m not sure that I trust some of the smaller manufacturers that do not make the normal laptops. Buying things as expensive as laptops means that, you should look after your money even more than usual. Laptops and notebook laptops can often cost you an arm and a leg if you go to a big high street store. I prefer to get mine from elsewhere, when I do eventually get it. However I would suggest that you look for the cheapest prices that you can get them from.

The main problem that I have, (or the main thing that I am not so sure about) is this, what is the point in getting a notebook laptop. Ok I understand that’s they are small and very good for carrying to places ect ect. But seriously what is wrong with the conventional laptop? I think that If you want to carry round a personal computer, you at least want to clearly see the screen, without trying to look extra hard. Some of these computers can be a real pain when you want to look at some small text that may be on the internet. Unless you are planning to carry your net book laptop in your pocket then I suggest you get a laptop bag, and then get a decent laptop. Obviously I am speaking from one perspective, and I would love to hear the views of many more people across the world, on this topic.

Of course what you get does highly depend on what work you would like to do, on your netbook laptop. Are you someone that would use your netbook laptop for word processing on the go? Or are you someone that would use your netbook laptop for graphic design and other forms of art, (where a big screen would be really useful). Of course these are things that you need to take into consideration whilst you are buying your netbook or laptop. Look at the deals you get on both types of laptop and make the decision, think about what you will be using it for, and what will work for you.

Mobile phones? Are they the Future?

Ive been using mobile phones and many different forms of cell phones for a while now, and there a number of things that I have realised. There are obviously many different types and forms of models out there that may suit you will. May I add that there are many different prices that you may be paying for your cell phone. But there are also many things that happen to be the same in all cell phones. These are things such as the basic facts that they can all receive and send messages to one another. These are also things such as the fact that you can call people, no matter where they may be, in the world. However there are some things that I would like to mention.

You should always remember that there are many different things that you can do to your phone to improve its reception, many of these things can be found on increase and improve cell phone signal strength or reception. To do this, is to get the best out of your phone. I often don’t like to think that many people don’t use their phones to their best potential, this is quite scary. I think that often a cell phone will cost over $400 and sometimes much more. But most people tend to use only a small proportion of the technology and assets on their phone. I’m not sure why this is. It is maybe because the culture is lazy, or it may be because the people simply do not want to use the multiple functions. However you should know that you always deserve to get the best out of whatever you buy. This can range from what car you get, to what computer you buy. You should always get the best out of it and look towards making it better. This is why I have often done things to my phone like update the OS software. This can improve many things on your phone, usually and mainly the applications and the speed of the phone. It can also improve the speed of the internet, depending on what cell phone you have. Cell phones will be here for a long time, and over the last 15 years that they have been in use they seem to have gotten more and more dominant in our culture. To think that they were not available to buy 15 years ago and the internet was nonexistent seems like a joke. However it is not, just think about what will happen in 100 years time!

acoustic guitar accessories | tips and tricks

Getting the best acoustic guitar accessories is a great way of knowing that you will get the best out of your guitar. You may be asking why this is important it is important for many reasons.

You will need spare strings, spare strings are obviously important because if you break them, you do not want to have to go and get spare strings from the shop. This can be especially annoying when and if you are performing. This is why you truly need a set of spare strings before you decide that you would like to perform, there are a few other acoustic guitar accessories that you will need, to be the best. You will also need a capo. Many of you need guitar players may have never heard of a capo, but I can assure you that a capo is very important. It often allows you to transpose keys in an instant. If you want to go up a key signature of down a key, this is usually easily achieved using a Capo. You can get one of these from great places across the Uk and I would suggest that this is another great acoustic guitar accessory. If you have never heard of one I suggest that you do your research and understand how they work. However I would still suggest getting one of the great acoustic guitar accessories straight away because doing so you will be able to play around with it. When you do this you will practically be able to use it, with having to do much reading. Playing with something physically is always a lot better than reading about it, right? This is a great thing for all people will want to play guitar, and if you know anyone who already plays guitar I suggest you speak to them about it.

There are many other acoustic guitar accessories that I would suggest for you to feast your eyes on. Many of them will not be suitable for people who are just learning the guitar but hopefully one day you will become a pro and be able to use all of them. You should check out clips on YouTube of using a steel slide. This technique is amazing and should be used by many different guitarists. These can make some of the best sounds on a guitar and to be honest I don’t think that they are one of the harder acoustic guitar accessories that people often use. I have never heard anyone use one with an electric guitar but I’m sure you could try that too.

vintage studio set-ups | Good vintage studio set up

I have been researching vintage studio set-ups recently and I have come to many conclusions, and I have been taught a lot about them, and how they work. Vintage studio set-ups range in size and colour and variety. I have been into many different and highly varying vintage studio set-ups and found out that people work in many different ways whilst doing it, you should always look at different vintage studio set-ups when building your own. When I say building, I don’t mean literally, getting a studio by bricks and mortar. I mean building your vintage studio set-up from the inside out, if you do this, you will first focus on the things that are important.

When thinking about building your vintage studio set-up, think about the amount of time that you should put into it. The more time and thought that you will give to your vintage studio set-up, the better your vintage studio set-up will be and look. I often wonder how people make their vintage studio set-ups without taking out enough time to think about what equipment they may want to use with their place of work. Your music is the most important thing and you should not let anything get in the way of that. If your studio takes around a few years to build, or whether it takes a few months, only you know what it right for your vintage studio set-up. Always think about the spacing aswell, do you want your vintage studio set-up to be crammed, or do you want it to be nice and spacey, there are pluses for both. If your components to your vintage studio set-up are crammed, this will mean that they are pretty close. When you are producing this will be good because you will be able to reach all your instruments really quickly.

however if you are someone like me that likes the look and feel of an open space environment, then you should definitely look into getting a space for your vintage studio set-up that is big enough to accommodate you and the way you work. This will (or may) obviously cost you a lot more money, but if this is the environment that you work better in, then allow it and go for it. Don’t give up until you get the perfect vintage studio set-up. Then you will always be pleased when you are working with people that enter your place of work.

Why fight technology

Why fight technology people, when it is giving us the great freedom and beauty that you see around you. Many people often ask me, why things have to be so complicated with technology, it’s a silly question really. The only reason that things are so complicated with technology is that it is doing so much! Why fight technology when it doesn’t so much for us, technology is helping us to communicate on a global scale, which was unheard of prior to the internet, so why fight technology, after these reasons have been exposed. Have you met up with an old friend thanks to facebook or some other technology? I ask myself everyday Why fight technology, Why fight technology, Why fight technology. Sometimes I think I am the only person who wants technology to exist.

If you are sensible enough, then try to understand the great technologies that they are giving us every day, where would we be without technology. When you need to find out what time the cinema’s are or when you want to see what the train’s times are, or the next train, what do you do. You may have phoned up the companies that own these services many years ago, but now everything has been made so easy. I think that the world is in the toddler steps of the internet and as it grows and becomes a more dominant part of human technology people will understand it great uses more. On the other hand we could see what we are seeing now with technology, we could see that people become more used to it, and take it for granted even more. This is not good, however I would recommend that you take a step back and realise what the internet is doing for us.

However I am not solely talking about the internet, I am talking about other things too. Like being able to use your mobile phones. This was not as popular 10 years ago when these devices were first introduced to technology. But now they are so dominant that people tend to forget that only 10 or 15 years ago, they were virtually non-existent. Imagine having to rely on meeting someone, somewhere in the 80’s. You could be able to text them, to tell them you are going to be late. You would have to be there on time. Why is technology still fought when it has given us the advancements we need on cancer and other life threatening diseases.

Avatar movie technology | Avatar movie technology

I went to the cinema yesterday to watch a great film that I have been interested in watching, It was called Avatar. The Avatar movie technology is somewhat great, there are 3D elements in the movie that make it far better than not watching it in the 3D, I have found that there are many reasons that films should have the Avatar movie technology, and other reasons why they shouldn’t have the Avatar movie technology. The Avatar movie technology has the use of 3D glasses, most cinemas give these away for free, and for a slightly more expensive experience you can have the opportunity to watch the Avatar movie technology and then keep the glasses. They do look pretty cool so it is not uncommon for people to actually wear these on a daily basis (just like I have been doing so since I watched the film). I would recommend seeing this film any day of the week. The Avatar movie technology starts when you see a man floating in an area, the film is set about 152 years in the future. The man is watching a bubble of liquid floating, as he concentrates’ on it, the bubbles appears to move towards you. This may seem quite shocking for someone who has yet to experience this; however it is a pleasant experience which most people enjoy watching. I have heard that some people found the Avatar movie technology quite uncomfortable to watch and at the times the Avatar movie technology was uncomfortable to watch.

At times the Avatar movie technology was uncomfortable to watch because of the way it was used. At times you felt a little confused especially when the screen would move whilst being in 3D, this seemed strange and the blurriness would make it a little uncomfortable for the eye. I would recommend for you to watch it and give me your opinions. Many people have told me that it has only happened to them after the first time they have watched a film with the Avatar movie technology, and others have told me it gets worse each time you watch the Avatar movie technology. I have only watched the film once so I am not sure. However I do truly think that they will master it eventually, if you are interested in the film; please do check out their website. Avatar is one of the best films I have seen this year.
