Purchase Motivations?
Here’s my predicament. I don’t have enough space in my bedroom for a PC (and I can’t do with the temptation!) so what do I do for music en mi dormitorio? Ok lets look at what I do have:
1. PDA (HP iPaq rx3715 wireless enabled, 2GB SD)
2. iPod (4th Gen 40GB)
3. W810i Walkman phone (built in radio, 2x512MB Memory Stick Duo)
So I’d be listening to music mainly on my HP Bluetooth headphones with my iPaq, or with earphones...

Enemy Combatant: A British Muslim’s Journey to Guantanamo and Back
Review
When I was in Year 10 in January 2005 I did a presentation to my English class on the indefinite detention of potentially innocent human beings in Gunatanamo Bay. Handing out some of the few pictures actually available from the media and articles describing the horrific events that took place in Guantanamo to the class showed some interest, in particular a cutting from a newspaper highlighting the release of...
From the 28th March-3rd Of April, the Same Difference Film Festival was held in slough. Its aim was to ‘celebrate the value of resolving differences between communities and individuals’.

Aik Saath which means ‘Together as one’ was the backbone of the event and is a registered charity which started off...

Yeah Apple have been expanding and finally they have started bringing Apple stores to Europe. The first I heard of the Apple stores in the UK was the one on Regent Street, London. This was apparently meant to be quite a hit, I haven’t had the chance to go as of yet but I’ve heard only positive feedback. Of course I was disappointed that there wasn’t one available anywhere near me. The only place I could find are ‘Apple Centres‘ which aren’t all that to be honest. I was really keen on doing work experience at that place but they turned me down
Anyway Apple have...

Well today I played on the notorious Playstation portable and I actually wanted to find something terrible with it, but surprisingly I am very pleased with it.
I was playing “liberty city” and to my eyes the quality was just as good as the PS2, I am aware of the fact that many people who read blogs and who know just the slightest about PC will loath all forms of consoles, but you know what this is different.
I think that I could spend a whole day in the back of a car with one of these playing games or watching movies. I think by now most probably have seen the PSP on TV or even in real...

Ok I ain’t gonna lie, I downloaded and Installed MS Codename Max (they’re becoming obsessed with ‘codename’ now) thinking it was going to be prettey rubbish…and like usual I was very much right.
Heres the little review I promised.
Installation
I downloaded the installer from the MS Max website at 117kb I knew that it was going to download the installation packages itself as it went on. It took me ages, I said it was installing and i’d write the review after i’d restart. Well it took so long to install (P4 2.4ghz 640MB Ram) that I got boerd and forgot about...

From the title it isn’t very hard to work out what this is all about. Wireless is the future, as a matter of fact, wireless is the present. I currently have a WiFi network in my house at 54MB/s, connected to multiple computers, devices and what have you. As a matter of fact I think all of the UNN reporters have wireless networks in their own houses! I know for a fact that Hamza (11b) and Qasim (54g) do!
There were of course some disadvantages of the wireless connectivity, WiFi.
It always starts with cost, when things start off they are, naturally, expensive. This really applies to just about...
