hello.. Again.

Halo my fellow blog followers and updaters.

Once again i have accidently neglected the world of blogging due to rather gastly things getting in the way, one example would be awful college.. Oh no, not college. It’s more of a doss in the local SPAR shop or in the local swimming bath with the ‘pals’

One thing that has infuriated me for the last couple of weeks is that ‘Copyright’ issues are branded as ‘thiefs’ and people that have turned their back from society and are no good to anyone, should be locked up in a cell and the key must have been thrown away.

This post is mainly based on the ‘speech’ that Stephen Fry was discussing when he was recording a ‘Podgram’ when he was hosting an hour long segment at the iTunes festival.

I am an avid twitter fan and do nothing much than tweet, i saw an update from Lily Allen the other weeks portraying that she wasn’t as well off as people presume she is due to people ‘illegally’ downloading her music. I used the ‘ ‘ for a specific reason. Are we REALLY thieves if we download the occasional track. Half of the sites advertising on google and yahoo etc are illegal and get millions of hits per hour!

How can people prosecute large amount of people, you can’t.. We just have to get over it.

People will always find away of illegally downloading a BBC doc, or the current ‘top 40′ tracks of the week. The Daily Mail reported that Lily Allen had just bought a £3 million home. I DO like Lily Allen, i must put that across to you. This isn’t a post against her and all musicians film makers etc. but i HAVE to say that a lot of people in the media industry are over paid and over pampered. £3 mil to a random member of the General Public would be many times more than they will/ going to make in a life time.

In the conclusions no matter how we delay broadband speeds or shut down a website, there will always be someone who will find away of avoiding payments.

Get it OK?

This week has been the most boring/un-social week ever.. I ‘ve been off for about 7weeks now doing nothing. I have also come into some work too! This is good but it does involve a 5:30am get up on saturdays and Sundays. I’ve also been really ill.. Not physically, mentally.. As in my head hurts and I go dizzy when I get up to go to the bathroom.. I also can’t remember that last time I have smiled.. I have purposely been ignoring phone calls when I know they’re a ‘Are you coming round’ phone call. All my friends are the complete opposite to me like to get drunk twice a week/ confident and out going. I also get my results in a matter of weeks (As I type this my stomach is churning) Most of all complaints my BlackBerry is messing up on me which IS a disaster. I am currently typing on it using the WordPress app (Its quite brilliant) SO, I’m gonna go back to watching CDWM.. Thanks bye!

iPad!

Here’s a quick vid i did in Curry’s on the iPad!

The first time that i tried the iPad.. I wasn’t impressed, I’m not sure whether the it was the shop network or whatever. I WAS impressed with the HD screen, loved it! The apps were presented so well on the screen! One thing that is lacking on the iPad is the usage of Flash Player. This means that some websites can’t be opened properly or viewed properly. Such a shame!

However, there are apps that DO recover the flash e.g the Youtube app that’s installed. Flash IS awful, it’s slow and overheated small laptop/MacBooks

However it is way too over priced. Rumors went around that the device itself is only worth £220 and Apple are selling it for £429! Whaaaat!!

What do you guys think?

I was wondering what you guys think; I’m not really ‘into’ photoraphy so I thought I’d ask you, if the Nikon D90 was any good and where could I get one that’s super cheap! Been looking on-line and the prices are CRAZY! Almost £1,000!

Drop me a comment on what you think!

iPhone 4! 24th June!

thebloggeries — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 11:57:07 +0000

SO, the new iPhone has been launched!

This IS amazing for the Apple fans! There’s just one snitch that really grinds my gears.. The fact that in America, the iPhone is only $199-$200 and over here in the UK the iPhone is blimmin’ £654 (Average price) This is silly!

However i followed the coverage on a great website.. Forgotten the name (Sorry) It was amazing for the people who couldn’t make it! There were loads of live fed pics that us tech fans could enjoy.

EVEN I AM EXCITED! The iPhone really has beaten the BlackBerry on this one! I admit! The cool new apps makes the iPhone SUPERB! E.g the iMovie app lets users edit and upload their movies to networking sites. Also FARMVILLE will be available to those who hunger it.

Probably the most important feature is the ability to video call other iPhone user in HD. Video calling went away from our smartphones as it was too expensive and wireless providers weren’t providing enough data for their users to use this feature. This feature will be a big boom in the market!

You can pre-order your iPhone for the 24th June and may even come early like the iPad did (In the UK) Not sure of the tariff’s as they haven’t been released yet (I don’t think??)

Facefuck?

thebloggeries — Sun, 23 May 2010 15:32:59 +0000

I don’t know about you but i am really annoyed at these 3 page long ‘Likes’

OK, it was funny when it was just 1 page long but i saw another one today on my homepage that pissed me off. It was the ‘lets count to 20000′ Why, why do people need to scroll all the way through 20,000 numbers on a hot summers day like today! STOP IT NOW!

BLACKBERRY CASES!

I found this brilliant website that lets you design your own Blackberry cases! It’s Amazing! Plus it is SO easy to use and fun and interactive!

There is literally millions of designs that you create with loads of different colors. It is a little pricey though! $40 for a case is a bit expensive but the cases do look good! Try it out and let me know what you think!

AMAZING!

Lot’s of BlackBerry users complain that they can’t use Youtube on their Smartphones. Well, i’m sorry you can’t but there is another m.site that will work called Vuclip. It’s amazing grwat for browsing videos that aren’t on youtube too!

i book marked the site on my BlackBerry simply because i use a lot of data on my phone. Once you have selected the site, the homepage will appear on your phone. I really do love the fact that he page is simple to look at and you dont have to do any scrolling to get to the search bar! I searched iJustine!

When your search results appear, it will give you lot’s off different options. A great option is that it tells you how much data your using if you watch the video in a certain mode e.g Hi, Low. Also you can watch it in different parts if you want to save data and get straight to a certain section.

Once you have selected the mode you wish to play the video, your BlackBerry will give you the option to save the video onto your phone or to just play the video.

then just watch the video, there is no buffering which is great and the video is so clear in both high and low modes!

iMac 27″

thebloggeries — Fri, 21 May 2010 10:26:38 +0000

The other day, I went into the Apple store and tested the new iMac that was released a couple if months ago. She screen is huge. It comes in different sizes and the one I tested was the 27″ one. It was awesome! However, it may have been a little too big. This thing was like the size of a flat and dwarfed all the other Mac and laptops. I didn’t have the time to fully test it though which was a shame. The picky employee’s hover around you like your a £100 bill. So just though you’d like the new iMac
Thanks!
