Windows 7 overview

Advantages: Easy to use, Aesthetically pleasing, User friendly
Disadvantages: Not enough variation from vista, no desktop button

...Windows 7 Review With the recent release of the new Microsoft operating system windows 7 many people believe windows vista will be forgotten about with its constant security alerts and lack of user options. The new operating system has many new features which I will run through now. Firstly the new taskbar down at the bottom is a lot easier on the eye as it no longer has any text whatsoever, instead Microsoft have opted to use just the logo of the software the user currently has running. Another improvement to the taskbar is the ability to lock items to the task bar which is a replacement of the quick launch system in Vista, this simply means that you right click click on the logo of the software you want to lock and click ?pin to taskbar? this means that when the program isn?t open it still has an icon on the taskbar and can be...

Windows 7 - The Best OS Yet!

Advantages: Great new toolbar, excellent personalisation, overall brilliant design
Disadvantages: Really similar to Vista.

...In July, I downloaded the Release Candidate of Windows 7 to evaluate the new operating system and I have to say it's the best version of Windows yet! It surpasses Vista in every way. Windows 7 is not available yet but I'm encouraging all Vista uers to upgrade in October as soon as the software is released. In the rest of my review I will outline some of the key features. For starters, the toolbar has been changed dramatically. In previous versions of windows, the active windows (i.e. open programs and applications) would appear seperately as tabs with the symbols and titles of the programs (with the option to group similar windows together under one tab, such as all the internet explorers open). In Windows 7, the toolbar features the start button (the windows logo), followed by programs pinned to the taskbar and open programs, then...

Windows 7 - it makes Vista look like a beta

Advantages: smooth, quick, easy to install and use, pretty to look at, simplified for the masses
Disadvantages: Vista should have been like this - Microsoft robbed us!

...Windows 7 makes Windows Vista feel like a beta. That?s my philosophy. It was my philosophy before I bought Windows 7 and it?s still my philosophy now. That?s where the ?it looks like Vista? comments come from. Windows 7 is Vista without all the rubbish. Everything people moaned about in vista is gone (or improved) and 7 is more spangly and all singing and dancing. It looks better, runs more smoothly and is simple to use. You might even say its been dumbed down for the masses. Simplified. It?s a pleasure to use. It loads more quickly than Vista and is aesthetically pleasing as it does so. The first thing to note is the ease with which it installed. For those of us brave enough to install our own operating systems (and re-install every so often to keep it fresh), we all know the pain and misery that it can lead too, but I have to say...

Windows 7 - a great operating system.

Advantages: looks great, easy to use, nice new taskbar, high compatibility
Disadvantages: cost is still high

...I recently upgraded from Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate. I had not minded Windows Vista as much as other people; my computer has a 2.13GHz dual core processor and 4GB of RAM. Windows 7 doesn't actually seem to be any faster, but it has some better features and is overall easier to use. It took about 2 hours to upgrade, which isn't bad but it's not amazingly fast. It runs all of my programs that ran under Vista no problem, and some of my hardware is actually now supported that wasn't supported in Vista. I haven't found anything that doesn't work after upgrading. I still recommend that you run the "Windows 7 upgrade advisor" first just to make sure. The new taskbar looks a bit different, but don't be worried, you'll get used to it, and once you do you'll find out that it's a big improvement. Programs no longer have text, just...

Last Action Hero Film Review

Advantages: Action
Disadvantages: This isn't 'The Terminator'

...So here we have a farewell to the darker, Terminator stuff of Arnie's earlier career; a tasteless, clumsy mix of action, comedy and satire; one of the biggest flops of 1993 and the 1990s in general. For all the things that people have labelled Last Action Hero down the years, however, I still can't bring myself to hate it. It's hardly amazing, I'll admit, but I'd still much rather watch this than half the action films that come out these days. It's a self-conscious parody of action movie clichés (made famous primarily by Schwarzenegger himself) and for the most part it comes across quite entertaining. There's plenty of moments concerned with Arnie blowing shit up and making witty remarks about it; and he even meets his real-life counterpart face-to-face and gets the opportunity to poke some fun at himself. Confused? Allow me to...

Big action, big fun

Advantages: Great for imaginative play, sturdy and brightly coloured, Made by fisher price
Disadvantages: expensive for one toy. Quite large so a big room is needed

...Fisher Prices’ Big action garage is one of the best children’s garages I have seen on the market to date. Although a little pricey for a child’s toy at £54.97 it really is money well spent. The garage comes in a box with home assembly required, this was a little daunting as the instructions came in an A4 booklet! However it took roughly half an hour to assemble and was relatively easy once I got going, everything you require is included with the exception of a Phillips screwdriver. The garage itself comprises of a ground floor level with barriers and petrol pumps, the second floor level leads onto the long spiral ramp as does the top floor level. There are two ramps, a speed ramp, with a jump at the end, which cars ‘fly’ off, ( they really do....usually straight at the cat!) this ramp also doubles as...

Lean System 7

Advantages: Not sure there are any
Disadvantages: price

...Probably like you, I spent ages trawling through sites trying to find research or evidence about whether or not Lean System 7 actually works. At best I found reviews that were telling me they were getting great results and it was money well spent and so on. However there were a few scare stories out there about people having headaches and stomach aches. This I put down to intolerances to high doses of caffeine, since one of the active ingredients in Lean System 7 is caffeine. Since I drink a lot of tea coffee and energy drinks I presumed that I wouldn?t have to the same fate as these poor individuals. So I bit the bullet and shelled out money for a bottle of 120 tablets. I started taking the recommend half dosage for the first week then upped this to two twice a day, first thing in the morning and after lunch. I did in fact loose weigh...

Red Dwarf - Series 7 review

Advantages: Fun to watch, some good stories
Disadvantages: Not as good as it could've been

...Red Dwarf - Series 7 is the penultimate season of Red Dwarf, the cult sci-fi sitcom with millions of followers around the globe. A lot of things changed from season 6, Co-creator Rob Grant left to pursue other projects and left Doug Naylor to continue with the series. Naylor brought in new writers because of the extended episodes (up two episodes to eight overall), and, probably the biggest change of all, Chris Barrie decided to only take part in four episodes, due to the hectic workload of the previous season. In his place stepped Chloe Annett as Christine Kochanski, Lister's ex-girlfriend from three million years ago. There is debate among fans as to if this series jumped the shark, that is to say, just went for pure weirdness in favour of compelling, character driven comedy. I think there is an element of truth in that, but it...

More FF VII please.

Advantages: Great fun to play and lovely to look at.
Disadvantages: Hard to stop playing, very long cut scenes.

...Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII was one of several new PS2 games I received for Christmas. I have been a fan of the FF, (Final Fantasy), games for a few years and have played several of the titles that have been released. I was really excited about playing the game and seeing as I've finished it I thought I'd write a review. I will warn you though, game reviews are not my strong point; I'll try not to make it to game guide like! ++++What is Final Fantasy?++++ Final Fantasy is a range of Japanese RPGs, (role-playing games), made by Square Enix, (formally known as Square Co). They don't all follow on from each other, instead they feature different stories, worlds and characters with the exception of FF X and FF X2 and FF VII and the new game Dirge of Cerberus. FF VII had a sequel in the form of the film, Final...
