Adobe Dreamweaver - fantastic bit of software!

Advantages: easy to use, code hinting, loads of useful features
Disadvantages: sometimes is a bit tempremental

...Adobe Dreamweaver is one of the best web design programs of all time, or at least that's what I think. I started using Dreamweaver as the designer of my site, never venturing into the code side of things. Dreamweaver is great when it comes to this, the new CS4 interface makes everything so much easier to get to. It is so simple that you can have a table based template set up in no time! However, when I started looking into making my site a little better and nicer looking, I came accross CSS. When I started using this coding language, I knew nothing about it, however when I opened up a blank CSS document, I noticed that when I typed I got suggestions of what could be put in. Using this I gradually learned CSS through code hinting, that is how great it is. Another great thing with Dreamweaver is the ease of setting up a connection to...

Review of Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 (PC)

  Perfect for the CD Collection!

Advantages: gentle, relaxing, cheap, some amazing songs
Disadvantages: It's jammed in my laptop just now :(

...I started to watch ITV lunch time show Loose Women just over a year ago. At the time, I was unaware of who any of the panellists were. Though now I know quite a bit about these fantastic women, one of which is the lovely Jane McDonald. Jane is a singer, and has had various albums released. The one I own is called 'The Collection'. The CD cover itself has a picture of Jane her self, dressed in a trendy denim jacket, her smile stretched broadly across her face. The colours behind her are beautiful; a shining shade of deep purple with a hint from silver stars. It's very attractive, definitely one to draw the attention in. The Collection has nineteen tracks on it, each listed on the back of the CD case. I scanned over them briefly before listening, finding that I had heard of some of the tracks before. Though I was curious to discover...

Review of Will Hay Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

My parcel wasn't collect for 9 days! Not good enough!

Advantages: Website is very straight forward and simple to use. Service is good value.
Disadvantages: Goods very delayed. Might never have got there if I hadn't noticed a problem!

...I recently bought some items with MandM Direct which unfortunately had to be returned (Superdry Clothing was not designed to fit "normal" people!) and noticed on their website that they were advertising a company that offered cheaper rates than Royal Mail for returning goods. I had a quick look at the details and thought I would give it a whirl. So I went on and followed some very simple instructions on the Collect + website. I have to say that at this point I was very impressed as the website was easy to use and explained things very well. You type in your postcode and it tells you the nearest place to take you parcel, which would be a local corner shop or similar. Then you have to book it in on the website and pay. Then you print a label out, stick it on the parcel and then take it to the place you chose. All very simple! I...

Metallica - Master of Puppets

Advantages: Very deep lyrics
Disadvantages: Last album with Cliff Burton

...The album Master of Puppets is the third studio album by America?s highest selling Metal band. It was released March 3rd 1986 and has since sold over 6 million copies in the USA alone. It is also the last album to be recorded with bassist Cliff Burton before a fatal bus accident while touring for the album. The album is considered one of the greatest thrash metal albums of all time and is considered a classic by critics and the band alike. The songs mainly focus on losing control and the intensity of the riffs really shows this. Lead vocals/ guitar: James Hetfield Drums: Lars Ulrich Bass: Cliff Burton Lead guitar: Kirk Hammet Battery- 5:15 The opening track begins with a very harmonic tune using three acoustic guitars until bass and drums come in to play a more distorted version of the harmony. But a minute in is the reason that...

Can you Master This ?

Advantages: Good amount of games to choose from
Disadvantages: The sound at times is terrible

...Master all classics is a game for the Nintendo DS console which is giving you the chance to play the games you might remember playing all the time but as board games. You initially begin by setting up a profile which is pretty simple to do and you put down your name and a small picture and then you begin to play the games. How it works You get to sit there and look through a selection of games which are there to play. Once you have selected a game you wish to play you sit there and you begin to read the instructions and practice some tutorials about the game. Now these are pretty easy and most of the games have about 3 to choose from which is good and the other good part is that if you?re still unsure after the tutorial you get to play them all again until you are glad you are ready. Once you finished the tutorial you...

Adobe Acrobat Reader

Advantages: Free, used globally, secure file transfer
Disadvantages: None

...~Introduction~ As I start this review, I will declare that my knowledge of computers and their applications is good, but not as extensive as some people's. I do know some of the more advanced functions of a computer and am pretty confident that I can write the review in a more than legible manor. I have come across Adobe Acrobat Reader a number of times in my use of computers and the internet and I feel that the programme is worthy of a review from myself. I am taking my A-levels at school at the moment and Adobe Acrobat pops up a lot in business studies. We are often assigned tasks to find cash flow forecasts or a break even analysis from a real life company and many of these are Adobe Acrobat files. ~Overview~ The Adobe Acrobat software, allows users to view and compile documents that can't be edited by others...

Obey your Master!

Advantages: looks great
Disadvantages: bendy, could be pricey

.... Doctor Who is such a huge success, so there is no surprise to learn that CHaracter Options and BBC together have provided us with a wide range of toys and merchandise. There are a selection of figures to choose from, including the 5", 12" and the babies, the Micro Universe, which stand at just one inch! The figures come in packs of three or seven, and you can only ever see one or three of the ones you are going to buy. They cost around £5-£10 so it is clear that it is going to be expensive to collect them all, especially apparent if you have nobody else who you can trade doubles with! One of the figures is the Master. So does he look like he should? The little plastic figure is dressed in the white shirt and black suit as the Master is throughout. He is also pointing his right arm forward, clutching onto something gold, which I can only...

Adobe Through the Looking Glass

Advantages: The industry standard photo editing tool
Disadvantages: The daunting price

...The jewel in Adobes crown, Photoshop is simply the most powerful piece of imaging software that there is. My love affair started with version 2, way back when, and each new incarnation has added life saving tricks to the sizeable toolbox. Version 7 refines all the rough edges of version 6 which initially left me cold. I think the change of interface was always going to divide the followers, and after so many years of shortcutting my way to palettes and expanding tool options, to suddenly have them appear up in the top menu bar was a huge kick in the ribs. Be warned then, if you are about to upgrade from 5 or earlier, expect a little time to get used to the minor but still rather alarming change of layout. So, that minor quibble aside, just what does Photoshop do? Well, from version 6 onwards, practically everything. Previously...

Samsung SyncMaster Sells Seashells on the Seashore

Advantages: Shiny and flat with clear images
Disadvantages: 24" is a big monitor

...1200 resolution. I also demanded extreme prettiness. Unfortunately times had changed. Manufacturers had decided that high resolution was only really required in larger screen sizes. My quest for a 19? super duper monitor was quashed. These demands were too much for the manufacturers of flash screens. I found monitors that were too big, that were too small, that had scummy resolution and most shockingly of all I found monitors I couldn?t bear to look at, such was their ugliness. Then I found the Samsung SyncMaster 2433. It was a whopping 24? but had that all important 1920 X 1200 resolution. Plus, it passed the pretty test. Black glossy and curvaceous, the Samsung ticked a lot of boxes. I was sold. So sold in fact, that I ordered 2. Oh yes. When they arrived they needed a minor amount of self assembly. This might seem odd, but the base...
