Multi-Media Journalism at Bournemouth University

Advantages: Best reputation for a journalism course in the UK
Disadvantages: Not for the faint hearted - it's hard work!

...I am a current, first-year student at Bournemouth University, on the BA (Hons) Multi-Media Journalism course. I felt that it was about time I told you about the university and the course, as I always have "Journalism student" in my about me section, and often mention the fact that I am studying it here. So without further ado, I shall explain the course. Location of the programme The Multi-Media Journalism course takes place on Bournemouth University's Talbot Campus. The Media School is based in Weymouth House. In the last couple of years, an extension was built on the building, and it now looks very similar to the BBC Television Centre building in terms of style. It has been decorated with commissioned photographs of the local area, as well as clever, artistic images that make you think - for example there is a picture...

Review of Multimedia Journalism

Excellent Multimedia Keyboard

Advantages: Ability to quickly switch between programs
Disadvantages: none

.... - then along the top are shortcuts to MyDocs,MyPics,MyMusic,media player, mail, webhome, messenger. As well as a mute button and what I call video player keys (stop, play, advance etc) - there are three other useful little shortcuts above the number pad for calculator, log off and sleep mode. Bad Points? The only one I can think of, and it's just a matter of personal preference, is the position of the end/home/pageup/down keys. It's a slightly different configuration to what I've used for years and I keep hitting the wrong key. Of course it's also slightly wider than basic keyboards so it may not be suitable for you if space is a consideration. So, if you use multimedia/email a lot, this keyboard's the one for you, it's comfortable to use, easy to install and is in the cheap-medium price range....

Review of Microsoft MultiMedia Keyboard keyboard

MS natural multimedia keybaord

Advantages: easy to pick up, no compatabilty issues
Disadvantages: some buttons seem pointless

...was close, i generally have the Function lock on, which makes the function keys take there normal purpose. The layout of the keyboard is good, this is the first natural keyboard i have had and i have taken to it very well. if you have not had one of these type of keyboards before and you can not touch type then you may find it more difficult to use and so may be better off going for the standard multimedia keyboard. I have been using this keyboard for a few weeks now and not had a single problem, but then i can never remember having a problem with a keyboard. The keys are not to hard to press, good on the old rsi again, but still give that satisfying click when you press them. The whole keyboard feels sturdy, as though you could drop it on the floor with no problems (not that would suggest doing this). I certainly recomend this...

Review of Microsoft Natural MultiMedia Keyboard keyboard

Budget priced projector fits the bill

Advantages: Excellent value for money
Disadvantages: No fancy features

...I was tasked with finding a digital projector for work and it was left to me to source something reasonably priced that we could use for the occasional presentation. It didn't need to be flashy just something which would do the job and have a reasonable output. I looked around various sites and ended up looking around the Misco site as I have used them in the past and been happy with their service and they do stock a fairly wide range. I found the NEC NP100A on there which is an SVGA Projector with 2000 ANSI lumens at a price of £249.99 (£287.49 inc VAT). It looked like it would fit the bill so I placed my order. Out of the Box I settled for next day delivery from Misco and the follwoing day it arrived as promised. It was well packed being securely located in the box by two large pieces of foam and came complete...

Multimedia Magic

Advantages: Does a whole lot more than anything else out there
Disadvantages: You could pay more than you should

...After a brief, yet enjoyable, foray into the Café Ciao! and the food section I once again find myself back in electronics based sections ( no big surprises there ) this time to write about a little gem of a portable Mp3 player that is so much more. Jukebox Multimedia by ARCHOS has been one of the best purchases I have made recently and I am not just talking about the price. Fortunately enough for me I am somewhat of a bargain hunter and don?t just accept the first price I am given. For this reason I will tell you that you can get this a lot cheaper than what some places are charging. I first checked Dabs.com and they were charging £331.34 with shipping and handling ( eqilivent to $530 ). How they have the gall to charge this amount when the home site charges $279:95 ( about the equivalent of £175 ) I don?t know but needless to say...

Sony's multimedia heavyweight

Advantages: reliable, multimedia functions, camera quality, style
Disadvantages: file management, joy stick, ringtones

...Overall, this is an excellent phone. It would be hard to find enough major faults for it not to be worth buying. Good points: 1. Operating System - it is mostly excellent. Sony Ericsson have crammed so many ways to navigate the phone that you find something new everyday that makes it easier to use. When you get used to the phone, it's so quick to get around. You can do things like check how many messages have been sent or check the battery life in percentage. They're just little things, but they make things alot more convenient. 2. Reliability - right, this phone never breaks! I work for an independent mobile phone retailer and have never seen one of these in for a warranty fix and so far have had no problems with my own phone. 3. Multimedia - loads of it! There is the brilliant combination of an excellent camera and a clear...

Great Multimedia Wireless Router from Belkin

Advantages: Reliable, Fast, Easy to configure, Lots of features, USB for sharing drives
Disadvantages: Bit expensive, Not full speed with every machine

...the box) boasts "Storage Performance Networking". This means it's supposed to be fast for multimedia. The router itself has a USB port, which lets me plug in flash drives and USB hard drives enabling everyone on the network to access the files on the drive. It does require Belkin's Storage Manager software to be installed on the machines first though. Once installed, assuming you're connected to the network, the software seems to just pick up the drive and it shows up in My Computer as a network drive. I've played some video files on my PC and laptop at the same time and all the video plays smoothly so the bandwidth is sufficient. I expect quite a few more multimedia files can be played concurrently. Streaming a single High Definition video to both my PC and laptop at the same time proved to be fine as well. You can also copy files into...

Microsoft 'Not So Natural' Multimedia Keyboard

Advantages: Styling, Position of Keys, Shortcut keys
Disadvantages: Not good for long term constant use, Only PS/2 Connection

...Hi and welcome to my review of the multi-media keyboard from microsoft. This is a great ergonomic keyboard and is also great if you want a stylish keyboard for normal home use. They keyboard has some of the lastest features for a mobile with the best in styling and a great look and design. I recently purchased two of these keyboards as my old keyboards have got in a really bad state and needed replacing. I thought it would be a cheapy keyboard but as soon i got home and had a look at them i saw how a great value keyboard it was. The box is really attractive and shows exactly what you get in the packet. I opened the packet and found that it was packed really well and would have been well protected if i had accidently dropped it. The cable was tied up and everything was packed tightly inside a cradboard inside. Plus the cd was kept...

Sony Portable Projector

Advantages: Easy to carry, light and compact
Disadvantages: Expensive to maintain

...I have used this Sony Projector for over 3 years. It is very light, compact and easy to use. It comes in a canvas carry case with shoulder strap. The projector itself folds up in to a compact carry case. The front cover folds over with a handle and locks so it can be carried like a mini briefcase. The control functions are on top of the projector. There is a row of buttons on the front, Power,Input,APA, and volume control. On the right are buttons for reset,menu,arrow keys and enter. There are 4 light signals,lamp,fan,power saving,standby. The port at the back has audio,mouse,video,svideo and scart to laptop connection. THe SONY LCD Projector made in Japan is very reliable. THis one is probably 5 years old. Replacement lamps for it are now very expensive. When you switch it on it is ready to use in about 3 minutes. The picture...
