Old design hides great new features

Advantages: Huge, High res display. Very quick, great processor, ram, high capacity HDD
Disadvantages: No unibody design, some features only available on SMALLER model, Still no Blu-Ray

...Let me be frank. I am a fan of Apple computer. This is no secret. I love more or less everything they do, and although I hope to be objective, here, you are reading the review of a card carrying member of the Cult of Mac. I had heard that apple had been prepping a redesign to the MacBook pro line for some time, and had held off on purchasing my new macbook pro until this happened. Sadly, the updates came, and the 17 inch top end model was not part of the refresh. The cool new unibody macbook pro's are limited to the 15 inch model. I agonised over the choice for some time, the new 15 inch MBP's are so impressive, but eventually, screen real estate won out, and I brought the older design 17 inch model. I have to say, I am not disappointed. The computer is a replacement for my old 17 inch PowerBook G4, which was itself no slouch...

Design of a decade

Advantages: good tracks
Disadvantages: none

...an article I read, Janet was named the second most successful recording artist of the 1990s. I don't find this hard to believe but I still think she is perhaps not as famous or successful (or should I can iconic) as other female artists such as Madonna or Mariah Carey who I think it would be fair to compare her with. Jackson is ranked by Billboard magazine as one of the top ten best-selling music artists in the history of contemporary music, having sold over 100 million albums worldwide. The Recording Industry Association of America lists her as the eleventh best-selling female artist in the United States, with 26 million certified albums. My favourite album of hers is Design of a Decade 1986/1996, so called because it spans a decade of her work. I like it because it's a compilation album and contains some of her. It's probably best described as...

The Design Museum (London)

Advantages: Good collection
Disadvantages: Admission expensive

...and designers, as a founding father of Italian modernism. His vast portfolio of work was well represented from his architectural works such as Milan?s Pirelli building to his product designs such as the La Pavoni coffee machine. I have never really been a big fan of Gio Ponti, but I think this is because I have never seen his work in Real life before. It amazing to think how little the camera can capture of an artists work, I have found that photographs can only give you the faintest impression of a sculpture or object, when you see them in the flesh it is a whole new experience. With any piece of design you need to touch and feel the materials, pick it up and hold it, or if it is a chair sit in it to appreciate the real qualities of the design. That is one good thing about the chair gallery, I mentioned earlier, these exhibits are not roped off...

i-lash Designer Eyelash Extensions

Advantages: Look great and natural for the first few days, cheaper than other brands

Creative Nail Design Enamel

Advantages: Smooth application, good coverage, long lasting
Disadvantages: Price

...Lim fashion show. Creative have 37 Bold shades which are bright, dark, and glittery and you will always find one that's just you. These range from silver, glittery shades, yellows, oranges, blues, purples and black. You name a colour and shade and Creative have it. 'Turqouise Tint' has been featured in Nylon Magazine as a must have colour earlier this year and 'Trophy' was pictured in Cosmo Girl as one of the new bold nail colours that is currently in fashion. I don't find these colours as popular as the others, but they are more popular in the summer on toes. As well as the magazine mentions above, Creative Nail Design have also been mentioned for their fashionable, high quality nail enamels in other magazines such as - Glamour, Ok, Star, All You, Woman's Day, Shape, Essence, Real Simple, Life & Style Weekly, Allure, Self, Marie...

The NEW Hot Pink Limited Edition Straighteners

Advantages: Look Great!
Disadvantages: Expensive!

...After having already bought a pair of the traditional black medium sized GHDs, and having them brake on me, GHDs must be good! The straightener is made in a sleek new design which makes it easier for you to create curls and flicks as the barrel is much rounder than previous models. So as well as creating straight hair you can create curls, waves and flicks too. Provided is a CD Rom, showing step-by-step videos on how to create the perfect salon look. They also feature a new 'sleep mode', so they will automatically turn off after 30 minutes; a good way of preventing the house from burning down! Aswell as this they include a shiver function which prevents damage to the irons in the cold winter weather. The straighteners come in a handy silky wrap which rolls out to produce a heat resistant mat and also looks very nice in...

Fashion Designer Style Icon

Advantages: Creative and different
Disadvantages: Quite a short game, played it in a month

...My daughter wanted this for Christmas after seeing loads of advertisements for this on CITV chanel, (advertising obviously works) there is another designer game as well but this one appealed to my daughter more as she said you could do more on this game. This game is very well suited for the Nintendo Ds and a good use of the pen. When you start the game you have 3 blank profiles that you can go into, so either 3 of you can play and save a profile each on either 1, 2 or 3 or if only one of you plays the game you can save 3 different games. When you select a profile you then go into the game modes, career which is explained below, missions that you can do tutorials on how to cut fabric etc, free play which lets you choose models or profile where you can go into one of your 3 profiles and credits which tells you more about...

A Passion For Interior Design!

Advantages: little cost for so much opportunity.
Disadvantages: none found yet

...Having taken a career break to bring up my little boy and having a passion for interior design I decided to further my interests and enrol on a course. I found the perfect 'home study' course that was enjoyable as well as informative and that I could fit in around looking after my son who at the time was only one. The course was run by the National Design Academy which is a centre of excellence for Interior Design and related subjects based at Rufford Hall, in Nottingham. It is set in seven acres on parkland next to the River Trent, situated one mile from the famous Trent Bridge Cricket Ground.. The aims of the academy are to teach practical skills to a professional standard whether 'in studio' or through 'home study' with a recognised qualification and advice on starting up your own business so that you can enter a career in...
