Previously I have mentioned dreamweaver as the proper software for web design. Today I am going to review it properly. Dreamweaver CS4 is the best software there is for web design. I know professional coders, web designers and even amateur web designers use it. The code the dreamweaver uses is just beautiful. it doesn't add as much useless fluff to the code as it used to. The old fashioned feature that dreamweaver decided to get rid off is layers(hurray) as layers are useless and just mess up the code I'm glad they gone you wont' believe that ta my school for our e-portfolios we had to use layers we had no choice! Anyway, you don't have to know css or javascript off by heart as a lot of that stuff you can do it manually through dreamweaver and the software nits the code for you ;)
Dreamweaver is not a hard software to use it is very easy to get a grip of. The uploading procedure is now easier than it used to be and managing your website is even more easier than it used to be. I like the dreamweaver because you don't get screw ups in your layout as the dreamweaver works very precisse. With dreamweaver you can create a log in script, members database, pod casts, forms and polls. I use dreamweaver and my friend who manages his 4 websites professionally uses it too. I recommend it to evryone who wants to do web design via professional software. I rate it 10/10 as it is just a Great product you can but dreamweaver for about $399 but if you don't have that kind of money get dreamweaver CS3 or CS2 they are awesome is well. Test it out download trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/ and see for yourselves. Damian Gaslawski...signing off.
Photoshop is the best software if you want to be a professional designer. I've never met a person who wasn't pleased with what photoshop has to offer. Photoshop has many features too long to list but some of them are the extended number of effects, also it is now easier to create better designs. Editing images is extremely easy with photoshop you can create more crazy stuff without being limited. My good friend of my who does photographing at important events he uses photoshop to edit and add crazy stuff for videos. People often don't use photoshop because they say that it is too complicated to use and you will be limited and also they complain about the file size of their designs. They are just talking a load of rubbish I guarantee that their designs wont be nearly as good as they will create them on photoshop.
If you want to get into web design or image creating photshop is a software right for you it is very good for creating rollover buttons, banners, logos and templates. It work really well with software's like BB Edit and dreamweaver. In addition the designs created ,in photoshop will add a lot of contrast to your web designs. The work that is produced in photoshop is also very well presentable in Internet browsers such as Internet explorer and Mozilla FireFox.
One day I will create a video review of some cool features photoshop CS4 has to offer. If you think photoshop will be too hard for you to grasp then watch some video tutorials by Lynda.com or just google some and I'm sure you'll find a lot of them. I rate this software 10/10. Judge for yourselves download a trial version from adobe website the price of Photoshop CS4 is about $700. Damian Gaslawski...signing off.
- OLED screen
- 3G Data Speed
- True GPS!
- iChat Camera!
- Removable battery(which is just a great improvement)
- Standard Headphone jack (finally yay!)
- 3.2 Mega pixel camera video cape able
- 32GB capacity
- Messaging Light
I think this is the device of the year and it will be perfect for business men as well as people who will use it as a device to play around a bit. But although there are so many cool new features this will affect the battery greatly the new iPhone's battery will probably last no longer than 2-3 days. Still this is an awesome device. Unfortunately I don't have enough details about it to rate it but now we just have to wait till that beauty comes out! Damian Gaslawski...signing off.
Fruity Loops is the easiest software to make music
comparing to garage band is far better. You don't need to be an expert musician to use it you just add simple notes on the beats. One of the nice features I like in FL8 is that you can add better effects and compose more professional compositions. If you are a person who seeks for a good software to create sound track for your rapping. Or if you like more pop music or disco this is a great software to produce your tracks here.
If you like playing with it just for fun is the best software there is in terms of how easy it is to use but if you want to take it more towards professional level this software may have some limits in terms of creativity. I used to enjoy playing with the older versions but I felt that i was limited in producing more rock style of music. My favorite feature in FL8 is the range both plug ins you can use to 'spice' up your music.
Overall I think it is great software for beginner and for those more advanced, but for professionals I recommend soft wares like Sibelius. Judge for yourselves download demo version for free (but the only problem with the demo version is that you apparently cannot save your work). Go to http://flstudio.image-line.com/documents/download.html to download the demo version. You can buy FL studio 8 for about $100 or £80. Looking closely at this software I rate it 8/10.

Super Talent recently has produced its new solid state drive called ultra drive. Solid state drives have several advantages over standard hard drives, they work at lower temperatures, faster access times, they're much more reliable as they don't don't have any moving parts, are tougher and silent. In addition they are also light weight, they don't use as much power. Unfortunately solid state drives have still some disadvantages over standard hard drives for example they have low capacity, they're much more expensive and the CPU usage are higher.
These are the results compared to standard hard drive and ultra drive:
Standard HD: Read access time: 6.8ms; Read CPU usage: 6.3%; read result: 178MB/s; write access time: 6.8ms; write result time: 171MB/s; Write CPU usage: 3.8%.
Super Talent Ultra drive 126GB SSD : Read access time: 0.1ms; Read CPU usage: 7.3%; read result: 199MB/s; write access time: 0.1ms; write result time: 182MB/s; Write CPU usage: 7.9%. So overall as you see the performance from this solid state drive is awesome. If you have the money and you not that much concerned over lower capacities I defiantly recommend with no doubt getting this ultra drive. I rate it 9/10- Great product. Price: you can buy Ultra drive ssd 128GB for about $299. Damian Gaslawski...signing off
