    Tech Mac vs. PC?

    Yes it is true about Apple software being closed sourced. That to me is a small price to pay for the simple GUI and powerful processor. I have never had a virus on my Mac and it has never crashed or hanged- something that was fairly common with my previous Windows based laptop. I am #teammac all...

    Tech Do you prefer taking pictures using your smartphone?

    I really don't. My phone has an 8 megapix camera but the my pictures always have an element of blurriness unless taken up close. Don't even get me started on the flash settings. My phones the Samsung Galaxy SII and I wonder if anyone else has this problem.

    Tech What kind of computer do you own?

    I have a Macbook Pro and this was the first product by Apple that I have ever owned. It's true what they say, once you go Mac, you never go back :) I find it so difficult to use Windows-based computers nowadays because I have become so accustomed to my Mac. The only thing I don't like about it...

    Adult Swim

    I Love adult swim. My favorite shows are Super Jail, Robot Chicken, Squidbillies and Moral Orel. Things are so much funnier when animated.

    Sons Of Anarchy

    I LOVED sons of anarchy. It's really good during the first two seasons but starts to taper off from season 3. But that's with all series' isn't it. It's a little violent but pure in it's storytelling. You can relate to the lead character Jax Teller's struggle to leave a life of crime and go...

    General Discussion Revealing clothes

    My partner doesn't mind my wearing revealing clothes at all. And because of that, I don't feel the need to wear them out of respect for him. Since he respects my choices, I dress appropriately so that he is not embarrassed by what I wear. If he were to have a problem, I would probably wear...

    Tech What type of cell phone do you own?

    I have two cell phones. One is a Samsung Galaxy SII and the other is a Blackberry Bold. My blackberry is for office work and my samsung is for personal use and play. I don't like the Samsung much.. I think it's a downgrade from my previous phone Motorola Atrix 4G. I loved that phone but it was...

    Tech How long does your cell phone battery last without charging?

    It depends on what I'm doing, If the Wi-Fi is on and the screen display is set to bright, It won't last more than four hours. If the screen is dim and Wi-Fi off, It lasts for more than 10 hours. Last night it was at 14% and I was in bed, too lazy to get up and charge it, so I put the brightness...

    Music Justin, Justin, Justin

    Justin Bieber's recent behaviour really baffles me. It seems like he transformed overnight from a loveable crooner to a confused bad boy. His antics seem a little bit too odd to be publicity stunts. I think the pressure from his career and his break up with Selena Gomez unhinged him a little...

    Dexter

    I watched Dexter from start to finish and I really liked it for two reasons, 1. Dexter is a killer but you can't help rooting for him. 2. You never know what will happen next. I found that the show had enough plot twists to keep you coming back for more. Right up to the series finale, you just...

    Music What Is Happening To Music?

    I agree with this. Good music is out there, it's just not mainstream. What is on the radio is what the music industry considers to be popular and commercially viable. So I agree that what is being pushed out in albums and on the radio leaves a lot to be desired, but that doesn't mean that music...

    General Discussion Don't Lecture Me! Science Finds Traditional Lectures Fail Students

    I didn't need a study to tell me that, I find that classes where there are more activities and application of the teachings to real life situations stuck more than classes where the teacher stood at the front of the class, droned, scribbled on the board and droned again. The sad thing is that...

    General Discussion Italian Prisoners' Sentences Reduced for Every Book They Read in Jail

    Hmm. Sounds noble especially for non-violent and first time offenders. I imagine this scheme serves to decongest prisons with petty offenders and hopefully encourage literacy and creative thinking amongst inmates. The question of checks and balances arise. How will the prison authorities...

    Books Goosebumps Series

    I remember growing up we would always swop goosebumps books amongst each other in class and read them when the teacher was not looking. They were so popular that we would be given really short time slots to read them and since there was always someone waiting to get their hands on them, you...

    Books eBooks or physical copies?

    I initially hated e-books because I felt they took away from the traditional charm of physically turning pages or bookmarking sections by folding the top edge of a page. Then I started reading E-books in waiting rooms and on buses and suddenly those periods of time where I was previously...
