Our website URL
We have created and finished our website.
We used piczo, to put it together...
Come and check out our website.. it's just one mouse click away!

Multimedia devices assignment!
Marina and i had got an ist assighment today and was told that we had to use piczo or pageflakes or anything other site that creates sites.Marina and i deciced to test out the sites for expermenting we made a pageflakes and piczo pages and we came to the conclution of using piczo.
When we had choosen our site we then choose our topics which are the following:
- CPU
- RAM
- Piracy and Copyright-
-DVD/CD
-Handheld
-Graphic cards
We started workng on cpu and are planning to finish the others in time, we are working together as they say two brains better as one :)
In todays lesson we go working on our ist assighment and finshed up cpu and worked on the rest copyright and priacy .dvd/cd, hanld devices.We had turns doing each topic and managed to get it quicker that way.
In todays lesson we worked on our last 2 topics and managed to finish before the lesson ended.We ahve completed our ist assighment.

UMPC's are Business-class device for enterprise users. They run a "heavy" OS like Vista. They are optimized for office-use applications like Excel, Word, etc.
MID's are Consumer-class lifestyle devices. They runs a 'lightweight" OS with quick startup like Linux. They are Optimized for things like media playback and web surfing.
Both devices are very similar to eachother.
ASUSeePC 901 One of the leading contenders in the netbook market due to its long battery life, smaller sizing and huge community. Especially interesting for mobile users due to its size.

Bits && Bytes =)
1.What is a Digit
A digit is a single place that can hold numerical values between 0 and 9. Digits are normally combined together in groups to create larger numbers.
2.“normal” counting numbers used in everyday life are based on what sequence of numbers?
They are based on the binary number system
3. Where does the word bit originate from?
The word bit is a shortening of the words "Binary digIT."
4.Binary numbers don’t use base 10. What base do they use? What digits are available in base 2? They use base 2. Digits avaliable in base 2 are increasing powers of 2.
5. What is a byte?
Bits are rarely seen alone in computers. They are almost always bundled together into 8-bit collections, and these collections are called bytes.
6.How many bytes in a kilo, mega, giga and tera bytes.
kilo= 1,024
mega= 1,048,576
giga= 1,073,741,824
tera= 1,099,511,627,776
7.Complete the following conversions;
1000 Mb = 1Gb
500 Gb = 512 000Mb
5000 Kb = 5Mb

Mobile internet Device (MID)
What are the benefits this processor offers mobile devices?
It provides low power and is designed specifically for a new wave of Mobile Internet Devices and simple, low-cost PC's.
enables the latest Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), and another new category of devices for the internet called netbooks and nettops.
Delivers the power and performance you need for full Internet capabilities.
Gives you a new range of power-efficient devices with excellent performance enabled by all new hafnium-infused 45nm high-k silicon technology.
Increases energy efficiency in smaller more compact designs with a thermal design power specification ranging from less than 1W to 2.5 watts for mobile devices.
Extend battery life in select devices with an incredibly low idle and average power allowing the device to stay powered on while also conserving energy.

Dual Core Processors
What is a Dual core prossesor?
Dual-core refers to a CPU that includes two complete execution cores per physical processorIt combines two processors and their caches and cache controllers onto a single integrated circuit(silicon chip).
What is Multitasking?
Multitasking is the ability of an operating system to run more than one program simultaneously, allowing the user to easily switch and share information between applications.
How do they work together?
Since each core has its own cache, the operating system has sufficient resources to handle intensive tasks in parallel, which provides a noticeable improvement to multitasking.

CPU's
1. What is the function of the CPU?
A CPU is a complete computation engine that is fabricated on a single chip.
2. What was the name of the first CPU?
The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004, introduced in 1971.
3. Referring to the graph on page 2 of the article, describe how the speed of CPU’s has changed.
The speed o CPU's has bemome alot faster.
4. What does MIPS measure?
MIPS stands for "millions of instructions per second" and is a rough measure of the performance of a CPU.

Pageflakes =]
What is a Flake? howmany flakes are there?
A flake is a tab, each tab containing user-selected modules called Flakes. Each Flake varies in content; information such as Calendar, Notes, Web search, weather forecast.'
(236 K)
What is a pagecast? View some pagecasts created by others.
Pagecasting means publishing your Pageflakes page for others to see.You can share your Pagecast with the world or with a private group. (145 k )
How could we use a pagecast in the context of our project this term?
We could use it to creare a page for others to see and share it with the group.

shooting the music clip
On Monday afternoon we completed shooting the music clip at Rebecca's house after school.
our movie is now completed and editied, as Christine took at home to edit.
We are at school at the moment and we tried to save the movie as a movie file, but there was a problem!!
Because we saved the movie on vista, it does not open with the school computeres, therefore christine will convert the movie file onto a CD!!

Shooting =]
We have decided that we will use a camera instead of a mobile phone to film.
We are planning to shoot the film on Monday with Christine's camera at Rebecca's house, and be all ready to start filming.
at the moment we are putting the song from Rebecca's phone to the computer by using blue tooth.
we are planning on editing the film on Tuesday and having it all ready by Wednesday the due date.

internet speed
1. What is the speed of the connection from your computer to the Sydney location on the map?
Download= 3206kb/s
Upload= 673kb/s
2. What is the speed of the connection from your computer to the U.S location on the map?
Download= 2867kb/s
Upload= 636kb/s
3. Why did the data transfer rates vary?
I think it varied because the US is further away and therefore it will take longer to download and upload. This is just like when an eight lane highway moves into a two lane highway, as it slows down.
Download= 3206kb/s

kbit/s
3. How much faster is broadband than dial up?
Generally 10-20 times faster
4. What are the speeds that broadband operates at compared to dial up?
Dial-up modem operates at either 28.8 kbit/s or 56 kbit/s.
Broadband connection operates at between 256 kbit/s and 10 Mbit/s.
5. What are some of the advantages of using a broadband connection to download something like a video compared to dial up?
Boardband will allow you to download the vidio very fast, while dial up will take its time downloading the vidio very slowly.

ANIMATOR =)
What does the person in the career do?
An animator produces multiple images known as frames. When the frames are sequenced together quickly, these frames create an illusion of movement known as animation.
Where would you see this person’s work (e.g. in the newspaper, in a game shop)?
I would see animations on the television , the internet and the computer games industry.
What training is needed for the career?
Training to have a hight artistic ability, and they need to be familiar with technical computer packages.
What kind of software and hardware is used?
Software such as Flash, 3d studio max, Maya, Lightwave, Softimage and Cinema 4D is used. Computers are used for the process of making animations.

1) Set a budget before buying your camera- Before deciding on purchasing a digital camera, it is very important to set yourself a budget before visiting an electronics shops.
2) Ignore digital zoom- When buying digital cameras, concentrate on optical zoom, not digital zoom.
3) Small doesn't mean unpowered- Small digital cameras may be exactly what you need.
4) Get a camera with magnified photo reviews- Magnified photo previews can help determine the sharpness of a digital photo.
5) Is there a built in microphone?-A digital camera microphone can provide added benefits to your photo taking.
