Justin Beiber
Justin Beiber
Pop singer Justin Bieber was barely into his teens when he released his platinum-selling debut, My World, and became one of 2009's youngest success stories. An Ontario, Canadian native, Bieber had placed second in a local singing competition two years prior. His mother began posting his performances, which were mainly love songs, on YouTube. The videos caught the attention of Scooter Braun, a talent agent and former So So Def marketing executive, who helped Bieber gain an impromptu audition with the R&B star Usher. Impressed by what he saw, Usher -- along with Island/Def Jam chairman L.A. Reid -- quickly signed the 15-year-old Bieber to a recording contract.
Bieber released his first single, "One Time," in May 2009. Supported by a popular video that featured an appearance by Usher, "One Time" went platinum in both Canada and America, a feat that was replicated later that year with the release of My World. The disc was technically an EP featuring only seven songs, but it reached number six on the Billboard 200 album chart and sold over a million copies. Less than a year after his debut, Bieber returned with the "second half" of My World, a ten-song release titled "My World 2.0". Further demonstrating his and his management's marketing power, over 8,000 fans who pre-ordered My World 2.0 had their head shots used in a photo mosaic (formed to look like a portrait of Bieber) displayed on the back side of the disc's booklet.
At this year of 2010, Justin Bieber is a 16 year old singer who especially has a very strong teenage female following .
Windows 7

The first thing you'll notice about Windows 7 is that it looks like Vista. It also works like Vista, in the sense that it has the same plumbing underneath, except for a very welcome graphics upgrade to DX11. However, it works much better than Vista, and most of Vista's annoyances have either been removed, or (mostly) can be changed so the system works the way you like. It takes personalisation to extremes.
Microsoft has analysed the data from millions of user computing sessions to find out exactly what people do with their computers, then attacked the "pain points" to make Windows 7 quicker and smoother. (About 15 million people used the Windows 7 beta.)
The most obvious difference is that Windows 7 doesn't keep annoying you with prompts — though it's also true that the latest version of Vista is much less annoying than the original. In fact, you can set the degree of annoyance on a sliding scale, though reducing it increases the risk of security breaches. However, Windows 7 is vastly more secure than XP and, in any case, the threat landscape has changed since XP was trashed by worms such as Blaster and Slammer. Today, the more important security changes are in the Internet Explorer 8 browser which, uniquely, defends against cross-site scripting.
Another obvious difference is that Windows 7 uses fewer resources.
Where Vista really needed 2GB of memory, Windows 7 will run quite happily in 1GB on a slow dual-core Intel processor, though I'd still recommend 2GB or, for preference, 4GB with the speedy 64-bit version of Windows 7.
The reduced footprint and some optimisation means Windows 7 sleeps and wakes up faster (though it's still not in the same class as Mac OS X).
And laptop batteries should last longer. I've been running Windows 7 on an Asus UL30 laptop with a claimed battery life of around 11 hours with Vista: it now does more than 12 hours.
Any PC that currently runs Vista will be better at running Windows 7 – a first for Microsoft – and it should also run on most PCs that will run XP SP2. (Search YouTube and you will find users showing off by loading it on unsuitable systems, including antiques with Pentium III chips.) The catch is that upgrading a PC running Windows XP requires a clean installation of Windows 7: you can't do an in-place upgrade. This has been a source of complaints, because it means reinstalling all your applications as well.
However, we've known for a dozen years that a clean installation of Windows usually works better, and geeks have generally recommended it.
Indeed, people used to reinstall Windows 95, 98 or Me just to clean up their systems, so it's silly to get hysterical about it now.
The Windows 7 interface has a few noticeable changes. First, the Vista sidebar has gone, but you can still use the clock and other gadgets, and you can position them wherever you like. Second, the QuickLaunch area and the TaskBar have been replaced by a sort of combo-pack.
Instead of putting applications in the QuickLaunch area, you can now right-click and pin them to the new-style Taskbar, alongside running applications.
As in Vista, hovering over a Taskbar icon shows one or more mini-previews, depending on how many windows you're using, except now they're interactive. Hovering over a mini-preview shows it full size on the desktop, while right-clicking provides a Jump List of options.
It makes it dramatically easier to see what you are doing. However, if you are an inveterate Alt-Tabber, that shows the same mini-previews. And if you liked Vista's Flip 3D feature, that's still an option.
Incidentally, you can now move TaskBar icons around to change the order, like browser tabs. As I always try to keep XP TaskBar items in the same order, I find this useful. It's a small point, but Windows 7 has lots of small points, and they add up.
There are a few party tricks that Windows 7 users can show their friends, such as Aero Snaps, Aero Peek and Aero Shake. Aero Snaps lets you put two applications side by side for easy comparison and copy-and-paste. Aero Peek makes open windows temporarily transparent so you can see what's on your desktop. Aero Shake means that if you shake a window, all the other windows will disappear. All are both useful and fun.
The My Documents section has been reorganised under one heading, Libraries. This includes Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos, with Windows 7 sorting things into these "shell folders". Each of these has two subfolders, such as My Music and Public Music. This makes it easier to keep stuff you want to share away from stuff you want to keep to yourself.
Sharing is an important part of Windows 7. It has a HomeGroup feature that makes it very easy to set up a home network and share things. It only works with Windows 7 machines, which I expect will sell a few family packs of Windows 7 (three copies of Home Premium for £149.99).
Right-click a photo, for example, select Share, and this gives you four options: Nobody, HomeGroup (Read), HomeGroup (Read/Write) and Specific People. "Plays to" lets you display a video, for example, on a different PC.
Support for the consumer electronics industry's DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) standard should help Windows 7 PCs work with other devices, though I've yet to see an example.
There are also some "location awareness" features where Windows 7 figures out where you are — on a home network or an office network, for example — and selects the appropriate printer. There's a section of the control panel, Location and Other Sensors, where sensors can be installed and controlled. One example is "adaptive brightness": if your PC has a light sensor, Windows 7 will adjust the screen brightness to match.
Multi-touch is also supported, if you have the hardware to take advantage of it. There is an emerging flood of laptops with multi-touch pads and new all-in-ones with multi-touch screens, but it remains to be seen whether these will be successful.
When it comes to Windows applications, the very old ones have been dramatically improved. Paint and WordPad now have "ribbon interfaces" like Office 2007, and both the Calculator and command shell (PowerShell) are much more powerful than before. Technically, several standard applications have also been removed from the operating system, though I expect most PC manufacturers will install them.
What Microsoft has done is decouple the Windows Live Essentials suite of applications – Mail, Messenger, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, etc – from the operating system. It means the Live programs can be updated from the web every six or nine months, or whatever, instead of on a three-year operating system development cycle. It also reduces the attack area for anti-trust complaints.
But one thing that's missing from Windows 7 is the Microsoft Security Essentials anti-virus program, formerly codenamed Morro. You get Windows Defender and an improved firewall, but Microsoft appears to be too scared of the European Commission to do what would be best for users and include anti-virus software as well. As it is, specialist anti-virus companies install trial versions on new PCs, and pay PC manufacturers very handsomely for the distribution. If Microsoft did the right thing and defended users for nothing, it would upset the financial applecart.
All round, then, Windows 7 is generally good, and some Windows fans reckon it's better than Apple's Mac OS X. It's certainly easier to use than Mac OS X if you are already familiar with the Windows way of doing things. Also, Windows 7 – released to companies on August 6 – has so far proved to be a lot less buggy than Apple's Snow Leopard, which has even lost users' data.
If you dig into Windows 7 you will, of course, find numerous relics from the past, going right back through Windows 95 to DOS.
There are lots of inconsistencies that still need cleaning up.
However, Microsoft's business depends on running millions of programs that stretch back decades, supporting vast numbers of peripherals, and providing a platform for thousands of competing manufacturers who make everything from handhelds and tablet PCs to racks of data-centre mainframes. That's just the baggage Windows carries.
But with luck you will not see too many of these relics, and on the surface, Windows 7 is impressively smooth.
I'm a full-time Windows XP user who didn't upgrade to Vista on my two main PCs, but I can't see a good reason for sticking with XP now that it looks doomed. I've bought a cut-price Amazon Windows 7 Pro upgrade for my desktop, and I'm planning to buy a new Windows 7 laptop to replace my very old ThinkPad X31.
Windows 7 is a long way from being perfect, and it's not an essential upgrade if you're happy with XP. But nor is there a real reason to avoid it. Windows 7 is simply the best version of Windows you can get.

Doctor Who
Doctor Who
Doctor Who (BBC One, Saturday) is a peculiarly British institution, and the appointment of a new Doctor has led to a peculiarly British kind of kerfuffle. The climax of 18 months of speculation as to who might be Who, followed by a thermonuclear BBC marketing campaign that would make Pravda proud, came on Saturday, and – Radiophonic Workshop drumroll please – it was pretty darned good.
The plot was predictably delirious. There was a crack in a wall that turned out to be – wouldn’t you just know it – a crack in the very fibre of the universe.A prisoner had escaped from another galaxy on to planet Earth, and the alien race who had lost their captive reasoned that the best way to nullify the threat was to incinerate our world in its entirety, like running out a bath to get rid of a spider.
What happened next largely eluded me, but the upshot was that 30 minutes in to the programme there were 20 minutes until the end of the world.
But frankly, the end of the world was small beer compared to the real story here – the establishment of Matt Smith, the most famous newly famous man in the world, as the new Doctor. And Gallifrey be thanked, Smith is a man who could have been born with a stripy scarf round his neck. It’s there in his physiognomy – his face is made up of as many disparate workings as the Tardis. He has a redoubtable cartoon chin offset by a hyperactive quiff, deep-set eyes and an almost Neanderthal brow. Essentially, the Doctor is meant to be a mad alien, and Smith looks like one before he even opens his mouth. By the end of episode one he was bedizened in a suitably daft public-school geography-teacher ensemble of bow tie and tweed jacket.
It was ridiculous but it felt right: mad, alien, brand new but very old. A+ to the casting director. A+ to Smith.
Karen Gillan, as his sidekick Amy Pond, was a fine foil. The role of the companion in Doctor Who is not a million miles away from that of the viewer. Be scared, but essentially trust the Doctor and enjoy the ride. Gillan, to use the X Factor argot, 110 per cent nailed it. Ballsy, bewildered, aghast and simultaneously delighted, she only let the sisterhood down by gambolling around in a skirt the size of a placemat. For everything else, A+ again.
Looking carefully for a nit to pick (if only to stand steadfast against the hype) there was one: this is still high-concept drama done on a comparative shoestring, and at times it showed. In a post-Avatar world, or even in a post-Who Framed Roger Rabbit? world, BBC budgets and the special effects they can pay for are never quite going to cut it. Thus, the squirming alien escapee, which was meant to look like the alien from Alien, bore a closer resemblance to a soiled draught excluder.
But as with any great writer, Steven Moffat (who, lest we forget, returned from working with Steven Spielberg on Tintin to take up the reins on Who) turned a weakness into a strength.
The draught excluder had the ability to assume human form and generally, it did. People who look normal with the merest hint of total insanity are way more scary than out-and-out CGI ghouls. (Ann Widdecombe saw it in Michael Howard.) So as long as the tone is right and the jeopardy apparent, the less CGI the better. For example, I now have the image of Olivia Colman, that nice actress from Peep Show, momentarily opening her mouth to reveal the teeth of an electric eel, singed on my retina. Clever stuff, Mr Moffat.
Amid all the harum scarum there was even time for some emotional heft. The episode began with a seven-year-old Amelia Pond meeting a man unlike any other who promised he’d be back in five minutes. She packed her bag and waited.
And waited and waited. It took him all of 14 years, by which time Amelia had become Amy and was working as a strippogram. Trust, love, adventure and hopes dashed, all neatly summarised by a shot of a little girl sitting on a suitcase waiting for a Police Box to crash-land in her garden once again.
That wasn’t the only stirring scene. In an audacious piece of scripting for a piece of teatime TV, towards the end Doctor Eleven found himself standing eyeball to eyeball, literally, with the forces of total destruction. His response was to summon up the spirit of resistance in the form of the faces of Doctors One to Ten, Hartnell to Troughton to Tennant. It was a magnificent coup, reminding you of the entire legacy of the series and then passing that legacy onto Matt Smith. And it served a purpose both in Saturday’s episode and for future plot lines, too: any aliens thinking about having a pop at humankind were politely reminded that Earth has at least one everlasting defender. If they would like to see what he’s capable of then they should refer to BBC One on Saturdays.
Why I Hate Police Men
Why I Hate Policemen!
I hate policemen because once I was in this store and I was buying a taco. I walked outside and dropped it and since I had another one. So I decided to leave the other one on the street until, This policeman came over and said "Well Well Well what do we have here looks like a taco on ajumbo" and then he started to yell and give meboring lectures. Then he took me to get a lie detector test and said you can't handle the truth (The guy is crazy) the officer was saying some random things and got sent to a place for crazy people! Thats why I hate policemen!!!
ICarly
Dear Fellow Webbers:There's a new web show online that's fast becoming super-popular. It's called iCarly and, I must admit, it's FANTASTIC. The show's star, Carly, is a very funny and HOT girl. Her co-host is the SPICY Sam, who is also very funny. Carly and Sam are hilarious together. Their witty banter (which means "funny conversations") even had ME chortling out loud ("chortling" means "laughing"). Carly + Sam = HOT N' SPICY -- and that's just how I like my web shows. ;)
The show looks and sounds great, thanks to their technical producer, Freddie. He's an expert camera-man, and he's quite talented with audio and lighting and such.
There are many web shows on the internet, but iCarly is the funniest and most entertaining. You never know what clever thing Carly and Sam will do next, and that's what makes iCarly such a joy to watch.
My only complaint is that Carly needs a boyfriend. Perhaps someone like me. She knows my email address. ARE YOU LISTENING, CARLY?
