The Wonders of Facebook

It's taken me a while, but i now see the wonders of facebook. I had a page on Myspace for a while, but the novelty wore off pretty quick.

Myspace is great for personalising, but for the technically inept, a site looks pretty bland, and too make anything intersting requires some computer knowledge. However facebook seems to bypass this. Although remaining customisable, its very user freindly. there are some very odd applications about to make your page that little bit more interesting.

The other thing that sets this site apart, was the ease of which you can find friend and colleagues (well in the uk anyway). You can import from many email accounts, or csv/tsv files, you can search by name and you can search by place/organisation.

There are a millions of extremely funny, weird and pointless groups to join reminding you that you are normal after all! I think this site deserves a 9/10 for usablitly and functionality. Im addicted. Give it a try.

The Bourne Ultimat....

The day i have been waiting for for the last month arrived, the long awaited release of the bourne ultimatum, shortly followed by the CAM release. Sunday morning, i trawled the net, and before long had found a copy entitled the.bourne.ultimatum.cam.2bros.rar, an hour later the download had finished, but decided to wait until the evening for the atmosphere to be more fitting.

I settled down swirched on, and sat to enjoy, overall the quality was poor. a very small resolution with half the cinema inshot. after a while, i learnt to ignore the exit sign glowing in the left hand of the picture.

The film itself, is as fast paced and as edgey as the first 2 installments, although the shaky camera work and choppy editing, left me feeling fatigued after a while. in true Bourne fashion, it does not disappoint with ample car chase scenes, and special effects. The plot is consistent with the previous installements, and is a relatively natural progression from the last 2 films. However, the copy i downloaded ended with around 10 minutes left of the film.

I have since downloaded a complete copy, and the last 10 minutes are equally as good, as the previous 90!

Whoever uploaded the incomplete copy, is a tosser to say the least. It ruined completely ruined the film for me. but hey. A close freind of mine is sure that its a ploy by the Film makers to put people off downloading newly released films, but im not so sure. There are always a few morrons!

Anyway i have tried not to ruin this for anyone by revealing details, but i definately recommend this film to anyone. 9/10.
