Should we wait to buy a Windows 7 computer or buy one now? Have a read here for some of the best tips: Click Here

Lucky for current Vista users, they can upgrade for free, but in a given time space. So the question is, should you buy a laptop now or wait for Windows 7?

PSP Go

Basically, the new PSP Go has a new, sleek design compared to the rest of the range.

The PSP Go has a 3.8-inch wide screen. The Go will offer 16GB of built-in flash memory, and it’s expandable via a Memory Stick Micro (M2) slot. While the layout may be different, the control scheme on the PSP Go is little changed from earlier PSP models: a four-way d-pad on the left, the standard quartet of geometrically coded Sony controls (circle, square, cross, triangle) on the right, select/start buttons in the center, and the PlayStation “home” button to the left of the screen. In addition to Wi-Fi support, the PSP Go adds Bluetooth capability to the Sony handheld platform for the first time. That should allow standard Bluetooth headsets to pair with the PSP Go. Again, it appears the existing interoperability between the PS3 and the PSP line will be carried over to the PSP Go.

Your Future

Concentrate

Ever find it hard to concentrate? Well, for me, occasionally. And when it comes to things like exams and you can’t concentrate, you basically “stuffed”. But I have whipped up a few tips to “help” you concentrate.

1. Find a set place where you feel comfortable (not in front of the TV, please) and keep it that way. Obviously, avoid your cellphone or telephone and in the vicinity, put up a sign to avoid being disturbed or interrupted. Music may also help, but, keep to music that has limited words.

2. Stick to a routine/planner or an efficient study schedule. You should accommodate your day/nighttime energy levels with certain meals in a set time.

3. Prior to studying, spare a few minutes to jot down a few objectives, gather what you will need, and think of a general strategy of accomplishment

4. There should always be something that you are working for. Think of an incentive for completing a task, such as calling a friend, a food treat, a walk, etc. You get the idea. For major projects like term papers, design projects, long book reviews, set up a special incentive.

5. Every once in a while, change the subject you study so there is variety and a refreshed brain for each subject. This can also prepare you for exams as it is like a paradox to the layout of examinations.

6. Sitting in front of the computer or at a desk reading a novel for hours is boring. Dead Set. Alternate reading with different learning techniques, like visualizations, props, interactive games etc.

7. Consider different learning techniques meaning how you could increase your activity level while studying. You could incorporate group work or even create study cards.

8. You should always take regular, scheduled breaks that fit you. You should end up doing something different from what you’ve been doing. This could be just walking or even just moving to a different area.

9. Breaking up your time and giving goals is essential. Say we have a 1000 word essay and you have 5 days to complete. Think about it as 200 words per day. Maybe theres 4 hours in the day which you can complete it so 50 words per hour is a goal. This is realistic so you can complete tasks of that nature.

10. Finally, the most important. Reward yourself at the end of the whole unit of work. This is different to incentives as incentives are for completing small parts that lead up to the completion of the whole work.

Hopefully, you will see an improvement in your studies thus exams and majors. Oh and by the way, this has to be implemented over a period of time, not just one day.

Thanks for reading and please give feedback.
