Difference Between Ireland and UK!!

Internet Providers, and the choice in the UK is amazing compared the Ireland, Currently I am with Virgin Media, and this package includes, 10MB broad band, Basic TV package, phone Line and free landline week end calls for the low price of £25 a month.


Back in Ireland, the package that I settle for was from NTL, this includes phone,TV and broad band- However the price is 74 Euros..

Why is Ireland so expensive??????

Stethoscope Shopping!

Well I have some bad news, I lost my Stethoscope!!! BOO

As a medical student/health professional a stethoscope is your main tool of investigation. I feel Naked without it!!!

I have search the web for supplier and I have decide to buy a Littmann Classic II SE  again. But this time I have used the engraving services to place my name on the bell. So if I ever loose it again or is taken from me, Hopefully I will get it Back.


The web site that I used to purchase this is

They have a range of Medical and I will be using them again in the future.

Here is a pic of the Stethoscope

Nexus One

Back at the CES Consumer Electronic Show, in January Google announced the Arrival of the Nexus One aka a Google phone.

The Nexus One ( N1) is built by HTC. HTC or High Tech Computer  communication is a Taiwanese Mobile phone company specialising in smartphone. They have been producing phone for a while most until recently have been using the Window of Microsoft operating system. Recently they have developed phone to utilise the Google mobile operating system Android.

Fact: The first Android Phone T mobile T1, which was released ( well within the uk) was a rebranded   HTC phone.

 

Well back to present day.

Google have now decided to add their name to phone. And it is the Nexus One. One again produced by HTC.

Well Currently the Nexus One can only be purchased from directly from Google only.  Currently it is $529 Sim Free as can be seen at this buy Nexus one link. using http://www.xe.com/ Currency exchange this amount to about 389 Euros or £347. (at the moment).

Well it is cheaper if you buy with a contract, but currently this is only available in the USA. Look at the buy link above.

So what about us in Europe. Well we can pay the sim free price if you really want to have this phone asap.
Goolge have intended to release it during March. However it is more likely that the release with a contracted hopefully until April. It will be on the Vodafone Network.

Note although the Nexus is coming very soon, is it value for money as HTC have released the Desire and Legend.

HTC Legend

 

Well, This all depends on the various deals yet to be released. So it a wait and see, but do we have a whold lot of options.

Chrome Vs Firefox.

I finally downloaded Chrome. I am very impressed!! Really I am very impressed. It is very fast and quick to load up. Well done Google. Hopefully google will release a full non beta version soon. So it will be a while before I run Internet Explorer.

I find even Explorer 8 a bit slow.

Also I have downloaded the new firefox system 3.6. It seem a lot quicker then the older version that I used.But the most interesting fact about this program is that I downloaded it form a yahoo search and the default search engine is yahoo.

Here is a pic of it?

I will be trying the two for the next few weeks and I will you informed.

Yahoo doogle???

I don't know if this is the correct term. Google have been know to animate or alter their logo to celebrate events see the blog http://www.googlefrontanimation.blogspot.com/. On a recent visit to the yahoo home page I found a new animation that yahoo are doing today. I have no Idea if yahoo have ever done it before, but here is it if you missed it.

Well it is an animation and I have managed to capture it using the CaptureWiz program that I am currently using. I have described this program in my blog about Mindmapping. Here is the link where I downloaded the program. CaptureWizPro.

I will try and add the videos at a later date. I am having problems adding the video.

What I have been doing??

Well all I have good new. I have passed my Phase 1 Medical exams here in University. After a week of celebrating I have come back with a bang to earth.

Phase 2 and the world of working in a hospital begins soon.
Also ~I have started another blog, related to the last post of Google Doogles. I have been a bit busy on this as currently google are celebrating the winter olympics by varying their front page google logo to celebrate the event
