What More Would You Like To Learn

I really want to learn how to edit the movie, DVD, Video and music. I'm really interested in editing and directing. I like the CM of Shiseido, which is CM of lotion. It is not only a CM but also a story. It makes me sad, but it is a CM that makes me positive. The story is this...

A woman was dumpt by her crush, she already knew that she couldn't make it. However, the morning always comes, and she realized that she can't stop her life. She doesn't have anyone who can help her, so she decided to get over this tragety cleansing her mind using the Shiseido

lotion to become a new woman...

Isn't it good story? The music fits for this CM, and the image is simple so it interests me more.

You should see it!!!

Computer Terms: Viral Video

Viral is the commercial message limited on the Internet. It is spread from the United Kingdom.
It is limited because its content is excessive, and it won't be able to broadcast it on television. However, it can televise on the Internet because there is no regulation, so the expression is all depending on the creator. Yes, the viral video is extreame!
The word "viral" came from the word "virus." The meaning of it is bush telegraph because of the way of commercial. It expands like the virus on the Internet. For example, the famous one is CM of Mini, which is a car made in the UK. The CM is like this...

Mini was used for the suicide bomb attack in front of many people. However, Mini was too strong, so the victim was only the terrorist.

You know, it is too much to televise on the TV, but it is possible to do on the Internet. It is fun, but it is dangerous for us that we can see anything on the Internet, and there is no rule for it.

What Will Computers Be Like in the Future?

I think computer will be developed more. It will be able to read human's mind, so it will work without our finger. It automatically perceives what we want to do, such as open the Microsoft word, and type what we are thinking. Therefore, what we need to do in make up the idea. Computer will give us advices to get work better. However, computer will brainwash human being. It is like the movie, such as Spiderman 2 or I, Robot. Computer will have the sense, emotion and thought. Then, they will control human to work. I think strength of balance will change in the future. People might die out because of the devises which we innovated.

I know I'm watching too much movie, but I sometimes think that it is a warning for us. We should think about the innovations. They are useful, but are these really good for us?

Apple News!!!

Apple Started to Recycle iPod for Environment

According to the AP, Apple Computer in the US announced that they started to collect needless iPod for recycle free at the 100 Apple Store in the US. It is an act as a part of ecology movement because they were critiseized for passive attitude for protention of nature. They just threw away the needless iPod as a garbage. In this act, customers who go to recyle are able to buy a new iPod getting a 10% discount. In Japan, Europe, Taiwan and Korea, they don't charge for the recycling for the customer, but in the US, it has been big problem because iPod brought a lot of rubbish. Therefore, people should think about the aftercare for innovating useful technology.


BMW, Start to Sell the New Connector for iPod

According to BMW Japan, they announced that they started to sell the new exclusive connector
for iPod which is corresponding to all BMW cars. Last March, they set the connector for the BMW X3, Z4, Series 3 and Mini. However, this time it fits for BMW Series 1, 5, 6,7 and the new BMW Series 3. Therefore, if you buy the BMW, you can have nice music in the car stereo using iPod, iPod nano, iPod photo and iPod mini.

Net Neutrality

It is a new rule of the Internet that the United States really worried about. The telecommunication policy thinks that the Internet service providers which are like Google and Yahoo favor their own Web Sites or other applications. This rule is trying to keep them fair. They limit the access to each sites and prevent the charging of phone conpanies. Well, I don't really know what it means. However, if the our access of the Internet is limitted, what will happen? It means that the investimate of the Internet will be limitted because the the definition of the Net Neutrality is vague. The investimate of it should be used for the high speeded Internet for the future. However, if it is not be able to be real, they won't get money, so there is a risk that the whole Internet service will be much slower. I have no idea what is the good point of this controversial argument today.

Three Favorite Web Sites!

My three favorite web sites are...

You Tube <http://www3.youtube.com/index>

It is a web site that you can see the animations. There are many funny and goofy animation, images that on the air TV as a news, funny happening video that people took and promotion video of the artist and so on...
You can search any topic you want. Here is a my favorite animation...

He is a famous tennis player, Andy Roddick, who is a best surver in the world hit the ball, but I don't know somehow the ball sank in the tennis court... I have never seen like this!!! Maybe his survice was too strong!


Official Site for Lost <http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index>

This is a TV drama in the United States called Lost. It is a survival and suspenseful story. Oneday, the airplane crashed, and 44 people could make their lives, and they live in the island, but there are many danger in there... you can see how they survive and face to their conflict of the past.
You can watch this in Japan, of course. You can watch it BS-i(Thursday @ 21:00-22:00) or you can lend DVD @ lental video shop.

The Best Movie Site <http://movies.go.com/>

I think it is the best web site for the movie. You can search any movies that is not in Japan yet, and you can see the Box-Office, which is the lanking of the movie. You might want to check whether you want to see it at the theater, if so, you can check the preview of the movie. furthermore, you can read the News about the movie star including gossip! There are many movies that are NOT shown at the theater in Japan. However, they might be DVD, so if you want to see it, you can check it HERE!!! Then run to the shop!

Computer Gift for Someone Special

I don't know if it is computer or not... CELL PHONE!!! I think cell phone became like computer these days because one type from Willcom is almost like a computer. Well, so I think I can include it as a computer, can't I ???
I would buy a cell phone to my teacher from high school because whenever I want to contact him, I can't get him, and I can't talk to him right away. He was a teacher who taught me in tennis club at high school. When I was high school student, I had tennis meet a lot, and I had to go to many places in Kanagawa prefecture where I live. Sometimes I needed to call him when I was in trouble or announce how I did on the match. However, it never happened. I often call his home, but usually I can't get him. If he had a cell phone, it will be much easy to talk to him. Also, he transferred from my high school to another school last April, and I sometimes need his help for tennis team. By the way, I am a coach for tennis team now instead of him. It will be easier if he can send me an e-mail or make phone call. That's why I want to buy a cell phone for him. Actually, his birthday is coming up, so I might buy one for him... Just kidding!

Social Engineering

Social Engineering, which is also called "social hacking" and "social cracking", is the way to steal important security information from the network user or manager, such as password and other personal information. The ways of theft are eavesdropping on the conversation and peep at the information in the computer. This deed doesn't injure the computer itself, however, it hurts people's feeling and damage companies.

The popular modus operandi is this; Stand behind the person when he/she is typing password, and steal it by watching. Furthermore, Forage the garbage after someone throw away the important personal information or password. Moreover, this method is used for "Oreore sagi", which is the fraud that someone pretends the relative of someone, and deceives the relative to get money, it became one of big social problem in Japan. The way of it is pretending friend or friend's family, and ask the address and phone number of classmates.

These swindles really happen around us, so what we should do is not telling our personal information to other people especially if I don't a person who asked me to tell the information. It is not exception for the companies, they need to strengthen the security system.

Aspiration for Computer

I want to be a skillful user of computer in the classes and business in the future. As I mentioned, I can only use it to research and write for the assignments, but in the presence world, people must be able to use it for the business, such as management for the personal information, creating new ideas, designing, editing and so on..., which means if I can't use it as a business woman, I won't be able to get a job. I'm interested in the media, so if I get a job in the television company, I definitely need it for my job. Also, I'm really interested in the movie, such as how to edit the movie, how to create a commercial message, how to design the poster of the movie and how to create the computer graphics because it is the progress of the movies, and I really want to know about it to find out how the movie is made. Moreover, those effects are made by computers, and computers bring us new imagination of movies. Therefore, I'm really interested in supporting the creation of movie by computers. For now, I must practice how to use it for the class, and I want to master the basic usage of it. Furthermore, I want to learn it deeply for my professional skills for the future. Step by Step!!!

Computers and Me

These days, I have been playing a staring game with a computer. I face it almost every day because of my homework assignments like this!!! I have never studied a computer deeply, however, I have been having a relationship with computer for long time.
When I was an elementary student, I often went to my father’s office, and I played with computer, such as painting and playing Solitaire. At that time, my father didn’t let me use a computer freely because I was too little to use it, so I entertain longing for it. I really wanted to use the Internet and e-mails. After couple of years, computers were introduced into the school, so I learned little bit about usage of Microsoft Word and the Internet. When I was a high school student, I had a computer class, and I made a my home page about tennis team in high school, but that class wasn’t so interested for me because I was always given a manual, and I just followed it, so I didn’t feel I learned it deeply. Therefore, I really want to use it perfectly like Mr. Poza!
Furthermore, when I went to the United States to study abroad, I noticed that how much computer is a wonderful device that people invented because of e-mail. Before it was created, it was difficult to communicate with the family or friends in Japan from the foreign country, but because of it, it’s much easier to have relationship with the family. Some people say that it is not good to communicate with people in Japan, but since there was a computer, I could calm down and feel relax when I was homesick and depressed. I thank for it!
I think I will definitely have relationship with computers rest of my life, so I will try to learn about it carefully and deeply.
