Here is my Java Tutorial for This Week

My Citizen app

This application adds a person to a queue using a queue array.It then allows you to see how many people are waiting and who is next in the queue to be dealt with :).

Cloud Music is Here

2012-02-03T19:27:00.001Z

" Your Music on Demand"

We all know about the cloud and how it is going to change everything we use technology wise ,The home computer will be a thing of the past shortly with hand held devices having cloud technology that would better the performance of any computer.However I so still prefer the home computer just my opinion.

This week I came across some interesting gadgets that I thought I would share with you guys.These all are cloud based music centres that will be available.

Amazon Cloud Player

What you do with this is upload your songs to Amazons icloud locked.Then you can stream them to any of your devices,your Pc, Mac or any device that use android.You get 5GB storage for free with this however any song you download direct from amazon doesn't count towards your storage.If you want you can buy more storage space from Amazon and pay yearly up to 1000 GB.

Google Music

You can store up to 20,000 songs with this neat music centre but no more.You can upload songs from anywhere (itunes,android market,google cloud locker).This is great because it is a free service unlike the amazon cloud as you have to pay to increase your storage.Its however US only at the moment but it does take a while to upload the songs,which i find to be a bit of a let down from Google.

Apple Itunes Match

From Itunes(the king of downloads) you are able to stream accross over 10 machines with this cloud on any devices running itunes.Upload any other songs to the icloud as it adds your tunes you have in your library automatically!Brilliant! Songs you buy on Itunes dont count towards your Limit and you can get up to 50gb for just $70 a year.The only con is it downgrades songs that are more that 256kbps.However it is my pick of the three

What you think of these nifty gadgets ,Will they enhance our enjoyment of music?or are they a waste of time?tell me !!:)

how to upload youtube HD videos faster with the same quality

2012-02-01T18:46:00.000Z

Mpeg Stream clip is a fantastic piece of Freeware which allows you to convert HD quality
vids/movies to MP4.When I first senn this I was thinking,"Im probably going to lose a lot of quality to my video by doing this"! It was amazing to me that it was exactly the same quality of
720p HD when I uploaded to youtube.I would recommend this to all you youtubers who do not want to wait 2 and 3 or even 4 hours to upload you vid.If the vid is 20 mins it converts to .mp4 in about 24 mins,If its 5 mins it will take about 8 min to convert.Then it uploads to youtube really fast as it is dosnt have to go through conversion again.Its great!!Check the vid!!

Heres where you can download

If any of you guys have a better way I would love to hear it
peace;)
