A. Top 5 Worst Websites

1. http://yvettesbridalformal.com/


















-color: dirty colors.
-space: no space at all because of the overlapping of the text and colors.
-layout: confusing.
-navigation: can't see them all.
-interactivity: low.
-theme: is that monalisa? how dirty.
-visual identity: dirty..as in DIRTY.


well, i cannot prove this well because the background seems too full and dirty. Well, i can improve this by having a single colored background.






2.http://www.alternativetransportservices.co.uk/
















-color: fine colors.
-space: not too spacious.
-layout: simple text.
-navigation: good.
-interactivity: simple site.
-theme: i cannot identify it well.
-visual identity: it ok for me.

How can i improve it?hmmm.. by resizing the pictures as well as the text colors. I'll change the text color into a single one or by rearranging them one by one.




3.http://www.shakespeares-sonnets.com/















-color: bright.
-space: spacious.
-layout: not too bad.
-navigation: none.
-interactivity: bright sight.
-theme: tribute for Shakespeare?
-visual identity:trash site.


Well, whoever made this site, I can improve this by changing the color of the background because it is bad for the eyes and the text too is matching to the color of the background.



4. http://www.tallyhouniforms.com/















-color: assorted.
-space: none.
-layout: well organized.
-navigation: ok.
-interactivity: captive.
-theme: sky gazers?
-visual identity: it is like a comfort room.

I can improve this by having some lay-outs that are good and comfortable in the eyes of some. Like putting up some marquees and whatsoever.

-color: simply white.
-space: none
-layout: bad.
-navigation: ok.
-interactivity: captive as usual.
-theme: it is like a finder.
-visual identity: pure simplicity.

I can manage to improve this site by having some nice pictures one by one and having the background colored and as well as the texts.

I can prove this site by having some quotations for the rule breakers for them to realize that rules are very important for our safety.

5.http://holiday.gearyi.com/
















-color: simple.
-space: spacious as always.
-layout: unknown identifier?
-navigation: none.
-interactuivity: not user friendly.
-theme: we cannot predict future.
-visual identity: a ball with unknown object.

This should be improved. because it was so spacious at all. I recommend to put some sayings, pictures or any other Use-Friendly Components for the viewer not be bore.

Entry 1: SATA vs. IDE

For me, SATA is the most convenient and most compatible for fast working computers because it has the super speed memory than the IDE(based in my opinion). Because of the Following Details:

The ATA standard dates back to 1986 and is based on a 16-bit parallel interface has undergone many evolutions since its introduction to increase the speed and size of the drives that it can support. The latest standard is ATA-7 which supports data transfer rates up to 133MB/second. According to different articles I’ve found, this standard is supposed to be the last update for this aging technology.

In 2000 it was realized that parallel ATA was reaching the limit of it’s data transfer capability. 133MB/second is the limit of the technology due to data loss and electromagnetic interference. This prompted the invention of the Serial ATA interface (SATA). SATA is a fairly recent standard and has only been around for a few years. Because SATA can support data transfers at about 150MB/second. Future versions of SATA (like SATA 2) will support data transfer of up to a projected 600 MB/second.

Entry 2: CRT vs LCD Monitors

For my Opinion, i would like to use an LCD monitor rather using CRT monitor. Because CRT monitors are easily be damaged because of the frequency waves or whatsoever. If you compare the two, there are huge similarities:

For CRT Monitor:

Sort for cathode-ray tubes, CRT monitors were the only choice consumers had for monitor technology for many years. Cathode ray tube (CRT) technology has been in use for more than 100 years, and is found in most televisions and computer monitors. A CRT works by moving an electron beam back and forth across the back of the screen. Each time the beam makes a pass across the screen, it lights up phosphor dots on the inside of the glass tube, thereby illuminating the active portions of the screen. By drawing many such lines from the top to the bottom of the screen, it creates an entire screen of images.

For LCD Monitor:

Short for liquid crystal display, LCD technology can be found in digital watches and computer monitors. LCD displays use two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them. An electric current passed through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them. Each crystal, therefore, is like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light. Color LCD displays use two basic techniques for producing color: Passive matrix is the less expensive of the two technologies. The other technology, called thin film transistor (TFT) or active-matrix, produces color images that are as sharp as traditional CRT displays, but the technology is expensive.


You can judge the two in your own will. Be smart choosing a good monitor because it's up to you.

Entry 3: Touch Screen Technology

A touchscreen is a display which can detect the presence and location of a touch within the display area. The term generally refers to touch or contact to the display of the device by a finger or hand. Touchscreens can also sense other passive objects, such as a stylus. However, if the object sensed is active, as with a light pen, the term touchscreen is generally not applicable. The ability to interact directly with a display typically indicates the presence of a touchscreen.

The touchscreen has two main attributes. First, it enables one to interact with what is displayed directly on the screen, where it is displayed, rather than indirectly with a mouse or touchpad. Secondly, it lets one do so without requiring any intermediate device, again, such as a stylus that needs to be held in the hand. Such displays can be attached to computers or, as terminals, to networks. They also play a prominent role in the design of digital appliances such as the personal digital assistant (PDA), satellite navigation devices and mobile phones.

Entry 4: GPS - Global Positioning Technology

A GPS receiver calculates its position by precisely timing the signals sent by the GPS satellites high above the Earth. Each satellite continually transmits messages containing the time the message was sent, precise orbital information (the ephemeris), and the general system health and rough orbits of all GPS satellites (the almanac). The receiver measures the transit time of each message and computes the distance to each satellite. Geometric trilateration is used to combine these distances with the location of the satellites to determine the receiver's location. The position is displayed, perhaps with a moving map display or latitude and longitude; elevation information may be included. Many GPS units also show derived information such as direction and speed, calculated from position changes.
GPS broadcast signalEach GPS satellite continuously broadcasts a Navigation Message at 50 bit/s giving the time-of-week, GPS week number and satellite health information (all transmitted in the first part of the message), an ephemeris (transmitted in the second part of the message) and an almanac (later part of the message). The messages are sent in frames, each taking 30 seconds to transmit 1500 bits.

Entry 5: DVD - Digital Video Disk Technology

DVD stands for Digital Versatile/Video Disc, DVDR stands for DVD Recordable and DVDRW for DVD ReWriteable. If you're familiar with regular audio/music CDs or regular DVD-Video discs, then you will know what a recordable DVD looks like. A recordable DVD stores up to 2 hours of very good quality DVD-Video, including several audio tracks in formats like stereo, Dolby Digital or DTS and also advanced menu systems, subtitles and still pictures that can be played by many standalone DVD Players and most computer DVD-ROMs. If you choose to lower the video quality it is possible to store several hours video on a recordable DVD using low bitrates and low resolution with video quality more like VHS, SVHS, SVCD, CVD or VCD. It is also possible to have up to 4.37* GB ordinary data or mix DVD-Video and data on a recordable DVD that can be played by most computer DVD-ROMs.

Then for me, DVD-RAM has the best recording features but it is not compatible with most DVD-ROM drives and DVD-Video players. Think more of it as a removable hard disk. DVD-RAM is usually used in some DVD Recorders.
