Mac Vs. PC


I always had this question...
What should someone choose for a laptop. A Mac or a PC?
There are many differences of course, from performance specs to price itself. Last month I wanted to buy a new laptop for my MSc. I was looking around, comparing all brands and models and came up with the most common dilemma...Mac or PC?

I am a PC user for all my life and never tried a Mac before. But, if you check out the specs and capabilities of a Mac, you will find more powerful cores, better memory management, good graphics, high price and a low variety of components.On the other hand, a PC is more flexible, less expensive, less reliable and more expendable.

If you choose a Mac, you know you will pay a lot, but you will use it for at least 6 years with no problems of performance or repairs. A PC is more expendable, but is cheaper...

I personally chose a DELL laptop. I couldn't afford a Mac, although I wanted it so much...!

Your choice!

Google Buys Motorola Mobility


Going for the hardware as well, ha?
Well, the famous "Google", you know the rainbow company, just bought Motorola as an expansion.

There is the software available, so why don't produce the hardware? Wise move. Noone can deny that Google has little experience on hardware manufacturing, but I think it will be a success. There is "Google Chromium", a new available OS which is usually for netbooks, "Android", a mobile OS for smartphones, "Google Chrome", a web browser...and of course "Google Search Engine" which is the key to its success.

So, I think you have it all. Google is now everywhere and I don't thing it will stop here. It is even a word in a "Webster" dictionary...

As you can imagine this is only the beginning...
