Mac vs. PC - Innovation

Watch the following (It is a Apple bs. PC commercial based on innovation):

Protection is key when it comes to a laptop.  No one wants a laptop that will break easily when it falls.  When is comes to Apple laptops, innovation is what prevents the laptops from breaking.  No one wants a laptop that has visible protection.  You want laptops that look sleek, just like Mac laptops.

People also want a long battery life.  Apple guarantees a long battery life to last around 10 hours which is a whole work day.  PC do not last that long because they have so much programming, and they cannot balance it with providing life battery life.  You can have as much programming you want on your mac, and at the same time you can have a long battery life.

In conclusion, Apple provides many options for the user.  Innovation has provided so many options for Mac users, and has helped develop their technology.

iLife is what makes Apple stand out from the rest of the technology world (which is generally P.C.).  The following is some iLife programs:

- iMovie
- iTunes
- iPhoto
- iCal

All of the programs mentioned above are apart of iLife.  All of the iLife programs can basically be used for different sections of your life.  For example, you can use iCal to schedule what is happening in your day to day life (it is just like a calendar).  If you are interested in music, iTunes can provide music to you 24/7. If you are in to photography, iPhoto can hold all of your pictures, and you can even edit your pictures in iPhoto.  If you enjoy making Movies, iMovie could not be a better program to help you create a movie.  It is a great program to use for school projects, or just for fun.  All of these programs provide a lot of options for people.  There are SO many programs in iLife that make your day to day life enjoyable.  iLife can introduce you to many things that are new to you.  No other laptop has a concept like iLife, and that is what is lacking from their computers.  iLife makes the process of buying a new laptop even more enjoyable.  The best of all is when you buy a product from the Apple Store, iLife is already downloaded into the laptop, there is no need to download it yourself.  So as soon as you purchase a technological device from Apple, you can instantly start playing around on iLife.

Mac vs. PC - Surgery

Watch the following (It's an Apple vs. PC Commercial based on 'surgery' for the P.C):

Upgrading laptops can take a while and the upgrade doesn't always go according to plan.  Sometimes when laptops are upgraded, the laptop had to be opened up in order to upgrade.  Upgrades usually work out really well, but they can mess up a lot of other things in the laptop if it is opened up.

Sometimes when the upgrade is done, some of the programs work really well.  This doesn't mean that every program works faster, the ones that were not upgraded tend to work slower.  A lot of the energy from the laptop goes towards upgraded programs, leaving non-upgraded programs working slower that usual.

With Macs, usually the majority of programs are updated and they all work pretty well.  A recent upgrade you can get on Macs is the Lion OSX.  Lion OSX upgrades all of the software on Mac's and has improved the processing speed of them

Apple - Textbooks

Carrying textbooks around school it not so fun, they are heavy and the pages rip very easily.  They often fall of tables, onto the floor, and damage quite easily.  Textbooks are also very expensive and are hard to maintain there good condition.  

Recently Apple has partnered up with some of the biggest educational publishers in North America, including:

- Mifflin Harcourt

- McGraw Hill Cos.

- Pearson... etc

By partnering up with them, Apple will be able to have a copy of the majority of textbooks in North America on a program called iBooks 2.  Students will now be able to purchase textbooks online with iBook and in America, it costs less than $15.  Along with iBooks, Apple is planning on releasing a free program that Apple product users will be able to access.  The Apple product users will be able to make textbooks, cookbooks and many other similar contents on that program if they wish to do so.

iBooks 2 will make it easier for students to access textbooks where ever they are.  They don't have to worry about misplacing a textbook, ripping a textbook, writing on a textbook and the expenses of a textbook.  iBooks 2 will provide staff and students and new fun way of learning.   Using iBooks 2 will help students enhance their knowledge of technology and help them expand different ways of learning.

Mac vs. PC - Boxes

Watch the following (it is a Mac vs. PC commercial based on 'boxes'):

When people buy a new laptop, the majority of them wants one that has all of the materials you need in one place.  Some of you may have noticed that when you buy a mac, all of the materials you need come in one box and has very simple instructions.  However, for PC's they have a different story.  Yes, all of the materials come in one box but the instructions to start a PC computer are very difficult to understand and aren't user-friendly.  Apple ensures customers that there laptops are very easy to set up.

When you turn on laptops it usually takes a while for them to even turn on and get started, especially with PC's.  They take quite a long time to 'wake up' and start processing information.  Mac's turn on very quickly because there processing has been programmed to go quickly.  Especially for iPads, some of you may have noticed as soon as you take your case of your iPad, it turns right on!  Mac programmes there products to turn on quickly and sufficiently.

The reason why PC's take so long to turn on is because they have so many parts that need to work together in order to open a programme, and sometimes all of those parts don't work together.  The more parts, the slower the laptop.  Mac computers have minimum amount of parts and that is why there laptops work faster.  They have taken away un-needed parts and used the parts that are necessary to producing a fast and sufficient laptop.

Mac vs. PC - Pictures/iLife

Watch the following (It's a Mac vs. PC Commercial based of Pictures/iLife)

Imagine, you want to find a picture of your old high school friend on your laptop, but you have thousands of photos to look through, but you deal with it and look through every photo until you find the picture you want.  Now imagine, you still want to find a picture of your old high school friend on your laptop, and you have thousands of photos to look through, and you deal with finding the picture you need by using face recognition.  On iPhoto, you can tag people in your pictures and it will automatically tag that person in all the other pictures you own.  Wouldn't your life be so much easier?

iLife comes with macs as soon as you buy it from the store, it is already in the system of macs.  Some iLife programs are:

- iPhoto
- iTunes
- iMovie

... and many more.  iPhoto is where all of your photos are stored.  It shows all your pictures you have with high clarity and face recognition if you decide to use it.  If you put a name on someones face in a picture, then it will detect that same face on all the other pictures they are in, in your iphoto albums.

If you are having difficulty when finding pictures of people that you want to find, then iPhoto will help you  locate these pictures easily.  Many iLife programs are easy to use and very useful.

Mac vs. PC - Power cords

Watch the following (It's a Mac vs. PC Commercial based on Power cords)

Even though this commercial is over exaggerated, accidents like this do happen, it has even happened to me before, but with a mac power cord so nothing happened to me.  The different between the Apple and PC power cord:

Apple: Magnetically pops in and out of the socket
PC: Stays securely plugged into the socket.

If someone trips over a PC power cord, then they are most likely to fall over and hurt themselves.  Because the power cord is so securely plugged into the laptop then there is a higher risk of someone getting hurt when they trip over the cord.  The laptop may even slide of the desk and on to the floor.

If someone trips over a Mac power cord, then they most likely won't fall over because of the magnetic connection between the cord and the socket.  The cord would just pop right out if someone was to trip over it.  Some people may think that it is silly to have a power cord that can pop out really easily, but if you directly pull out an apple power cord, it does not come out that easily.  If you angle the power cord to come out of the socket, then it is easier to pull out.

Because the Apple power cord magnetically pops in and out of the socket, there would be less safety issues, and not many people would get hurt from tripping over an Apple power cord.
