Mac vs. PC - 4 Reasons Why You Should by a PC!



The age old debate still rages, Mac or PC? While many of us are definitely in one camp or the other, as witnessed whenever a Mac and a PC guy/girl get together there is sure to be a debate or even an argument. We have tested, played with, and worked on, many Mac's and PC's in our quest to end the debate once and for all. We have come to the conclusion that both sides have some valid and interesting points but ultimately it comes down to personal tastes, preferences, and purchasing power. Even in our camp of testers we are split, so this first article will list four reasons why you should by a PC. My esteemed colleague will list four reasons why you should by a Mac in the next article. Below is my list of reasons:

4. Hardware - because Mac's or only made by Apple there is really only seven or eight choices of models, so choice is limited. Whereas with PC's there are really hundreds of choices. Anything from the cheap, inexpensive to the Rolls Royce. Many different brands like HP, Dell, Sony, and Toshiba really put this category in favor of the PC.

3. Performance - Although the start up for Mac seems to be much faster than a PC, again this category must go to the PC. The reason is again the PC's diversity of choices. A top of the line desktop or laptop PC will surely out perform its top of the line Mac counter parts like the MacBook Pro or iMac. The many reason is that there are many more companies putting out products for PC's, Mac just can;t stay up.

2. Accessories - I know, I know you are tired of hearing it but this category, again, goes to the PC. In this case quantity is the king. The PC's have many more accessories made specifically for them. It is true that the majority mice, monitors, keyboards, and connectors work for both Mac and PC many more are made specifically for the PC.

1. Price - All I can say here is DUH, not even close! Mac's are much more expensive, in most cases double, compared to their PC counterparts. Again this category is affected by the number of companies that produce PC's, hundreds, compared to Apple and Apple only producing its computers.

For your information I own both a Mac (MacBook ProMacBook Pro Image
) and a PC(HP Pavilion DV6
) and both have great qualities but for me the price is the kicker of all of the categories and Mac prices aren't even in the ballpark.

Football vs Soccer

I have been around a lot of discussions about football and soccer lately.  Mostly, arguments about which one is better.  My personal preference is football, I grew up football, soccer was just a ball we tried to kick as far and high as we could.  Now don't get me wrong, I respect the skills it takes to play soccer, but it is just not my sort of game.  Here are 4 reasons I think football is a better sport.
1.  Football is the ultimate team sport.  Soccer does not need 11 guys doing the right thing in order to be successful.  During a typical football play, you need 11 guys doing their job for the play to work.  If two guys slack off, then the play won't work.

2. More scoring.  If you watched any Oklahoma Sooner football game this year, you noticed how enjoyable it was to see a great offense at work.  Points were scored at will and I just loved watching them light it up.  Even a low scoring football game can be fun to watch because you know at some point the other team is going to break through the defense.  Soccer on the other hand just doesn't have the ability to light up the scoreboard.  However, if every soccer game ended in a shoot out with a hot girl taking her shirt off, I would probably watch it more.

3.  More strategy.  Football has thousands of different plays that can be ran from hundreds of different formations.  Also, the defense can run many different types of fronts, blitz's, stunts, and coverages.  Special teams are also very unique, many different ways to run them.  Soccer just does not have that many x's and o's.

4.  Physical Contact.  I know that soccer has physical contact, but not 22 different guys going after each other every play of the game.  Which most of the time is between 150 to 200 plays if not more.  I have seen some tough hits during the course of a soccer game, but not as many as I have seen watching football.  I would much rather let Pele tackle me than Dick Butkus or Ray Lewis.

Lets face it, football is a better sport.  What is your argument?

The 4 Best Laptops Under $700.00

The following is a list of what we believe to be the four best all-around laptops for under $700.00. Most laptops in this price range provide many of the same functions and features; so much of our review came down to brand recognition and how familiar we were with each product. Please tell us if what you believe to be the best of the best for under $700.00.

4. Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5904 15.4-Inch Laptop. This laptop is fast, includes plenty of space, and looks sleek and refined. It gets a Vista rating of 3.0 according to Microsoft. We can honestly say that Vista is not so bad. Vista can also be quite pleasing to the eyes after a couple of uses. (2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium)

3. Toshiba Satellite A355-S6922 16.0-Inch Laptop. If you like to watch movies this computer is great because you can see the screen from any angle without black shadowing. The light-up DVD controls on the top of the keyboard are also a great for quick control of the movie. The speakers are very good quality, with excellent range and can be turned up loud enough to enjoy music or watch a movie from another part of the room.
The Satellite has a built-in webcam that is easily activated with a click. All four USB ports are on the sides near the front, as is the network port.

2. Sony VAIO VGN-NS235J/S 15.4-Inch Laptop. It works fast, it's not too big and you didn't have too much pre-installed things that you have to take care of, and for the price, it's was a bargain. Big bonus here it has 4GB RAM available, which is always nice!!(2.16 GHz Intel Dual-Core T3400 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium) Silver

1. HP Pavilion Artist Edition DV2890NR 14.1-inch Laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium)

Hope all this helps. Good Luck!!!!

Bracketology: NCAA DI Men’s Basketball Tournament

It’s that time of year again to get your brackets filled in and start the competition with your family, buddies, and co-workers. It’s all you ever see on the sports channels and newspapers. You also sit there and listen to those so-called experts talk about the bracket and who will win or lose, and also talk about that Cinderella team that always messes everyone’s bracket up. March Madness always keeps everyone entertained when you fill out a bracket and compete with other people because you don’t just cheer and watch your favorite team, but you also watch your other teams that you’ve picked. Even if you aren’t into basketball, it’s still a lot of fun! Here are my 4 teams in the Final Four:

- From the Midwest Bracket I have Louisville vs. Memphis from the West Bracket.
- From the East Bracket I have Duke vs. North Carolina from the South Bracket
- For the Championship I have North Carolina beating Memphis.

Lose 20 Pounds in Two Months

These are 4 things I did to lose 32 pounds in just over two months. I know the title says Twenty Pounds in Two Months
, but I took it a little bit further. I reached my goal and told myself I can do a little more to lose a little more. You have to be strong-willed! Here it is:
4. Reduce the size of your meals and eat more frequently.
- I’m not here to tell you what to eat or what not to eat, but your meal portions should be reduced a significant amount compared to what you are used to eating on a regular basis.
- Eating a snack between your main meals keeps you from being hungry all day.
3. Have a partner to lose weight with and make it a competition.
- Losing weight is hard enough and if you have someone to do this with, it just makes it a little easier (moral support).
- If you are a competitive person put a wager on who can lose the most weight, this is great for motivational purposes.
2. Make sure you do some high intensity cardio.
- There are many cardio workouts you can do, but I usually stick with running because you can always find a place to run.
- You want to make sure you do this cardio activity for at least 30 minutes a day and usually 5 days a week, no less!
1. Have a goal!
- You want to make sure you are specific about how much you want to lose, make it a realistic goal, and also make sure you have a time frame to reach your goal.

These are just a few ways to lose some weight! Please let us know what you think and don’t be shy to tell us your ways on how to lose weight. We want to hear your story also. Good Luck to All!
