Advantages of a PC

Sadly the decision to choose a PC over a Mac is quickly and without much thought. People are familiar with a PC and are often fearful of venturing into the unknown. This is not the only reason people choose a PC by any means. Some of the other reasons people select the PC include the following:

• Availability of software
• Ease of use
• Upgrade capabilities (especially with the operating system)
• Price
• Interchangeable components

Disadvantages of a PC

For all the good software it offers, the PC is not necessarily the best choice for your business. There are some other things you want to keep in mind before you make a decision to invest in a PC or a Mac. Some of the disadvantages relative strictly to a PC include the following:

• Need to constantly be on the look out for security leaks
• Hard drive has a tendency to crash or become corrupt
• Easily infected with viruses, adware, malware, Trojans and other malicious software
• Requires a substantial amount of RAM and processor speed in order to assure high quality browsing and processing of information.
• Software and hardware tend to become obsolete quickly

This does not mean you should not invest in a PC by any means, but you want to make sure you understand both the advantages and disadvantages in order to choose carefully. Most importantly, protect your system from viruses and your data from any unexpected hard drive crash.

Advantages of a Mac

As a writer I have come across many people who are hard-core lovers of Macs. They will tell you they switched and will never return to the PC, and after working on one for a couple of months now I can understand some of their reasoning though I am still finding it difficult to find files as easily as I could on Window XP. Here are some things to consider that separates Mac from a PC:

• Less prone to viruses and other malicious software
• Hard drive almost never crashes
• Graphics and sound quality are superior to the PC, an advantage for those who use a computer for those functions
• System is more stable and last longer than the average PC

In my own personal experience I have noticed the lack of pop up windows that still irritated me when I was on a PC even though I used a pop up blocker. Those who are adamant to talk people into a Mac will tell you that they do not succumb to viruses, but the only reason for that is because they are less popular than the PC. Unfortunately that is changing, and we may begin to see viruses written to infect the Mac operating system in the future. However, for now the Mac remains more stable than the PC.

Disadvantages of the Mac

There is no doubt it can be difficult to find software that is comparable to the Windows environment, especially if you are running on an older Mac, and I can speak from experience on that. I recently switched to a Mac because my daughter’s former employer was giving one away, and I was in dire need of a new computer system. Unknown to my daughter at the time, the computer did not have an Intel processor but the older Power PC.

Mac does not have the capability of allowing users to upgrade the processor, so this means those who are working on an older processor cannot upgrade to a newer version of Office and will find themselves restricted on any software programs that require an Intel processor. Of course, this is of little importance unless you are planning to buy an older Mac and is something you want to keep in mind before you make a purchase.

Price is a major drawback when comparing the Mac to the PC. At the same time you need to look at the longevity. If you tend to keep up with all the latest trends and buy a new computer every few years, the cost of a Mac is not feasible for you. However, if you hold onto systems and upgrade rather than replace, the cost of the Mac will override the lower cost of the PC that will likely only last about five years even with upgrades.

Summary

The issue of importance is for you as a business owner to evaluate your long-term needs and determine which system is best for you. Certainly if you need high graphic or sound quality you want to choose the Mac, but you also want to analyze and evaluate all the options—you may even want to try both systems before you make a final decision.

We come from a family of ancestors who were remarkable in understanding the human body and in learning medicine and they often preached

“Its often that the food we eat is the main cause for over 90% diseases  incured. The human body is the “ultimate machine” and every human is very unique from other and there could be million reasons for it. Its your body and its you who control it.. Knowing what your body accepts or rejects and what to eat is in itself a remarkable medical skill one can acquire”.

As you grow older and older, your body defense also gets older and older and so any unhealthy eating habits, will put you in illness very often.

Its is very simple to know what to and what NOT to eat! if you are sick, just recollect what food you have eaten in the past 12-24hrs and try pick the odd one you have eaten today or something new in past 24hrs, rather than what you take regularly. It can be from chocolates to a mighty feast you could have had in a party! Those that stick out of your regular ones are the culprits and your body is rejecting! Know it and avoid eating those next time..

I know most people would quickly dismiss these theories as old adage but i am writing this in my personal opinion.

I am posting this article because i really appreciate these native people on their remarkable skill in showing others how to live your life staying away from hospital.  Its the these people who live in villages or in places, far off cities with little or no medical knowledge tend to  live longer and have lengthy life span than those  who live in major cities.   Many of whom haven’t even been to a hospital in their lifetime.

Press HOME + SLEEP button simultaneously

That’s it. You will see the captured screenshot listed under your photos.
I have been searching for iPad application to take screenshot, but with this neat trick you won’t be needing any application.

To setup your iPad connect to Internet using 3G, follow the steps…

Keep in mind that iPad only supports microsim and if you have brought ordinary simcard it will not fit through in the iPad sim slot. Otherwise you will need to cut the simcard to fit accordingly. Make sure that you activate GPRS Internet and 3G Internet in the simcard through a mobile before using on your iPad because you will not be able to send SMS or phone calls once it’s in iPad

To open the simslot look for a small silver jumper attached to booklet which you should have in your box. Take it press down the small hole and the sim tray will eject. The sim tray will be on your bottom left in your iPad. Look for a hole.

Once you insert sim in your iPad it should recognise your mobile service provider all you have to do is enter APN settings in cellular data settings. For Airtel you will need to enter airtelgprs.com. Optionally to speed up Internet you can enter google DNS 8.8.8.8,8.4.4 under DNS.

That’s it open your safari and you should be able to access high speed Internet using 3G. You check the data usage under about in your iPad.

Make sure you register an account with apple app store because without applications, there isn’t any fun with iPad.

- iPad is not a phone
- iPad can’t send text messages like any other mobile phone.
- iPad is not a PC.
- iPad doest have a webcam or camera take photos.
- iPad cant run flash.
- iPad doesnt have no USB or HDMI port.
- iPad is not upgradeable and neither its batteries can be upgraded.
- iPad can only run applications from Apple store.

iPad doesn’t come with screen guard or holder and you have spend money to buy them separately. Of course, you can connect external keyboard and mouse with iPad.

I suspected CPU overheating and it was really hot and it was due to the cpu fan was bit loose and wasnt  positioned properly . I tightened up and did buy a $50 cabinet with 3 fans  which kept the PC cool with proper ventilation not allowing ventilation.

Finally no lags and the performance was amazing with i5 quadcore. Just thought that i could share this because i suck at installing CPUs properly.
