Mac vs PC: The Fanboys

Almost everything has "fanboys" or worshipping fans and in this case, Macs and PCs. We all know about the huge Mac vs PC battle and the Windows vs Snow (Leopard). Each side has fanboys, some of the most obnoxious, hard headed, illiterate fanboys are available in the category. We all have our opinions on this subject and you can leave some comments down below, but what I want is video responses to the embedded video. I am fine with comments, but video responses are much better. I absolutely positively hate fanboys! I am a Apple fan and a Microsoft fan. I have Windows 7 and I have Snow Leopard, although I do use Snow Leopard as the main OS. Both companies are the best of the best. So, please leave your opinions (biased or non-biased)

The new iMac & Magic Mouse ad

Apple has released three new additions to its Macintosh computer and accessory line.

The new iMacs will sport either a 21.5 or 27 inch display and will range in price from AUD$1599 to $2599. In addition to a new backlit LED display and casing design, the iMacs will also sport Intel Core i5 and i7 quad-core processors.

Accompanying the iMac overhaul is the addition of a new mouse. Dubbed the "Magic Mouse," the multi-touch device will be the first to support multi-touch finger gestures rather than clicking on buttons or scroll wheels.

Extreme Mac Desktop Customization

Are you tired of boring, plain wallpapers and simple, stock icons? Why not customize them? That's what many Mac users do! Check out my video in which I show you my customized Mac desktop. I customized it thanks to a tutorial by Amanda or (iTalkApple) on YouTube. The stuff I used to customize my Mac are as follows:

Exposé For iPhone?

Exposé is one of the most productive and useful feature in Mac OS X. Have you ever thought of it on an iPhone or iPod Touch? Ocean Observations has an idea, an Exposé feature for the iPhone and iPod Touch by using the home button’s double tap features. Tap the home button, and up to 9 pages of homescreen are shown in a grid. Tapping any of the displayed pages will jump you directly to that page, allowing you to skip from page 1 to page 8 without swiping 7 times. Interesting idea, but would Apple include this or would it be a “jailbroken iPhone charm”? I can see myself using this, because it could also mean running apps in the background. Here below is a demo of the “iPhone Springboard Exposé”

Ads Now On Google Maps iPhone App

Apparently, now on the Google Maps iPhone app there are “Sponsored Links”. As you can see, the object that holds the links are a customized icon rather than the thumbtacks. Apple’s recent purchase of the mapping service company Placebase could suggest that Apple may be into making some new maps and stray away from Google. Google Maps is an app that comes pre-installed on the iPhone and never had ads. Since this came installed, it shouldn’t have ads of any kind on it. Google is a tyrant, always trying to add to their large monopoly. Ah what do you think about Google ads on the Google Maps app and why Apple has allowed it.
