Best Weather-Tracker: Review (Windows)

For a long time I didn't understand the point of weather programs. Whether online, on the TV or on my phone, it just seemed pointless to me. After all, who can really predict the weather with certainty? I was always told that the only way to get a real prediction of the weather was to look out my window and hope the clouds would pass without rain.

These days, it is different. A 48-hour forecast is extremely reliable thanks to advances that have been made in the last decade. Even a five day forecast can be fairly accurate, as more sensitive tools have been developed to check things like bariatric pressure, climate patterns and more. What we have today is a much different animal than what we had twenty years ago.

Now the question is: where can I get the most accurate and up-to-date weather information. For many of us, we like having a program we can take a look at before heading out the door or making plans. So I have gone through many programs for everything from my smartphone to my television.

Of everything that I have tried, my favorite app has been a Windows program called sWeather.

Note, there are other weather related apps we features earlier:

• Menu weather for Mac
• World weather for iPhone
• The weather app for Windows 8 - preview

Bring Youtube to Your Desktop

Who doesn't love YouTube? The massive video sharing site has become a staple to every day life for most of us.

iMac or MacBook Pro?

Many Apple consumers, including me, when they decide to purchase a Mac computer, they can't decide between the iMac and the MacBook Pro. Speaking more generally, this topic is about "Desktop Vs Laptop". Which one is the best for you? Read the article to find out.

First of all let's see who should buy the iMac. If you are a professional graphic designer or video editor (and even if you aren't professional, but it's your job or something else in a high level), the iMac's beautiful huge screen with the amazing resolution, will be perfect for you. If you want to use your computer like a TV, for watching Netflix, or as an external monitor for your gaming console, or for gaming on your Mac again the iMac is your gadget. And finally, if you don't use and need that much your computer while traveling (or even if you don't travel that much), the iMac is your computer.

Now let's take a look who should buy a MacBook. I would suggest the MacBook if you do a lot of traveling and you really need and use your computer. It's a portable and a really powerful computer. If you still do graphic designing and video editing but you do it like a hobby and not as your main job, I think MacBook's display is good enough.

Now it comes another question. What if the user wants portability and a big display for home in the same time? In my opinion, you should buy the 13” MacBook Pro, and for external monitor the fantastic 27", Apple's Thunderbolt Display. If you can't afford buying Apple's Thunderbolt display, you can still find really good 24” monitors (I suggest you Asus) at Amazon for around 250$-500$.

I am currently asking this question to myself too and can't decide. I am in both, the first and the third occasion. Firstly I want to see the new 2012 iMacs and MacBook Pros which will be coming soon, and then, depending on the new features that those two computers will have, this will help me to choose.

I hope this article helped you out to understand in which occasion you are and which Mac is better for you (compared to those two). Thanks so much for reading, if you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comment section below or mention me on Twitter @OrestGPap.
