Yesterday, November 11, 2009, many of the news services were reporting on an interview with Microsoft partner group manager, Simon Aldous. The article, which has been quoted around the Internet, is titled ‘Microsoft’s New Vision.’ Microsoft claims that the statement is being misquoted by the Apple fanboy sites that seem to be enjoying themselves at [...]

Last week my wife and I were watching the TV when up popped one of those Microsoft Bing commercials. I am sure you have seen the commercial where the teenage daughter asks Dad a question and in a zombie stare he goes off in a tangent babbling out obscure facts. The girl turns to her [...]

According to the latest statistics, in homes that have computers, Mac is at 12% market share. That is up from 9% from the year before. Which does make one believe that those Apple ads may be working after all. Or is it that Vista was so crappy [according to some]  that people decided to change?  [...]

At a recent Virus Bulletin conference one of the attendees found one topic extremely interesting. The topic was about the Russian “Partnerka”, which has been mutated to attack Mac computer systems. The attendee knew that a majority of Mac users have no anti-malware software in place and could be easily infected. At the same conference [...]

I personally like to see that Apple is going to start their attack once again against the PC and Microsoft along their new operating system Windows 7. According to an article over at CNN Money the new ads started Monday night and use the old tactic that Apple’s are just better than any PC, especially [...]

Maybe those Microsoft commercials are right. Those actors may be really buying PCs because they are so cheap. According to a recent survey conducted by NPD in June, 2009. Apple holds 91% of the over $1,000 computer market. In a recent article it also stated that:
Market Share 101
Microsoft and OEMs measure success in unit market [...]

Apple continues its assault on Microsoft and their Vista operating system, which also includes TV commercials which make the PC guy seem even dumber. This morning I viewed an ad in which the PC guy had a large red button, which when pushed, provided a sound in which to block out the word Vista when [...]

Over at ZD-Net they are citing a French source that is making a big deal out of the fact that one, yes one, single Mac Pro owner says his computer made him sick. In the article it states that testing has shown that the Mac is giving off benzene. The French article uses a translator [...]

In case you missed Microsoft’s first commercial featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld, you have to see it for yourself. Microsoft is planning on spending some $300 Million big bucks to counter the Apple ads that have compared the Vista operating system to a Mac. But the first commercial makes little sense and the attempt [...]

I must admit I am at a disadvantage when it comes to running Vista on a Mac, since I do not personally own a Mac. So this morning while in my home library and digesting a copy of the August 2008 edition of VAR business, I was surprised to read this headline to an article:
IT’S [...]

I saw this over at Fred Langa’s website. I don’t know where Fred found this but I thought I would share it with you.

Comments welcome.

Over the years I have always considered people who used Apple computers as kind of eccentrics. I say this as a compliment and not as a criticism. I personally believe that Apple has and does make a great computer system. But as with any type of consumer product, we all have our personal favorites. Mine [...]

For years we PC users have been the source of jokes from Mac fans, who often criticized our ignorance for using Windows, since the Apple OS was so superior because of a lack of attacks. I believe we PC users realized that the main reason for Winodws hacks and attacks were two fold. First, Windows [...]

Google - the one trick pony according to Steve Ballmer, has anoher toy for the masses to play with. Called Google Media Server, the Windows only software will change the way we interact with our TV now and in the future. In their description Google says that Google Media Server works in conjuntion with Google [...]

During the past year many PC users have either switched or have considered switching over to a Mac system. One of the questions that comes up is how hard is the learning curve going to be? Fortunately Apple has a great site that takes some of the pain on making the switch. Called Switch 101 [...]

The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is one of the first full size laptops to go up against the thin of the thin, Mac Air. Though the X300 isn’t as thin, it does offer some hardware features that the Mac Air can’t handle because of its thinness. But the X300 still fits inside a standard interoffice [...]

Here is another one of those WHY questions. The Apple folks are running a commercial on TV with the PC guy and Mac guy at it again. But this time it relates to an alleged fact that Vista runs faster on a Mac. Naturally the PC guy denies this fact and does try to [...]
