The age old argument that has been going around since the dawn of time, which is best – the apple or the PC and in this sense we mean either a computer running Windows or it could be Linux of course. For the Tech savvy end user, building your own machine can be cheaper, much more powerful and more upgradable than the Mac range of computers. On the other hand we have a beautiful all-in-one that is the iMac and nothing can beat the one plug professional looking box which also happens to have the 27″ screen of course. I wanted to use this post not to go through the age old arguments but to ask the question of “why should I spend all that money and buy an iMac”

Mac vs. PC – the age old debate
Google Products outside of the USA?
Google frequently have a new service they offer out and is the normal with Google, they start the thing in Beta, send out invites and finally after a long time, they let the world and his dog sign up. The best example was Google Mail, this used to be Invite only at one point and now anyone can join. A few recent services though have been released in the USA but have not made it at all to the UK. Is there a reason why Google feel only the USA can benefit from these services or is there other reasons?
T-Mobile loose half a million customers in the USA
I read on the various blogs out there that T-Mobile have lost 471,000 people since the last quarter and too be honest if they operate anything like the UK side of the business, this is not a shocker at all to me. IN the UK we have a choice of T-Mobile, Orange (these two are now one of the same company), Vodafone and finally 3 plus we have places such as Carphone warehouse who deal with all the suppliers and just sell you a phone. Personally I hated Orange as a company as they had (at he time) limited coverage, more expensive phones / deals and generally bad staff. I use Vodafone at work and again, they operate like any faceless company. This left me with 3 and T-Mobile – the problem though? Smartphones have added an extra burden they cannot seem to cope with, once they sell you a deal, they are happy to forget about you. It’s about time the phone companies tried to find out what the customer want or you will end off as expected – running out of customers.
