Mac Vs PC

Everyone seems to be talking about Apple's new " I'm a Mac" advartisements .
Have you seen them ?
They seem to have caught quite a fancy of the viewers.
For those who don't know, Apple has released advartisements that potray PC users as uncool geeks and then compare them to Mac users , who they potray as "cool dudes".



They've even got ads against the Microsoft's newly released vista.







What the Microsoft people said :

Bill Gates : " I don't think the over 90per cent of those who use Windows PCs think of themselves as dullards , or the kind of klutzzes that somebody are tyring to say they are."

Steve Ballmer: "Remember when you're little tiny niche guy who owns about 2 per cent of the worlwide market, you can be cute one time and it helps you grow."

Format wars: Is sony the winner ?

Sony plans to begin marketing Blu-ray as the winner courtesy impressive sales data released from Nielsen Video Scan showing Blu-ray outselling HD-DVD by a 2:1 margin in January 2007.

But, actually the format war between the supporters of both the formats is showing no signs of ending.

No one is happy definitely not the HD buyers very few titles are still available on either of them. Consumers are not favouring the purchase of players of either flavour. As the media and the players remain expensive.
LG's release of Dual-format player during the CES(consumer electronics show) 2007 just comes as a shy of relief for the consumers in selecting a player.

In fact , some are waiting for HVD_Holographic Versatile Disc- entirely avoiding the upgrade to the blue laser and some feel the flash with its small size and ever-plunging prices, could kill of blue laser media.

China's answer to the high capacity blue laser formats the EVD(Enhanced versatile disc) is here. China started the development of the EVD in 1999 to avoid paying high royalties for DVD's. It works on red laser.
Is it going to kill the Blu-ray and the HD-DVD?
the answer is -no. It is very unlikely to be adopted else where except China, and also big compinies like Sony, Philips, Sun, Dell, HP, Pioneer ,TDK, and Apple supporting Blu-ray. While HD-DVD has the support of Toshiba, Microsoft,Intel.



In short the entire HD format thing seems to have gone awry with no clear winner in the battle and a winner isn't likely to emerge for some time which is just what it seems.

Can anyone get the desktop search right ?

I'm talking about search, a basic function . No one has got it right be it the in-built search Windows OS's search or third party applications like the Google or the MSN desktop searches.
Firstly the OS's search function sucks and wipes. It'll take ages to find.
Then there are the smarter downloadable search applications- both Google and MSN desktop searches do a bang-up job of finding stuff. The only rub is that they create humongous index files that eat up gigabytes of space on your hard disk and you still have to tall them where to look. Why can't a search tool simply assume that you want to find every document on your computer and leave it at that ?

I personally fell we deserve a much better search application don't you?



Is Vista's search better?
