Mac or PC

People always debate if Macs or PCs are better. The truth is they are very similar, after all how different can computers be. Many people do have a preference of operating system. Some people prefer to have a Mac for many reasons.A benefitof having a Mac is that they aren't as virus prone as PCs because there are less Mac users. The lesser number of Mac users can also be a disadvantage because of some programs that aren't compatible with Macs. This is not as big of a deal any more now that there are more Mac users there are more compatible software you often just have to look harder than if you were buying software for a PC. If you want to buy a Mac you should also expect to pay more than if you were buying a PC. Macs do also boast to be more user friendly than PCs. I did find that apple tries to stick by there products being self explanatory when I got my IPod touch and there was only a small pamphlet outlining some of the futures of my IPod touch and there not being a users manual. Some people argue that PCs crash more than Macs but the truth is all computers can and do have problems.More have PCs so there may be some compatibility issues when creating a program on a Mac and then opening it up on a PC. Macs and PCs are very similar and it is there are less compatibility issues with Macs with more Mac users. 

WiFi Hotspots

During the past few years there has been a increase in Wi-Fi hot spots. More and more restaurants have started having them and have advertised them. A few years ago there were few hot spots; this is probably partly because small Wi-Fi devices (i.e. IPod touches, Nintendo dsis) weren't on the market yet. Many people looking for Wi-Fi access where laptop user but this isn't the case now with iPod touches and even some smart phones such as blackberries and other smart phones  that can also access Wi-Fi networks. Driving through a big city now with an IPod touch you can see how many people also have a home network and how many restaurants have free Wi-Fi. Some smaller restaurants have also have taken advantage of this trend. I saw a  commercial while watching the Tacoma Washington station advertising that Mc Donald's there have free Wi-Fi.  Wi-Fi hotspots are a selling feature for many business people and the everyday facebookers. Hotels often decide to have a hotel wide Wi-Fi network instead of having internet hook ups in each room as it is a lot cheaper. This idea also doesn't discriminate against laptop users (unless very old) but if there are just internet hookups in each room then an IPod touch user can't access the internet. Over all Wi-Fi hotspots are a great idea for restaurants and hotels in this day of fast communication and people always wanting to be connected. Some places that you wouldn't expect to have Wi-Fi hotspots also have them such as hockey arenas and some cities also have a city wide wireless network, but these networks you often need a subscription for.
