The PC vs Mac Issue

Some times, we need a little light shed on the whole argument.  Some times, people argue about stupid stuff.  This is no different.  Which one is better?  PC vs Mac?  Well, to tell you the truth, it's really a matter of preference.

There is nothing you can't do on a PC that you can't do on a Mac.  Just some times, it's easier on one than the other.  The majority of the games are made for PC, but Macs weren't really built for gaming in mind in the first place.  With that in mind, you can still play any PC game on a Mac with a certain program.

I've heard it all before.  This reason vs that reason.  Well, I've got news for you.  News Flash.  People will find something to complain about, even if it's a free item or service.  What's the worst argument I've heard so far?  Well, for starters, someone told me that they hated Microsoft because of the Proprietary Drivers.  Yeah, Proprietary Drivers is what's driving them away from Microsoft.  Seriously.  Nearly every hardware for PC has Proprietary Drivers, yet at the same time, Mac has.....Gasp.....Proprietary Parts.

I'd have to say if one was worse than the other, I"d have to say Proprietary Parts.  Why?  Because, if a company, like Apple, creates a part and they patent it, they can charge what ever they want for the part.  Thus, the reason why Macs are over priced.  I can get twice as much ram and better ram for that matter, a faster processor, and a better video card in a PC Laptop vs a Mac Book Pro that's maxed out.

So, all you people that have these silly little arguments about why one is better than the other, are wasting your time.  So far, no one has convinced me that a Mac is better than a PC.  Now, if you want to send me a Mac Book Pro to test.  I'll glad test it and you can convince me otherwise.  I'll probably end up buying one, but first things first.  Power over Price.  I'm getting a Laptop first, then a Mac Book Pro later when I can better afford one.

Why I Want To Travel To The Maldives

The Sun, the surf, the beach, the crystal clear water.  Nope, I'm not talking about the Bahamas.  I'm talking about the Maldives.  The Maldives is a series of Islands that makes up a small country in the middle of the ocean.  Here are a few reasons taken from Wikipedia.

The Maldives consists of approximately 1,190 coral islands grouped in a double chain of 26 atolls, along the north-south direction, spread over roughly 90,000 square kilometres, making this one of the most dispersed countries in the world. It lies between latitudes 1°S and 8°N, and longitudes 72° and 74°E. The atolls are composed of live coral reefs and sand bars, situated atop a submarine ridge 960 kilometres long that rises abruptly from the depths of the Indian Ocean and runs from north to south. Only near the southern end of this natural coral barricade do two open passages permit safe ship navigation from one side of the Indian Ocean to the other through the territorial waters of Maldives. For administrative purposes the Maldivian government organized these atolls into twenty one administrative divisions. The largest island of Maldives is Gan, which belongs to Laamu Atoll or Hahdhummathi Maldives. In Addu Atoll the westernmost islands are connected by roads over the reef and the total length of the road is 14 km (9 mi).

The Maldives is the lowest country in the world, with a maximum natural ground level of only 2.3 metres (7 ft 7 in), with the average being only 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) above sea level, although in areas where construction exists, this has been increased to several metres. More than 80 per cent of the country's land, composed of coral islands scattered over an area about 850 km across the equator, is less than one metre above sea level.^[18]

The reef is composed of coral debris and living coral. This acts as a natural barrier against the sea, forming lagoons. Other islands, set at a distance and parallel to the reef, have their own protective fringe of reef. An opening in the surrounding coral barrier allows access to the calmer lagoon waters. The barrier reefs of the islands protect them from the storms and high waves of the Indian Ocean.

A layer of humus 15 centimetres (6 in) thick forms the top layer of soil on the islands. Below the humus layer are 60 centimetres (2 ft) of sandstone, followed by sand and then fresh water. Due to high levels of salt in the soil near the beach, vegetation is limited there to a few plants such as shrubs, flowering plants, and small hedges. In the interior of the island, more vegetation such as mangrove and banyan grow. Coconut palms, the national tree, are able to grow almost everywhere on the islands and are integral to the lifestyle of the population.


The limited vegetation and land wildlife is supplemented by the abundance of marine life. The waters around the Maldives are abundant in rare species of biological and commercial value, with tuna fisheries being traditionally one of the main commercial resources of the country. The Maldives have an amazing diversity of sea life, with corals and over 2,000 species of fish, ranging from reef fish to reef sharks, moray eels, and a wide variety of rays: Manta rays; Stingray; and Eagle ray. The Maldivian waters are also home for the whale shark.


And if that's not enough.  Just check out the climate.

Climate

The Indian Ocean has a great effect on the climate of the country by acting as a heat buffer, absorbing, storing, and slowly releasing the tropical heat. The temperature of Maldives ranges between 24 °C (75 °F) and 33 °C (91 °F) throughout the year. Although the humidity is relatively high, the constant cool sea breezes keep the air moving and the heat mitigated.

The weather in the Maldives is affected by the large landmass of South Asia to the north. The presence of this landmass causes differential heating of land and water. These factors set off a rush of moisture-rich air from the Indian Ocean over South Asia, resulting in the southwest monsoon. Two seasons dominate Maldives' weather: the dry season associated with the winter northeastern monsoon and the rainy season which brings strong winds and storms. The shift from the moist southwest monsoon to the dry northeast monsoon occurs during April and May. During this period, the northeast winds contribute to the formation of the northeast monsoon, which reaches Maldives in the beginning of June and lasts until the end of August. However, the weather patterns of Maldives do not always conform to the monsoon patterns of South Asia. The annual rainfall averages 2,540 millimetres in the north and 3,810 millimetres in the south.


There are multiple reasons for wanting to travel to the Maldives.  Here are a few more.

Most Epic Coffee Table Ever

I was browsing around and saw perhaps the most epic of all Coffee tables.  That is if you are a gamer perhaps.  So, someone actually made an NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) Controller Coffee Table.  That's right.  A Coffee Table that looks like an NES Controller.  Here are a few images and a link to the blog below.

And here is the link to the Blog.

I highly recommend following this blog.
