- The sleep mode. When a mac goes to "sleep" it does not take forever for it to wake up. It is reliable and it does not chew up the battery of the mac.
- Booting time. On a mac, it does not take long. To be exact it takes about 25 seconds to be full booted and this is when it is from a cold start. PC's are longer and makes you never want to turn it on.
- Easy navigation. All the apps that you have on your mac is showed at the bottom. For example, if you are on a web browser app, you can simply move your mouse to the bottom and open up Microsoft word all in a simple motion, instead of minimizing the window you have open.
- Easier to find the problem. There are 3 ways to find out a problem of a mac. By the disk drive, the console, or activity monitor. You do not have to worry about it crashing, it will give you a sign before.
- Useful apps. No matter what app is out there for the macs, they have one for you. Doesn't matter what yo are into, there is a app that will assist you.
- Neat. Everything on the mac is neat. You do not have to go search for anything as long as you keep everything neat.
- Downloading is not a problem. It does not give you all these windows and difficult setup just to download something. The system becomes easy to download.
- File Sharing is easy. It is not a big hassle to share files or folders. You do not necessarily have to use a thumb drive, you can do it on the mac in the system preferences.
- Security Software. You do not have to install another security software that in the end will slow down your computer or creates problems for you. Never have to worry about it scanning before you can actually use it.
- No lame idea. Every idea that Macintosh have come up with has worked in one way or another. So you can not put it on Macintosh.

10 things that make a great logo
- Simple. If a logo is complicated, people will not remember it when they see it on billboards, stores, etc. You want people to remember your business when they see your logo. You do not want them to ask their friend "Who is this?" Keep it simple.
- Correct Color Scheme. Why do you think McDonald's is so successful? The colors that they used make people hungry. Think about it when YOU see McDonald's. You never realized it yourself, but think about every time you have went by a McDonald's did it make you hungry? And you go get a Big Mac not knowing where this all of a sudden hunger came from. Use the correct color scheme to have customers remember you by the colors you use.
- Flexible. Meaning that if you put your logo on shirt's, billboard's, or even wall's that have a black, white, or gray background, will you be able to see it? Will you be able to read the text? You have to keep that into consideration. If you can change your logo into gray, black, or white against wall's like that, then that will be good as well.
- Appropriate for what you do. Imagine you go to "McDonald's" because you are hungry. Then all of a sudden "McDonald's" is a clothing store now. When for years it has been a fast food restaurant. Have the correct logo for what you do in the work force.
- Sends a message. This ties in with the correct color scheme. You want the customers realize that you are the only one that is trying to get the message across to other people. If you make a logo that shows you saving a dog, then your work have to be towards saving a dog.
- Scalable. When you are trying to put your logo on your business card, will everybody still be able to read it? Or will it look like a bunch of wasted ink? Keep this in mind.
- Creative. This is a no brainier, but some people my forget about this one. This is why companies ask you to make their company a logo that everybody will remember.
- Make a impact. The logo that you make should catch the viewers eye. Make sure the logo "grabs" the viewers attention and make them interested in what the logo means.
- Effective without color. Will viewers understand the logo without color? Will the logo be readable? Making a logo that looks good without color before you plan to put color on, you know you have a good logo.
- It has to bring in customers. When you have a good logo, it normally leads to your company to make money. If you do not have a decent looking logo, people will not remember you and would not want to know what the company is about.

Business using online marketing campaigns
In this generation, companies and businesses alike are using the internet as online marketing. Websites like facebook, youtube, twitter, blogger, and others are what businesses are using to promote themselves and make money off it. These websites are what people are going on daily. On personal experience I know people that go on at least one of these sites daily. 365 days a yr. So businesses have now decided to make profiles and host what they are selling on these websites. In the end, they make progress and money. A lot of people nowadays prefer to order and shop offline. It is not hard, and it is easy to do. This is a good way to get yourself noticed as well. The online market can be your guide into becoming a big name. Businesses are smart to use this technique.
