Apple and Microsoft are the world’s two most valuable brands. The rivalry between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates has been well documented through the years.“There was no peace to make. We were not at war. We made great products, and competition was always a positive thing. There was no cause for forgiveness” said Bill Gates. Mac and Windows made by Apple and Microsoft, are two different types of computers. Both have their own strenghts and weaknesses. Many of their differences are all cosmetic, but…

Snapchat (SNAP) messaging app is making headlines, as it gets closer to its scheduled IPO in March, valued between 20 and 25 billion dollars. Creators Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy will make up the Board of Directors with 70% control of voting power, despite only owning 45% of the stock. Super-voting is nothing new, usually it is diluted over time as new shares are issued but, SNAP would not change its voting structure, giving common stock owners no voting rights and no voting power with shares…

There used to be commercials about how Macs were better than PCs, but how much of that is actually true? I will be talking about how Macs aren't that great with a few reasons, like how they are overpriced and not worth their price, and why it's probably a better idea to just buy a cheaper PC. How hardware can barely be upgraded, along with how apple does not use a lot of basic industry standard trends, and how the software isn't flexible or customizable, along with how Mac OS is just dumbed down…

Extra Credit If I ever had an album cover like the beetles, I would make it very beautiful and decorated. I would also love to incorporate people on the front cover, which I believed were successful in impacting the world. Altogether, for me this would include big people such as Steve Jobs, Michael Jordan, and Barack Obama, for many reasons. One of the big people that I would like to incorporate on my album cover would be Steve jobs. Jobs was a phenomenal individual that did reached great…

Josiah Avery walked through his home office door and sighed. It had been an extremely long day. He eased his tall, athletic frame into leather, winged backed chair and let the cares and concerns of the day tumble freely to the floor. As he opened his worn attaché case and placed his hand inside, Josiah smiled. He could fill the smooth, beveled edge of a new Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablet pc. What a beautiful piece of hardware! Windows 10, 8 GB (gigabytes) RAM for incredible fast…

When it comes to buying a computer all it really comes down to is Mac or PC. These two products have some common aspects, but the operating system, hardware, and price can really set these two apart. The operating system of a Mac, created by Apple, is very user friendly. It’s very easy to find what you’re looking for quickly. It is also very appealing to the eye. The OS has a very cool and slick look to it, giving it a nice modern look. It’s also very smooth when in use; for example, when…

I read this article last night, in which a former Apple Store Genius wrote an open letter to Tim Cook. In this letter, he describes how the atmosphere has change during his time there. Apple has always prided itself as a leader in the Customer Experience. Employees were empowered to slow down to make each interaction unique and memorable, and were given the resources to achieve anything and everything. Over the last few year, however, there has been a push to increase numbers. A place that,…

According to Computerworld.com, a few months after Steve Jobs left Apple, the company stopped doing very well. When he returned in 1996, Jobs made it a point to get the company back to where it was before. They needed a massive idea for a massive problem. Steve Jobs and others came up with the slogan ‘Think different’. In a commercial ad called “The Crazy Ones” that aired Sept. 1997, they used black and white pictures of 12 famous innovators; Thomas Edison, Bob Dylan, Gandhi, Martin Luther…

does not fully trust herself or others, but she has found a way to live without as much difficulty. She has hope now, something she did not have before. Dr. MacIntosh feels that transferring Emily from the trauma models to psychoanalytic therapy was a good decision and that Emily benefitted from it, even if she was not completely cured (MacIntosh, 2014, p. 534-535). Another field in which psychoanalysis is used is in changing personality configuration. Psychoanalytical treatment usually…
