Job there is in the branch of Media&Tech deparment

4. My example:

Mac vs Pc:

Mac vs Pc (Personal computer) , I think pc is better on some areas and its my favorite one to use and they are more secure, but with those benefits Mac computers
are more expensive. not easily available in so many places.

The design of Macs has more style and protection than PCs they have very unique features and software, they have been know to be easier to use due to there
simplicity and security, not requiring many computer skills they are the best solution
for children and older people, but there mayor lose comes when there software, a good portion of today’s software is only PC but usually the top software is always available for Macs, such software like anti-virus and Utilities are in abundance in Macs. Also Macs are known for there high-quality products like iPods and the recent iPhones are a mayor benefit to the Mac industries, due to the abilities of these products there people have the tendency to become more interested in this world of Mac “With iPods doing so well, I figured I would look into Apple computers. After jumping on one in the Apple store I became hooked” (Jeremy Ferguson,Online.Wsj.com)

These computer are more available and have more users around the world, with almost endless software are the more popular, but they have been known for not being so efficient as Macs and their security is lower than Macs. Since there more popular and open this has generated a special attention from the Hackers and virtual evil doers, they are not made to be complicated but they are kind of driven that way, but with a few months they become normal daily things.

So in general PC have tendency to win, but Mac are creating very neat unique ideas that soon will rule over the computer market. I have made my point view about Macs and PCs. Never feel afraid to try one of them and I think you will soon find out what I am talking about.

As Macs are more secure than PCs both in virtual security and actual reality. “The Macintosh operating system enjoys a near-absence of the types of malware and spyware that affect Microsoft Windows users. This is largely due to both the UNIX roots of Mac OS X, and the smaller user base.” (Wikipedia) . But still there’s some virus that manage to get inside of Macs. Now that people are discovering more about Macs and using them more, this has made hackers make more viruses for Macs. Macs are also safe in the outside, with hard metallic covers and safe power plugs they could help your expensive Mac to last longer. PCs usually don’t come with metallic covers or others safety features, only a few IBM PCs do come with it.

The Mac also been known for having cool external features like built in Web-cam or SD-card reader/writer, Bluetooth and Wi-fi wireless making them more easy to use and easy to take along with you.
But all this Advanced technology is sometimes hard to upgrade and fix “When was the last time you heard about someone replacing the processor in a Mac or even upgrading the ram”(Epinions.com) the complexity of the Mac has made it hard to upgrade or to repair, some easy upgrades such as Ram upgrades could be hard to do sometimes on Macs.

(This is a bit from my unfinished assingments at work, it was halted due to the new Mac OS)

Thank you for your time!

I think your article is good, but there are a few grammatical errors, such as "due to there simplicity and security" where there should be their.

We currently do not have a Technology Head, but we will soon, so you might have to wait until the voting is finished.

I don't think it would be fair for him to wait. If any other section head or editor would accept him, that would be better. And, I totally forgot about the head votings... I should check it out.

I thought it was "Technology: Stobbo"

unfortunately Stobbo resigned about a month ago due to real life commitments, but voting is currently taking place for the new head of technology.

So what will happen to my case?

Mrcsupertrain or Kyle will accept you if they feel that your application is acceptable.

We have started voting, so if you're going to be accepted, it should be in less than 5 days, hopefully.

I think your article is very nice. Prash pointed out some grammatical errors, but overall the article is well built. You may want to organize the article a bit more, giving specific titles to certain parts of your article.

Eg.
1st Paragraph could have "Introduction" in bold right above it.

Accepted
