While browsing some blogs, I came across some really amazing and creative work done by an artist. It included photoshop work, 3d graphics, video tutorials, CG portraits and concept art. Since I didn't have any banner for my blog, I decided it wouldn't be bad to ask if he could help me out with this and he replied he could and asked me what I wanted. I didn't give him any restriction as far as it had the same text as befefore and he did it within fifteen minutes (which also include the computer restart and the fact he had to reinstall his photoshop software). I don't usualy make publicity like this but here is something that will show you how he can create something out of nothing!

So if you feel like getting a new banner or need any help with photoshop, you can go ask him out; he's still taking requests! If you don't need anything, just go check his stuff, it's amazing!
There will never be a clear winner in the age-old debate of whether a Mac beats the PC, or the PC trumps the Mac, but it is infinitely clear that each enjoys a staunch following of devoted fans.
The confusion between which is the better of the two, really comes to light if you are a unbiased consumer looking for the machine that best suits your needs, or a business owner fielding requests from individual employees, arguing the necessity for their preferred platform.
What's the Difference?
Apple creates both the hardware and software applications for its products. This means that Apple determines specs, costs, and retailers allowed to carry them, and all their software runs seamlessly on their OS X operating system.
Both use new technology like the Intel Core Duo processor, which means that all PC apps are now able to run on a Mac.
Microsoft's Windows is the operating system associated with the majority of PCs in the world. This means that PC manufacturers each have their own deal with Windows for software, and are able to be ultra-competitive in the features and pricing of their hardware.
FAQ's
Both Mac and PC supporters usually take a hard-lined stance on their favoured platform's strengths, and the competitor's perceived weaknesses. From a strictly unbiased perspective, these are the need to know facts on Macs and PCs:
Why are Macs more expensive than PCs?
This is a two-part answer because although the up front cost of a Mac may be higher, the long-term cost can be substantially lower than a PC.
Apple targets a higher market to begin with - above creating their own software and hardware, they use more expensive components and parts, which results in a higher up front cost. When you buy a Mac however, it is preloaded with the Apple line of software and it literally ready to use right out of the box, with no additional set up or software uploads required.
PCs open the door for users on a tight budget because competitive prices are within reach of most consumers. Your basic machines at the lowest end of the pricing scale are only capable of email, surfing the internet, and creating basic documents. The costs in upgrading the operating system, increasing memory, or upgrading the software that most PC owners use on a day-to-day basis, is where the long-term costs come in. Depending on what you intend to use your PC for, or how you upgrade it will significantly affect the total cost of your computer.
Are Macs best for multimedia, and PCs for business?
Macs have traditionally held the market in publishing and design, while PCs are the standard in business. It is most likely that Macs will continue to be the go-to in the publishing sector and because of their price and readily available support, PCs are probably going to dominate the business world for some time to come.
It should be noted however that both platforms are able to perform similar – if not the same functions, with the help of software specific to that use.
Can Macs run Windows programs?
Yes – you are even able to run Windows simultaneously with the Apple OS X platform. Popular Windows programs like Microsoft Word and Excel are also available in a Mac compatible format, however these obviously come at an additional cost.
What's with PCs and viruses, and why do they seem so unstable?
Given that PCs make up the majority of all computers in the world, it makes sense that hackers are more inclined to create viruses for the operating system on which they can cause the most damage. Mac's operating system on the whole, is considered to be more stable though and generally requires less maintenance than a PC. That being said, PC technical support is cheap and easy to come by, while support for a Mac can be a little more challenging to find.
So here are my questions : Do you own a PC or a Mac? Why did you choose it?
