Actually most of the schools teaching their students on Apple computers is NOT a mystery.
Look at the administrators and instructors...
As usual idealist lefty moonbats letting their students down.
More nonsense signifying nothing. Big deal and most won’t care.
I want Napster back!
I don’t own an apple product either and never will.
Yea i can understand that....closed source is like owning a Sega Genesis, the hardware is solid it is up to the programmers to make the game work with it.
There were no constant weekly updates and inevitable crashes with the Genesis it just worked the way it was designed....always.
But still, teaching millions of students on one machine while 92% of the planet used the other machine is just wrong.
No rant.....enjoy your Google :)
I can’t argue with your logic except to say maybe in school it’s better to expose kids to all tech and see where it leads.
Firefox and othe browsers have plug-ins that will convert youtube songs to MP3.
Then there is Bit-torrent..
But yea, the 3,500 hundred songs i play at work on random mostly came from Napster circa 2000ish..
Also Rush Limbaugh uses Apple products.
But how do you signal your virtue to the other signal virtue signalers while you are sitting in Starbucks sipping on your Grande, Iced, Sugar-Free, Vanilla Latte With Soy Milk while while wearing your skinny jeans, goatee and hair bun for 3 hours?
I wonder how much that contract is worth..
:)
Only messing with you.
They BOTH suck.
Ironically, they're usually selling technology tied to crowdsourced (do our work for us) apps.
I laugh when I see that the geniuses even call it "Big Data". I think they even offer degrees in it.
IBM went Apple for all of it’s employees, starting in 2015, found they were saving over $70 million in IT expenses every year and up to $535 for every Apple Mac computer installed. The number of technical support calls dropped drastically.
Up to $535 saving per Mac
IBM today told the record-setting seventh Jamf Nation User Conference that it is saving even more money by deploying Macs across the company than it thought: each Mac deployment saves the company up to $535 over four years, in contrast to the $270 per Mac it claimed last year.That’s a hugely significant statistic for any Mac user and follows extensive use of the platform by IBM. IBM VP of Workplace as a Service, Fletcher Previn, told the conference that 90,000 employees are now using Macs, up from 30,000 in 2015. 100,000 of IBM’s global workforce will be using Macs by the end of the year, he said, and the number is climbing.
...
Not only has the company been saving between $264-$535 for each Mac deployment over four years, but just 3.5 percent of employees using a Mac will call the company help desk, he said. . . This is fully in line with experiences shared in 2015, when Previn said just 5 percent of IBM’s Mac users needed to call the help desk; In contrast, an astonishing 40 percent of PC staff request tech support help. At IBM last year just 25 staff supported 30,000 Macs... The company reports a hugely impressive “91 percent user satisfaction” from its Mac users.— Computerworld “IBM Says Macs Are Even Cheaper to Run Than It Thought
The savings have only gotten better since the article was written. IBM now has over 400,000 installed world wide. They’ve found that one IT specialist can manage and maintain over 2,000 Macs, compared with one for just 250 PCs.
At least he promotes the product when he gets a great call,iPhones or iPads to those listeners,in a special way,children who call.
If I was paying for this, I’d cancel my services. Siding with looters, rioters and murderers is not good for business.
Wouldn’t the term “blackout tuesday” be a bit raysis?
A little less hiphop cluttering the ears would just be a good thing.
Yea, They’re just showing that by using a apple laptop shows you how hip, current and smart they are.
They are professionals and they KNOW what they are doing..
they use them as a selling point to the ignorant.
swordmaker is right in a way, they are quality machines i guess, closed-source so they don’t get F’ed up nearly as often.
The “We don’t get viruses” is long gone though.
