What operating system does your computer use?
I have and use a MacBook its been my computer of choice for a while I love everything about Apple products. The operating system my MacBook use is Mac OS is a series of graphical user interface-based operating systems developed by Apple Inc. for their Macintosh line of computer systems. The original version was the integral and unnamed system software first introduced in 1984 with the original Macintosh, and referred to simply as the "System" software.
What are some examples of applications residing in your personal computer?
Every Mac comes with a collection of great apps for things you do every day, like

When something is in the cloud, it means it is stored on servers on the Internet instead of on your computer. It lets you access your calendar, email, files, and more from any computer that has an Internet connection. I don’t have anything cloud base for the fear of getting hacked and getting my information stolen. Having certain items cloud based have its pro and cons I will name a few these are my personal opinions some people may not agree with me.
PROS:
1. Access data anywhere on any smart device
2. Frees up IT resources to focus on the core competency of the business
3. Provides scale so that you can easily provision additional servers to meet computing needs
4. Provides a low cost, easy way to ensure backup and disaster recovery with offsite backups.
5. Enhanced security from Internet services, by preventing loss due to fire, theft, or disaster.
6. May keep costs low, as you only have to pay for what you use, and don’t need to make significant upfront investments.
CONS:
1. Outages, while unlikely, can impact your business
2. Large files on STaaS require large amounts of network bandwidth to conduct storage utilization and internet-based services
3. Potential lock-in – Depending how you enable storage for your website. It may be challenging to move to another provider if you write provider-dependent code.
4. Privacy – Governments (for example via the US Patriot Act) can potentially access your data. You
Backup and file sharing: allows you to access the data and information by logging in from any location with any computer with the internet connection. One can easily share the data and information online with others in every corner of the world, and it keeps your data backed up in a separate place.
Mac and windows both cost and amount about £70 and this is not cheap. Linux is free but people do not use this because it is very difficult to use. Many people prefer windows as it is the easiest to use and they will pay more to make their life
Cloud-based computing may seem confusing, but it is not complicated. In fact, you may be using some cloud-based computing right now. Either in your business with certain workers or perhaps you are using it on your own computer at home. Cloud-based computing is about accessing the Internet and using programs on the Internet as well as accessing data files that are stored remotely. Almost nothing is stored on your computer's hard drive. There are many advantages to using this type of system in business. The following are a few of them.
Cloud computing means Internet computing. So cloud data is accessible from anywhere on the internet, meaning that if a data breach occurs via hacking, a disgruntled employee, or careless username/password security, your business data can be compromised. Due to that, should be aware of using cloud computing applications that involve using or storing data that are not comfortable having on the Internet.
The Mac OS is the product of Apple, which was created in 1976 by the late Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniac. Mac OS, unlike Microsoft's Windows, is an operating system designed only for the Macintosh computers. Whereas Microsoft's creation of Windows seemed more or less linear after the late 1980's, Apple circulated a number of different computers with different OS’s, such as the Apple II, Apple III, the Lisa, in addition to the line of Macintoshes. The ultimate brilliance behind Apple's development of its operating systems is vertical combination: Mac also develops both its own hardware and software. However Microsoft takes a different approach: it provides the OS that is used by almost all IBM compatible computers manufactured. Of all the individual personal computer ventures that Apple started however, only the top sellers of the Macintosh remain in production and continue to evolve.
What is cloud computing? Cloud Computing is storing and accessing applications and data over the Internet and not locally of your computer’s hard drive. The concept has been around and in use for years. To put it more simply, cloud computing means providing processing power to electronic devices (PCs, tablets, smartphones) via a remote infrastructure. There are some advantages and disadvantages of using cloud computing in a business environment. I will be describing three advantages and three disadvantages of using cloud computing in everyday business.
It allows an organization to quickly scale to meet growing demand. The cloud allows you to access information such as photos, spreadsheets, email, etc. from any device that is connected to the Internet. You can take a picture from your smart phone, have it automatically saved to the cloud, and then access that photo from your home computer. The photo is then stored and hosted on a computer maintained by the cloud provider so the end user who took the photo does not have to maintain and support the computer that is hosting the
Apple Computer had introduced many of the now-commonplace features of personal computers, including the GUI, the mouse, the floppy disk drive, and color graphics. Apple Computer 's Macintosh line of PC 's had brought numerous software and hardware components within reach of the average home consumer, often in a stylish case and with an emphasis on usability. The restructured company, now called simply Apple, designs, markets, and sells not only personal computers but also consumer electronics in the form of
Privacy is a fundamental right and most governments around the world have tried to protect the privacy rights of their citizens. A person has the right to determine what kind of information is taken about them and the purpose of that information. This helps to protect people
For nearly twenty years, Apple computers have been the industry standard for creative industries such as publishing, advertising, digital music and video editing, and graphic design. Apple computer and peripheral products include Macbook and Macbook Pro laptops, iMac and Mac Pro desktops, as well a line of flat-panel displays and the
Despite this Mac has continued to gain popularity in the market. It 's programs have proved to be more stable than Windows, as a result of this hardware for the systems generally last longer as well. This is due to the fact that Mac systems have more features that monitor and regulate the activities, temperatures, and functions that can wear a system down faster. Mac computers also become known for their vivid aqua screen. Because of this many graphic designers, special effects editors, and even musicians have switched to using Mac computers. Even despite their price, which to this day remains higher than the competition, Mac still shares a steady part of the market and its popularity continues to grow. One of the biggest things that has kept Apple very competitive in the market is their version of the tablet. They have also developed the iPhone and the iPod. Apple was the first to not only create these devices but also they made these devices work with each other in a way that no other company has done with any of their devices before.
Everyone is going to the “cloud” for storage, but what exactly does that mean? Where is the cloud and is it secure? What are the benefits of storing data on the Cloud?
Apple Inc. is a manufacturing company that produces and markets mobile and media devices, personal computers, and portable digital music players. In addition to these devices, they also sell a variety of software, services, peripherals, networking solutions, and third-party digital content and applications that can be accessed through the devices. Some of these popular devices that are manufactured and sold by the company include Macintosh computers, iPhones, iPods, and iPads. The Macintosh computer may be the most popular device that has been created by Apple. When it was released in 1984, it became the first computer to successfully use a Graphical User Interface. This allowed users to navigate the device by selecting pictures on the screen by using the click of a mouse. The success of this creation inspired the development of modern computers. It helped to launch the use of the Graphical User Interface that most modern-day computers use today.
The operating system that my computer uses is called Windows 10. This is one of the newer operating systems available to Windows users, and it contains a lot of features that are designed to make the computer more user-friendly, while adding a modern element. This operating system was designed to mirror the newer devices like iPads and tablets, and it allowed a lot of apps to be added to the PCs that it’s installed on.
