University shifts from Windows PCs to Apple’s Macintosh
March 17, 2007
Wilkes University pulled the plug on PCs on its campus in favor of Apple’s Macintosh machines. Wilkes University is now being touted by Apple as one of the first American Colleges who acted in favor of a campus-wide shift from Windows PCs to Macs.
The move by Wilkes will save the Pennsylvania liberal arts college more than $150,000 through reduced inventory from nearly 1,700 computers to around 1,450. . According to Scott Byers, Vice President for Finance and Head of Campus IT,
” This is an aggressive technology refresh. We will be able to reduce the number of machines by about 250 campus wide, because labs and classrooms were typically outfitted with an inefficient PC-Mac mix. A class suitable for 30, for instance, might be equipped with 20 PCs and 20 Macs because each class and each department had its own preference for what computers and what software they liked to use. We think it will save $150,000 directly, in buying fewer units – even though the Macs cost more per unit than PCs ” he said.
The shift from Windows PCs to Apple Macs began last year after Apple announced its new Intel-based models and the introduction of Apple’s Boot Camp which allows people to have and run multiple Operating Systems such as Windows and Apple’s OS X on the same computer.
He also cited the additional security of Mac OS X, school-wide access to Apple’s iLife suite, and Apple’s operating system itself as side benefits. “It is, well, the superior OS, isn’t it?” said Byers, who before the switch was a dyed-in-the-wool Windows user.
Although the $1.4 million three-year switch – which started last year with the purchase of approximately 500 Macs – means Wilkes is all-Apple, students are free to choose any operating system, said Byers. “There’s no Mac mandate.”
Most of them pick one anyway: “This generation seems to prefer Macs,” he added.

December 14, 2006
Most of you have seen Apple’s I am a Mac ads touting the virtues and benefits of Apple products. Well now Microsoft produced a clever parody pitting a Zune totting PC with an iPod carrying Mac.
The message Microsoft wants to convey “How simple it is to get music onto Microsoft’s Zune vs how difficult it is to get music onto the iPod.”
Now here is the problem: Whom are you going to share your Zune songs with if all your friends have an iPod?

December 14, 2006
Bloggingstocks have received an interesting tip that the Apple iPhone will have a January 15 release date.
Reason why this might be true:
Apple’s MacWorld Expo runs from January 9-12 and Apple is expected to launch the iPhone and then maybe ship it at a later date.
As always, anything related to Apple is always a major source of interest in the Blogosphere. So this tentative release date might just be nothing.
While we are speculating on the release date of the iPhone, check out the speculative design of the Apple iPhone.
Update(source macrumors): Morgan Stanley analyst Rebecca F Runkle has “high conviction” that the iPhone will launch in the first half of 2007. In addition to this, she cites unnamed sources to provide some specs for the unreleased Apple phone:
- $599 for 4GB
- $649 for 8GB
- Wider than the iPod nano
- Thinner than the iPod Video
- Made of Metal
- Multiple colors, but at least including black, white, and silver
- Cingular Wireless is likely carrier in the U.S.
The iPhone will also feature a full screen LCD, will be 3.5″ and approx 4/10″ thick with a Virtual Click wheel.

November 28, 2006
This is a spec commercial for a new cell phone from Apple , the iPhone or the iTalk by award winning filmmaker Christopher DeSantis with design by Gregory DeSantis.
This potential design of the iPhone is a really good ingenious design. The fold out design manages to incorporate four functional faces in a predominantly two-sided structure, while at the same time shielding the sensitive interface keys from external elements. Plug in a 30Gig Hard drive on this baby, then you have a phone and an iPod together.
Downside: Apple has said before that the iPhone will not be a flip phone. Still, the design is awesome.
