WINDOWS VS MAC by Jorge Carty

... but Microsoft is catching up.
Apple prides itself on design ...                 



  There are a lot of differences between a Mac and a Windows computers. There are a lot of things so mention. Their laptops are differently designed, Apple spends a lot of years to design their laptops because they are trying to make it as comfortable as possible, Microsoft is doing the same thing now, they came up with the Surface book with a Surface pen. Microsoft claims that this Surface book is as twice as fast than a MacBook Pro, the Surface's screen can be detached from the keyboard and be used as a tablet with the Surface pen or your finger.






Image result for money image    Something we all agree on is that a Windows laptops are cheaper than the MacBooks. Some people claim that Windows offers better laptops for less money, that Windows runs better than Macs but there are a lot of opinion around the whole discussion. Windows laptops have a starting price of around $500 when the MacBook Air laptop is the cheapest in Apple with an starting price of $899. I didn't know about this but Windows super fans call this ''Apple tax''.



Macs tend to be safer against malware and viruses.    One advantage that Macs have is that, they are most likely to not get a Virus and one the of the main reasons is that there are fewer Macs than Windows laptops out there, which makes Apple a smaller target for the attackers. This won't last forever, A tons of new viruses are being presented in Macs computers and that number is increasing. Apple claims that there are new types of encryption and security features were added in the recent OS S El Capitan release to keep your computer and information safe.




    In my opinion, both computers are good but they are out there for different purposes. People said that if you are trying to go hardcore in gaming, the best choice for you is a Windows computer but if you are a business person, the most popular computers for those type of  jobs are Macs. This is what i believe or this is my opinion about both computers.

COMPARING THE DIFFERENT IMAGE FILE FORMATS by Jorge Carty Diaz

1. Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image that was created by US-based software writer Steve Willhite while working at the bulletin board service provider CompuServe on June 15, 1987 and now days is used by a lot of people for different purposes. 2. A raw file is the image as seen in the camera's sensor, this allows you to process the image to your liking. 3. Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) have two sub formats called JPG/Exif usually used by photographic equipment and JPG/JFIF are often used in the WWW. 4. Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression and it was created as an improvement, non-patented replacement for GIF.

My experience in the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Image
This experience was great! I loved everything i saw in the museum but of course, there are some stuff that could have been better. Let's start with the negatives so we can finish up with the positives. One negative aspect about the trip was the waiting time outside. It really was a pain to have to wait for around 30-40 minutes outside in the rain. It really didn't feel good but i believe the staff was doing everything as fast as they could to get every single student inside the museum. In the museum i got to talk to many representatives of different programs around New York and they gave us stuff like posts its, pens, little notebooks, pins, stickers, etc. These programs offered many activities, some of them paid and some others free, and these programs were really interesting because one of them offered game development classes, others musical classes and more. I was surprised by the variety of stuff you were able to sign up for, and all of them were really nice and friendly. ...

LAB 8 - Flash Talk Page by Jorge Carty Diaz

Image
In the lab 8 called "Flash Talk Page" we had to do many things. Maybe it wasn't many things but it was definitely stuff that takes time to prepare and make. In this lab we made a 2 minute speech of an internet issue giving information about the topic in a simple way that everyone would understand. We had a research phase where we were supposed to collect information about the topic. Then we got into the writing phase, which was basically organizing the information we collected from our research and making it 2 minutes long. Then we entered in the recording phase which consisted on recording ourselves reading the speech we prepared in the previous phase. I decided to make the video in my house since i wanted to do it with my own equipment and i believe it turned out being pretty good. Lastly, we came to the coding phase which is basically embedding the video into the HTML document for everyone to see. This probably was my favorite lab by far because i got to combine my t...
