Mac vs. PC: Who is the Victor?
Sometimes in life you have to choose sides. Your operating system – the software that makes your hardware run - is that very kind of scenario. Yes, the epic conflict between Macs and PCs is likely the biggest holy war in computing. But, does the whole debate boil down to a “Chevy/Ford” argument?
Is the overwhelming market share of PCs an indication that they’re the winner? Are Macs really as impervious to cyber attacks as their proponents suggest? Tune in this Weekend as Ken, Brandon, and Chad take a look at the two dominate operating systems and try to sort out the pros and cons of these two gladiators of the computing arena.
Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on

Vishing: Vishing is the practice of leveraging Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology to trick private personal and financial information from the public for the purpose of financial reward. The term is a combination of "voice" and phishing. Vishing exploits the public's trust in landline telephone services, which have traditionally terminated in physical locations which are known to the telephone company, and associated with a bill-payer. However, with the advent of VoIP, telephone services may now terminate in computers, which are far more susceptible to fraudulent attacks than traditional "dumb" telephony endpoints.
