The Mac is the same as any other computer except it has a different operating system. It is a normal notebook made of aluminum and plastic, a hard dive a processor and graphics chip. Everything is essentially the same except the Operating System.
Window's based computers use the Windows Operating System, it is based on MS-DOS which is based on DOS. Apple computers use the Mac OS which is based on both OpenStep and FreeBSD.
Each Operating System supports different programs and works differently as in communication with the core CPU and use of RAM in organization of tasks.
So now taking into account that the actual pysical structure of a Macbook Pro (for example) is the same as that of an Asus K53SC (same RAM but Asus graphics chip and battery are better); and taking into account that the Mac OS is based on FreeBSD (which is free, as hinted by the name); the real price of a Macbook Pro should be 600-700€. It is overpriced and can withstand less programs than a Windows PC...
In conclusion, buy a PC and install Linux, this makes a cheap and better Mac.
Bill Gates' company Microsoft has a division dedicated to creating programs for the mac operating system. The division owns an entire lab of the cutting edge macs and averaged mac desktops to develop and test there hardware and software.

How do you add album artwork to more than one song at a time?
Firstly, you will need to select all of the songs. Do this by pressing Shift and the down arrow to highlight a whole album. Secondly, make sure you have the item's artwork/video viewer shown in the bottom left hand corner. If it isn't you will need to click on the upwards arrow, which should be the fourth button from the left. Finally, copy and paste the album artwork you would like into the box in the bottom left hand corner and it should start processing it into each of the items you have selected. CAUTION: Be aware that you shouldn't select a song already containing album artwork as the item will then contain two images instead of one. However this will not be noticeable unless you are to go into 'Get Info' and 'Artwork'.
Is mac more secure than windows?
Only in terms of general hacker focus, yes.
However, many Pwn2Own competitions have demonstrated the ability to hack a Mac in 20 seconds flat. Also, Apple are excruciatingly slow to patch flaws in Mac OSX, so if Mac OSX takes off in a big way, expect serious security implications.
If you are really looking for secure, a linux-based operating system may be the best way to go. Ubuntu 10.04 in particular is very useable as an operating system, and is relatively light on system resources (in comparison to windows vista/7, idk bout OSX)

What is segmented page allocation?
Segmented page allocation is a type of memory management that uses base and bound registers to determine memory faults, similar to dynamic page allocation. More importantly it is different to dynamic page allocation since the entire process doesn't have to be in memory, similar to using virtual memory paging where the program is broken into pieces. Unlike virtual memory paging, the maximum virtual memory size is limited to the size of physical memory.
