  • Apple's Technologies
    Apple’s Technologies Patrick Rayner, Head of Circulation [email protected] Mac Mac vs. PC (Windows) For the average user, either a Mac or a PC will perform the tasks they want to do on a computer. • Why you might choose a PC o Variety ‐ There will be more choices for hardware (computers, monitors, accessories) and software (programs, applications, media). Windows PCs are best for early‐adapters who like to be the first to try new technologies o Price – You can find a similar set of hardware and software cheaper in a Windows format o Business/Home Integration – Most offices use Windows. If you bring work to your home computer, it would be easiest (though not necessary) to work with the same technologies. • Why you might choose a Mac o Design – Apple tends to prize simplicity and consistency when it comes to the design of their products, which tends to make for minimal hassle and a better user experience. Apple’s focus is to design the best computer for home use, as opposed to business use, and it shows. o Creative profession/hobby – If you work in graphic design, web design, film editing, music production, or the like, you will be doing your work on a Mac. If you’d like to dabble in same, it might be worth looking into Macs o Security – Though they can acquire viruses, Macs tend not to get them. 2 Hardware Apple’s computers come in two basic forms – iMacs and notebooks • iMac o Desktop computers o 21.5” iMac starts at $1,199.

  • There's an App for That
    Information Brief There’s an App for That Apps Help Mobility Management Professionals Empower Their Customers One of mobility managers’ essential contributions to the lives of the customers they serve is their active role in connecting them to the transportation options that are most responsive to their needs. Whether their “customer” is an entire community, a specific agency customer, a particular target population, or individuals seeking assistance, mobility management practitioners excel at • Staying informed about the range of existing community transportation services, • Sharing that knowledge with customers, and • Helping people connect the dots so they have mobility throughout their entire trip. Although mobility managers will continue to provide value through delivering information, referral, and assistance services using paper-based and web-based products and services, the presence of and evolution of smartphone and computer applications (“apps”1) can transform the way in which they empower their customers. The popularity of apps has grown apace with the burgeoning growth in smartphone ownership and geographic coverage. Overall, 56% of American adults now own smartphones, and by 2015, the number of mobile Internet users is expected to reach 788 million. Having limited income does not seem to deter individuals in purchasing smart phones: 77% of 18–29 year olds with annual incomes less than $33,000 own one, although this number drops to 22% among 50–64 year olds in the same income bracket. 2 Smartphone ownership is not limited to younger generations either: 18% of Americans age 65 or older own a smartphone and 34% own tablets;3 91% of people with a disability own or use a wireless device.4 1 App: a self-contained program or piece of software designed to fulfill a particular purpose; an application, especially as downloaded by a user to a mobile device (Oxford Dictionary).

  • "Transportation Vision" with Arlington County Board Member
    August 1, 2013 - Issue 19 Dear Paul, The annual international conference of the Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT) is always a highlight for those of us in the mobility-management industry. It took place this week in San Antonio, Texas, and Mobility Lab is honored to have received the conference's top award in recognition for our efforts to showcase the groundbreaking efforts of Arlington County Commuter Services and many others. "This is a prestigious award that ACT gives, and we don't award it every year - only if an individual or group truly merits it," said Josh Kavanagh, president of ACT. "Mobility Lab is doing industry-leading work and providing the research to back it up. Even as a local, regional agency, Mobility Lab is striving to help lead and define the mobility-management industry. And it is making the effort to explain it in ways that even people outside of the transportation industry can understand and appreciate," Kavanagh added. Mobility Lab is honored to be recognized by our professional colleagues for our efforts to raise the profile of mobility management. With this award, we pledge to Paul Mackie, director continue working with our ACT colleagues to build awareness for the important of communications, Mobility Lab health, environmental, and societal impacts to be gained from mobility- management programs.
