Some rely on other countries for computer parts or etc. Many ask one question about outsourcing: is it Good or Bad?Outsourcing is costing American jobs daily. Some view that outsourcing is not affecting our economy. Some businesses are outsourcing because it is cheaper to pay the people from other countries that it is to pay American workers. In the background section of outsourcing examples are given of some companies that outsource for parts and labor.

  • On Wednesday, January 18, 2006, the U.S. Justice Department filed a motion to compel in United States district court in San Jose seeking a court order that would compel search engine company Google Inc. to turn over, "a multi-stage random sample of one million URL’s", from Google’s database, and a computer file with, "the text of each search string entered onto Google’s search engine over a one-week period (absent any information identifying the person who entered such query)."[68] Google maintains that their policy has always been to assure its users privacy and anonymity, and challenged the subpoena. On March 18, 2006, a federal judge ruled that while Google must surrender 50,000 random URLs, the Department of Justice did not meet the necessary burden to force Google to disclose any search terms entered by its users

  • A cell phone is a example of mobile and ubiquitous computing. A cell phone is mobile because it is able to be moved from one place to another. A cell phone is also ubiquitous because two people are able to communicate from different places by calling one another as well as SMS and video messaging. Lastly, a cell phone is classified as a computing device because it accepts input, processes that input into data that the cell phone can read, and produces output as information that a human can read.
  • Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing can be broken down into three separate words that can come together to make one topic. First, mobile means able to be moved. There are many technological mobile devices. There are cell phones, Ipods, portable DVD players, PDAs, laptops, and many other devices that can be moved or transported from one place to another. Second, ubiquitous means being present everywhere at once. Having the ability to stream live from a camera or cell phone to a website over the Internet makes that particular video ubiquitous.
