Photo Editing Service | Photo Retouching Services | Edit Photos Online - 2 views

  •  
    Like in the situation given in our case study, this business offers a variety of services, but these focus mainly on photo retouching and editing. The site's design incorporates several elements which our own "client" business in the Case Study must deal with -- namely making site services and prices known to browsing users, and having customer help or an FAQ page on the website. In this site's case, the tour is also helpful for serving as a guide for new members, the role of which in the case study can be replaced by an about page or a help page instead.

RFID tags: Big Brother in small packages - 1 views

  •  
    A relatively old news article, that details concerns and issues about RFID tags that remain relevant, or have become more relevant over time. The article clearly defines law enforcement agents, criminals, marketing corporations, and the average consumer as stakeholders in the development and widespread use of RFID tags. The article describes the issue of privacy and unauthorized or undetected monitoring, whether for illegal use or law enforcement or for marketing schemes as rising from the continued functionality of RFID tags after they have served their purpose -- outside of the stores and past the RFID scanners. The article mentions several concerns, including the more widespread adoption of long-range RFID scanners by non-commercial groups or people, and their ability to be used as an invasion of privacy. Evidently, the technology that makes the continued functionality of RFID tags a privacy issue is in the way that each tag, which can be as small as a few centimeters long, can store various bits of data, such as when the item was bought, where the item was bought, for what price, and who bought it, in combination with the ability to use long-range RFID scanners to scan and detect this information outside of a store.
