    The Piracy Problem: How Broad? Why are copyright violations are a serious problem? Copyright violations are a serious problem because it is equivalent to stealing. A person who watches from free online movies doesn't realize that all the people behind the movie used their time, labor and energy to create that movie, not to mention the amount of money that was used to produce the movie. So, to broadcast it to as free movie is truly unfair for all the industries concerned. Describe two advantages and two issues with illegitimate downloading. Advantages: (1) People around the world who can't afford to have it have the option of having for free. (2) It is available anytime, anywhere in the world. Issues: (1) Million of dollars as revenues and earnings are stolen from industries (movie, music, TV, etc.). (2) It will cause the affected industries to increase the price of their "product" when purchasing it legitimately. Explain two possible solutions to this kind of piracy. Possible solutions: (1) If people around the world really see stealing as a morally corrupt practice, then let us all shun away from the use of the internet. (2) If we can't afford to avoid the disadvantages of the Internet, let us all practice, encourage and teach honesty. This golden virtue is the only potent cure against SOPA and PIPA. Not enough is being done to tackle cyberbullying, according to the NSPCC. Give examples of cyberbullying. Some examples of cyberbullying are the following: receiving nasty text messages or e-emails 24/7. Describe possible solutions. Some possible solutions are the following: students must not give their mobile number to acquaintances or other students who are their close friends; never chat to anyone whom you don't know; when you received nasty text messages from your mobile phone, change your mobile phone number right away; and lastly be very selective in choosing whom to friend in FB or in other social networks.

    Most smart appliances have an accompanying application. Those applications are available on iOS and android. (Samsung's washer and dryer application is working on only iOS and Samsung's Galaxy mobile devices, not the rest of the Android devices.) There are some examples of using iOS to control the smart appliances 1. LG Smart ThinQ LFX31995ST LG Smart ThinQ app will tell you the internal temperatures of both the refrigerator and freezer, and whether it's on energy-saving mode or not. You can make grocery lists and automatically update your inventory once you've checked an item off the list. Also, you can search for recipes on the fridge based on what your fridge has in stock. 2. Whirlpool WRL767SIAM Side-by-Side Refrigerator with 6th Sense Live it transmits information directly to the free app on your smart device. Whirlpool's app can let you know, if the refrigerator door is open or if there has been a power outage. Whirlpool has also enabled this refrigerator to connect to the smart grid if it's available in your area, which will let you monitor energy usage through its app. 3. GE Profile PT9550SFSS Built-In Double Convection Wall Oven The game-change app turns your phone into a remote control for the oven. You can set the temperature, mode, and time for both ovens independently and turn them on with app. 4.

APP- CESSIBLE - 3 views

    The universe of apps has made life more convenient, more fun and more distracting. For example, you can find your lover. But in truth, most apps are designed for those whose life is already convenient. According survey there are total of 1.4 million people with disabilities in thailand. Worldwide, there are many apps which help facilitate the lives of physically impaired. 1. TTRS MESSAGE. This service allows people with hearing or speech impairment to place calls to standard telephone users via a keyboard or assistive device. TTRS operators interpret the calls, which can be initiated by either party. Callers use a text input device to contact the TTRS relay centre, then give the operator the number of the party he or she wants to call. The operator, in turn, will place an outbound traditional voice call to that particular party. The operator serves as a link between the two callers, relaying the text of the initial caller in voice to the other party, as well as converting spoken words to text. The service was first offered only via desktop and kiosk platforms, but it is now available to mobile users via an app. 2.Read for the blind. Wichai Pornpratang, vice president of telecommunications business at Thai Samsung Electronics, said the main technology used to develop this app is a voice recorder which records users reading. Those audio files are uploaded to the Thai Blind People Foundation's server. Then converted to DAISY3 books to achieve an acceptable level of audio quality. With this format, users can serach for and regulate reading voices, make duplicates and place bookmarks. 3.Wheel Go Round It is windows phone application for wheelchair users that locates and rates the nearest wheelchair accessible facilities such as parking areas, elevators, ramps and toilets. The app also allows users to take photos and add places where facilities for those in wheelchairs are available. It is great benefit, but the app could be improved if it allowed users to scan for t

Identify one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article - Intellectual property 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. - Apps: Apps is an abbreviation for application. An app is a piece of software. It can run on the Internet, on your computer, or on your phone or other electronic device. - Copyright: a set of exclusive rights granted to the author or creator of an original work, including the right to copy, distribute and adapt the work. The App Store is some kind of a database for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad created by apple that allows users to browse, download and install app on their devices. Applications in an app store can vary in cost, from free downloads to quite costly ones, depending on who developed the application and its purpose. Software Apps, E-books that are sold through the app store are pirated. This software is basically electronic books, similar to real life books, where its contents are stored online. This Japanese copyright infringement is done through software that is uploaded through the internet that can be downloaded for a price. However, the payment is delivered to the offender, not the original person who owns the contents' rights. These pirated apps are Chinese -based language apps which plays a role in delaying the notice of the copyright infringement. 5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). Illegal distribution of copyrighted property should be banned. However, the massive infringe of the law is common in China. There should be more strict policy and laws in national level to reduce the number of these issues, such as measurement and specified steps of installing and removing application to satisfy companies wor

Privacy controversy over Path for iPhone, iPad should be a wake-up call - The Washingto... - 10 views

    Explain the issue with Path. Evaluate Apple's solution.  Should services such as Path take or hold our data? all feb 21 johnroy

    Explain the issue with Path. When you take apps by log in from your iOS device then it would take you personal information and put it into the Apple server. It does this without permission of the user. The reason why is doing this to locate the user where you are at and your friends. Evaluate Apple's solution. Their solution is just to add new feature so you would be aware that apps would take your private information and put into the main server apple server. When you're downloading or getting apps you need to approve that they get you privacy information. Should services such as Path take or hold our data? I believe that they shouldn't because it's hard to trust large companies. The information that they have could be sold to other person that interest about your privacy. Another possible solution is that the data that is stored could be hacked anytime and when this occurrence happens. The hacker can sell my privacy to someone or he directly knows where I live, what's my name and etc.

    Jean October 10th  Describe the IT system by watching the video Answer here
  •  
    Basically just watch the video... ok lets start 1. The apps used in the supermarket needs to be downloaded by the clients before use. 2. Enter the store and open your apps from your mobile. 3. Pick the goods you want and scan the code off the bar code (using your cell phone) 4. The list of goods you buy will be store into your cell phone. 5. After scanning click the finish shopping button on your apps and the cell phone will generate a big bar-code which mix all the code you scan into one master-code. (like mixing salad after you put vegetables in) 6. Go to the paying counter and insert the master-code into the paying machine. 7. The machine will tell you how much to pay and client pay by cash, credit card and etc, Extra ( you can play stepping on fish in the supermarket for fun) Oh and there is a useless robot roaming around also.

Tracking iPhone thieves prompts killswitch call - 2 views

  •  
    This article starts with issue of one woman losing her iPhone, which was stolen by someone who lives 20 km away from her. Since there is a app called Track my iPhone, she used this app to go after the thieve and asked for her iPhone back. Not only her who had been finding the thief herself but lots of people are doing it to avoid conflict with the police. This is causing a concern with the police officer because of the increase in phone robbery in many places and if these are gang member, it can cause life to be lost. Even though the police had devoted more resources to combat the theft, but accessibility of police is quite low. Therefore, people usually like to take action alone neglecting the danger that they might find. Therefore, police came up with further and better solution called 'kill switch'. Which automatically make your phone unavailable and unattractive to the thieves.

    How does apple propose to solve the tracking program? Describe two examples of data tracking services that people use. Do you think privacy is still an issue with phones and apps? May 17 cream
  •  
    1. How does apple propose to solve the tracking program? Apple released newly developed software that cuts the amount of stored data to just a week and no longer transfer it to the owner's computer when the phone is connected. And if users disable the location services setting on their iPhone or iPad, it will stop collecting data completely. 2. Describe two examples of data tracking services that people use. - Foursquare: Foursquare is a location-based social networking website based on software for mobile devices. - Mobile Me: Mobile Me automatically pushes new email, contacts, and calendar events to your iPhone, Mac, and PC. So your devices always stay in perfect sync. 3. Do you think privacy is still an issue with phones and apps? Of course yes because mobile devices are connected to networks for all the time in order to access to files and media. Privacy is always going to be an issue with phones and apps because even though Apple is storing data for shorter time, the stored data can be used or leaked anytime when threats attack.

These guidelines (it's NOT a program) will help customers decide what data phone companies can collect about them. Customers will be able to allow or refuse phone companies from passing on personal data to other companies. These guidelines protect the customer, not the mobile phone. An example of an app which currently shares information without permission from the customer is "Girls Around Me" app.

Starbucks has offered its own mobile payment app since last year and processes more than a million payments a week. Customers will continue to be able to use it, but they will also be able to use Pay With Square, Square's cellphone app, which eliminates even having to take the phone out of your pocket or sign a receipt.

But when Starbucks uses Square's full GPS technology, the customer's phone will automatically notify the store that the customer has entered, and the customer's name and photo will pop up on the cashier's screen.

PayPal Debuts Its Newest Hardware, Beacon, A Bluetooth LE Enabled Device For Hands-Free... - 6 views

  •  
    One of David Marcus's biggest challenges when taking on the role of President of PayPal was extending the platform into point of sale, and making it easier to pay with PayPal than swiping your credit card. But changing consumer behavior is an enormously difficult task. PayPal played with geo-location leveraging GPS and Wi-Fi for iOS and Android. These technologies are what powers Square's hands free payment system 'Pay with Square. But they found that it ended up being a poor experience for the consumer because it sucked the batter life out of their phones. PayPal also warns that it is aware of the potential privacy issues so PayPal Beacon won't constantly track your location unlike other technologies. If you enter a store and decline to check in, or just ignore the prompt entirely, no information is transmitted to PayPal or the merchant. PayPal has also said that there will be no ads served via the platform. As evidenced by PayPal latest app update from last week, the company is making a big bet on creating an in-store experience for both consumers and retailers. It's ambitious to say the least because not only does the payments company have to change the behavior of the consumer (from just swiping a card) but it also has to convince retailers and the 100 million plus PayPal users that it is worth it. Marcus says that providing a frictionless experience for both parties will be the key to success when changing behavior.
