Which would you use? march 17 kuni

I would use Google Sketchup, because this is one of the applications that I have on my computer. Google Sketchup is a software with which you can make a 3D model easily. Compared to the other 3D modeling software, Google Sketchup is easier to use. It has some tutorials for beginners, and you will find out how easy it is to create 3D model like a kid making a tower of blocks. Also, if you buy it, you will be able to convert it to a file that can be used for other 3D modeling software and modding games. I would use Google Trends just to see what's trending and Flight simulator in Google earth sounds pretty fun for when you're bored. I would use ; Google Page Creator, Flight simulator in Google Earth, and SketchUp. I would use the fight simulator, because it looks fun, and SketchUp mainly because I've always wanted to do some sort of graphics design on the computer. -In my opinion I would like to use Google SketchUp, and Google Book Search. First of all Google Sketch Up is helping me to make 3-D model. This is very useful in art class because when we have something like installations, we need some sketch of location and installation therefore by this program, I can draw 3-D installation and see how it looks like therefore this program is very useful for me. Also For the Google Book Search, this is kind of digital library which I can find book very easily and efficiently. I can see the books by this program also I can upload by own books which I can scan it. Therefore it might be very useful when I have something like writing essays. I would use Google Page creator. It enables to me create a page where I can find snippets of web pages, quotes, and images all over the web.

Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. - JBPA, The Japanese Magazine Publishers Association, the Electronic Book Publishers Association of Japan, the Digital Comic Association, Apple. 3. 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

Does the Net allow more freedom or is it a tool for governments and businesses to control us? The Net allows both. The users can roam freely to their discretion where and what they want to put onto the web. It is just a matter of a country censoring the content, or the user self-censoring what is to be put on the web. Also, the governments and businesses both can use the Net to their advantage. The government can learn and find out various information of various individuals and trends of the public through the Net's social networking websites and other portal that have discussion between citizens themselves. Business are able to keep track of trends to see what is happening, such as the stock prices to what people like to eat, listen to, what they like to use. Thus the businesses are able to stay in business a little easier through knowing the information from the web. The businesses can also advertise themselves through the net, and that way, it is actually faster than having actual offline campaigns and advertisement. Therefore, the net can allow us both. We are free to use it more than let it control us. It's just a matter of fact that higher class society, social ranking, or economic status-ed has more chances to controlling the net due to their connections with the higher ups. Yet, censorship and surveillance is everywhere, and thus doesn't allow absolute freedom.

Is this a good or bad idea? Feb 14 Alec

I believe that this is a good idea because the children will get an ipad for $500 and also the text books included this will cut down on the price of schooling because instead of having to pay more money for books. Also this will give the children more up to date knowledge on current events because they will get updates from around the world everyday.

Discuss the advantages and problems with etextbooks. all feb 3 johnny

Advantages: The advantage of using an electronic textbook is that you're not wasting tones of paper and inks that it been stamp or written on the textbook. This would be already a good sign of eco-friendly. The etextbook also give the option that another textbook couldn't do by adding music and videos to it. The idea of carrying an electronic device that is not so heavy like the thick books would relief you already. Disadvantages: The trouble of the etextbooks is that the prices of the textbooks dosent reduce extensively enough for the students. Another Issue is that student can't sell their textbooks anymore to others when they are not using anymore. To get these types of etextbooks you need to spend an amount of $500 iPad which is very expensive for some people.

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

1. Identify the scenario. Business 2. Describe a social/ethical concern and the relationship of one primary stakeholder to the IT system in the article. Security is a social/ethical concern because it regards the security of the Database Servers that are used to store the Domain Names and IP addresses. With insufficient security, the database security can be breached by outsiders and be altered. The primary stakeholder is Group NBT, and is the domain name management firm of NetNames and Ascio whose DNS Databases were compromised in this attack. Their SQL commands were infiltrated by the hackers, so that the information stored on their DNS Database was altered, that made website visitors be re-directed to spam websites. 3. Describe the IT concepts and processes. Domain Name System (DNS) - The address book for the website that links the URL of websites to IP address numbers that computers use to visit a website. IP Address - The numbers that are separated by period dots that make up a website's numerical address of its location. (DNS) Database - A database is a massive spreadsheet with numerous data types and forms used to store large amounts of data (in this case, websites' domain names URL and their respective IP addresses.) SQL Injection - SQL stands for Structured Query Language, used for database manipulation. This is a hacking method by using the various layers present in SQL commands, by 'injecting' a hidden command that enables to create a loop hole for access and change the database information. This includes changing strings of commands in the original SQL command into malicious commands, that are executed when the altered SQL command is executed. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms161953.aspx

4. Explain the relationship between the IT system referred to in the article and the concern presented above. The security of the DNS Databases run by NetNames and Ascio (two subsidiaries of domain name management firm Group NBT) is a concern. Their SQL commands were being altered and compromised, which resulted in the altered domain names and IP address links. Their relationship is that the concern is the IT system's (in this case the Database's) security. The IT system, Group NBT's Database, has a concern over it's security. The DNS Database system has a security concern because the hackers were able to alter the paths of redirecting certain websites to scam websites instead through a SQL Injection attack that manipulates the SQL command used to manipulate the domain name database. 5. Describe and evaluate the impact of a social/ethical issue on the stakeholders The social/ethical issue is security. The stakeholders are Vodafone, the Daily Telegraph, UPS, and four other websites, Turkish hackers (Turkguvenligi), and internet users who visited those seven websites within the hacking duration. This has an impact on their security issue because their database has already been compromised once, and unless they create a new system of security to prevent SQL injections, they will never be able to know when someone is changing their SQL command strings. They need to have someone constantly monitoring their SQL to see if there are any changes. The security issue impacts Group NBT because it makes their customers that use their services doubt the secure service because hackers were able to alter the redirection of customers to scam websites instead of their respective website. Therefore security, to a large extent, has an impact on Group NBT. 6. Explain and evaluate one solution to the issue identified. A solution to the issue identified by NBT was to further review their Database system to ensure customers of a more secure service, since it is impossible for a
