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.

Would you try a new network? all feb 10 nat

Personally I wouldn't try new networks, unless I have friends there. A lot of my friends are focused on Facebook, and I don't mind sharing my content with people I am friends with, as I usually decline requests from strangers, and are friends with people who I actually know or have mutual friends. However, I wouldn't mind giving Pinterest a go, as I think it sounds interesting, and also it sounds like Tumblr, which I like a lot, because we can share images with people with the same interest.

What might you use? march 25 soo

I might use Adobe Buzzword, BibMe and 4 shared. For example Adobe Buzzword is helping me to write document on desktop therefore I can prepare my report or essay perfectly with free cost. BibMe is making citations in MLA format automatically so I don't have to spend my time writing and sort out about citation formatting. 4 shared is good program which gives all users free 5 GB of storage. So that I can save my work and I don't have to bring my USB all the time and if there is internet access, I can access to the internet and work on my work which saved in 4 shared.

Why are copyright violations a serious problem? Describe two advantages and two issues with illegitimate downloading. Explain two possible solutions to this kind of piracy. all feb 13 chut

*Why copyright violations are serious problem?

Why are copyright violations are a serious problem? Major entertainment companies are losing millions and billions or money due to these copyright violations. More people are turning to online pirated goods instead of buying legitimately. These companies who are losing their profits are not happy about this problem. Describe two advantages and two issues with illegitimate downloading. One advantage is that pirated download saves you a lot of money. You wouldn't have to spend any money downloading these stuffs. Another advantage is that you can mass download it or download just some parts of it. For example if I wanted to listen to only one song of an album I can just download it off the internet for free, I wouldn't have to buy the real Cd which costs quite a lot of money and listen to only one song. Most artists today sell their Cd's for a high price but the qualities of their songs are not so high plus one Cd usually contains only 5 to 8 tracks. Comparing with the old times, one Cd contains about 15 to 20 tracks and it would still cost less and the songs do have good quality. An issue to this is that it is illegal. Downloading pirated goods are not so different from shoplifting or stealing. These goods have owners which the owners are willing to sell them but we who download them illegally are just taking them for granted. Another issue is that if this continues then the companies will not make as much many as before. This of course would affect the artists, celebrities, directors etc., directly. It can cause problems with jobs. If those people do not make money, then there would be no jobs. There are many jobs in the entertainment business which can be destroyed by this issue. Explain two possible solutions to this kind of piracy. One possible solution is to make it legal to download pirated goods. It may be the best solution possible at this moment. Many people are agreeing that it should be legal when it comes to downloading pirated goods. The enterta

Who's the winner in your opinion and why? be sure to read page 2 march 3 cream

In my opinion it would be Ipad, but that's only if you're too intense about the aesthetics of Apple's iPad. I am sure that many people are obsessed with the look and how famous Apple products are. Even though Motorola Xoom seems to be better. i know how good Motorola Xoom is base on the rear end camera and the wider screen. But, new Ipad is out now! There is camera too which much better design. I believe that new Ipod would get develop much more.

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.

Now that's what I call corporate trolling.

How can iphone be hijacked? How can a user tell if she is being SMS attacked? April 26 woo

was i supposed to do this? it wasnt on the list so i didnt know...

1. How can iphone be hijacked? The experts say that what you would know when your iphone is being hijacked is when one giveaway is if you receive a text message containing a single square character. If that happens, he suggests you immediately turn off your iPhone. The iPhone can be hijacked through a series of invisible SMS message bursts that hijacks the iPhone. The attacker would then be able to control all the functions on the iPhone, as well as continue to send messages to hijack more phones. 2. How can a user tell if she is being SMS attacked? The researchers said the hack involves sending a series of mostly invisible SMS bursts that effectively hijack an iPhone. From thereon, a hacker could control all the functions on the iPhone, such as e-mailing, dialing contacts - and, most alarmingly, sending more text messages to hijack even more iPhones. A user can tell if she is being SMS attacked if they receive a message containing a square character. Prevention measures include immediately turning off your iPhone.

Define: AWS Iaas Define and describe: Free redundancy rapid scalability server failover maintainability Explain each lesson and determine whether you agree or not with each one. May 13 az

1) Define: AWS- The Amazon Web Services (AWS) are a collection of remote computing services (also calledweb services) that together make up a cloud computing platform, offered over the Internet byAmazon.com. The most central and well-known of these services are Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3. Iaas - infrastructure-as-a-service; a way to deploy a less reliable server, quickly and without human intervention. 2) Define and describe: Free redundancy- re-deploying your application in another data center or cloud service using on-demand resources instead of having an idle redundant data center. Rapid scalability- Scalability approach that doesn't require access to AMIs that is stored on S3 or EBS. Instead, it uses the on-demand resources. This is when the system can withstand changes in transaction volume without major changes. Server failover- Virtual servers fail more frequently that physical servers, and when they do, there is less ability to recover them. Treat server failover the same way as scalability, just bring up a new server. Maintainability- Use a fully automated deployment and not a server configuration that is created manually to make it maintainability. Since, when a server configuration that is created manually and saved to a "golden image" has numerous problems such as: only the person who built it knows what is there, so if that person is gone, it can be time consuming to re-configure it. On the other hand, a fully automated deployment is not only a maintainable process, it also serves as documentation. 3) Explain each lesson and determine whether you agree or not with each one. Wrong lesson #1 The lesson where the infrastructure of the cloud is either not ready for its time to shine, or never will be. This is the lesson that explains that the infrastructure is still carried out on physical servers, just in remote areas where they are held in the physical data center in large numbers. These physical server

Explain: NoSQL non-relational database Explain the advantages of CouchDB's noSQL . May 9 soo

 Explain  NoSQL= NoSQL is a category of database engines that do not support the SQL (Structured Query Language) in order to achieve performance or reliability features that are incompatible with the flexibility of SQL. - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4154635/what-is-nosql-what-is-purpose-of-nosql-where-can-i-get-sufficient-material-on-n  Non-relational database= a non-relational database developed by Damien Katz, now the chief technology officer for Couchbase. The company claims that Mobile Couchbase is the first non-relational, or NoSQL database, built for iOS. - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/202819/what-is-an-example-of-a-non-relational-database-where-how-are-they-used  Explain the advantages of CouchDB's noSQL - CouchDB and noSQL architecture has a number of advantages that make it attractive to iPhone applications developers, the company asserts. - CouchDB= Efficient use of working memory, Amount of storage space (takes up relatively minimal, under 20 megabytes download size limit imposed by many people CouchDB's NoSQL has advantages such as its synchronization capabilities with minimal coding. Data can be automatically synchronized across a network. The app can store data created on the phone itself, all the while also synchronizing the same data with a cloud service or a data center. The storage space taken up by CouchDB's NoSQL has efficient use of working memory. When it is embed in an app, it can still keep the app to be under the 20 mb download limit, and doesn't drain the battery.

Agree or disagree? all feb 10 soobin

Agree Agree to some extent. Internet freedom can be sacrificed only to a certain extent to fight piracy. Getting rid of internet freedom is basically the same thing as shutting out the communication lines of the world. The source of the reason why piracy is done is mainly due to the fact that people can't afford the items that they wish to use, or need to use, because they are ridiculously overpriced. These industries don't think that way because they want profit, however, if piracy was stopped, then no one will buy their products anyways because they still can't afford it. Popularity of the product will decrease, and the marketing of the product basically just failed. We need to compromise something so that piracy is decreased until there is no more. But suddenly stopping everything in one shot with something like SOPA isn't the way to go. Disagree I disagree. The internet should be free and open. We need to educate people not to download pirated software, movies and music. Doing so is the same as stealing from a shop, which most people would not do. Most people would be prepared to pay small amount for the right to download these things. If governments try to remove websites, it is the same as censorship which sometimes happens in dictatorships but should not happen in free societies. We really need freedom for the internet, so that we can easily share our own ideas, and thoughts. Unlike China, where people can't even talk gossip about governments, which is a basic human right. But China is still very famous for internet piracy. The United States should not have the power to prevent freedom of internet because they are not the world's police force. They should not have the power to dictate what happens in the rest of the world. That's why internet freedom should not be sacrificed.

1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. The area of impact the scenario relates to is 'business and employment'. 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. The main stakeholders to the IT system from this article are the RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) and customers. 3. Identify and describe one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. The social/ethical concern that has been identified in this article is 'security'. Security refers to the protection of hardware, software from unauthorized access. Security tries to prevent the access by hackers. In this article, the RBA has been hacked (cyber attacked). For an example, the malware has embedded in the emails. They think it is China to blame because they thought that China has already been through a similar cyber attack, which aimed to get the information out of it. The staffs in the RBA have opened several malware emails. This malware application has managed to go through the computer system. 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. * Malware: Malware refers to software programs that are designed to damage or do other unwanted actions on a computer system. * Cyber Attack: Cyber attackers use malicious code to alter computer code,logic or data, resulting in disruptive consequences that can compromise data and lead to cyber-crimes (information and identity theft). * Computer Viruses: Small but insidious piece of programming-code that attacks computer and network systems through infected data files, introduced into a system via disks or Internet. 5. Describe the solution stated in the article or find a solution to the concern (issue) discussed in the article. Even though the RBA did not lose any of their information, it's better to have a safe security system/software to protect their information. The RBA needs to be more careful when opening email files, and for a better protection, they would need to find a better way to secure. I would suggest them to have an encryp
