Apple iPad 2 vs. Motorola Xoom - 2 views

  •  
    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.

People who go through full-body scans Operators controlling the scan machines 3. Identify one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article Privacy 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. The systems in this situation include both hardware and software. The hardware is the actual scanning machine while the software is the scanning machine's system that controls whether or not the scanned files of the people passing through are saved into the system or discarded or not. 5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). Modifying the system to remove the option of saving files could be useful because if the option to save was not present, then it can be assured that the operators do not have the ability to go against the policy. If it is a requirement for the system to need to save files, then the system should be modified to only save files that detect an abnormality that goes against the policy of the scanning. (For example if the scan shows that the person is carrying weapons etc.) Only having the authorized people to view it when it is need with stricter rules.

To diminish this issue, Google will have to ensure a secure system where datas of each customers are kept safe and not misused.

    Explain why Google considers the information created in social networks to be so important. M12 Sept 1 nat
  •  
    Basically, what people do on social networks are; like people's statuses, comment on others' pictures, retweet others' statuses and etc. This can help companies like Google determine what the user might be interested in, as these activities on social networks sites reflect the users' behaviour online. Moreover, we tend to show to other users what you are interested in, (like liking fan pages)therefore a lot of the information companies like Google can get out from these websites are accurate. They can then put sites that they might take interest in at the top (first page), which may be more efficient for the user looking for that information, and the website itself.

The security of the users' sensitive information is at risk when users click on spam links no matter from what source, from e-mails (which are decreasing now) to Twitter tweet links. By clicking onto these harmful links, users set free spam that can infiltrate the user's hard drive in search for sensitive information for example bank account numbers. 4.Describe the relationship of the main stakeholders to the IT system. ---The main stakeholder will be hackers and people who are using e-mail and social networking. The relationships between them are, normally hackers used spam mail to spend virus or hack their computer with Trojan horse, but as the email security develop hackers slowly moved to social network which is Facebook, and other many programs. They know that people are currently using social networking a lot and their privacy is open and they could easily get people's email too. Therefore by using Koobface, they could hack people's computer and information 5. Explain the relationship between the IT system and the social/ethical issue identified in question 3. -- The problem with the security is that the security of the users of their personal and public communications are at risk where spam is concerned. Spam is nowadays being planted in almost every corner of the internet, no matter where, in order to try and trick users into clicking on the harmful links in order to spread malware, such as Trojans.

    This means that once the bill passes, the government will have control, and block any sites that they think people should not see, and this quote is saying that the people will only be able to see what the government approves of, leaving them with no freedom on the internet.

    What are the problems with doing everything on the cloud? may 19 az
  •  
    Doing everything on the cloud is efficient in a way that we can work on from anywhere anytime as long as we have internet connection. However, when we don't have good internet connection, there is nothing we can do since everything we have done is stored on the cloud. . Internet data storing plans might also be an obstacle while operating on the cloud because the costs increase as more data is wanted to be stored on the cloud. Moreover, The cloud is not invincible to attacks so your data is not 100% safe. Having a backup saved on a physical hard drive is a must, cause you can't rely too much in the cloud (look what happen to Amazon and Sony).

When Passwords Aren't Enough: The Need for Strong Online Authentication That is Easy to... - 2 views

    Describe the IT terms. april 28 kuni
  •  
    Authentication- Authentication is the process of determining whether someone or something is, in fact, who or what it is declared to be. In private and public computer networks (including the Internet), authentication is commonly done through the use of logon passwords. Knowledge of the password is assumed to guarantee that the user is authentic. Each user registers initially (or is registered by someone else), using an assigned or self-declared password. Tokens- A Hardware Token is an Authenticator in the form of a physical object, where the user's interaction with a login system proves that the user physically possesses the object. Hardware Tokens authenticate users on the basis that only the Token assigned to the user could have generated the pseudo-random number or code response keyed in by the user. Successful entry of this code implies that the user is in physical possession of the Token. This implies that the user does not allow users to use his Token, and has not lost it. It is use to prove one's identity electronically, and it is small enough to put it in the pocket or attach to keychain. Smart Card-A card with an embedded computer chip on which information can be stored and processed. It is a plastic card about the size of a credit card, with an embedded microchip that can be loaded with data, used for telephone calling, electronic cash payments, and other applications, and then periodically refreshed for additional use. Biometric- Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data. In information technology, biometrics refers to technologies that measure and analyze human body characteristics, such as fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, voice patterns, facial patterns and hand measurements, for authentication purposes.

    Why might you use this? may 19 alec
  •  
    This is a disposable email that only lasts for one hour then erases itself. This could come in handy if you have to give an email address to make a game account you could use it so that you don't get spammed from the game site. Also it would make it impossible to track information sent from that email address to someone because it erases itself after one hour after being activated. You do not have to create your name because the site gives you an example. When I opened the site it told me that my email address was ready for use and was (owbjehey@guerrillamailblock.com) however you could change the name and use that as long as it has not been used before or is in use now.

Bangkok Post : The rise of the digital spies - 1 views

  •  
    1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. Business and employment, Politics and Government 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. Politicians, Large Business owners, Victims 3. Identify one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article Surveillance / Privacy 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. The main IT system in this situation is the use of the evolving hardware that is customized to best fit the various situations that need to infiltrate a certain amount of security. The new spy devices today are integrated into everyday devices such as pens and glasses so that it is hard to track and sensor while going through security checks. 5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). Having the government and users agree to sign contracts which only allow certain amounts of digital spy equipment to be produced, and while shipment, if any equipment was found to be not authorized and legitimate to pay a large amount of fine to prevent further disuse of the equipment. Since most of the devices require some sort of signaling in order to spy, having new security checks based on lens reflection as well as machine signal waves can increase security because it would be easier to sensor such devices.
