iPod News: Apple Applies For Solar Power Patent

Apple has applied for a patent for a technology that places solar power cells under a touch screen, according to Free Patents Online.Such a device could overcome one of the primary obstacles for using solar power on mobile devices - simply finding enough space on the device for large enough cells. This could potentially result in an iPod or iPhone that can be used indefinitely under direct sunlight without needing to be plugged in for a recharge.Several other companies, such as Nokia and Vodafone, have recently expressed increasing interest in "Going Green" using technologies like solar power. In addition to the potential for increased convenience, the use of solar cells in Apple's devices could reduce the company's overall carbon footprint, which would ultimately make it a huge benefit not only to consumers but also to the environment as a whole.-----------------------------------------------------Read our iPod product reviews:http://www.mobiletechreview.com/iPod.htmMore News. more

Targeting is the key to successful e-marketing, says DMC Software Solutions

Effective email-marketing requires successful targeting, and if implemented correctly is worth investing in, says DMC Software Solutions. Doubts over email campaigns have risen in recent years, but with the right tools it can be successful. As the number of companies using email marketing has increased its effectiveness has declined. Swamped by unsolicited messages, irritated by irrelevant content and wary of emails containing viruses the percentage of emails being opened has reduced to an all time low. Furthermore spam filters and fire walls are becoming ever stricter, letting fewer and fewer emails through. In percentage terms email marketing offers only minimal increases over paper based campaigns and with this figure getting ever smaller it is easy to question whether email marketing is worth investing in. more

Marketing: Barbi Hull brings your business photos to life

She has an amazing ability to turn what could be a standard, boring business photo you forget in a blink into an image that lingers in your mind.

3. She's fun. Barbie is smart, spunky, extremely professional, and always wearing a stunning smile!

Here's one of the snaps she took while I was hanging out at Microsoft's Office Live event for women entrepreneurs. More to come!

Open Question: Business question on process how to set a fair price?

Let's say you have a software product. You've spent more money on that product that you can hope to recover in few transactions "Lost cost". Some other company shows an interest in your software product. They are curious about the price they will have to pay. You have no idea what to charge, as this software was not designed for sale.To curtail software to their needs, additional resources (labor) investment must be made. Thoughts: A. You're happy software generates an interest that can be translated into financial gain, you're unsure how interested the other party. B. You'd like to maximized profits, but afraid to lose the customer if the price is too high, and repeated business by others, or even the same customer C. You've spent a lot of money producing the software, and you understand that it was inefficiency responsible for high cost. You do not want to pass inefficiency in the cost of a product - as it would be inaccurate measure of price D. you hope to at least to cover your future variable cost, plus some profits How does the process sound so far? How to determine a fair price? more

Open Question: Biometric Time and Attendance system?

I'm looking for a fuss free biometric time and attendance system. We want to be able to do the following: Register candidates at head office and send their biometric profiles to a remote site. Simple self installation (us), maybe a system that works over the GPRS mobile network. Fuss free software that can determine when a candidate swipes in and out based on business rules set by the site. This software just needs to be able to export in and out swipes for each day (XML not manual csv) so that our front office system can process the swipes and create timesheets. All the solutions I have seen so far rely on hefty software packages that do way more than we need. All I need is the raw data showing events in and events out and the times of those events, my front office system will do everything else. more

Resolved Question: Debit Card authorization for online purchase?

I have recently used my US Bank Visa Check Card to purchase a $300 piece of software. This would be my first purchase with the card, so that might have something to do with my issues. For the past week the $300 purchase had shown up on my account and deducted from my available funds (which were more than enough to make the purchase) and stated as going through the process of "Authorization" which the bank says would take around 3 business days to clear. So I waited, and the vendor where I bought the software continued to say "Processing" as my package's status. Now, when I checked to see how the authorization was going on the bank's website, there is no notification of authorization or anything, and all my funds are back to as if I had never made the purchase. Is this common? Will it go through eventually, or will I need to re-purchase my item? more

Resolved Question: I need software to turn photo into sketch?

I had a company called General Photographic out of Tennessee that took antiques photos of children and they came to my childcare and did several sittings. They have since gone out of business. They did pencil like sketchings of their photographs that were the greatest that I have ever seen. They used some type of software to accomplish this. There were no thick black lines like you see elsewhere. The pictures looked like they were sketched very lightly and the edges kinda faded out. Does anyone have any idea what type of software was used in this process? Thanks! more

Resolved Question: I'm having some computer problems...?

I googled "link scanner" one day on my Hewlett-Packard Compaq 6735s laptop, and since then, the computer: 1. had something called "AV Security Suite" disable my previous anti-virus software [AVSS cannot be found in any files and therefore removed,] 2. has been completely unable to launch *any* application after a couple minutes or so. 2a: Every time an attempt to launch an application is made, it says it can't be done because the file is "infected." 2b: Whenever this happens, it asks me if I want to purchase AV Security Suite. 3: The computer repeatedly informs me of a virus attempting to infiltrate the computer and asks me if I want to block it [and of course, I click "Yes" every time.] 3b: Every time I do this, it automatically directs me to the website to purchase AVSS. 4: Whenever I try to go to any other website, it warns me that going to the site may harm the computer. 5: The computer will occasionally show a message that says 34 spyware infections have been detected and automatically directs me to a porn site. I tried restoring the computer to several previous states [once at a time,] but it said that the process was incomplete because no changes were made to the system. Bull-sh@#! I installed some programs last month. That's a change, right? Apparently not. It marked a system checkpoint early last month. I clicked on it, then clicked next and the computer showed me some message about changes to Drive [F:]. I decided to hold off on that because I wasn't entirely sure about going through with restoring to that point. I have a Windows XP software disk, but I don't think it's the right one because the laptop is equipped w/the Service Pack 3 version of XP, and the afore-mentioned XP software disk is an XP Professional version, which I believe came w/my desktop which I had upgraded to Windows Vista Business. If anyone has any better suggestions, *please* let me know. I do *not* want to have all the time I spent installing the additional programs on that laptop go down the crapper. Thanks.Update: I downloaded Malwarebytes from my desktop, saved it to a flash drive which I then inserted into the laptop, and it got rid of AVSS. Oh crap-- new problem. I can't surf the web, but it's for a different reason this time: my proxy settings are being refused. None of the Internet programs I have are working on me. Firefox won't work, Internet Explorer won't work, Google Chrome won't work, and Safari won't work either. I have no idea how to change the proxy settings, but if anyone does, please tell me. Thanks.Never mind. I got the proxy settings issue under control. more

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT Our global network and efficiency makes us distinct. The collective expertise, talent, and experience of its members help us quickly deliver the necessary information to our clients, provide our people with a wide array of choices. For the purpose of withstanding severe competition we have developed a unique strategy that allows us to make our service to be efficient and faster than rival firms’ one. To ensure fast transfer process, we often turn to fast money transfer systems. In case of urgency the payment is completed in minutes. Our consultants and employees —over 7,000 strong—are exceptionally talented and come from a wide variety of backgrounds. CANDIDATE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS * not less than 18 years old * internet access to reply emails promptly * availability by phone (1-2 hours a day) * a bank account to process payments * good credit history with your bank (new bank account is an option) * no criminal offense or convictions * experience in the field of finance is preferred * knowledge of Windows '98/XP, MS Office, Network software * ability to work independently * ability to plan and organize activities efficiently * strong responsibility * multitasking skills DUTIES We are searching for people to process payments coming from our clients. Our company will provide an agent with detailed instructions according to the payment processing operations including sender full name and amount total for each separate order. As soon as funds enter employee's bank account Branch Manager's duty is to withdraw cash and transfer funds via International Wire Transfer or Western Union/Money Gram money transfer systems. The main advantage of our services is the shortest possible time within which the seller can receive money for the services sold. If this operation is delayed, our clients are entitled to cancel their contract with us and we suffer a financial loss. Therefore, successful applicant must be very responsible and careful. TRIAL PERIOD POLICY Successful applicants are offered a position on a trial period basis (1 month). This is a period when a new employee will be trained and receive online support while working and being paid. A personal supervisor can recommend termination during/after the trial period depending on agent's activity. New employee must be responsible and strictly follow supervisor's recommendations to pass the probationary period successfully and be employed by our company on a regular basis. SALARY During the probationary period we offer $2,300 monthly payment plus 8 per cent commission for each payment processing operation. Base salary ($2,300) will be transferred at the end of each month to employee's bank account. Commission (8 per cent) is to be deducted from the processed money during the month. HOWEVER, our company undertakes to reimburse part of expenses which are incurred in connection with money transfer (WIRE or by Western Union/Money gram system) should money transfer charges exceed 3 per cent. For example, an average $5,000 payment will entail $400 commission for your work (but WU/MG fee is paid from this money amount). Furthermore, we offer $50.00 bonus for each transaction completed by 11 AM (local time), and it will be added to the monthly salary. With the current number of clients (two-six orders a week) your overall income will vary from $4,000 per month up to $10,000. A successful agent can open new accounts and ask for additional tasks and earn more.

Voting Question: Please determine the writer's level.?

Please determine the writer's level? 1) Please determine the writer's age 2) How much will you grade the essay out of 100% ? 3) Do you think it's professional essay or basic ? In an ideal world, it would be necessary for an average person to learn about economy or at least its basics; this will give people a brief background about how companies work and develop. Companies are everywhere and they are full of work and action to develop productivity through merger, acquisition and joint venture. Therefore, in this research assignment I will define each of merger, acquisition and joint vent, give examples for each and finally distinguish advantages and disadvantages. Before going into any further details it’s necessary to distinguish between merger and acquisition, when two companies mostly of the same size agree to go merge as a single company rather than working separately is known as merger. Whereas acquisition when a company takes over another company and distinguish itself as one company. The main purpose of merger is to create a firm of successful combination to sum the values through synergy, a good illustration of this Daimler-Benz AG, markets of Mercedes Bens. Daimler AG was formed in (2007) which is very recent; this company had a huge success because of the successful merger. The good side of merging a company is employees are able to share and gain more knowledge through the right cooperation with successful process that is requires a strong vision and a critical strategy plane, this will help employees to modify themselves if there are any culture conflicts and share the business in the same field of work. Moreover, merger will increase the capital funds and assets for better structures and buildings. Yet, there are always advantages and disadvantages of any kind of merger. The bad side of merging is that sometimes it causes unbalance in stock price, confusion between employees, conflict in business, fear of failure, anger and uncertainty between employees, thus making it possible to cause distraction between employees and job losses. Moreover, the worst part is that merged companies will never be quite as good as separated ones. Thus, it’s necessary to be aware of merging risks. Before explaining acquisition it’s important to explain a bit more merger. When two companies join together to increase the share price and defined as anticompetitive this is known as monopoly. For instant, when Zain company in Kuwait holds 30% of the market share and Wataniya company Holds 30% of the market share, their combined share holed will increase to 60% and this is very bad merge because it influences the consumer. Therefore, the government has to block them, even though merger causes a huge success between two companies a balance between the produce and consumer in needed. There are many companies that have been taken over other companies and that is a corporative action in which a company buy most of its values, a good illustration of this Google and Yahoo. Both of them are computer software and world leading in computer search engine, they have taken over many search engines and other services such as video, wave and mail between (2003 – 2009) .However, acquisition is very beneficial for companies who are facing challenges and dropping down rapidly, because it will help them grow up instead of losing every value of the company; it’s also beneficial to gain brand recognition to be known by most people and reduces competition if a rival is taken over. Moreover, acquisition helps employees to integrate and communicating effectively with everyone who will be affected by changes through helping employees to cope with transactions. On other hand, companies mostly will not share the values instead of that; values will be beneficial in one way only. Therefore, it’s hard to share values, this could conflict damages between the two companies through miss understanding in the field of business and spread risks if there is no enough elaboration for the failure. Acquisition can be beneficial and unbeneficial depending on the type of business. It’s not necessary for any company to merge or acquire another company to produce a unique product of its kind, companies can join together to produce one or two products, this is known as joint venture, a good illustration of this Gphone known as “Android”, it’s amazing combination of both hardware and software between two companies which are Google and HTC, it was invented in (2010) which is very recent and in development progress, joint ventures beneficial in many cases such as accessing to greater resources and new markets for better productivity. Moreover, joint venture helps employees to gain new capacity of experience and share risks with a venture partner, this will reduce the chance of failure; it’s true that money will be split into two sides. However, the potential for a larger profit is much greater with a joint venture. On the other hand, it more

<A ten-year review of the vision for transforming the defense acquisition system.(TUTORIAL) Defense A R Journal| January 01, 2004 | Rogers, Edward W.; Birmingham, Robert P. | COPYRIGHT 2007 Defense Acquisition University Press. "With this report, then, we begin a decade-long process of reinvention." "We hope it will transform the hatis, culture, and performance of all federal organizations." (Former Vice President Al Gore, 1993) This paper traces the vision for reform of the Department of Defense Acquisition System from 1993 through 2003. Using a qualitative document review process, a conceptual picture of overarching themes is presented. The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of the change roadmap to assist building empirical research models of the effectiveness of the various initiatives, programs restructurings, and policy mandates that have all contributed to the current climate for change within the DoD and the acquisition community. ********** The year 2003 marks the end of a decade of concerted effort at transforming the way the government does business. A major focus of that effort has been the transformation of the way the Department of Defense (DoD) acquires new equipment through the Defense Acquisition System. In fact, the beginnings of this journal were steeped in acquisition reform. The topic has been an on-going subject with six or more articles per year dealing with acquisition reform efforts. The inaugural issue in 1994 opened with a piece by then Deputy Under Secretary for Defense (DUSD) Colleen Preston outlining the new initiatives for acquisition reform (Preston, 1994). The pages of the Acquisition Review Quarterly have proven to be a forum for a fertile debate on the merits, means, and misgivings of acquisition reform. This article looks back over the last ten years and traces the path of the vision for that change. In 1993, the National Performance Review (NPR), released under then Vice President Gore, laid out a vision for change that many have considered the landmark for a new decade of effort to change the way the government does business. This paper attempts to take a conceptual view of what evolved from that NPR mandate into the particular vision for changing the Defense Acquisition System within the DoD (Gore, 1993). What makes this a good time for reflection is the fact that near the end of 2002, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz issued a memorandum canceling the DoD 5000 series of acquisition policy documents (Wolfowitz, 2002). Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz judged the latest documents to be "not conducive to an acquisition environment that fosters flexibility, efficiency, creativity, and innovation." This raises the question of what exactly happened to the vision for acquisition reform during the past decade. To answer this question the authors of this paper decided to bring together their respective academic knowledge of organizational change and the practical experience of program management to examine a decade of reform effort. METHODOLOGY We conducted a broad review of literature on reform of the DoD to identify key documents that could be considered landmarks or mandates for the acquisition transformation process. We searched government documents available on-line as well as those suggested by talking with people working in the acquisition corps. We also reviewed published articles in the Acquisition Review Quarterly since its inaugural issue in 1994. From a total of several hundred documents collected and examined, we selected seven as dealing broadly with a vision for changing the acquisition system. In addition to the document search, interviews were conducted with a number of individuals in the Pentagon, the acquisition community, program managers, and industry leaders. The purpose of these interviews was not to collect a sample of data but to clarify the understanding of the documents and the intent of the some of the terms, titles, and statements to avoid misinterpreting the written records. We also used the interviews to confirm that we had selected what people involved in defense acquisition generally consider the landmark documents that have set the direction of change during the decade. Since the overall purpose of the report was very broad we agreed to a complete non-attribution arrangement with all the people interviewed. We distilled the contents of the seven documents into tables highlighting their key elements for ease of comparison. From the summarized tables and interviews, we traced the evolution of the different aspects of the overall vision for change including the drivers (perceived problems), and the description of the desired end state. From our analysis of key milestone documents we developed a conceptual picture of how the transformation vision has evolved over the decade. Finally, we propose several observations that should be addressed with empiri...cal methods to help answer important policy questions regarding acquisition reform. We hope this review effort will help spawn research and debate for charting the way towards a new and better acquisition system for the DoD. THE NATIONAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW--1993 The decade beginning in 1993 certainly was not isolated from the previous decades and prior attempts at reforming the DoD. David Packard had a large influence on the reform movement starting with the Packard Initiatives in 1969 through the Packard Commission and its report, "The Quest for Excellence" delivered in 1986. This era closed with Secretary of Defense, Dick Cheney's "Defense Management: A Report to the President" in 1989. These efforts attempted to deal with ballooning costs, duplicative programs across services, and the authority lines for determining acquisition priorities, budgets, and program evaluations but often also added layers of reporting and bureaucracy. This led Thomas McNaugher to lamentat the end of the 1980s that the defense acquisition system may actually be worse for the reform efforts of that decade (McNaugher, 1990). Without ignoring the impact of prior efforts, we limit this review to the decade that began on September 7, 1993 when Vice President Al Gore released his landmark report: "Creating a Government that Works Better and Costs Less: The Gore Report on Reinventing Government" as part of the NPR. While the Gore Report primarily focused on government waste and inefficiency, elements of the report impacted efforts at transforming the way the government conducts the business of defending the country as well. While the Gore report only mentioned three things directly related to acquisition reform, the fact that the Office of the Vice President was behind the concepts carried considerable weight. As related to defense, the Gore Report called for a need to 1) simplify procurement, 2) eliminate regulatory burden and 3) rely more on the commercial marketplace.These goals spoke of a need to change the culture of how the government conducts the business of defense. The key theme of the NPR was that government was broken and the system needed to be overhauled from the top to the bottom to regain effectiveness. After the release of the NPR, many people in the government bureaucracy faced uncertainty about just how the government would function in the future. Such a broad change mandate coming from such a high level created a sense of imminent change. In response, many departments began to develop change programs including the DoD and its new Secretary, William Perry. The release of the NPR was quickly followed by a document outlining how and why change was needed within the DoD. A MANDATE FOR CHANGE: THE PERRY MEMO--1994 On February 9, 1994, six days after being confirmed as Secretary of Defense William Perry released a memo titled, "A Mandate for Change" calling for a complete cultural change in how the DoD operates. Budgetary andefficiency issues remained important guiding principles drawing from the NPR, but the focus shifted from processes to outcomes (capability in the field). The main directives of the Perry Memo were based upon themes in the NPR. First, he called for a cultural change pointing out that the systems themselves were dysfunctional. Second, the outcomes were not effective (primarily too slow). Third, the obstacles to change were mostly internal (bureaucratic inertia). Secretary Perry clarified the essence of the need for change in his memo and created the sense of urgency that required immediate action. It also became clear that the DoD was not exempt from the NPR mandated transformation effort in the Federal Government. If the NPR showed what was wrong with government, then the Perry Memo demonstrated what was wrong with the DoD and why it had to be changed now. With many examples (following the NPR format), Secretary Perry carefully built an argument to show the failure of existingsystems to deliver effective solutions to the warfighters. In particular he noted the threat of a reduced defense industrial capability in the post-Cold War era. In response to the challenge laid out by Secretary Perry, an office was created to specifically deal with transformation issues and to ensure that change was made in an effective way. ACQUISITION REFORM UNDER THE DUSD (AR) COLLEEN PRESTON--1995-97 After the Perry Mandate in 1994, a special office of Deputy Under Secretary for Defense (Acquisition Reform) (DUSD[AR]) was established with Colleen Preston the first office holder. Her vision for change was based heavily upon events at the time including the recent passage of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1993 (FASA). The formation of the AR office was a strong signal to the acquisition community that change was coming as a result of the Perry Memo. Colleen Preston became a spokesperson writing articles in the Acquisition Review Quarterly (Preston, 1994),testifying before Congress (Preston, 1995a), and appearing in other DoD publications (Preston, 1995b). Her mandate was to find ways to address the declining industrial capability while improving system responsiveness and reducing costs again echoing the main drivers of the Perry transformation vision. It thus was a mandate for both increased efficiency and effectiveness while restructuring the industry-government relationship base. This was obviously a daunting task especially given the size and inertia of the defense industry and the acquisition community in general. DUSD(AR) Preston set out to build a specific change vision around the elements of the Perry Memo by importing best practices from the business world. Three specific initiatives probably best characterize her efforts: the implementation of Process Action Teams (PAT), the adoption of Integrated Product Teams (IPT), and efforts made to capture lessons learned within the DoD and the acquisition change process itself.All three of these have endured within the broader acquisition community as acceptable methods of operation throughout the decade. A major focus was directed toward rewriting the DoD Directive 5000.1 and the DoD Instruction 5000.2 documents. At the same time, a project was started for creating …> > more

Resolved Question: Can anybody give me a advise regarding a career in consulting?

Hi, I graduated with a degree in IT engineering from an engineering college affiliated to University Of Pune, India in 2009. While still in college I did not have any job offer from any IT companies visiting our campus, all due to low grades and poor academic performance. I managed to get a job off campus where I was hired as an Trainee Software Developer in a start-up IT company. I started working there but my job was more of QA where I would test the mobile games that are being developed and port them from J2ME to Android to some extent. After studying 4 years of engineering, I realized that I am not interested working much into technology as working on the business side. So i made up mind and resigned from the job after 5 months.As I was more keen on getting broader business experience before pursuing a full time career in any industry & becoming an expert in that field, so I started doing research about Strategy Consulting and dreaming working in MCKinsey/BCG/ Bain. I applied for above three and a few other but all in vain as I never got through, as I realized it is highly impossible to get into these companies with such low grades and no work experience. Also these companies mostly hire IIT graduates. My academic performance is very average with very little extra curricular. 10th- 66.8% 12th- 55% Graduation (B.Tech) (average of 4 years)- 52.4%, I flunked once in graduation. During that 1 year gap in engineering I worked for 7 months as an IT Support Engineer in the IT department of an construction company where my work was to troubleshoot hardware/software/LAN/WAN problem, installing & updating software packages/LAN/WAN, and conducting a review of the configuration of computers in the organization. After 6 months of gap since resignation from the first job after graduation I managed to get a job of an Analyst from one of the Big 4 for their Risk Advisory services. Here my work revolves around AUTOMOBILE/MANUFACTURING companies, where I help my team members in creating Standard Operating Procedures, Internal Audit, conducting business process reviews and formatting word documents & PPT, creating minutes of meetings in Microsoft office 2007. As I have very less interest in programming and my programming skills are also average, I took up this job which pays me over Rs.15,000/- a month. Its been more than 1 month since I took up this job. Most of the people in my team (15) are Chartered Accountants except for my manager who is an MBA graduate and is a Mechanical Engineering degree undergraduate. Also I came to that people working at this designation as me (Analyst) are mostly 99.99% commerce graduates, just out of their colleges . My future plan is to pursue an MBA from an international B-school, 2-3 years from now. I am not expecting to get an admit in to Harvard or London Business school but I am aiming for an globally recognized institute. I took up this job because I thought the name of Big 4 on my resume would fill up the gaps due to poor academic performance during engineering. I am planning to work here for 2 years (1 at least) & I am thinking of trying again for Business Analyst position at McKinsey after 1 year. But this feeling of me being an IT engineer working with commerce undergraduates and doing Internal Audit is not letting me focus on my daily work hence my productivity is getting hampered. I am really CONFUSED whether or not I have taken a right decision. I am wondering what impact this decision will have when I would be applying to top 20 b-schools in UK/US/France ?? Also does working in this area as an Analyst helps you getting a job in strategy consulting firms like McKinsey & Co, BCG etc ?? Is Internal Audit/ Standard Operating Procedures/Business Process Review meant only for Chartered Accountants ?? Can anyone please give me a detail explanation for my above queries, I am worried and feeling insecure at this point of time. Thanks in advance. more

Resolved Question: Becoming a CMA in British Columbia?

Hi All, Background info: I have a degree in computer science, and also have 5 years of development experience as a software engineer. I am looking to break into the business/financial sector as an analyst of some sort. Is pursuing a CMA designation going to be worthwhile for me? I am already qualified for some business analyst jobs which require a higher level of technical aptitude, however I am under the impression that a CMA or other accounting designation would give preference to those candidates. As a degree holder, I understand that I would have to complete the CMA accelerated program. I am confused however about the process in gaining this designation. Could somebody please clarify the process and how long it would take to gain a CMA? I understand I would have to perform the following tasks: 1. Complete the accelerated program or a bridging diploma program 2. Write the national exam 3. 2-year CMA strategic leadership program. What is involved in step 3? Am I able to work fulltime in position of my choice while doing the 2 years of the program? Is gaining a CMA even going to be worthwhile to attain my preferred career path? Thanks all! more

2.Club IT, Part Two Over the last few months of your internship at Club IT, you have learned much about the nightclub business and have discovered opportunities for Club IT to improve its information technology capabilities. Ruben and Lisa have asked you to meet with them next week to provide an assessment of their current information systems and a recommendation for upgrading and improving their information management capabilities. You have some definite ideas on how IT could be improved at Club IT, and you also realize it takes thorough analysis and planning to be successful. You have interviewed Ruben and the rest of the staff at Club IT and have compiled the following notes: •Club IT’s customers are mostly net generation and millennials. They regularly use mobile technologies such as Blackberrys, PDAs, camera phones, and other wireless communication devices. Online shopping is a regular part of their lives. •Few nightclubs have taken advantage of various e-commerce activities, and Ruben sees this as an opportunity to gain a competitive advantage in dealing with suppliers and guests. Ruben asks you to identify some new e-commerce technologies and applications to help build Club IT’s clientele and community, and to make their business processes more efficient. •Currently, Club IT sells advance tickets to its special Friday and Saturday night concerts by phone or in person. Ruben wants to set up a Web site to sell tickets, so guests may have unlimited self-service access. •Opportunities exist for streamlining the ordering process through B2B ecommerce. Sysco, for example, is a major restaurant supplier in North America, which has an extensive Web site (http://www.sysco.com/customer/order_entry.asp) with many online products and services for small and large food and beverage operations. Using the information you have gathered from your review of the Club IT Web site and interviews with Ruben and the staff, evaluate the IT status of the business. •Prepare a 700- to 1050-word essay identifying three business problems that you see at Club IT. oEvaluate Club IT’s resources, customers, and supply chain. oDefine three IT solutions to resolve the three problems. oIncorporate enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), and supply chain management (SCM) software into your solutions. oDiscuss how the various departments within Club IT may use your solutions. •Include an introduction and a conclusion, clearly identify three business problems, and provide detailed solutions for the three problems. more

Resolved Question: what programming language helps create a secure business website?

hello! I'd like to start a website that's similar to ebay but without the payment processing features. it's for local use, for a certain industry. Though it's small scale, it's completely accessible by the public so I'm worried about security-- esp about someone vandalizing it for kicks and "steal" user information (!!). I've checked out outsourcing the software/program, but I guess i'd rather have the programmer physically accessible to me as we work on this, so I'd like to hire a developer. My question is: 1. what language should be used? most have suggest php and mysql... but i've been reading up on https-- I'm not so technically inclined, but I assume this is different? 2. is there a service that, once the website is up, can check it out for security vulnerabilities? Any other insight would be most welcome! TIA!Btw, are these vulnerabilities more on the server side (passwords especially) rather than what language the website was created on?One feature would be that they can upload images and access/change their account content. Is it possible for them to use this to inject something malicious, like upload a virus? more

I googled the problem, and the solutions I found suggested uninstalling and re-installing the product. I did that.... but now when I go through the installation process it's telling me it "can't find a version of Microsoft Office on my computer" and when I try and skip over the step it says "the path you've chosed doesn't point at a qualifying upgradeable product".

If this invoice has been paid for and you have received your item(s), we apologize. Please contact us so we can update your account. As an Ebay Shopper, you may have a misunderstanding of the manner in which winning auctions that have become seriously past due are handled. We are a High Ranking Ebay Power Seller and list 100's of auctions a day. Non Paying Bidders are a serious problem for us and cost us a tremendous amount of money in lost revenue and ebay fee's. Because of this, we handle Non Paying Bidders in a different way than other smaller sellers. We have contracted the services of RELIABID and the Collection Agency of HUNTER-WARFIELD to try and recoup these losses. These are real companies and you can verify them at their websites. http://www.reliabid.com/public/collection_process.html https://collectnow.hunterwarfield.com/public/ I am not going to attempt to think of some clever phrase to get your attention. Neither do I wish to embarrass, intimidate or do any of the nasty things that are often done to encourage payment. I am merely informing you that your account has reached a point where it must be turned over for Aggressive Collection. You can read for yourself on the Reliabid.com website the process of collections and I will summarize it for you. Once it is turned over to the collection agency of Hunter-Warfield you will be treated as a Non Paying Customer of our business as if you walked into our store, purchased that item on credit and didn't pay your outstanding bill. Your acquired information from Ebay will be placed in a National Skip Trace Database were more personal information will be obtained. At that point Hunter-Warfiled can and will place this non payment of your delinquent account on your Personal Credit Report. This may effect your credit score and may cause your interest rates to rise on your credit cards and loans and may even prevent you from getting new ones. Hunter-Warfield will give you an option to avoid this drastic and final step by making a full payment or a final payment of 20% of the winning bid + $10.00. We do not want to see this happen. We are offering you a way to avoid all this mess and make a flat rate payment of $19.99 to cover our losses and close your delinquent account before it goes to collections. We want to make this as easy as possible. How to Submit Payment: Please go to paypal.com . Log into your paypal account. Click the Send Money Option and send $19.99 to restockingfee@ebaybuynow.com Please copy and past your auction information from the top of this email into the Note Section of the paypal payment so we have your correct account information. Your name will be removed from the collections list and your account will be closed. If you do not understand how to send a payment and have a paypal account, please reply to this email asking us to send you a paypal request and the email address to send it to. If you do not have a paypal account or have problems making payment, please reply to this email and request another form of payment. If we do not receive a reply to this email we can only assume that you are not willing to settle your account and we will have no other choice but to turn it over to collections. Once again, if this invoice has been paid for and you have received your item(s), we apologize. Please contact us so we can update your account. Sincerely, Billing Dept. eBay-vividcam 43301 Osgood Road Fremont, CA 94539 FINAL NOTICE. 5 DAY NOTIFICATION OF PAYMENT REQUIRED. THIS IS NOT A SPOOF EMAIL.

Resolved Question: Does this remind you of any software projects?

<A FORMER officer of the failed funds management firm MFS says it had so many companies he was unsure exactly which of them were the 26 he was a director of, and that when he tried to raise concerns about the business he was suspended. On the first day of a liquidator's examination into MFS, later known as Octaviar, which collapsed in 2008 owing more than $2 billion, David John Kennedy described uncontrolled spending by MFS executives, ''Mickey Mouse'' approval processes and a hostile culture in which the company's chairman, Andrew Peacock, screamed at staff. Mr Kennedy told the NSW Supreme Court he started working for MFS in May 2007 as chief operating officer - a role no one ever lasted long in at MFS. On February 25, 2008, he said he tried to raise his concerns about the company. ''I sent an email to the then chief executive, Craig White, about some concerns I had about the way some of the directors were doing their job, doing their duties,'' Mr Kennedy said. ''I was considering whether I should be bringing any action against them.'' The next morning, ''Craig called me and told me that I should go home'', he said. Several weeks later he left the job. Mr Kennedy said before he was suspended he had approved an internal investigation into a transaction worth $130 million that another colleague had raised doubts about. That colleague also left before the audit was completed. Intercompany loans are suspected to total about $1 billion. Mr Kennedy said many of the dozens of companies under MFS were essentially dormant. ''They used to have a range of investment companies set up, waiting to do something,'' he said. Asked if he was a director of MFS Castle, or MFS Investments, he said: ''I have no idea. I think I was a director of 26 companies in the group.'' MFS companies invested in everything from affordable housing to aquariums and tree-top walks. Mr Kennedy was employed by MFS Administration, as most staff were. MFS Administration would act as a treasury, making payments on behalf of other wholly owned subsidiaries, and Mr Kennedy said he expected the loans were credited to other companies in the group. He said he was not involved in approving loans to other group companies, and he acted only on instructions. He said real decisions were made at board level, and that Michael King was ''the decision-maker''. An internal investment approval committee could reject a proposal, only to have Mr King override the decision and approve it anyway, he said. In some cases, a proposal was a done deal when the committee was asked to consider it for the first time, Mr Kennedy said. At one stage, concerned about conflicts of interest, Mr Kennedy said he tried to encourage Mr White to resign from a committee. The committee was overseeing the funds for deals that were proposed by Mr White and one of his staff members, who was also on the committee. Mr Kennedy said he suggested putting the company's risk and compliance officer on the committee in Mr White's place. ''Craig said he didn't want that, that would be too much red tape and make it to difficult for things to go through,'' Mr Kennedy said. Mr White decided to remain on the committee. ''At that point, risk and compliance was removed from one of my areas of responsibility,'' Mr Kennedy said. Mr Kennedy said many people at MFS found the chairman, the former Liberal leader Andrew Peacock, difficult to deal with, though he personally liked him. ''He has a relatively large ego and my experience with him was … he liked to instil fear into people at times. I had to talk to him once about yelling and screaming at our IT people.'' Mr Kennedy said the company secretary, Kim Kercher, also incurred Mr Peacock's wrath, not for the substantive contents of board minutes, but for spelling mistakes. Similarly, Mr Kennedy said Mr King was dominating and intimidating. Mr Kennedy said he queried the ''silly'' amount executive Luke Gannon was spending on marble and other fittings for the company's Melbourne office. ''I thought he spent a ridiculous amount of money,'' Mr Kennedy said. Mr Gannon would simply hang up on him, he said. Liquidators from Bentleys have so far recovered about $134 million in cash. Examinations continue today before the senior deputy registrar, Andrew Musgrave.> more

Resolved Question: K-Lite Codec pack - how do I ensure I get a trouble free install?

I have an elderly, ex networked, office ASUS computer (a discard) used in a sales admin dept - audio was disabled and the codecs I had to download from ASUS to get audio CDs to play. It does not play video media even though WMP is installed. Couldn't fathom the ASUS website at all as far as the Video codecs were concerned: and they failed to respond to request for advice. I was recommended to install the K-Lite Pack as this will cover practically all requirements and should reactivate WMP as well. Several codecs are listed under audio and video already (including the audio codecs I got from ASUS, but I recognise none of the others. Forums are vague about the actual process of installing a pack with respect to what steps to take when there are codecs already in place albeit not, necessarily all the ones you need. They can be installed selectively but then you have to know (up front) what codecs you MUST have and then, where to get them and then, the tiresome job of installing them individually. I am looking for that 'one shot cures all' solution and the K-Lite Pack looks the business. I did try downloading it on my main (HP) computer, but it only corrupted some of the software already in place. Happily a restore rectified this (I hope) so what indeed is the safest procedure........anybody? Thank you Nearlyman more

Voting Question: Can XML schemas be considered Intellectual Property?

We have a software system that we use to send service orders to our suppliers. The software company entered into an agreement with a value added network (VAN), whereby the VAN acts as the network used to communicate our orders to our suppliers, if we want to send the orders electronically. Otherwise we can print the orders and pack them with the goods to be repaired, and / or send facsimiles of the printed orders. The VAN designed the XML schemas used to mark up the service orders so that they can be sent as EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) documents. The VAN is claiming that the schemas were licensed to the software provider for exclusive use via their portal, and that the business process of exchanging service orders and downstream documents (receipt notices, repair findings, return notices, invoices, etc.) via these schemas are their intellectual property. They only claim IP for the latter in relation to the EDI documents. The actual processes are in fact standard industry practices. They don’t claim any IP rights if we exchange printed documents with our repair providers. In summary, they maintain that we will have infringed on their IP if we bypass their portal to send a service order to a repair provider using the schemas they have developed for software we are licensed to use. Does this web portal have a legitimate claim to Intellectual Property regarding these schemas? more

Resolved Question: Best accounting software for my bookkeeping business?

I'm in the process of starting a bookkeeping business scheduled to open on July 1st of this year. I will be doing bookkeeping for small businesses and preparing income tax returns for individuals. My heart is pretty set on using Quickbooks for the bookkeeping portion (the majority of my business) but there are so many versions of Quickbooks, I haven't been able to decide on a particular one. The "Accountant 2010" version doesn't seem to be right because I don't plan to only have clients that already have Quickbooks. In researching the area, I think I'll be doing a lot of converting manual books into computerized versions. I only need to have 5 or less users capable of being on the system at the same time and the number of clients I'll have will hopefully be around 20. Any software suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Taylor more

Voting Question: Need some advice on my Software Developement Start-up.?

So I'm a Junior in college and I'm in the process of starting a partnership with a friend of mine for a software developement company. We've both got the majority of it down but one thing we're unsure about is fair payment. For the first few projects we're telling our programmers that we're all doing it for the sake of having something professional grade out on the market so that we have something under our belts when we go out into the job market. However if things go well we intend to keep the business going. We're thinking about doing a commission based pay at first. Paying each individual (programmers first since it's just them and us two) a percentage of the money made off of each unit sold. Then once we see a stream of steady revenue we intend on switching over to actual pay. Perhaps doing a bit of contracting somewhere in between to make sure that they get paid a little bit more. So I'm wondering what percentages are fair for each programmer at first? And since my friend and myself are running everything else, are there any models for what our own compensation should be? We're both aware that this is a start-up and that reinvestment in the company will certainly happen. Pay for us is certainly less important than reinvesting and paying the people that work under us, but we want to make sure we get the numbers right first before we have our employee's sign any kind of contract. more
