...“In June 1994, Intel engineers discovered a flaw in the floating-point math subsection of the Pentium microprocessor. Under certain data dependent conditions, low order bits of the result of floating-point division operations would be incorrect, an error that can quickly compound in floating-point operations to much larger errors in subsequent calculations. Intel corrected the error in a future chip revision, but nonetheless declined to disclose it. In October 1994, Dr. Thomas Nicely, Professor of Mathematics at Lynchburg College independently discovered the bug, and upon receiving no response from his inquiry to Intel, on October 30 posted a message on the InternetWord of the bug spread quickly on the Internet and then to the industry press. Because the bug was easy to replicate by an average user (there was a sequence of numbers one could enter into the OS calculator to show the error), Intel's statements that it was minor and "not even an erratum" were not accepted by many computer users. During Thanksgiving 1994, The New York Times ran a piece by journalist John Markoff spotlighting the error. Intel changed its position and offered to replace every chip, quickly putting in place a large end-user support organization. This resulted in a $500 million charge against Intel's 1994 revenue. Ironically, the "Pentium flaw" incident, Intel's response to it, and the surrounding media coverage propelled Intel from being a technology supplier generally unknown to most computer users...

...Davis v. The Board of County Commissioners of Dona Ana County What was the legal issue in this case? The legal issue in this case was deciding whether an employer owes prospective employers and foreseeable third persons a duty of reasonable care not to misrepresent material facts in the course of making an employment recommendation about a present or former employee, when a substantial risk of physical harm to third persons by the employee is foreseeable (Walsh, 2010). The defendant in this case is Joseph "Tinie" Herrera and the plaintiff is Mariah C. Davis. Joseph former supervisors Frank Steele (Director) and Al Mochen (Captain and Assistant Director), both gave positive endorsements about him to the Mesilla Valley Hospital (MVH). They hired Herrera based on the favorable recommendations, which was the heart of the Plaintiff's suit against the County. Mariah C. Davis sued the County of Dona Ana (the County) for injuries suffered during a patient stay at Mesilla Valley Hospital (MVH)." Davis alleged that hospital employee Joe Herrera sexually assaulted her. The Plaintiff alleged that MVH’s decision to hire Herrera was based on misinformation provided by Steele and Mochen. Why does the court conclude that Doña Ana County could be held liable for negligent referral (misrepresentation)? According to Mann (2000), “The Court of Appeals held that when the county law enforcement officers (Steele and Mochen) undertook to provide an employment...

...The CFO, John Bierbaum, is thinking about the future, because the price of the core raw materials increased in the first half year of 1994. The increase was 30% and this is likely to have high consequences for the company. The question in this case is how to allocate the finance and business risks. If there has to be a distribution of risks, how the CFO should hedge these risks? At first we examine the business and the finance risk of Delta calculating the below ratios. Business risk Based on exhibit 8, which shows the industry growth rates, we can observe that the industry growth rate has declined in the end of the 80’s and since then it is around 3%. Based on this information we conclude that Delta cannot expect a high growth rate in the next few years. ROA=net income/total assets ROA(1993)=-3.7% ROA(1992)=-6.6% We cannot compare the ROA of Delta with the ROA of other companies in the industry but we can compare it to the previous years. Although ROA is negative in 1993 there has been an improvement since 1992. The negative ROA in 1993 shows that the company is still not profitable relative to its total assets. Finance risk Short term Current ratio=current assets/current liabilities which refers to the short term solvency of the company. Current ratio=2.76 This ratio shows that the company can finance it debt on the short term. Long term The Debt Ratio measures the percent of total funds provided by creditors. Debt includes both current liabilities...

...Japanese automakers lost steam in 1990s due to a stronger Yen and weak domestic demand. The Japanese currency, which traded in ¥140–¥160/$ range in 1990, quickly appreciated to around ¥100/$ by 1994, greatly increasing the relative competitiveness of the U.S. manufacturers. Meanwhile, some observers argued that U.S. manufacturers had narrowed the quality gap and had become very competitive.36 Japanese domestic sales (excluding mini vehicles) peaked at 6.0 million units in 1990 and dropped about 18% to 4.9 million units by 1993. Toyota’s domestic sales declined faster than the overall Japanese market; its share dropped from the peak of 42.7% in 1988 to below 40%, and its share for the month of December 1994 was 36.5% (excluding mini). Net profits shrank from ¥441 billion in 1990 to ¥126 billion in 1994, while revenue declined 17% (see Exhibit 5). Toyota withstood the adverse environment by cutting costs and these cost reduction efforts went beyond the factory floor. In September 1992, Toyota reorganized its 12,000 engineer R&D division to create four centers and consolidate administrative functions. This reorganization reduced coordination time, thereby reducing product development time. During this time, Toyota was criticized for its proliferation of look-alike cars. Its clientele tended to be older, and its products were less appealing to the younger generation. Toyota’s products were perceived to be following rather than setting the trend. Corolla was Japan’s...

...Pentium Flaw The nature of the Pentium flaw was a “bug” that the processor could return incorrect decimal results which made this hard to calculate and get the correct answer. This affected the fields in mathematics and science where they have to deal with a lot of math. The flaw was discovered first by Intel but they did not act on the problem, but a professor from Lynchburg College, Virginia called Dr. Thomas R. Nicely discovered the problem around June 1994 he was the one that noticed it in two sets of numbers and did some tests on 486 and Pentium-based computers, Dr. Nicely was certain that the error is caused by the Pentium Processor. Dr. Nicely then contacts Intel Technical Support on October 24, 1994 Intel technical support then duplicates the problem and confirms it, but it was not reported before. Later the Intel person he had contacted admitted that Intel had been aware of the problem since May 1994, when the flaw was discovered by Tom Kraljevic. When Intel first knew about the problem they decided not to tell anyone, thinking that the flaw would hardly affect anyone and that it was just a commonplace for a complex microprocessor to have a few bugs. Then, when it was forced to acknowledge the problem, Intel pushed it away again and dismissed the chances of it causing problems for the average user. In my opinion, Intel was acting very unprofessional when they knew about the problems and did nothing to fix the problem. I think that Intel was just trying to save money...

...Regardless of point-of-view, the events surrounding Disney’s America theme-park provide compelling lessons to policy makers, business interests and citizen activist groups. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Disney’s America controversy through the lens of public policy process. I first analyze the core issues of the case. Second, I identify predominant actors and stakeholders. Third, I point out policy instruments and processes germane to the case. Finally, I discuss the outcome and lessons to be gleaned from the case. Issues Haymarket, a community with a population of 375, is located approximately 30 miles southwest of Washington D.C., in Prince William County, Virginia. It is situated in an area characterized by farmland in view of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west. Nearby is a Civil War battlefield site, now a National Battlefield Park administered by the National Park Service, where 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers died during two battles fought at Bull Run: the first land battle of the Civil War in 1861, and in 1862, when Robert E. Lee defeated Union forces as he led the Confederate toward the Potomac River. In the early 1990s, Chairman Michael Eisner of Disney, envisioned an American history theme-park to be called Disney’s America. Colonial Williamsburg in southeastern Virginia initially provided inspiration for Disney executives. Prior to 1993, Disney officials surreptitiously acquired land-options in Prince William county using false names in...

... you come to expect flaws and glitches seeing that these devices are manmade. One of the biggest computer flaws in computer history was the “Pentium Microprocessor flaw”; this was a bug in the Intel P5 Pentium floating point that caused the processor to return incorrect results for many calculations used in math and science. This bug was blamed on the fact that there were a few missing entries in the lookup table used by Intel. This flaw was exposed by Professor Thomas R. Nicely, who was a professor at Lynchburg College in Virginia. Nicely discovered this error June 13, 1994 when noticing some inconsistencies in his calculations. It took Nicely until October 19, 1994 to be sure that it was in fact the microprocessor causing his error. Once Nicely was sure that this was causing the error he reported it to Intel October 24, 1994. It was later discovered that Intel was aware of this flaw since May 1994 while they were conducting some testing for a newer model. News of this bug spread quickly, and Intel needed to respond publicly. They responded stating that there was a floating point flaw but that they didn’t feel it would affect many users and offered to replace processors for users who could prove that they were affected. The public was not satisfied with this response and Pentium was forced to offer a replacement to all users who requested a replacement. This dramatically affected the finances of Intel; the company announced a 475 million charge against its earnings...

...REACTION PAPER “FREEDOM WRITERS” By: Racel Emmanuelle R. Mendoza There is an obvious discrimination shown in the movie “Freedom Writers”, where everybody hates everybody and they got no choice but to live in a world full of pandemonium. Random cultural implications are shown in the movie. Where one has to accept his/her society since birth, or someone has to really join a gang to keep up and belong to a hood. In the case of the students in the movie, they are just simply hopeless and what they all just do is to keep raging flames in their hearts. Until one tough and undeniably smart professor came on their way to take action – Ms. Gruwell. As Ms. Gruwell came into the movie, I just thought that there will really be one person who will unexpectedly cross one’s life and lead you towards impunity. Same with the world or certain country where there is rampant chaos and a peacemaker leads to fight for the right. At first, Ms. Gruwell had dismay that she wasn’t able to understand everything. And because she thinks and considers the factors she sees in her current endeavor, she came up with a very unique plan that a usual professor wouldn’t think about. – FREEDOM WRITING. I guess, the maker of the movie wanted to disseminate how the therapy of writing one’s feelings comes into such a relief to those whose minds are insane and broken. This is a very good twist in the movie, where in cultural liberalism takes place. Series of difficulties are shown in the movie, and how brave Ms...
