...The reason my bedroom is so important to me is because my room holds all of my personal belongings, which are very important to me. Also my room is a comfortable place to study or just to relax. I can also have privacy whenever I want it by resorting to my room, this may be hard for some people if they share a room. Whenever my mom is nagging at me or when I'm stressed out with school or work, I like to go into my room and just be myself. All my belongings in my room surround me and make me realize everything is going to be all right. It gives me a sense of security. The way my room is set up makes it kind of cluttered, but that is the way I like it and I don't care what anyone says. As you first come into my room, to the right is my dresser. My dresser is full of things like perfume, jewelry, hair ties, my alarm clock and just a bunch of junk, mostly things that come out of my pockets at the end of the day. The dresser itself is brown with six drawers, sets of three side by side. Diagonally across from that is my curio cabinet which holds all of my porcelain dolls, the cabinet is a light brown with glass shelves. Next to my bed which is in the middle of the room is my entertainment center which holds my stereo and pictures and just odds and ends. Everything is worth keeping. I believe that other people feel the same way about their rooms and homes, it gives people a sense of security in a way that you can control what goes in your room and who goes in your room. It sort...

They are used in our everyday lives, and to be honest who can live without them. Every day over a 10,000 new electronics are purchased. IPhone and Android being the top 2, Apple and Samsung have went head to head in competing for the best product. Apple seems to keep their consumer coming back for more time after time.

...Adcock English 111 10 November 2015 iOS vs Android This is to inform the advantages of having an iOS device versus an Android Device. I am going to talk about Apple’s clean software interface versus Android’s, I am also going to explain the processes involved in security updates, and software updates all together. All these combined will construct a pattern of how 90% of all Apple users stay up to date with the most current software while Android has a consistent 35% that are up to date. Apple devices are known to have a cleaner software to hardware integration because Apple specifically designs and fabricates software and hardware for each other while Android designs software only. iOS has always been known for its outstanding smooth interface and most of this is specifically due to Apple writing its own software for its own manufactured hardware whereas Android, while its own software is well known and popular has always been known for its glitches and jumpy interface. This is because Android doesn’t manufacture its own devices, they have companies such as Motorola, Samsung, and Nokia which is great, Microsoft has been doing this for years but the problem is all the devices have their own specification to run on such as different hardware specifications, screen sizes, and based on the carrier i.e. Verizon Wireless, AT&T, and Sprint they have their own software to add and has to be modified to fit their devices. Apple has it written in their contracts will all American...

...iOS vs android Before we go on with the comparison of android and iOS, we must know what these two words, that have so much importance in today's world, really are. Android and iOS are two different mobile operating system, the former is from Google Inc. and the latter is developed by Apple Inc. iOS was first released in 2007 and Android in 2008. Both thee operating systems have many differences the basic one being that these are programmed in different languages. Android is programmed in C, C++ and Java, whereas, iOS is programmed in C, C++, Objective-C. Available languages in an Android are 32, and in iOS the number is a little higher i.e. 34. Both of theses two have their own browsers, internet messaging, video chat, maps, voice commands facility, however , where Android seems to be running on different smart phones and is indeed the most popular mobile operating system today, iOS runs only on Apple products. FaceTime, Safari browser, and other apps work only on the Apple products that has been a reason why Android is more popular than iOS. Moreover, using bluetooth you can only share files with Apple products if you're an iPhone user. Over a period of around 5 years, android and iOS operating systems have become more advanced, competing each other and continuously improving themselves with releases of newer versions of both mobile operating systems in areas they were lacking. Therefore, its hard to distinguish which mobile software offers more or which one is...

...Open Source vs. Closed Source Open source and Closed source, two topics that have become quite the buzz in the world Information Technology (IT). Chances are, if you work in IT, you will eventually be faced with having to decide on witch of these technologies you will have to go with when planning for an upgrade or new IT system implementation. Before choosing which technology to go with we as IT professionals must first understand the difference between the two as well as carefully weight the benefits and disadvantages of each solution. An Open Source Operating system refers to software whose source code, the medium in which programmers create and modify software, is freely available on the Internet; whereas, by contrast the closed source code for proprietary commercial software is usually a closely guarded secret and is not available to the public. (Crooke, 2012) Notable open source operating systems include Android and Linux. Notable Closed source OS include Apple iOS. The two major benefit of using an Open source software is that the software is distributed under a variety of licensing terms, but almost all have two things in common: the software can be used without paying a license fee, and anyone can modify the software to add capabilities not envisaged by its originators. (Crooke, 2012) These benefit help to lower cost of products as well as offer customers the ability to customize platforms as needed to meeting business needs. The disadvantage that is associated...
