...issue today? Do you believe that our current jury system is sufficient to handle emerging complex issues? Traditionally, and even now, the intent of having a jury hear cases is to have a case be heard by a collection of piers. This collection is carefully selected to be neutral and unbiased. The selection should not take into consideration age, race, gender, or any other defining attribute. This means, essentially, that there should be both older and younger people selected for any jury. In the case regarding Apple vs. Samsung, “the jury was diverse, but decidedly not a panel of patent experts: among the two women and seven men were a social worker, an engineer, and an unemployed video game enthusiast” (Wilhelm). The jury of this particular case delivered its “much anticipated decision” in only three days time, ordering that Samsung was to pay Apple $120 million for copying some of the Apple iPhone’s technology and applying it to some of their smartphones (Mintz). In cases where there is technology involved such as a lawsuit against Google or Apple, this can be a difficult process. Technologies such as the Internet and smart phones have skyrocketed in a very short timeframe, and many in the baby boom generation have been unable to keep pace. There is a severe disconnect in their understanding of this technology, its implications in everyday life, and thus the complex legal issues that may arise in this new tech savvy environment. The question then becomes, how can the...

...FINAL MARKETING PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We are currently living in the smartphone revolution; over 157.8 million smartphones were sold in the final quarter of 2011 alone (Brownlow). 46% of all mobile subscribers own a smartphone, and the top selling applications for these users are location services. One thing that location services are leveraging, is the new FCC mandate which is requiring all cellphones to have GPS by the year 2018. This is due to the decrease in landline use, and the 911 emergency services is required to have a way to pinpoint a callers location in case of any emergency. So what does this mean for users, there will have to be a way to track cellphones in the near future, and everyone will be on board.

...communication, cell phones have also turned into cameras, computers, and even GPS navigators. The new fad in cell phones are called “smartphones,” which are high-end mobile phones built on a mobile computing platform, with more advanced computing ability and connectivity than contemporary cell phones. The first smartphones were devices that combined the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a mobile phone or camera phone. However, today's models also combine the functions of media players, digital cameras, video cameras, and GPS navigation units. They also typically include touchscreens and web browsers that can access and display standard web pages, and high-speed data access via Wi-Fi and mobile broadband. Years ago smartphones began as an opportunity for business individuals to receive e-mail and keep up with clients, but they are now becoming a phenomena for regular consumers and individuals starting as young as teenagers. The consumer using smartphones is getting younger in age everyday. In fact, to demonstrate the youth of smartphone consumers, my little cousin just got an iPhone for her tenth birthday. Due to the increasing popularity of smartphones to the middle class public, I decided to choose the iPhone as a branded product to write this paper on, specifically because it the most high-end and popular version of a smartphone that is being offered on the market today. Based on my previous knowledge of iPhones and what I have learned on consumer behavior...

...image formats. The earliest documented use of the term gadget in context of software engineering was in 1985 by the developers of Amiga OS, the operating system of the Amiga computers (intuition.library and also later gadtools.library). It denotes what other technological traditions call GUI widget—a control element in graphical user interface. This naming convention remains in continuing use (as of 2008) since then. The X11 windows system 'Intrinsics' also defines gadgets and their relationship to widgets (buttons, labels etc.). The gadget was a windowless widget which was supposed to improve the performance of the application by reducing the memory load on the X server. A gadget would use the Window id of its parent widget and had no children of its own It is not known whether other software companies are explicitly drawing on that inspiration when featuring the word in names of their technologies or simply referring to the generic meaning. The word widget is older in this context. In the movie "Back to School" from 1986 by Alan Metter, there is a scene where an economics professor Dr. Barbay, wants to start for...

...MARCH 19, 2012 Teens, Smartphones & Texting Texting volume is up while the frequency of voice calling is down. About one in four teens say they own smartphones. Amanda Lenhart Senior Research Specialist, Pew Internet Project Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project 1615 L St., NW – Suite 700 Washington, D.C. 20036 Phone: 202-419-4500 http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2012/Teens-and-smartphones.aspx Summary of findings The volume of texting among teens has risen from 50 texts a day in 2009 to 60 texts for the median teen text user. Older teens, boys, and blacks are leading the increase. Texting is the dominant daily mode of communication between teens and all those with whom they communicate. The typical American teen is sending and receiving a greater number of texts than in 2009. Overall, 75% of all teens text. Here are the key findings about the role of texting in teens’ lives: The median number of texts (i.e. the midpoint user in our sample) sent on a typical day by teens 12-17 rose from 50 in 2009 to 60 in 2011. Much of this increase occurred among older teens ages 14-17, who went from a median of 60 texts a day to a median of 100 two years later. Boys of all ages also increased their texting volume from a median of 30 texts daily in 2009 to 50 texts in 2011. Black teens showed an increase of a median of 60 texts per day to 80. Older girls remain the most enthusiastic texters, with a median of 100 texts a day in 2011, compared with 50 for boys...
