...bitcoin work? Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer network, a set of protocols (standards for interoperability), client interfaces (called wallets) and a currency that operates on top of all of those technologies. The bitcoin system allows any person to send or receive a fraction of a bitcoin (the currency unit) to another person, anywhere in the world. The bitcoin system operates on the Internet without the need for banks or bank accounts and allows people to send money like they send email. To start using bitcoin, you need a bitcoin client, or "wallet" application. The bitcoin client allows you to use the bitcoin network, just like a web browser allows you to use the web. There are many different types and makers of bitcoin wallets, for desktop and mobile operating systems and also available as web applications. To receive bitcoin, you need a bitcoin "address", which is a bit like an email address or bank account number. If someone knows your bitcoin address, they can send you money, but cannot do anything more, not even identify who you are or where you are. Therefore, you can freely share your bitcoin addresses with anyone without fear or security risk. Once you have a "wallet," it can create any number of bitcoin addresses for you, even one per transaction. Give those addresses to anyone you want to send you bitcoin. Tip: bitcoin addresses are created by your wallet and do not need to be registered with anyone, or linked to your identity or email address. They can be used immediately to...

...have to be resourceful to be successful. Some turn to helping non-profits to raise awareness of their products... ...Big Skinny, on the other hand, went at it in a BIG way, erecting a 21 foot by 10 foot wallet right in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA. Guinness World Records quickly crowned it the World's Largest Wallet. Several not-for-profits benefitted from this unique fund-raising vehicle to remind holiday shoppers to help the poor and others in need. Day after day, representatives of these groups told about their worthy causes and collected donations. Each group had its own pocket in the giant wallet. "Our hope is that the big crimson wallet urges folks to open their wallets to help address the needs of the underserved community," says Alexandrov, who also arranged for the Big Skinny website to stream live videos from historic Harvard Square of all those who participated. Those groups served include the Jose Mateo Dance Theatre, Salvation Army, Pediatric Aids Treatment Solutions, Harvard Square Homeless Shelter, Old Cambridge Baptist Church, Solutions at Work, Earthen Vessels, Molecular Frontiers, Cycle Kids, Cambridge Arts Council and Medulla Thyroid Cancer Research at John Hopkins. The Big Skinny Wallet, conceived by Alexandrov, solves the top five wallet problems. It is made of ultra-thin nylon micro-fiber and its unique design results in a 50 percent reduction in size. www.macedonian.org Entrepreneur Holiday Gift Ideas Under $50 by Margie Zable Fisher December...

...------------------------------------------------- Human Resource Strategy Analyzing Google and Protiviti May 18, 2015 Dr. Woodard Bus 508 May 18, 2015 Dr. Woodard Bus 508 When looking at two countries on the Fortune 100 list I choose the number one company and the number 100 company. Those two companies are Google and Protiviti, Inc. Both companies are doing very well and have similarities and differences. Upon dissecting the two companies and figuring out why they belong on the Fortune 100 list, I found the following. The number one best company to work for in the world is Google. Google offers a great deal of products and services that are very useful. Google has over 50 different products listed on their website. The products are categorized by web products, mobile products, business products, media, Geo, specialized search, home & office, social, and innovation. A lot of their products can be used on mobile devices by downloading them as applications. Some of the applications that are very popular that Google created is Google Maps, Gmail, Drive, Google Wallet, Google Translate, Calendar, and many others. One application that is really cool is Google Wallet. It is basically like a prepaid credit card that is monitored by Google’s bank. You are able to make purchases as if it was a regular card. You can send and receive money. This is a very helpful application/service especially for parents that are giving allowances to their kids, college student’s receiving...

...less paperwork. On April 5 of last year, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act or Act) became law in the U.S. Don’t let the rah-rah of the law’s title fool you. This law is all about making it much easier for private companies to access public capital with less muss, less fuss. The law also provides relief to certain companies, emerging growth company or EGCs, so they can go public on U.S. exchanges without providing as much information to investors as early in the process as they used to. All this easy access to investors’ wallets means some “radicals” accused lawmakers of trying to pull a fast one. Eliot Spitzer was blunt: “It shouldn’t be called the JOBS Act, it should be called the Bring Fraud Back to Wall Street Act.” EY is the global public accounting firm of choice to emerging social networking/social gaming companies such as Groupon, Zynga, and Facebook as well as veteran technology and media companies such as Google, HP, News Corp, and Oracle. Twitter’s auditor is probably EY, given EY’s market dominance in the Silicon Valley emerging growth tech environment and EY’s deep “experience” with Facebook, Groupon, and Zynga. Twitter did not reply to a request for auditor information, and CEO Dick Costolo did not reply to my open request via...

Digital marketing has proved to be a commanding enabler and radical of business models. We see its consumption going beyond the normal boundaries of geography and time.

...When you're shopping for a smartphone, what do you expect to get for less than $400 without a contract? Certainly not a top-of-the-line device, right? Until recently, that kind of price has been reserved for devices that were mid-range at best, or entry-level at worst. Ever since the gorgeous and powerful Nexus 4 came out last year for $300 on the Play Store, however, it's been clear Google is trying to give the high-end, $600-plus Android flagships a run for their money. Now the company's back with the Nexus 5, a power user's dream that sells for $350 and features some of the same specs you'd expect to see in a top-shelf device. That is, if you can even get your hands on one. The device sold out in less than two hours, and new orders won't get fulfilled for at least a few weeks. But what's so intriguing about the Nexus 5 that it's causing such a ruckus on the Play Store? It's a $350 flagship phone with the serenity of a pure Android experience and all the trimmings, that's what. The question is, can you survive the estimated three to five week waiting time? The Nexus 4 swept us off of our feet when it arrived last year. And for good reason: It was an aggressively priced smartphone with an elegant design and specs that were, at the time, quite high-end specs. It delivered great performance, a beautiful display and the best of what Android 4.2 had to offer, but it also had a few shortcomings, including subpar battery life and no LTE. Also, it only launched in black, with a...

...this essay, the globalization, technology, innovation, diversity, and ethics of Google will be discussed. Google has grown substantially and is a proven success throughout the world. In the area of innovation, Google has found a way to introduce products to potential consumers by using a simple search engine, rather than a company paying for blind advertising and marketing. One small example of diversity in Google would be its team as well as the broad base of races that use its services. Tools such as Google translate make it a fair search engine for those of any ethnicity or culture. According to the Corante in 2003 Google …tracks the languages used to access Google over the past two years: Google handles more than 200 million queries a day from around the world. Increasingly, these queries are not in English. Over the past few years, Google has aggressively localized its search engine for more than 60 languages. These language-specific search engines are very important to Google's continued growth, since the majority of new Internet users are not native-English speakers. (Internet search) Globalization is a key to Google’s functionality and success. When the founders sat down and identified the problem with search engines of that era, an issue they set about solving was the inability to globally search and understand items from all over the world. By 2005 Google had been named, for a second time, the top of successful companies that has developed...

...Case Study Mob War: “Google V/S Facebook Mobile Ad Revenue Shootout” Submitted By: Amaan Ansari ABSTRACT With the advent of tablets and smartphones the mobile advertisement segment has got a shot in the arm like never before. Initially termed as unnecessary cluttering of the device has entered a whole new dimension it seems as the latest reports by a World Wide Web giant, Facebook, suggest its success. So is the mobile advertisement heading for happily ever after? Reports by another World Wide Web giant, Google, suggest otherwise. The case takes into consideration the popularity, inherent qualities and limitations, pricing, challenges and scope of improvement of mobile advertising with respect to two biggest contributors to this segment i.e. Google and Facebook. So what exactly is the scenario? Let’s find out. INTRODUCTION Advertisers in the online realm are spoilt for choice. They have the option of utilizing large sites or a plethora of specialized websites, both large and small, to reach consumers with varied interests. However, few plans can be complete without including the big daddies viz. Google or Facebook - or both - because their sheer dominance on the web. In India, their combined estimate comes out to two-thirds of the total advertising moolah. In 2012, Google’s earnings were almost $44 billion from advertising worldwide as compared to marginally over $5 billion for Facebook. The latter is significantly smaller but plays a special role in...

...Operating system : An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function. Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also include accounting software for cost allocation of processor time, mass storage, printing, and other resources. For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware, although the application code is usually executed directly by the hardware and will frequently make a system call to an OS function or be interrupted by it. Operating systems can be found on almost any device that contains a computer—from cellular phones and video game consoles to supercomputers and web servers. Examples of popular modern operating systems include Android, BSD, iOS, Linux, OS X, QNX, Microsoft Windows, Windows Phone, and IBM z/OS. All these, except Windows, Windows Phone and z/OS, share roots in UNIX. Smartphone A Smartphone, or smart phone, is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a feature phone.
