...Today computers have been important factor to society because of the way they are used towards education, government, internet, and etc. Most of the people want to buy a computer to be able to us internet. With internet you could chat with people all over the world, research information, buy and order supplies, food, computers, movies, clothing, and etc, so having internet in computers is very helpful for many. Computers have been tremendously beneficial to the educational system since the style and way it is taught. For example computers have a variety of programs that can help students improve their learning and can also help them with grammar issues. Some computers have a Microsoft Word, which is a program where you can write a letter, essay, memo, cover letter, or short paragraph which can be printed or sent electronically (by email). The Microsoft Word document has tool bar which has many bars to help improve the letter you are writing, a specific tool is the paragraph in the format bar which checks for any mistakes found in the letter, and it can also help find fragment sentences. The other way computers have helped the education system is being able to have websites for each school that students attend to be well informed about the school and also being able to check their own grades or maybe if a student misses a class he can find the notes or assignments that he missed. Computers have helped finding criminals in the past or detecting possible terrorist threats...

...The Zune Microsoft first introduced this portable media player in 2006, with several new generations of the device to follow. The Zune faced several major challenges: namely, inevitable comparisons to the iPod, which rules the portable media marketplace, and the fact that its software is only available for Windows (so far). In a financial report covering the fiscal quarter ending in December 2008, Microsoft said Zune revenues had decreased by 54%, or $100 million. Learner blames the bust on several factors, including software that was constantly changing and iPod's head start of several years in the market Microsoft killed the Zune once and for all in October of 2011. Former Microsoft Exec: Zune Failed Because The Music Industry Was “Hooked” On Apple http://www.cultofmac.com/166944/former-microsoft-exec-zune-failed-because-the-music-industry-was-hooked-on-apple/#vmVCT6uM2TFgyIxi.99 We all remember the Zune. Microsoft’s failed attempt at an iPod competitor gained about as much traction as Windows Phone 7 has during the last two years. Apple already had its hands around the music industry’s neck with the iPod and iTunes — there was no room for something like the Zune. It wasn’t that the Zune was a bad product, it was just too late to the game. Former Microsoft executive Robbie Bach was in charge of the Zune division, and in a recent interview he acknowledges that Microsoft made a mistake releasing the Zune in the first place. In an interview with Wired’s GeekWire: “If...

...outsource much of their manufacturing and they also have been able produce some of their own supplies, which has allowed Apple a great advantage in the competitive market. Bargaining power of buyers is the next force which a firm is reliant on customers. There is a very high demand currently for Apple products and what gives them a great advantage is that customers see them as a unique product, where the substitutes, for instance, Dell, HP, IBM, etc just do not compare. The iPod and iPhone Most iPods except for the “Classic,” rely on flash memory instead of a hard drive for storage. The benefits of flash memory are reliability, form factor, and energy consumption. Realizing the significant benefits of flash memory for portable media devices, Apple formed long-term relationships with Samsung, Intel, and Micron, and by mid-2007 commanded about 25% of worldwide flash production (Apple Inc., 2008, Harvard Business Case). As for the iPad and the tablet market, it turns out that Apple has secured about 60% of global touch panel capacity, with a focus on 10-inch displays. Some have speculated that this has forced some competitors to initially focus on devices with 7-inch screens, such as Samsung with its Galaxy Tab. The effect of commanding such a large portion of the worldwide supply of a key component for a product is that: First, because Apple is buying these components in such large quantities it can exercise significant leverage over suppliers. This leverage enables...

...we perceive movies, music and television. In this I will analyze Microsoft’s Zune advertising strategies. The Zune is Microsoft’s version of the Apple iPod. The Zune is a compact, high-definition MP3 player that measures 4" tall by 2" wide by 0.3" thick (Microsoft Zune, 2011) . The Zune has a 3.3" multi touch OLED display which dominates the device’s face. There is a single home button lying just below the OLED display. This home button can be used to navigate Zune's multiple menus and many features. The Zune version uses less battery power than previous models because the display does not require a back light. (Miles, 2009) The Zune currently has a much longer battery life than it's competitor the iPod, requiring much shorter charging times and more energy conservation. For many portable electronics enthusiasts, the Zune has a superior build when compared to Apple’s iPod. (Microsoft Zune, 2011 )It is more durable, uses versatile file formats, and has a user friendly platform compared to other MP3 players. However, Microsoft’s marketing campaign has failed horribly in successfully marketing and advertising the Zune to their “anything but I-pod” demographic. In fact, most people have never heard of a Zune Player. If we look at sales statistics in the world of MP3 players, iPod dominates the market with over 63% of current sales, whereas Zune is only responsible for 13% of sales with the target demographic for this product is independent-minded people with a highly disposable...

...Academic Article Review – Does an iPod make you happy? An exploration of the effects of iPod ownership on life satisfaction Cockrill (2012) conducted a study that explores the relationship between the independent variable of owning an iPod (versus other MP3 players) and the dependent variable - life satisfaction. This article is presented in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour (Volume 11; Issue 5). It is worth noting that Apple has captured almost seventy-eight percent market share in the MP3 player industry. This expresses the popularity and superiority of the iPod over other brands in the industry and provides justice as to why the iPod was chosen for the purpose of the study over other MP3 brands. In addition to providing utilitarian value, consumer goods also have hedonic qualities – eliciting emotions from the consumer and aspiring to the “ideal self.” This gives individuals the opportunity to use music as part of the “Extended Self” in a relatively inexpensive way when compared to clothes and cars. This article assumes a bottom-up theory which states that life satisfaction is highly influences by external situational and environmental factors and thus, does not focus on any internal traits such as optimism. Therefore, to measure the effect of iPod ownership on life satisfaction, four main hypotheses were developed that linked peer influence, design, the iPod phenomenon, and the “cool” factor of iPods to the life satisfaction of iPod and non-iPod owners. A multinational...

...Mesoeconomics Introduction: Mesoeconomics is new concept used to describe the study of economic arrangements which are not based either on the microeconomics of buying and selling and supply and demand, nor on the macroeconomic reasoning of aggregate totals of demand, but on the importance of under what structures these forces play out, and how to measure these effects. It dates from the 1980s as several economists began questioning whether there would ever be a bridge between the two main economic paradigms in mainstream economics, without wanting to discard both paradigms in favor of some other basic methodology and paradigm. The term comes from "meso-" (which means "middle") and "economics", and is constructed in analogy with micro and macro economics. The problem • How to analyse economic coordination and change in a way that is useful for the study of growth and development, technological and institutional change, market and price dynamics • The problem is that micro-macro is no good. Why? Because it cannot analyse the process of change as it actually happens, through changing connections and changing populations. • Micro sums to macro is static and without structure (also without knowledge as interactions and populations). It does not deal with populations, networks, structures or processes. • For analysis of economies as evolving complex adaptive systems, we need to start with what exists and what changes Economic systems are made of rules: ...

...Apple’s portable music player known as the iPod has become a household name. The iPod has definitely progressed over the last few years and changed how people listen to music. Apple has been using a limited-line strategy for their product. They make only music/video players and there are only a few variations between them, such as size, capacity, and touch screens. There are several portable media players (PMP) on the market today, but Apple claims to have the best quality ones out there. The iPod was introduced in late 2001 and they were fairly expensive starting at $399 which held 5GB of music. At that time it was unheard of to be able to take that much music with you while you walk or exercise. The problem was that the iPod only worked with Apple’s Mac computers and most people had PCs, so they were missing a huge market by making them only compatible with their platform. In July 2002 they finally released an iPod that was compatible with PCs, but the cheapest one was still $300. Sales were picking up a little more, but they were not jumping off the shelves like Apple expected. By April 2003 Apple had doubled the capacity of their iPod with the new “third generation” and continued to offer them at the same price. Apple started seeing an increase in sales and by June they sold their 1 millionth unit. They now have passed the introduction stage and are heading strong into the growth stage. Within six months Apple had reached the two million mark and seemed to keep going strong...

...Com/100 September 5th, 2011 Christine Piatkowski New Business Microsoft introduced the Zune mp3 player in 2006. Microsoft hoped that their portable music players would compete against the popular Apple iPod. Though Microsoft introduced innovative technologies in the Zune such as the first to include a Wi-Fi access and built-in FM radio, consumers preferred quantity to quality (Chapin, 2011). Advertising Media Microsoft has launched many marketing campaigns to promote the Zune. One of its major campaigns occurred in many college campuses across the country. Microsoft would select a group of college individuals to promote the device in exchange of free merchandise from the company. Microsoft also depended on the viral movement to promote the Zune. Videos surfaced online from technological device reviewers that generated anticipation and excitement about this new device. Magazines would also feature articles on the Zune’s capabilities and high-quality characteristics versus the Apple iPod. Microsoft partnered with MySpace to influence the current social media users. Unsuccessful Advertising Strategies Microsoft’s attempt to stabilize the Zune in the competitive mp3 market did not satisfy consumers. Young college students were an important strategy that Microsoft chose to promote their new product. The iPod was the dominant and popular mp3 player at the moment. The youth makes a product popular because if they promote it other young individuals see that it...

...is to collect headphones and portable media players. Also I need good music to go with all that gear. One of my peeves is the quality of the music I am listening to. Not in the sense of album artist and the songs they sing but the media it’s presented on and the overall quality of the music itself. In the near future I would like to spoil myself with a new media player. The media player comes from a company called Astell & Kern. Astell & Kern are the leaders in portable audio equipment. One of two key features I like most about their players is the ability to play High-Resolution Audio. High-Resolution Audio is in a class of its own when comparing quality to an mp3 file. The second is quality of the DAC chip inside the player. The DAC or Digital Audio Converter turns the digital signal into an analog signal thus creating a more natural sounding tone. One of the more recent releases is their new AK JR model PMP (Portable media player). Two key features of this specific model id thin and light design and an increase output with lowered impedance. As a “portable” device its design and weight is very important to me. I carry these devices with me all day, every day and being too heavy or an eyesore is very important to me. With an increased output and lower impedance this means that this device can push really demanding headphones or speakers without the need for amplifier. This is very important to an audiophile because if the player cannot properly push the headphones...
