...Unit 3 Assignment 1: Video Summary 1 * CPU: The central Processing Unit (CPU) is the main processing unit of the personal computer (PC). It has an integral relationship with the motherboard and the system memory. These three devices control the data-processing aspect of the PC. Drives handle data storage, and input/output (IO) interfaces allow human interaction, communications with peripherals, and network communication. * Clock Rate: The actual speed of the (CPU) is governed by a BIOS setting called the clock rate. CPUs run in a range of speeds, not just one specific speed. Increasing the CPU is called over-clocking. It improves performance, but it comes at a cost. The faster the CPU runs, the hotter it gets. If it gets too hot, the BIOS shuts down the CPU. * CPU Interfaces and Sock Types * Chipset help direct and process data and commands for the CPU. * Sockets allow the CPU to connect to the Computer. * The motherboard provides power to the CPU. * It measure the temperature and controls fans to cool the CPU. * The motherboard shuts down the PC it the CPU is too hot to prevent damage. * System Memory: There are two major types of memory: dynamic and static. Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) loses information in the absence of power. Static Ram (SRAM retains its data like a hard drive regardless of power state. In general, DRAM is used as system memory, and SRAM is used for cache and storage devices. * SDRAM: is neither a contradiction...

... Intranet Tools and Benefits According to Laudon and Laudon (2009), Internet networking standards and Web technologies can be used to create private networks that are called intranets. An intranet is private and secure network that is restricted to use by authorized individuals. The intranet network is protected by a firewall which prevents unauthorized individuals from entering the network. Sales and Marketing could benefit from using an intranet system by having instant access to accurate information concerning product information, marketing analysis, sales reports, and other necessary information to make decisions for these departments. The human resources department could benefit from the intranet in a couple of different ways. This could start with the way that prospective employees apply for a job. By having the applicants use a secure terminal it would allow the HR department to compare applicants side by side without mountains of paperwork. Interactive software could also be installed as a training tool for some jobs within the organization. This would help to lower cost by reduction in paper and printing cost for applications. It would also help lower cost by manpower hours by use of the interactive training tools versus a classroom setting where someone...

...QUALITATIVE METHOD OF CASE ANALYSIS EOPT THEORY INTRODUCTION Qualitative Case Analysis, as distinct from the Quantitative method, deals with organizational issues that impede or prevent companies from being effectively organized. Qualitative Case Analysis is typically used in Organizational Behaviour, Human Resource Management, Organizational Change, Industrial Relations or any venue that is significantly impacted by human interaction. This type of analysis identifies inconsistencies, incongruities and conflicts that are sub-optimal and allows the analyst to prescribe solutions that address both the acute problems facing the organization (the individual events or actions observed) and the chronic, underlying conditions that promote these sub-optimal conditions. 1. OVERVIEW The Overview is a 5 – 7 sentence paragraph that establishes the context in which any analysis or decision must be made for the case in question. This section of the report indicates to the reader that the analyst (You) understands the circumstances of the organization’s dilemma. The writer must identify the key people involved, most critical event or events the have happened and the situation that has resulted.

...CIS 10 | PC Gaming | | Ryan Mills 4-24-2014 | PCs are a good choice for gaming for a multitude of reasons, including but not limited to price, reparability, upgradability, value, versatility, performance, game selection, game prices, and more. Computers are an ever-evolving platform. It grows in power, capability, and value almost every single year. The cause of this improvement is partially because it is free of control from any single entity. Rather than being regulated by a single company, control and improvement influence over the PC belongs to everyone equally. Everybody has the freedom to create and/or sell software and hardware for it. It's being constantly improved by competing companies and individuals all over the hardware spectrum, and all of them are trying to offer you (and game developers) the best experience possible. A common misconception is that pc gaming is more expensive than consoles. It is not. Especially if you only plan to target console performance. There are already graphics cards available on the market for $150 that surpass the PS4 and XBox One in terms of frame rate, resolution, detail, value, and power draw. A lot of people incorrectly believe that you have to spend upwards of $750-$1000 to get a PC fully capable of handling games. These inaccuracies can be attributed partially to the highly vocal and misinformed masses, and to the availability and hype of the expensive PC hardware we see advertised a lot. You see it more because it's...

...Rigney IT302: Human Computer Interaction December 21, 2011 Interaction allows the users actions to be translated into information that flows from a system (perhaps a computer or a smartphone) through a person and back through the system again. The user has a goal and he/she acts to achieve it in an environment by providing input to the system then measures the effect of their action on the environment (interprets output from the system; feedback) and then compares the results with the goal. The response directs the next action, beginning the cycle again. Goals do not specify particular actions; they must be translated into intentions that specify the actions that lead to the completion of a goal. Goals and intentions do not have a one-to-one relationship, however; there may be many different ways to achieve a goal, each with its own unique sequence of actions. These actions are the specific tasks that must be accomplished to achieve the user’s goals. The developments in wireless communication, distributed systems, and increases in the power and interactive capabilities of hand-held and portable devices, provide us with the possibility to have wide-ranging and continual access to computing resources in a variety of contexts (Mobile Device World referatele, n.d.). These technological changes make increasing demands on the quality of the user interface and offer the potential to further progress the functionality of computing devices. However, this makes human-computer interaction...

...Case Analysis, Apple Inc. 1 Case Analysis, Apple Inc. 1 of 4 Case Analysis, Apple Inc. 2 This case analysis is written to analyze the topic of Strategic Management and answering the question of why it is critical to the success of an organization in meeting its goals and mission. This analysis will address the major issues surrounding the organization or individuals involved with the organization, will identify alternate courses of action to address the issues identified with a decision/recommendation for action. Once called Apple Computer and historically know for its Macintosh personal computers (PC) line, Apple Computer dropped the latter part of its name in 2007 and became Apple, Inc. Even though non-PC product lines drove the majority of Apple’s financial performance there still seemed to be no real change in the company’s strategic profile. There were several thousand people that were laid off and by lying off employees to try and fix their financial issues, could have been a portion of the problem (Yoffie & Slind, 2008). Jobs are what contribute to a company’s effectiveness. If the jobs had been retained and management had attempted to find new ways of conducting business to survive by being innovative, Apple, Inc. may have witnessed success earlier (Mello, 2011, pp 112-115). Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and John Sculley came on board and made great strides towards increase in effective marketing, partnering with other companies and joint ventures...
