...Wikileaks and Hacktivist Culture Summary Lately there has been impressive talk about the Wikileaks phenomenon, and justifiably along these lines, given the volume and affectability of the reports the site has discharged. What this exchange has uncovered, notwithstanding, is that the media and government orgs accept there is a solitary hero to be concerned with—something of a James Bond reprobate, in the event that you will—when truth be told the hero is something by and large diverse: a casual system of revolutionary people bound by an imparted ethic and society. Consistent with standard way of thinking, the charged hero is, obviously, Wikileaks originator Julian Assange, and the exchange of him has run from Raffi Khatchadourian's June picture in The New Yorker, which makes Assange resemble an expert spy in a John le Carré novel, to Tunku Varadarajan's epic muckraking bloviation in The Daily Beast: "With his bloodless, pallid face, his thin hair emptied of all shade, his languorous, exceptionally un-Australian appendages, and his atmosphere of blinding whiteness that seems to concede no subtlety, Assange looks every last bit the flippant, uber-geek blackguard." Some have gotten for making Assange bankrupt" (regardless of the fact that we must maltreat universal law to do it), while others, going from Daniel Ellsberg to Assange himself, suppose he is (in Ellsberg's statements) "in some threat." I don't question that Assange is in peril, yet regardless of the possibility...

...Assignment 1: Computer Memory Hacking Professor Carl Brown CIS 106 Technology continues to evolve exponentially. However these technological advancements continue to pose a threat to both individuals and information resources of companies and governments. There is therefore the need to protect one’s data and information due to the emerging threats and risks. Hacking is where third parties create a backdoor version of a hardware and software so as to manipulate or unlock hidden functionalities on a machine. Most of these hacks are open source and free soft wares. These hacks manipulate the firmware update option on many devices to run and install themselves. Many researchers have found out that breaking into a computer’s encrypted hard drive is very easy with the help of the right tools. A research by Princeton University revealed how low tech hackers access even the most well protected computers (Jordan Robertson 2008). This paper details how encryption was coveted for a long time as a vital shield against hackers, but can be manipulated by altering the operations of the memory chips. This paper outlines just how vulnerable the data we store on our computers and laptops is to possible hacking. Through freezing the Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) chip, which is the most frequently used memory chip in personal gadgets.

...Competitive Organization and Product in Organization ECO/365 Market Analysis and Recommendations Team B is a strategic planning group assigned to complete a competitive market analysis of the smart phone industry in preparation for our company’s potential new smart phone product. This paper is intended to summarize the research findings on the current leading competitor in the market, the iPhone s5 and our recommendations on how to successfully compete and maximize profit in the smart phone market. History of Apple Apple Computers was founded in April 1976 by Steven Jobs and Steven Wozniak. The company built computers and operating systems that were revolutionary for the industry. The company has had some competition, and therefore has had some ups and downs financially. Top management in the company has changed over the years and the company had difficulty competing with other computer companies. However, in the late 90s and early 00s the company had an increase in profits because of innovative products. In 2001, the company introduced the iPod. This little device was just a small music player. It played and stored music files that the customer could download on the Internet. Apple Inc. dropped the “computer” out of its name in 2007; the same year it introduced the iPhone (Sanford, 2013). The first phone made by the company was a success. In the following years the company continued to improve its product; introducing the iPhone 3g, iPhone 3gs, then the iPhone4, iPhone4s...

...Patents in the Modern World Stefano Andreis Intellectual Property has always been a widely discussed topic but not as much as it is nowadays in the so-called globalized technological era that we live in. According to the World Intellectual Property organization, known as WIPO, Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind and is divided into two categories: Industrial Property, which includes patents for inventions, trademarks, industrial designs and geographical indications and Copyright that covers literary works, films, music, artistic works and architectural design. Intellectual property rights serve the same purpose as any other property rights. They allow creators, or owners, of patents, trademarks or copyrighted works to benefit exclusively, for a certain period, from their own work or investment in a creation. However, in reality maintaining the rights for such an asset as the “creation of mind” always raises multitude of complication and disputes. Therefore, the reasons behind the intellectual rights are the following: * To maintain peace and order; * To assign decision rights; * To reward investments; * To favor the diffusion of information. However, as any other type of legislation, these rights have their own pros and cons. Property rights have a major impact on economic growth. An efficient intellectual property system is essential because the legal protection of new creations encourages the commitment of both human and economic...

...Social Media in Criminal Justice Administration Analysis Leo/593 25 January 2016 The media and law enforcement really seems to have a very dysfunctional relationship. While there are many examples of where both media and law enforcement cooperate very well together, more often than not, the relationship tends to tilt to the negative side. This relationship has even gotten worse as an effect of the most recent events. The textbook says that the media’s main focus is to generate profits. With that mindset of always wanting to make money, the media will sometimes make decisions to reveal things to the general public that are not entirely true. As an effect, that could cause the public to lose respect for law enforcement. An example of this can be seen from the events that took place in Ferguson, Missouri where teen Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer and eventually led to riots in the streets. These events happened because multiple media outlets decided to tell the public details about the shooting before any actual investigation could figure out what happened. The media kept spitting out information about the incident that made the Ferguson police department look bad. The police department could not defend themselves from these accusations because they could not give out any information about an ongoing investigation. Furthermore, the rise of technological advancements like social media outlets, i.e. Facebook and Twitter, are potential dangers that are beyond...

The men were given the ability to use plows and types of transportation such as bikes and automobiles (White 2003), while the women were forced to work by hand and carry everything to and fro. Women prepared themselves for acts to show what was wanted including rural opposition, cultural self-rule, work movements, and spiritual and political demonstrations (Rosenstone 2006). In fairly non-violent actions in Ghana and Nigeria, women wrote letters of protest and thought-out boycotts, strikes, and exhibitions against many characteristics of colonial rule, including levies, schooling, land possession, sexual purity examinations, pre-arranged marriages, and other forms of fiscal, political, and societal power. Educated women were extremely active in urban centers where their resistance focused on "colonial attacks on the commercial...

...Executive Summary This paper provides the historical background and financial data of two of the leading information technology (IT) corporations in the United States. Going beyond their humble beginnings to the present, an analysis is made of their current financial performance. This serves to compare and contrast the differing business strategies of the two financial juggernauts. The two companies are direct competitors in the IT market place. Developing cutting edge software that is futuristic and enticing is what Apple does best. Apple has the ability to offer a diverse product line that caters to a wide variety of consumers, especially tech savvy earlier adapters. Dell’s marketing approach is to create a product line that is affordable and easily used by the general computing public. Audit reports, ratios, cash flows and income statements are analyzed to gain a clearer picture of which marketing strategy is proving to be the more successful. Corporate Histories and Strategies: In 1976, high school friends Steven Jobs and Stephen Wozniak shared a common love and interest in electronics. In their early stages, Apple I & II were designed as a hobby. Apple I was actually created in Steven’s bedroom. “They would showcase the computers at the Homebrew Computer Club (of which they were members) as a demonstration (Apple Museum, 2011)”. The highlights were the video screens, and the fact that it used few chips...

...Timber Industry Economic Profile Following is a discussion of the timber industry including how several economic factors affect it, including: price elasticity of supply and demand; positive and negative externalities; wage inequality; and monetary and fiscal policies. Price Elasticity Important to note is that the timber industry and the lumber industry are not one in the same and experience differences price elasticity. The price elasticity of demand for the timber industry is inelastic. Often landowners will hold inventory to sell at a later date if demand is low. The timber will not lose value in storage so price does not need to change. The price elasticity of supply for the timber industry is elastic, as prices typically increase in the spring due to low volume of timber as a result of winter weather. Possible Negative Externalities Recreational and Commercial Fishing: Corporations may elect not to harvest timber and lose earnings if timber harvesting damages the fish habitat. Water Pollution: If timber harvesting pollutes the public water system, costs may be incurred in the remunerations effort. Risk of Flooding: Increased runoff my decrease sewer capacity costing taxpayers additional money to repair the damage. Water-Quality Reduction: If timber harvesting decreases the quality of water, other companies that use the water to cool or clean their equipment or products may suffer damages. Possible Positive Externalities Recreational Opportunities:...

...Course Name: HND in Hospitality Management Food and Beverage Operations Management (Unit5 Student Name: Emilia Panzo Submitted to: Margaret Amankwah Nelson College London Wembley Campus, London Task1 1.1characteristics of food production and beverage service systems Food Production Methods Food production methods in the catering industry evolved over a period of time when there was an great quantity of labour. The design of the established kitchen, first introduced into the UK in the latter half of the nineteenth century, grew up around the division of tasks into parties (comparable tasks with numerous foods were carried out by a particular group of people). This was the progress of the parties system. The rigid demarcation between the sections meant that the staffing ratio was high in comparison with the number of meals served. During the first half of the twentieth century there was little or no technical change in the kitchens of hotels and restaurants. Most managers and chefs had been trained in the old traditional methods which gave reasonably satisfactory results, and to them there seemed little reason to change. It is only during the last forty years that changes in the old traditional methods have evolved. These changes were slow to appear and started in the manufacturing industry rather than in the kitchens of hotels and restaurants. Technical research was done...

...Hacking Describe a negative aspect of ICT’s impact on the information society. Describe how ICT has brought this about and what society is has done in response to it. Abstract Hacking has been and still disease different societies suffer from. The essay aims to provide the reader with knowledge regarding the effects hacking caused to our society, and how the society responded and tried to solve or minimize those effects. Different issues regarding hacking are discussed, such as the motivations that were behind guiding hackers who were at first computer professional to perform unauthorized activities, at the same time a discussion about the types of attacks can be found. The society response to hacking attacks lacks till this moment the ability to stop or completely prevent attacks from happening because as long as security tools are developed, more sophisticated hacking attacks are invented. That’s why we should start to think about hacker’s psychology as the main way to prevent and stop attacks by understanding their needs or desires. Introduction The Oxford English Dictionary defines hacking as “cut or chop roughly; mangle: cut (one’s way)”… to its present definition as “gain unauthorized access (to data in a computer)”. Banks (1997:11) defines hacking as “something that boring mainframe computer operators did to improve performance and battle boredom.” Here banks focuses on boredom as the reason of hacking. A more technical definition of hacking according...

...Anti-trust Policy in the Modern Economy Microsoft's Anti-trust Case Mark Hinman UCCS Baud 5590 Anti-trust Policy in the Modern Economy Microsoft's Anti-trust Case This paper's intention is to discuss the role of anti-trust legislation in the modern economy. To accomplish this, we will be reviewing the United States Government's anti-trust case against Microsoft that began nearly twenty-two years ago. To begin we will look at the history leading up to the filing, the government's argument, Microsoft's argument, and the outcome of the case. We will also look at the intent of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Specifically, how does the Sherman Anti-Trust Act protect consumers? Finally, we will discuss whether the anti-trust legislation actually accomplishes what it is intended to do, with respect to the technology industry. Microsoft has been under constant scrutiny since June 1990 when the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) launched a probe into the possible collusion between Microsoft and IBM. Three years later, the FTC handed over their investigation to the U.S. Department of Justice. After years of accusations for monopolizing and engaging in anti-competitive acts, Microsoft finally, on May 18, 1998, received a suit for violation of federal anti-trust laws.[i] The suit alleges that Microsoft is in violation of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and seeks to prohibit Microsoft from selling certain products and engaging in certain sales...
