Who was harmed by them? Which lies were most harmful? Murdoch has engaged in several cases of deception and lying. She hid her relationship with Gansman from both her supervisor and Ashley Madison confederate. When the SEC questioned her, she deceived them with false statements, and tried to erase evidence by deleting her hard drive data. Gansman has also engaged in various deception and lying. He gave insider information to Murdoch, which violated his employer's written policy on confidential information. He also signed annual statements of compliance with Ernst&Young on prohibiting non-public information. Although he did not do trading himself, he knew Murdoch was trading with the information he provided. He also lied about knowing Murdoch's trading to the government. Murdoch used Gansman's insider knowledge for financial gain in supporting her family, while Gansman manipulated his employer into inaction through keeping his actions secret, enjoying his continued employment and rewards from the relationship with Murdoch. In the end, Gansman and Murdoch lost the most, Gansman received a prison sentence, and lost his reputation. While Murdoch has not been sentenced yet, but gave up all her gains. Were the punishments for James Gansman,Donna Murdoch, and Gerald Brodsky fair? Gansman was sentenced...

...1.What lies are present in the “tangled webs” considered here? How were they used? How were they justified by those who executed them? Who was harm by them? Which lies were most harmful? According to tangled webs, lies are present as James E. Gansman, a senior partner and an attorney in the New York office of Ernst & Young, engaged in deception. He gave information to favor Murdoch’s trading and revealed an upcoming takeover to help one of Murdoch ’s children with a stock market simulation exercise. He actually knew Murdoch’s trading on confidential information he gave her but he lied that he didn’t know and rejected this accusation. Murdoch also engaged in multiple deceptions. She was using Ashley Madison website to get information that benefit her trading. She concealed her relationship with Gansman and tipped her supervisor and her father. She also lied to FBI and tried to erase her hard drive to destroy the evident. Doing these actions of Gansman might be explained as he wanted to impress Murdoch. Also, trading activity of Murdoch might probably benefit Gansman ’s operating in New York office of Ernst & Young. However, Murdoch only used Gansman’s actions for financial gain as she and her husband were in debt and struggling to make payment on a $1.45 millions home mortgage. In my opinion, both Gansman and Murdoch lost the most. Gansman received a prison sentence for one year and one day while, Murdoch received around 14 charges. 2. Were the punishments for James Gansman...

I do like that you have a quick view of the product and it shows you different sides of the product. You can click onto another link, but if you want to go back to home you have to hit the back button. Adding products to your cart is pretty simple just click on product and it adds it to your cart. I would change the way the site checks out. You have to click on my bag and it is way at the top of home page in a very small print to check out. Did not see it and I was confused for a moment. Looking at the site the designer did not use a css style. It appears to be a basic web design and a functional site. When clicking on the blog it seems to be a little busy to much is...

...and Libya. Protests seemed to have have also had profound effects in Yemen, Bahrain and Syria. Demonstrations have arisen in most other Arab states as well as Spain and Uganda. The role of social media in these uprisising has been dubbed the “Twitter revoulitons.” Does social media, really deserve all those accolades? Revoultions have been overthrowing oppressive governments long before web 2.0. Iranians in overthrew the Shah in 1979, Filipinos overthrew President Marcos in 1986, and the Communist bloc in Eastern Europe crumbled one after another in 1989. This paper will explore the phenomenon of social media nad its role in promoting and prompting progressive political change, particularly in countries with oppressive leaders. Social media has been defined as “a group of internet based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content”. (Kaplan) “Web 2.0” is the name for internet platforms which allow for interactive participation by users thereof. It may be contrasted with Web 1.0 platforms, which simply provide content to users, without giving them the opportunity to interact with or modify that information online. This content is all considered user generated content.

With our application, we offer people the gift of never having to suffer through a lonely lunch ever again, if they so wish. As students, we don’t have any fixed break times for us to have our lunch, as most students take different courses and subjects. This means that no matter how much you try to synchronise your schedule to that of your friends, you will inevitably come upon a time where you will have no available friends to share your lunch or breaks with. This scenario was the backbone of our motivation to create the Lunch Partner application. With our app, we help our customers in a few key ways. The first and most...

...According to a survey by social media consultancy Drizzlin, Vodafone is most admired by online social media users for its ads and promotions Drizzlin Media, a social media consultancy, has released the results of its survey on the most admired telecom brands based on social media conversations. According to the survey, Vodafone is the most admired telecom brand online with a score of 117.57 points. This brand was admired most for its ads and promotional messaging. In terms of products and services, BSNL Mobile is most admired. However, in terms of customer service, MTNL scored the highest while Vodafone was at the bottom of the stack. The survey also showed that despite the popularity of Facebook, only two telecom brands Tata Indicom and Vodafone are active on it. The survey monitored 10 telecom brands on six online platforms: blogs, Twitter, social networks (Facebook and Orkut), forums, YouTube and Mouthshut. About 7000 conversations were taken as a sample, of which relevant ones numbered 1631. Of the conversations where gender could be identified, 83 per cent were by men and six per cent were by women. Another revelation of the survey was that telecom companies in India are limited in their engagement of customers online. "We chose to analyse the buzz around telecom companies in India as the first of our surveys since telecom is a consumer intensive industry. Since the industry is so competitive, it becomes essential for telecom companies in India to understand what their consumers...

...With the invention of internet world has become a global village. It has become a very convenient source to send data in any form of text, voice, video, picture etc. to other a person living thousands of miles. This borderless world came with new ways for people to interact with one another.

It has its positive and negative effects on different societies. My thesis is the positive side of Social Networks. I think Social Networks have given a new voice to people living in certain societies where it has become the only true medium to express themselves to the masses. A place where everyone can be united under one cause. In a world where media might not be as free as it might seem. Social Networking websites like twitter or facebook has made it possible for the news to be written by people who are actually experiencing the event.

...MGMT340 Petrie’s Electronic Case Questions Week 5 Question 1: Using the guidelines from this chapter and other sources, evaluate the usability of the page design depicted in PE Figure 8-1. Answer: Some of the words are in a different language, which is incorrect. If you want to have, different cultures able to use the page, have a setting that switches all content from English to Spanish, or whatever other languages needed. Page should not display information randomly in different languages. I like the click to act method they have. Overall, I believe the page has limited capabilities to help most users’ interactivity. Question 2: Chapter 8 encourages the design of a help system early in the design of the human interface. How would you incorporate help into the interface as shown in PE Figure 8-1? Answer: You need to think about what the user is likely to do if they do not know something when creating a help system. The help system needs to be simple as well as easy to access. Help messages should be short, to the point and easily understood. It can show the users how do to something. I would incorporate a help by explaining to guests how to look at their point’s record. That way if a user wants to know how he or she got the points the help system you design can show the most unknowledgeable computer person easy transition to the information they are looking for. Question 3: Describe how cookie crumbs could be used in this system. Are cookie crumbs...

...started by Brad Fitzpatrick in 1999. Users could create a blog that usually served as a public diary, and then they could add people they know who also set up LiveJournal blogs as "friends." Friends' blog entries are aggregated on a single page, allowing users to see at a glance what their buddies are up to, like a proto-News Feed. The service was many people's first experience with a Web 2.0 application, and, in particular, the first for many teens. LiveJournal quickly acquired a reputation as a clearinghouse for suburban, adolescent angst - collections of lengthy, startlingly sincere lamentations of broken hearts, occasionally interspersed with awful, copied-and-pasted Dashboard Confessional lyrics and "Which 'Hey Arnold!' Character Are You?" quizzes. (I always shot for Gerald, but I'd always wind up being Eugene - or, on a good day, Mr. Hyunh. This was a source of mild consternation.) LiveJournal was, in many ways, a forerunner of much of the purportedly revolutionary social media environment we're in right now. After all, it was started before the word "blog" was even coined and before the phrase "Web 2.0" gained any sort of currency, and it predates both MySpace and Facebook by about half a decade. It was also among the first social media to receive the same flak that Facebook and Twitter catch on a regular basis now. You know the criticism: It's narcissistic. It's self-important. Nobody really cares how hilarious your cat looks when he's asleep. But I've never thought that...
