Not anymore. Over the past couple of years mac users must have become aware of the increasing volume of malicious soft wares floating around that can easily affect all Mac os devices. The sense of security has somewhat started to fade away. With a problem comes its solution. On this occasion the solution was somewhat adopted from the windows camp in the shape of various anti-virus and system maintenance applications. Along with a host of newcomers, a lot of renowned windows software development houses like Norton and Kaspersky have begun shunning out maintenance apps for Mac os. One of these applications is the new Mackeeper for Mac. It promises to outdo its competitors in both performance and bang for buck. Suddenly the playing field has gotten a bit too crowded, and the decision making process for an average Mac user that much difficult. The article will try and delve into some of the main issues that plague the Mac os and will try to determine if either Mackeeper or one of the other soft wares provides the best solution both in the long and short term. Virus protection: There are three major opponents in this category Mackeeper, Norton and Kaspersky. Mackeeper comes out on top in this battle due to its ability to scan and combat both windows and Mac viruses and Trojans. Also subscriptions...

In Hollywood’s depicture of real life organizations this type of flashy brand new equipment is expected. Forensic scientists are rarely actually involved in solving cases, as the show depicts. A team of scientists is usually called out once a month to a crime scene to investigate fingerprints, firearms, trace evidence, document blood splatter patterns, collect footprints and tire prints, footwear patterns, and other evidence. My uncle said, “Forensic scientists rarely go to most crime scenes, let alone are on the scene moments after a crime was committed.” Yet, no sooner after the intro music we end up seeing Lieutenant Horatio Caine on the crime scene as the body is being extracted and to top it off the father is on the scene with a typical group of people trying to see the body. Then we see the coroner Dr. Alexx Woods was only wearing gloves. She should have been...

Its restless sequence of rapidly-maturing artistic styles reveal something of Minoan patrons' pleasure in novelty while they assist archaeologists assign relative dates to the strata of their sites. Pots that contained oils and ointments, exported from 18th century BC Crete, have been found at sites through the Aegean islands and mainland Greece, onCyprus, along the coastal Syria and in Egypt, showing the wide trading contacts of the Minoans. The extremely fine palace pottery called Kamares ware, and the Late Minoan all-over patterned "Marine style" are the high points of the Minoan pottery tradition. Greek Vase Painting There are two main styles in Greek vase painting – black figure and red figure. Mostly before about 530 BC people painted in black figure, and after that time people gradually began to paint in red figure. Mayan Vase Painting, Mexico Mayan vase paintings are more akin to the art of the modern period than the art of any other pre-modern people.

What all an organization needs to be a leader in the market is information. Information can be available in large forms like web resources, text data, graphs and statistics. The more information a firm has the more powerful it is getting on. Firms need to assess the future market condition with the available previous and present data so as to be a leader. The major goal of Business Intelligence is to dwell in all the available information, refine it and organize it in such a way that right information is passed to right people through the right way. Now, data can be in vast amounts, of which some might be useful and some might not be useful. Business intelligence tools like reporting, online analytical processing, analytics, data mining, process mining, complex event processing, business performance management...

...rather than using softwares like these because at the end students will follow the path that will guarantee them a better grade .Nowadays, most universities became very reliable on those plagiarism detectors for one reason, academic integrity, but what they do not know is that they use them for the wrong purposes. Professors have become so dependent on these softwares to the extent where they do not even bother to go through the students’ work once it is said to be plagiarized. They just directly give them a low grade. But what if the student had weaknesses like grammatical or structural errors? How will they ever learn from their mistakes and try to improve to be the best they can be in order to feel like they do not need the internet’s help anymore? All these reasons show us that students have no bad intentions like cheating but rather only caring about having good grades and have their teacher’s approval. Even though these plagiarism detectors were able to get all of this recognition, they started causing some conflicts. It was very unfair to students at times. Turnitin started pointing out material as plagiarized when in fact it is really not. Even if these detectors mark material as plagiarized, this is not an indicator that it should be because when it identifies this specific material as stolen, it is usually pointing out a possible act or an attempt of plagiarism. Since professors were overly reliable on those soft wares, it was hard for students to prove their innocence...

...employing other techniques to hide expenses or losses; shifting current income to a later period and shifting future expenses to an earlier period. Recording Revenue Too Soon In order to shift revenue or gains in future-period to current period or to oversize bonuses and stock options, management may shift revenues or gains from future period to current period through recording revenue before completing any obligations under the contract; recording revenue far in excess of work completed on the contract; recording revenue before the buyer’s final acceptance of the product or recording revenue when the buyer’s payment remains uncertain or unnecessary. To mitigate the risk of such misrepresentation, investors should ware some warning signs of shenanigans: extended end date, sharp jump in accounts receivable, especially long-term and unbilled ones, using percentage-of-completion accounting or aggressive assumptions, inappropriately low discount rate, premature revenue recognition policy, Inappropriate use of mark-to-market or bill-and-hold accounting, consignment arrangements, incorrect shipping or liberalizing customer collection terms.

...What is Sales? Sales is what you do and say during the one moment your product or service is being purchased. It's confirming the payment options. Sales is a one time process (means just selling the product to the customer). It's converting an inquiry or lead into a contract or shipment. Sales is not market research, business development or advertising. Pre-sales, Sales and Post-sales Pre-sales is a process or a set of activities normally carried out before a customer is acquired, though sometimes pre-sales also extends into the period the product or service is delivered to the customer. The task of a pre-sales person starts from the initial contact phase and often ends once the customer is acquired i.e. sale is made. The Pre-Sales Activities can be broken into two areas, planning and preparing for the call. Planning, in the Pre-Sales Activities, can include Prospect/Customer identification, Product/research/customer analysis review, competitor/industry research, creating a call strategy, evaluation of your products and services relative to the competition. To prepare is to put together or make by combining various elements or ingredients. Write an objective, determine the processes you will use to achieve those objectives, set quantifiable goals for each objective and practice for the call. Sales Activities are the execution of all your hard work planning and preparing. These activities may include the sales call/meeting, negotiation or follow-up, closing the deal/order...

...WEEK 9 Assignment 4 Submitted by: COMP INTERACTION AND DESIGN PROFESSOR MOSES COWAN 8/30/2014 Using technology in any field often causes side effects, strong, emotional states, which arise during computer interactions often, due to the installed applications of the computer. These applications, which initially evolve with a motive of satisfying some user requirements or pre-existing shortcoming of some other applications not only affect the need completion or interaction itself, but also the cause personal discontent and unintentional humility. In computing and information technology, user frustration is a persistent problem arising due to varied masses of users and ambience, workplace, differences. The quality of user experience and feedback is of utmost importance of success for any application. In this paper, we identify reasons for user frustrations and with special emphasis to disabled population suggest ways for better serving theses masses. Average users lose time due to frustrating experiences range from around 31% to approximately 46% of the time they spend on computers and mobile. Hence, we need to develop nomenclature of frustrating experiences, describe methods to identify user experiences as natural ones or due to poor system design and find ways to solve them. Computers and mobiles have beneficial impacts but also cause much unintentional dissatisfaction among the users because of many reasons, exasperation of losing unsaved work in case of a crash,...

...1 A- Case Summary Apple was by two college drop out students: Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs with the motto of “Think Differently”. In the early 1980s, Steve Wozniak left the company and Steve Jobs hired John Sculley as the President of the company. After facing many failures, Apple launched its Macintosh computers for house hold users. In mid 1980s, Steve Jobs had to leave the company because of his controversial relations with the president. At that time John Sculley rejected the offer of Microsoft‘s CEO, Bill Gates to license the Macintosh operating system to Microsoft. After this refusal, Gates developed DOS operating system and in late 1980s, the competition between DOS and Macintosh decreased Apple’s sale, workforce and resignation of John Sculley. So, Apple’s current CEO planned to purchase NextStep operating system of Jobs in order to improve the Macintosh operating system. In late 90s Jobs again became the CEO of the company and be started surprising relations with Microsoft by developing a Macintosh version of office software. Apple also took cost saving measures like streamlining the product line, production of printers. Steve Jobs brought Apples’ focus on two concepts of consumer series with the prefix “I” for internet like iMac, iBook laptop and professional with prefix “power” such as PowerMac desktop and PowerBook laptop series. Under Jobs, Apple again becomes the innovator of computer market. His leadership leads the company to USB and Firewire ports, introduction...

...MANAGERIAL RESPONSE TO THREATS Threat of new entrants Barriers to entry: It is very common that the existing company in a industry will set the barrier to the new entrants. Because these new entrants might become the strong potential competitors in the future and take away large profit from the existing company. For these new entrants, they will carry out pretty attractive competition and use better financial strength to seize current and potential market.

I will discuss other enter barriers. Product differentiation One of the most important factors to determine whether a business can be successful is whether they have the compared advantages. It is very important to use the differentiation strategy to make your products known by the customers. Products that easy to remember and recognize by the customers are different from others. This difference can be the service of the company, the high quality, the name of brand. All of these characteristics will set up the customers loyalty in the market. Under the advantage of differentiation strategy, even though the new entrants maybe try their best to attract the customers with lower prices or other things, they may still suffer a loss in profit because the loyalty of the customers.
