...Technology Overview New mobile computing devices are flooding the market with a dramatic demand for access to the internet. With Wireless Fidelity, or Wi-Fi, exploding in popularity, companies and even some whole localities are increasingly providing access to the public. Due to its popularity, varieties of businesses are exploring their options to stay relevant and attract customers. Airports, train stations, grocery stores and other public locations are offering free Wi-Fi in hopes to lure the consumer to purchase their products. Free public Wi-Fi facilitates a lengthier customer relationship and offers a competitive advantage against other local coffee shops offering the same consumables. The accessibility that retail companies have offered to their customers allows for easy and convenient access to the internet. Background Information Wi-Fi is radio-wave technology known as IEEE 802.11b. Wi-Fi has an inexpensive installation and runs with speeds up to 11Mbps. An existing local area network, LAN, needs to exist to install wireless access points. The advantages are the mobility it allows, ability for multiple devices to quickly access with or without authenticating, higher speeds than wired access, and installation costs. The disadvantages include the need for multiple wireless access points to increase signal strength in large areas, narrow area of space that the wireless signal reaches, connection hiccups and the weak security points of having a public network. There...

...Apple Innovation, Technology Gregory Bourque Averett University Management Strategy BSA 444 Mike Jernigan PhD September 20, 2011 Apple Innovation, Technology Since its birth in 1976, Apple has remained a forerunner in innovation and technology with a temptation that enthusiasts can hardly resist. From iMacs to iPads, this 35-year-old company has repeatedly created consumer frenzies with elegant innovative products. As they ramp up the next buzz over the new iPad 3, scheduled to hit the market in early 2012, we look at the last decade to unveil the brilliance that catapulted Apple back to the forefront. By the late 1990’s Apple’s initial pathway to growth was running out of steam. The company’s proprietary approach to designing both hardware and software limited it to being a niche player and hampered its ability to compete. In 2001, Apple began introducing a series of successful new products and services. The iPod, iTunes, and iPhone, propelled the company to the top of the industry. However, the shift was not only a matter of product innovation but thinking differently and saying no to 1000 things. Apple’s real success came from its ability to define a workable business model for downloading digital music. The combination of product innovation and business model innovation put Apple at the center of the market. (The Innovators, V. O., 2004) Before the iPod, there was the Sony Walkman. Do you remember those days? In 2001, there were other MP3 players emerging with...

...It means screwing up your phone software so badly that your phone can no longer function properly and is pretty much as useless as a brick. I do not in any way recommend anyone to root their Android device. This article is simply to introduce you to the subject of rooting and present you with both the pro’s and con’s so that you can make an educated decision on your own. *What is Rooting?* “Rooting” your device means obtaining “superuser” rights and permissions to your Android’s software. With these elevated user privileges, you gain the ability to load custom software (ROM’s), install custom themes, increase performance, increase battery life, and the ability to install software that would otherwise cost extra money (ex: WiFi tethering). Rooting is essentially “hacking” your Android device. In the iPhone world, this would be the equivalent to “Jailbreaking” your phone. *Why is it called Rooting?* The term “root” comes from the Unix/Linux world and is used to describe a user who has “superuser” rights or permissions to all the files and programs in the software OS (Operating System). The root user, because they have “superuser” privileges, can essentially change or modify any of the software code on the device. You see, your phone manufacturer/carrier only gives you “guest” privileges when you purchase your device. They do this...

...how the evil twin works. "So-called 'evil twin' hotspots present a hidden danger for Web users. In essence, users think they've logged on to a wireless hotspot connection when in fact they've been tricked to connect to the attacker's unauthorized base station. The latter jams the connection to a legitimate base station by sending a stronger signal within close proximity to the wireless client -- thereby turning itself into an 'evil twin. Cybercriminals don't have to be that clever to carry out such an attack. Because wireless networks are based on radio signals they can be easily detected by unauthorized users tuning into the same frequency." The Disadvantage of Evil Twins The Evil Twins a Menace to Wireless Security > Mobile, (by Jack M German Tech News World 06/04/09). Once the wireless victim has connected to the illegitimate Wi-Fi hotspot, The Evil Twin attacker can gain access to the user’s log-on details, along with personal and confidential information that aids the attacker in identity theft and other illegal activities.

...Mobile Computing and Social Networking Arram Kadir CIS 500 08/15/2012 Health Care has taken a technological and revolutionary stand in the last few decades. With the onslaught of smart phones, wifi, various mobile technologies, social networking, and an array of data, the world has finally found a way to make online health care a real thing. “There are a lot of interesting things happening right now in the world of medicine with regard to technology. Radiology technicians have access to better imaging devices than they did in the past, and mobile computing is making it possible to send those images to doctors anywhere in the hospital — in an instant” (17 ways mobile computing is changing medicine and healthcare, 2010). Mobile computing and social networking are making things easier for the patients as well. It might have taken awhile, but technology is greatly changing our healthcare and the way we used to do things. When it comes to patient care, vital signs are on top of the list. Today, mobile technology can be used to view and account for a lot of the things we used to go into the doctors for. Some of the things that can be taken while using mobile technologies are heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar for diabetics, and oxygen levels to name a few. Years ago, individuals had to travel to their healthcare physicians to check out all of their core and vital signs. Everything used to be done by hand, through a computer, and documented...

Even though many smaller business are prospering from technology franchisors are moving to slow on incorporating technology in their franchises. In Jason Daley’s article "How Technology Is Revolutionizing the Franchise World" he quotes Tariq Farid saying, “I think franchising is an amazing model, but technology is not in the comfort zone of a lot of franchise leaders. They don’t understand that the point of technology is to make life easy so franchisees can focus on growing their business, not running their business.” (Daley). Many of this new found technology is being applied by some franchises like Buffalo wild wings, Chilies and other restaurant chains to cut the wait time on a table, and they see benefit and profit its bring the franchise. Not only can technology be applied in an existing franchise but even create a franchise just like Chris Jeffrey did with his online “Order Up” service that provided the consumer of local restaurants and there respective menus and the consumer would order it right of the “Order Up” site and they would send the amount to the restaurant with a commission fee that Jeffrey would receive.

...BRM/353 Apple iPad Air Promoted and proposed by Apple Inc., the iPad is and iOS operated line of tablet computers. The first tablet computer designed by Apple was the Newton MessagePad 100, which was announced in 1993. Apple had also established a sample PowerBook Duo based tablet, which was known as the PenLite, but chose not to retail it to prevent having an effect on the MessagePad sales. In 2007, Apple decided to re-enter the mobile-computing markets and introduced the iPhone. The iPhone is smaller in size than the iPad and features a mobile phone and a camera while also initiating the finger-sensitive multi-touch touchscreen of Apple's iOS mobile working structure. The release of the iPad had been assumed for numerous years by the end of 2009. Many rumors spoke mainly about “Apple’s tablet” and suggested names such as the iTablet. In January of 2010, Steve Jobs introduced the iPad at an Apple press conference in San Francisco (Ritchie, R. 2014, October 6). The first Apple iPad was released in April of 2010. The use of the iPad is constructed throughout the device's wide range of a touch screen, which includes a simulated keyboard. The iPad contains already installed Wi-Fi and on certain styles, a cellular connection. On a financial conference call in October of 2010, Steve Jobs stated that Apple retailed more iPads than Mac computers for the fiscal quarter. Before the actual unveiling of the iPad 2, Apple retailed more than 15 million iPads that were first-generation...
