...HOME COMPUTER ANALYSIS I did a home computer analysis on my own computer at my home. I concluded that my system is a great choice to have an upgrade or clean install to Windows 7 Ultimate. My computer is the eMachines EL1358G-51W Desktop PC Athlon II X2 220 (2.80GHz) 3GB DDR3 1TB HDD Windows 7 Home Premium. After going through everything it met all the qualifications to have a Windows Anytime Upgrade to Windows Ultimate. My computer has a 1TB hard drive with 842GB still available. It is currently running the Premium package currently with no issues to speak of, and that is under the Dual Core 64-bit version. It uses NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE with integrated video graphics card the video card supports DirectX 11. The CPU has 3GB of total memory. Using the upgrade advisor my system came back showing that it met the qualifications and is ready for upgrade to Ultimate if I was ready to do so. Just one little mishap to that was that I would have needed to pay 140 dollars to invest in that upgrade, which at this time I can’t really afford to do, but when that time comes that I am able to afford to do that I will go ahead and make the move up to the Ultimate, just so I can say I have the best of the best. Can I Upgrade After looking at the information you provided for me, I believe your company’s system can be improved with us doing a clean installation to our Windows 7 Enterprise edition. I chose this because this would be the most cost efficient for you and...

...Computer Forensics I (FOR 240-81A) Project #3 Case Background The Suni Munshani v. Signal Lake Venture Fund II, LP, et al suit is about email tampering, perjury, and fraud. On December 18, 2000, Suni Munshani (Plaintiff) filed a suit against Signal Lake Venture Fund. Mr. Munshani claimed that he was entitled to warrants in excess of $25 million dollars from Signal Lake. In February 2001, Signal Lake Venture Fund II, LP, et al. (Defendant) became privy to the court filings in this case. Within the filings there was an email provided by Mr. Munshani from Hemant Trivedi, CEO of one of the portfolio companies, stating he was indeed entitled to the warrants. Mr. Trivedi denied any knowledge of the email, or any such communication with Mr. Munshani. In an effort to prove their innocence, Signal Lake hired a computer forensic group to conduct a private investigation. The investigation did not show any evidence of the supposed email provided to the court by Mr. Munshani. Mr. Trivedi filed an affidavit stating that the email was forged, while Mr. Munshani filed an affidavit stating the email was real. In March 2001, a computer forensics expert, Kenneth R. Shear, was appointed by the court to perform a forensic examination on the questioned message (the message provided by Mr. Munshani) and the comparative message (a second message from Mr. Trivedi found on Mr. Munshani’s computer). Mr. Shear worked for a company called Electronic Evidence Discovery, Inc. (EED). Mr. Shear’s forensic...

...Project 1 Case Analysis CCJS321 The two cases I have chosen to analyze for Project One is the Max Ray Butler aka “Iceman” cybercrime case and the Albert Gonzalez cybercrime case. I have chosen these two cases because they both had significant impact on the computer forensics field. Both of these cybercrimes are similar in nature because both deal in credit card and identity theft on the grandest scale. Max Ray Butler and Albert Gonzalez were brought to justice after many years of a cyber-forensic investigation that went through a network of multiple U.S. agencies; including the FBI, US Secret Service and US-CERT (United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team) a Department of Homeland Security who were all networked together at the National Computer Forensic Training Academy in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Both of these men were given the longest prison sentences ever handed out by a judge for computer crimes of their notoriety and magnitude. Finally, they both set a blue print for digital forensic investigators of the proper procedures to follow in order to capture future want-to-be crime lords. Max Butler aka “Iceman” was a white-hat hacker that went rogue. His story is that, “he was a good hacker hired by the government to test the security of one of their websites, while doing that job he installed a backdoor to their system that would allow him to come in later so he could make some fixes to the system on his own time. Well of course this second part of the...

...competition in an industry depends on five basic forces: new entrants, suppliers, buyers, substitutes, and industry competitors. In this paper, I analyzed the competition in the personal computer (PC) industry using Porter's Five-Force Analysis. 1. Buyers (strong) Buyers of personal computers are businesses, governments, educational institutions, and individuals. Large businesses, governments, and schools, which buy computers in large volumes, have the power to bargain on price, quality and service. Personal computer buyers are price-sensitive. However, buyers have less power when the switching costs and brand-loyalties are high. Thus, PC manufacturers can reduce a threat of buyer power by differentiating their products. An example is Apple Computer. Apple's unique operation system and its computers specifically targeted to publishing and designing industry prevent their buyers from switching to competitors' products. Its sleek product design represented by iMac and iBook also acquired many fans and increased brand-loyalty. But, despite several ways in which manufacturers have differentiated their products and found ways to increase switching costs, customers still see units as very similar and thus choose primarily on price. 2. Suppliers (Moderate) Components for manufacturing personal computers are the microprocessor, motherboard, memory storage, and peripherals such as monitor, keyboard, or mouse, along with bundled software. Most of the components are highly standardized...

...How Computers Change the Way We Think How Computers Change the Way We Think is an article by Sherry Turkle which explains the changes in thinking that are often brought up by the use of computers. Turkle realizes through her own experiences and observations of the world around her that there are significant psychological consequences to having computers in our lives. Sherry Turkle is a MIT professor that has a BA in Social Studies and also a Ph.D. in Sociology and Personality Psychology which she obtained at Harvard University.

...Unit 1 - Assignment 1 - Home Computer Analysis Fortunately my home computer is already running Windows 7 ultimate x64 edition so there isn’t anything for me to upgrade to yet, unless windows 8 gets released soon but even then I won’t probably upgrade. My computer is home built and has an Intel E8400 3.0 Gig Dual Core processor with 4 gigs of DDR3 and 2 Terabytes of hard drive space. I’m also running an NVidia GTX 560 TI overclocked video card and hooked up to a 50 Mbps cable modem. I built this computer a few years ago and I built it for gaming so it’s not top of the line anymore but more than supports any operating system you can throw at it. Let’s suppose I had windows 7 Home Premium and wished to upgrade. Luckily my computer can easily support any version of windows 7 so all I would have to do is run the Windows Anytime Upgrade and upgrade to which version I wished. Since each version is a superset of the higher version you can easily upgrade to higher versions. Also since windows 7 places the entire OS on the hard disk it isn’t an upgrade in the traditional since, it’s just a matter of activating features that are already there. If I had a 32 bit version and wished to go to a 64 bit version I wouldn’t however be able to do an anytime upgrade. When your going from different bit versions you need to do a clean install to install the whole 32 or 64 bit version. This is the only time I would need to do a clean install, if I wanted to go back to x32 for some strange reason...
