Hey Group 12,
Great presentation!
I thought that the strong points of your presentations was all of your information that you provided about the Ipod. I think that the information regarding the correlation between ipod sales and the apple stock price was awsome. I would have explained the stock price and why it fluctuated so much up and down more though. Overall, you could tell that this powerpoint was well thought out, and we enjoyed the way you presented it.
This is a really good source that you can use.

Keep up the good work,
Group 3

Overall the presentation was good. You seem to have a nice background on the information. You seem to know the differences that Vista has compared to XP. The only thing that I can suggest is maybe expanding the description of what the actual differences are. In effort to help you do this, here is a link to an article that seems to be extremely revelent to your topic:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,289431,00.html

Not only is the article relevent but there is also a video link in which you can hear a personal experience with the problems of Vista. Hopefully this can help you build on your foundation and make a successful project. Sorry about the tardiness of the post, I have been having problems posting that just got fixed yesterday. Hope this helps and good luck.

This presentation was very interesting and definitely kept my attention because search engines are so popular. The video clip was a nice presentation technique.

After going through your presentation again, you do touch on the security issues of search engines. To expand that topic, look into how Facebook is now allowing their users to be searched through Google. Is this an invasion of the privacy controls Facebook supposedly has? Here is a link to an article about the publicity of Facebook:

Check it out. Maybe it is a topic that can add to your presentation seeing that it is a new problem regarding search engines. Sorry about the late posting, I have been having trouble with my ability to post that just got fixed yesterday. Good luck.

great presentation, your outline for what you will cover in your project seems really thorough, however this seems to be a common topic amoung our class, so our suggestion would be to try and take a different approach to p2p programs than the other groups, if thats at all possible. Also, definitely have lots of statistics and facts to support your theories and statements, for example if you say that p2p programs affect the music industry have some sort of statistic to back that up.

Of course downloading music is a big deal with college students and all the information that you can present would be extremely helpful in letting us know what could happen if we illegally download and how they are planning on building onto of DRM as illegal downloading gets more and more advanced

We really liked your assignment and feel that ecommerce is quickly taking over for regular shopping not only for the ease but the quickness of shopping from home. We feel that some statistics maybe about how many auctions are on ebay a year and how much worth of goods has been sold.

Do you guys think you could help us find anything along the lines of accessory sales?
It would help us, because we could compare the revenue of merchandise sales to the revenue of hardware sales (i.e. sale of all accessories including headphones, speakers..etc.. compared to sales of actual iPod units)

I think you've got this planned out well.
another group is also doing this same thing, except, they appear to be alittle more developed than you guys, but I think it's good, because with two groups presenting, we think that the chances of learning more are greater.
anyway, I think we can help by providing some links such as:
-The laws concerning copyright: http://www.copyright.gov/
- P2P software: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/p2ppeertopeer/tp/p2pfilesharing.htm
- General P2P related articles: http://news.surfwax.com/tech/files/Limewire_tech.html
- An interesting story tying P2P with Identity Theft: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071106/ap_on_hi_te/id_theft;_ylt=A0WTUe_5XjBHCUQBRCEjtBAF

I think group 1 will argue why P2P is good as opposed to bad, so I think if you took the P.O.V of a big music company, you could make this presentation very interesting as opposed to boring, but it's your choice since you will prbly be going before G1 for the final presentation. good luck!

attractive as she is, I think Gawker Stalker made a poor choice in having her represent them in this debate.
The company she works for not only promotes false information, but it breaches privacy and exploits it, putting people at risk of harm, and further, it is mostly useless. She states that gawker usually does not lead people to the celebrities because it has a delay, which translates to "the site is actually basically useless.."

She does not do her job as an editor, and she even tries to justify her/her company's actions with the excuse that it has been going on for four years, and nothing has happened yet.. this is a poor excuse because it only means that the site has been getting away with all these misdemeanors for four years.. If a convict were loose for four years, he would still be a convict.

Privacy is something we can easily maintain. by keeping information from the web, we can protect ourselves from potential harm. Myspace and Facebook- common targets of privacy issues, both contain privacy setting to help protect individuals. As for slander, it is an inevitable effect of the free flow of information, however, it is up to editors such as Emily to keep these incidents to a minimum, but as Kimmel says, stalker.com does no editing. In these sorts of cases, I think the only thing that applies is the Golden Rule. If people want to protect themselves, they shouldn't put others in harms way.

You chose a really good topic. Everybody uses search engines very frequently, so it is very applicable to all of our lives. It was interesting to learn how a search engine works.

the video on youtube was a very nice touch, It made your presentation more visual and detailed. The pie chart also had a similar effect. You were very effective at using the different types of media.

The effects on students, society, and business were important ot talk about. You applied your topic to the world at large and that was very effective at illustrating what search engines actually do and what their roles are.
