Laptops
Technology is the in-thing in the current world. All sectors and institutions that exist rely on technology and technological advances. Since the invention and incorporation of computers by the for-father of the computer era, several progressive steps have been achieved towards enhancing the quality of these computers. The initial and founding machines are renowned worldwide for their extremely large sizes. The first computers being as large as to occupy more than a standard room space. Continued improvements and studies into more efficient and effective technology re-sized these magnanimously large machines into the current small sized desktops and stand-alone (Howard, 2009).
The technological progression did not, however, stop there. The advent of the technological era in the early 1960s saw the designing of the first, smallest and more portable machines that later came to be called laptops (Chambers, 2008). The name laptop originated from the fact that these devices are mostly placed….

Ideal Classroom
The ideal school in the modern era of global education evokes dynamic and progressive thought to what exactly enables a student population to excel and succeed in life's endeavors. Truly, this is central to any discussion regarding educational reformation via school and classroom development. The critical component to these decisions is inherent to the leadership at the school to understand that, according to Cause & Chen, "the children's active use of technology in making decisions, technology resources in writing and drawing, and logical thinking programs to solve problems and illustrate ideas." (Cause, Chen, 2010)
The ideal school will therefore target the way young children learn and teach accordingly. According to Cause & Chen, an appropriate method to educate the young is to "offer pictures and sounds to support the natural ways that young children learn." (Cause, Chen, 2010) The importance of vision in this area….
This specialized computer is constructed specifically with the developing world in mind; high amounts of heat, humidity, dust, and the ability to be multilingual. The XO laptop is "extremely durable, brilliantly functional, energy-efficient, responsive, and fun."
The outcome was a laptop that was the size of a small textbook and weighed between 1.45 to 1.58Kg, costs between $180 to $240, could be powered by generator or solar power and even a hand crank, and contained many interactive hardware and software features such as a convertible screen, WIFI, and video camera that allowed the students to explore writing, drawing, and visual passions. Most important of all, the XO was built to withstand rough treatment and has expected life span of 5 years.
lthough many of the areas that the organization has focused on are located in rural and undeveloped areas, they have managed to establish wireless connectivity on the laptops. This allows….

Laptop Per Child
The OLPC project will go a long way in boosting the education and awareness levels of school-going children, not only in America, but in the world over. The project seeks to equip each such child with a specially designed, connected XO laptop computer, through which the learner is able to access learning materials, as well as connect and share with children in other parts of the world, in this fast-paced digital era (One Laptop per Child, 2013).
The XO laptop is fitted with cloud computing-enabled software and other computer-based tools, through which the user can easily access homework, text books and other learning materials online (One Laptop per Child, 2013). This will tremendously expand the reading and writing skills, as well as knowledge of these children, especially in the most underdeveloped of economies, where such crucial material would be costly and difficult to access. In this way, even….
Laptop Per Child
hy are Microsoft, Intel, and other leading for-profit companies interested in low-cost computers for the developing world?
For-profit companies such as Microsoft and Intel jumped on the bandwagon created by the interest expressed in Nicolas Negroponte's non-profit effort with the XO. Companies have become increasingly aware that consumers show a preference to those that are socially responsive citizens that give to good causes. They viewed this as an opportunity to share the spotlight and make a profit with what would appear a philanthropic deed by the two companies collaborating on an alternative to the XO that would have more features and capabilities than the XO. OLPC's original core mission was to "foster collaborative learning among school children," which could have been accomplished with their original model.
Instead of following Negropronte's initial intent where he stated, "e do not view kids as a market, but as a mission," Microsoft and….
Buying Process for a New Laptop
The influence of marketing, promotion and long-term branding on the buying process of products and services continued to be accelerated by greater use of analytics and more effective use of digital media and channels. The intent of this analysis is to evaluate how the buying process for a new laptop running Microsoft Windows 8 was completed, factoring in the effects of marketing in each stage of the process.
Analysis of the Buying Process
ecently the family laptop running Microsoft Windows Vista had a final hard disk crash that left it inoperable. Our family's problem is that the laptop is used for checking e-mails across school and personal accounts, in addition to tracking expenses and also hosting Skype sessions around the country. The problem recognition phase of the buying process is predicated on evaluating substitutes and selecting a specific alternative, often a product that represents a solution (Shiffman,….
ABSTACT OF THE DISCLOSUE
A flat, transparent cover for protecting laptop computers from damage caused by dust and other air-borne contaminants, or from liquids splashed or spilled directly onto the computer keyboard. The protective cover conforms in height and width to the corresponding dimensions of the laptop computer keyboard and is provided in a thin, flat, rectangular section, or panel, fashioned of a material such as vinyl, which is impermeable to liquids and air-borne contaminants, and which is sufficiently soft or deformable that it does not impede typing or interfere with normal laptop computer use and keyboard access when laid on top of the notebook computer keyboard.

have also been instances of finding missing persons who were trafficking
illegal drugs, leading to the break-up of drug dealing rings in
municipalities in Louisiana for example (Careless 2006). Warrant
violations are commonplace and the incidence of random stops by police
patrolman leading to arrests has also gone up significantly according to
Careless, 2006. The bottom line of the use of laptops integrated via
wireless networks to multiple national and regional databases is the fact
that police patrolman have an upper hand in dealing with potentially
violent situations, quickly gaining the upper hand on criminals who are
intent on pursuing illegal activity and harming citizens in the process.

Laptop Multitasking Hinders Classroom Learning for Both Users and Nearby Peers
This article provides many insights to some of the challenges that are faced in the modern society. Our lives are generally busier than any previous generations faced and to meet the challenges of the information age most people multitask regularly to try to keep pace. In fact, multitasking has pretty much become the norm for most individuals and this activity is generally taken for granted. The study analyzed addresses that issue by looking at how multitasking can affect not only the individual involved, but also the individuals in proximity to the multitasker in a learning environment.
"Multitasking is ingrained in our daily lives. As you read this article, you may also be attending to a text message, sipping coffee, or writing out a list of to-dos. Such a lifestyle is intended to increase efficiency; however, there are limitations to how well….
Sarah's legal adviser under the previously described scenario, there a several questions I would like to ask my client before devising any potential defenses against Barry's charge of breach of contract. According to the facts presented by both parties, on Wednesday a conversation took place to negotiate the terms of a potential sale, with ownership of a refurbished laptop being transferred to Barry in exchange for $1,000 payment. On Wednesday, Sarah also informed Barry that her asking price was firm, and as a courtesy she also offered to withhold sale of the laptop until the end of the week if he was still interested. This proviso is central to Barry's eventual claim that a contract has been breached, because in his view this offer to reserve the laptop until Friday night at the very earliest was extended by Sarah and duly accepted by Barry, an agreement which would represent….

Next, firewalls capable of blocking IP addresses need to be installed and used (Becker, Clement, 2006). The focus on these efforts is just the first phase; there needs to be a monthly audit of IP addresses in the departments where P2P file sharing has occurred to make sure it isn't happening again. This an be accomplished using a series of constraint-based configuration tools that will trap on P2P known client footprints or digital signatures and immediately block them (Hosein, Tsiavos, Whitley, 2003). This technology will also work to isolate any inside IP addresses which attempt to reach P2P client-based download sites and immediately log and block all IP activity for the address. This will make a given IP address inoperable and immediately delete it, which will make any subsequent hacking attempts of the system useless. This is precisely the strategy the U.S. Government is using today to ensure a….
