microsoft OS and office applications dominate the PC software market?

what are some advantages or disadvantages associated with most everyone running the same operating system and applications programs??

if i went to a less than stellar school does it matter if my degree was difficult and in high demand?

i went to the university of houston, and just graduated this semester in computer science. i also have an associates degree from ITT tech. U of H is not really known as being a top tier school, but does that matter since Computer Science is such a hard major, plus the job market for IT and software people is so high. do tech employers care where you went to school?

Should I get an Associates or Masters Degree in Health Administration?

Hi Guys,
I hope you can help me out on this. Qualified people working in the healthcare field are free to tell it as it is too!

I just finished up an MBA and a Masters in Strategic Marketing, but am moving back to the States next year because as a native English speaker in France (husband is French—but he can make the move with me as he works in software) since 3 years despite my qualifications, I just couldn’t advance in my career—after a year and a half I finally landed a position as an intern, but with no job offer in sight

I am aiming to get into the health care sector as it looks promising in terms of careers and career progression. So should I go ahead and do a Masters in Health Administration or just do an Associates since I already have general business competencies? I’ve read that the industry is pretty competitive and that a Masters in Health related studies only qualifies you for an entry level position –which is fine by me! I just want to start working again! Am willing to pay my dues!

I would be doing it online from University of Phoenix(expensive!!!) while I hopefully will have a small job in NY or NJ to pay my bills and my tuition (per credit of course!!)

Do people in the field take an Associates degree seriously? Position I am aiming for first before climbing my way up: Assistant Administrator.

Thanks for your help!

am I ready to apply for a entry level software programmer?

Hello,

little small background, i am network engineer, been doing it for 5+ years, but my passion/hobby is really programming, i have used and learned quite well C# including additional things like wpf etc. I have an associates degree in computer science mainly in the programming classes, below are the following skills i know from novice to intermediate:
LINQ to SQL
XML to C#
little on WPF
knowledge of C#
learning C# networking

from what you seen above, and the skills i have including degree, could i try and apply for an Entry level programming position? or is there something else i should learn? currently right now as said i am learning C# networking and XNA to make games, thought that would be a plus, what do you all think? any and all input especially software developers and Sr. software developers already in the market or are employed.

Also can you give me examples of interview questions they might ask?

thanks in advance

Subject: Communication and Social Media
Did you know that there is a market of over 1 billion people that hasn’t been touched by our company? That market includes social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. These networks have been cashing in on small business advertising. Our clients would benefit greatly if they could learn how to use these networks as a personal billboard for their business. If we can train our employees and clients about this multi-billion dollar industry, our company could see a 35 percent increase in revenue.
Social networking is the biggest thing on the internet. According to Facebook.com, people spend over 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook alone. In order to get access to these networks, we need to train our employees and clients on these social networks. As we usually train small- and medium-size business, if we implemented this course we could see a huge increase in customers. We already have an expert in this field, Mrs. Susan Serrano. She has the knowledge and teaching abilities needed to teach our employees and clients about this lucrative business.
In order to help our customers and elevate our revenue, we need to make an investment. We would need to expect to pay up to $10,000 for Susan to design a full course on social networks. Although this may seem like a lot of money, it’s a small figure when compared to the expected revenue increases that we would see in the immediate future.
Susan would need to develop an eight-hour course on “Communication and Social Media.” The course would include coverage of such things as social networks, the most effective ways of advertising through social networks, and how to help increase your company’s good will through social networks. This will be a very in-depth course, and Susan will need a lot of time to prepare it.
This opportunity won’t last long, and we must take the initiative today before someone else steals this lucrative industry out of our hands. Please call me at (541) 975-3*** and we can start the process of implementing this new course. I look forward to your call.

what is your opinion?

The internet is not just an interactive media, it’s an interpersonal media. In the 1950’s we went from a pack of gum with a baseball card to a pack of baseball cards with a stick of gum. Baseball cards were more social medium.

This is an essay question in which i have to discuss their implications to online marketing and e-Commerce

All thoughts and oppions are appreciated

thanks

Can you please summarise this article and give your opinion?

This is the article:

The Scottish tourism industry will be “dead in the water” without embracing new technologies.
The warning came from Alan Rankin, chief executive of the Aviemore and Cairngorms Destination Management Organisation, ahead of Tourism Innovation Day, on February 28 in Glasgow.
Rankin, former chief executive of the Scottish Tourism Forum, spoke out following results of a Scottish tourism survey carried out by Highland Business Research for Tourism Innovation Day, which showed that 59% of companies felt that they could do better in terms of embracing technology.
He said: “The tourism industry will be dead in the water unless it adopts the opportunities presented by new technologies.”
Many of the companies surveyed, which included accommodation businesses and tourist and visitor attractions in Scotland, cited similar themes when asked about their biggest technology challenges.
These included securing funding to develop and increase the use of technology; not having broadband available in their area; being able to update their website regularly; the cost of promoting a small business on the web and staying on top of changing technology and trends such as the growth in use of rich media and Web2.0.
Rankin questioned whether Scotland will be able to meet the challenge as quickly as emerging markets.
“In the global market, having your website configured for the mobile phone, will become a necessity,” he said.
“For a lot of people in the Asian economies, the phone is a more important internet mechanism than the computer. This will become increasingly true of the developed markets.
“Yet in some of our key rural tourism areas in Scotland, we don’t have the mobile technology infrastructure in place – a major obstacle to overcome. Some areas do not even have broadband available.”
In the Scottish tourism survey, 94% of respondents have not offered mobile travel applications for customers and 96% did not have a version of their website for the mobile phone.
Respondents were aware of the importance of social networking sites as a promotional channel, but only 17% of respondents had used such sites for promoting their businesses.
Rankin warned that using social networking comes with its own sets of problems.
“Such sites can pose challenges in terms of controlling the messages and should a company receive online criticism, it is there for the whole world to see. Companies therefore need to either get their service right in the first place,” he said.
Tourism Innovation Day, which is organised by the Tourism Innovation Group with Scottish Enterprise, has been designed to inspire and equip Scottish tourism organisations to apply technology, and develop innovative new products and services.
Sue Crossman, project director for TiG, said, “The percentage of global hotel bookings made online for the first quarter of 2007 was almost double that of the same period last year.
“Internet bookings accounted for 41.2% of total CRS bookings in major hotels chains throughout the world, up from 22% in 2006.
“One third of all bookings during the first quarter of 2007 came through hotels’ own websites.
“With the ever increasing use of the web coupled with mobile phone advances, new technology will let the customer source better deals, and will raise their expectations in terms of receiving more customised tourist information.”
She challenged businesses of all sizes to raise their game in exploiting new technology, calling for “effective digital portals” to be set up for all of Scotland’s main tourist destinations.
The portals could use technology similar to popular social networking sites such as Bebo and Facebook, and allow visitors to post comments, pictures or videos about their personal experience of any location or service.
Crossman claimed such sites would boost online bookings and help visitors find out more about the quality and variety of tourism experiences on offer.
Digital portals would encourage smaller business, such as individual bed and breakfasts, that are still not confident about what the new technology can do for them, to work together to promote themselves and their location.
She said: “Some companies are missing out on the available technology and that is not helping our global competitiveness.
“There are now cost-effective ways for any accommodation business to offer online bookings; this is a must going forward. New technology, including the kind that allows you to post user-generated content on the web, is very exciting and should be helping destinations get their messages out there effectively.”
Tourism Innovation Day includes keynote speaker, Ben Vinod, chief innovator at Sabre Holdings, the company behind Lastminute.com.

Analysis on Political Philosophies Quiz Results?

I did a Political Quiz at self-gov.org and I answered as follow:

Personal Issues
Disagree Maybe Agree

Government should not censor speech, press, media, or internet. -Maybe-

Military service should be voluntary. There should be no draft. -Disagree-

There should be no laws regarding sex for consenting adults. -Maybe-

Repeal laws prohibiting adult possession and use of drugs. -Disagree-

There should be no National ID card. -Disagree-

Economic Issues
Disagree Maybe Agree

End “corporate welfare.” No government handouts to business. -Maybe-

End government barriers to international free trade. -Disagree-

Let people control their own retirement; privatize Social Security. -Agree-

Replace government welfare with private charity. -maybe-

Cut taxes and government spending by 50% or more. -Agree-

And the results were as follow:

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 20%

Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 60%

According to your answers, the political group that agrees with you most is… Conservative

Conservatives tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates “traditional values.” They oppose excessive government control of business, while endorsing government action to defend morality and the traditional family structure. Conservatives usually support a strong military, oppose bureaucracy and high taxes, favor a free-market economy, and endorse strong law enforcement.

if you was me, and had the results above, then
How would you read and analysis my results comparing them to the answers I got?
Also how would you compare the Conservatives to the other Political Philosophies -Explained below-?

Political Philosophies:

Left (Liberal)

Liberals usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded “safety net” to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.
Libertarian

Libertarians support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.
Centrist

Centrist espouse a “middle ground” regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice. Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind, tend to oppose “political extremes,” and emphasize what they describe as “practical” solutions to problems.
Right (Conservative)

Conservatives tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates “traditional values.” They oppose excessive government control of business, while endorsing government action to defend morality and the traditional family structure. Conservatives usually support a strong military, oppose bureaucracy and high taxes, favor a free-market economy, and endorse strong law enforcement.
Statists (Big Government)

Statists want government to have a great deal of power over the economy and individual behavior. They frequently doubt whether economic liberty and individual freedom are practical options in today’s world. Statists tend to distrust the free market, support high taxes and centralized planning of the economy, oppose diverse lifestyles, and question the importance of civil liberties.

Explain your thoughts as much as you can. Try to give detailed answers.
**Please accurate answers, try not to go off-topic.

Many Thanks!!

Guyss, HELLPPP PLEASEE!!! I need to paraphrase this passage 4 my final project?? plz take a look?

The Danish cartoon crisis was about a media publication and its development and consequences would be unthinkable without media coverage and mediated communication. Media communication was and is probably the most important aspect of the crisis: It all started with the Danish media debate about Islam-critical self-censorship and the publication of the cartoons in Jyllands-Posten. It continued with the reprint of
the cartoons in other media and media reports about the protests against the cartoons. It continued further with mediated statements from many governments, organizations, and individuals issuing their stance on the cartoons or the protests. Both the boycott of Danish products in the Middle East and the ‘Buy Danish’-campaigns in Western countries relied
heavily on mediated communication – both mass media reports and the use of digital media, such as sms, the internet and cell phones. (Roy Langer, paths to discourage analysis of a sensitive research topic: The case of the Danish cartoon crisis)
This study looks at the extensive coverage of the Danish cartoon controversy on the web pages of the two leading Arabic satellite TV stations, al-Arabiya and al-Jazeera, to examine the reemerging thesis of “clash of civilizations” and rising anti Americanism on Arabic media. The analysis identifies “transgression” as an overarching frame, but finds less support for a dominant “clash of civilizations” frame in Arab media. The media coverage appears to “legitimize” Muslims’ reactions to the publication of Prophet Muhammad cartoons, without abetting the “clash” thesis as some have proposed. (Aziz Douai, Tales of Transgression of clashing paradigms: The Danish cartoon controversy and Arab Media, spring, 2007)
Many of Australia’s 281,578 Muslims — 1.5 per cent of the total population (Australian Bureau of Statistics) — believe that as a result of media bias, they are vilified in society as “terrorists”, and discriminated in the workplace (Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission; Dreher 13; Kabir 266-277). The ABS figures support their claim of discrimination in the workplace; in 1996 the unemployment rate for Muslim Australians was 25 per cent, compared to 9 per cent for the national total. In 2001, it was reduced to 18.5 per cent, compared to 6.8 per cent for the national total, but the ratio of underprivileged positions in the labour market remained almost three times higher than for the wider community. Instead of reflecting on Muslims’ labour market issues or highlighting the social issues confronting Muslims since 9/11, some Australian media, in the name of “free speech”, reinforce negative perceptions of Muslims through images, cartoons and headlines. (No author, Depiction of Muslims in selected Australian Media (Free speech or taking sides)
