    MicrosofMicrosoftttt’’’’ss “““S“SSSCROOGLED!CROOGLED!CROOGLED!”””” campaign gains momentum Blog Post Date: February 25 th , 2013 Category: Technology made easy Author: Ulrika Hedlund Source: http://www.businessproductivity.com/ microsofts-scroogled-campaign-gains-momentum The past two weeks the media has been filled with articles about Microsoft’s “Scroogled!” campaign where they accuse Google of invading people’s privacy with their targeted email ads. In the campaign, Microsoft encourages users to switch over from Gmail to Outlook.com . By going to the campaign site www.scroogled.com , users can sign a petition addressed to Google’s Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, saying, “Please stop reading the contents of our Gmail to sell ads .” Some experts are saying that this negative campaign, very common in politics, is hurting Microsoft and that the campaign isn’t gaining traction. In this week’s article I wanted to give you a better overview of what the campaign is all about and the current momentum. An overview of ttthethehehe MicrosMicrosoftoftoftoft “““Scroogled“ScroogledScroogled!!!!”””” cccampaigncampaignampaignssss The first phase of the “Scroogled!” campaign was launched at the end of 2012 . The advertisements warned holiday shoppers that searching for products on Google Shopping would not give you true results – instead of giving you the most relevant search results, Google’s “pay-to-rank” practice would return products based on which advertiser paid Google the most. Users were encouraged to switch to Bing that guaranteed true search results. The current and second “Scroogled!” campaign was launched February 6th , 2013. In this wave of the campaign Microsoft encourages people to switch over from Google’s email service Gmail to their own, newly launched Outlook.com by informing people about the privacy risks in Gmail.

  • 2 Media Management in Theory and Practice 15 Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) Framework
    Media Management in 2 Theory and Practice Bozena I. Mierzejewska n the field of mass communication, the term theory is often loosely Idefined. Paradigms, conceptual frameworks, models, normative theories, and, of course, actual theories are all frequently referred to as “theory,” although they represent very different constructs. As traditionally defined in science, a theory is a systematically related set of statements about the causes or relationships underlying observable phenomena (Rudner, 1966). Theories are developed by abstracting from observation and are confirmed through repeated experiments designed to test hypotheses related to a theory. The result is often the development of law-like generalizations about underlying causes and relationships. The purpose of a theory is to increase scientific understanding through a systemized structure capable of both explaining and predicting phenomena (Hunt, 1991). Accepted theories become a part of our understanding and are the basis for further explorations of less understood areas. Being a statement of cause and effect, they help us predict with a certain degree of confidence future conse- quences of our current actions. Sound theories also help describe what is hap- pening and why; hence they are valuable tools for data interpretation. For all of their usefulness, theories do have limitations: First, they are focused and very specific, and therefore they cannot give full explanations of all factors involved. This very characteristic usually results in deterministic explanations. Second, they tend to be based on narrow, unrealistic assumptions. Theories aim to develop models used for predictions of future behavior and conse- quences, but they need to deal with complications of the unpredictability of individual humans and social groups.

And, like all great digital media markets, this one just makes good intuitive sense. Digital media consumers worldwide have a great appetite for digital content and they have a desire to move that content around the home. We believe that, necessitated by the continuing adoption of the digital video recorder (DVR) and other content storage technologies, accelerated by the rapid ramp of digital and high-definition television technologies, and enabled by the deep pockets of the telcos and cable operators, this market is poised for significant growth over the next several years and represents one of the largest-volume semiconductor opportunities in the digital media component space to date. The digital media networked The digital multimedia home network opportunity has been necessitated by the increasing ability of home—a function of recording... the consumer to record (or download) and display video content.

  • Antwerpguide.Pdf
    Antwerp is the second largest city of Belgium, and the largest city of the Flemish region. The city itself has half a million inhabitants, the metropolitan area about 1,2 million. The port of Antwerp is the second largest in Europe, and has a history dating back to the 12th century. Language Belgium has three official languages; French, Dutch and German. The southern part of Belgium speaks French, a small part east speak German, and the northern part - Flanders - speak Flemish, which is a Dutch dialect. The Brussels area is bilingual French and Flemish. So in Antwerp we speak Flemish/Dutch. Due to the port, Antwerp has always been visited by foreigners and you will have no trouble speaking English, French or even German. History Excavations have shown that Antwerp was inhabited as long ago as the Gallo-Roman period (2nd or 3rd century A.D.). The city appears to have grown up around two settlements: the 'aanwerp' (alluvial mound) from which it takes its name and Caloes, 500 meters further south. The city first experienced an economic boom in the 12th century, when the rival port of Bruges started silting up. By the first half of the 14th century, Antwerp had become the most important trading and financial center in Western Europe, its reputation based largely on its seaport and wool market. In 1356, the city, which had been part of the Holy Roman Empire, was annexed to the County of Flanders and lost lots of its privileges, partly to Bruges' advantage. Fifty years later, the political and economic tide turned again and as the Golden Age unfolded, Antwerp became a world class metropolis, described as 'the loveliest city in the world'.
