Users on the website will have the ability to create or join trips that exist in their nearby area. Those who invite friends and get them to sign up for trips will receive a discount based on the number of friends they get to join the trip. These users will have a variety of tools that will allow them to interact with social media sites like Facebook or Twitter to promote and share their experiences. Overall, users will be able to have fun with like-minded people by experiencing and supporting local points of interest, recreation and entertainment. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 8th Annual Siena College Student Conference in Business April 19, 2013 SWIFT THRIFT Meredith Baade, Siena College _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT SwiftThrift is a mobile thrift store that will be the most unique, convenient, and fun clothing exchange for college students in the Capital Region. Operating via refurbished school bus, SwiftThrift will circulate the 10 colleges in the region and provide a location for students to buy and sell lightly-used clothing. With a price range below retail stores and just above average thrift stores, SwiftThrift is sure to be a popular entity and a financial success. SwiftThrift is committed to raising the prominence of resale items and enforcing the "reuse" ideal of environmental sustainability. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 8th Annual Siena College Student Conference in Business April 19, 2013 THE GOTTA GO BUTTON: A NEW WAY TO TRAIN YOUR DOG Chad Bingo, Siena College _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The Gotta Go Button is a pet training device that allows owners to teach their dog to signal that they wish to go outside. Similar in size to the Staples Easy Button, the Gotta Go Button sits next to the door that the owner’s pet routinely leaves the house from. With my copyrighted training instructions, dog owners can teach pets of ANY age to push their button in about 3 weeks. Once pushed, the Gotta Go Button will say one of three programmed responses that will sound loud enough for the owner to hear. These three responses are “I Gotta Go!”, “I Really Gotta Go!”, and “I Gotta Go Now!” For a demonstration of this product I suggest going to www.Dogstarpp.com. The Gotta Go Button that you see in the video is the first prototype I made. The final product will say the three responses, have a yellow and black color set, have a raised logo, and be slightly shorter than the Staples Easy Button. Based on market research, I estimate it to sell for approximately $14.99 in stores and $12.99 online. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 8th Annual Siena College Student Conference in Business April 19, 2013 TOFF Vincent Crocitto, Siena College _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Toff is a mobile social media app, designed to allow users to express and share their own personal fashion with their friends and the world. It’s simple and mobile format will let the users be able to use the app and network with from anywhere with ease. A user can receive feedback on outfits, search for inspiration, and even engage in commerce with other users. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 8th Annual Siena College Student Conference in Business April 19, 2013 THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT: NOT SO AFFORDABLE Audrey Sabatini, Siena College Jordyn Torchia, Siena College ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The purpose of our research was to analyze the implications of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on both the uninsured population and, more importantly, health care costs in the U.S. The U.S.’s complex health care system has left approximately 48.6 million citizens without health insurance in 2012, and health care costs currently make up an unsustainable percentage of our GDP. Although the ACA will successfully decrease the number of uninsured, its policies will not combat the rising costs of health care in our country. ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted with the intent to reduce the number of uninsured Americans and to combat rising medical care costs. DeNavas-Walt et al. confirm that approximately 48.6 million Americans under age 65 currently are uninsured (2012). This percentage of the U.S. population has slowly risen from about 13% in 1999 to 16% currently. Health care costs made up approximately 18 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2010, and are projected to increase to about 25 percent by 2025 (MacGillis, 2010). The program is projected to reform both the over-complicated insurance market in the United States, as well as the U.S. health care system. This act includes a mandate for all U.S. citizens to acquire a health insurance policy, else pay a fine to the federal government. The ACA also reforms Medicaid and creates state-based health benefit exchanges. Although the ACA will like decrease the number of uninsured Americans over the next several years, it will not contain the rising costs of health care in the long run. The reform is estimated to save about $140 billion of federal funding the first decade in which it is implemented and hopes to help contain the rising costs we are facing in this market. We will provide evidence that these savings are over-estimated and that expenditures will continue to rise at an alarming rate even with the ACA in place. OVERVIEW OF HEALTH CARE IN THE U.S. The 16 percent of the U.S. population that remains uninsured lack health insurance policies for different reasons. Firstly, they have been denied health insurance coverage due to pre-existing conditions. A “pre-existing condition” constitutes any medical condition that a patient may have before they apply for a health care policy. About one in five non-elderly Americans

  • Secrets at Apple's Core [Entire Talk]
    Stanford eCorner Secrets at Apple's Core [Entire Talk] Adam Lashinsky, Author May 23, 2012 Video URL: http://ecorner.stanford.edu/videos/2973/Secrets-at-Apples-Core-Entire-Talk Adam Lashinsky, Fortune senior editor-at-large, shares an insider look at Apple, one of the world's most iconic and secretive companies. Based on his research into the technology giant's internal processes and approaches to leadership and building products, Lashinsky offers insights and surprises from his book, Inside Apple: How America's Most Admired--and Secretive-- Company Really Works. Transcript Almost exactly a year-ago this week I published an article in Fortune magazine with the same title as you see in front of you, Inside Apple. We decided at Fortune that in Apple we had a company that the entire world thought they knew a lot about because the world knew about Apple's products. And they knew about Apple's advertising and its image and its brand and its logo and so on. When in fact the world knew and really still does know very little about how Apple does what it does, what goes on inside Apple? There is a reason for that and it's a major part of my thesis and what I've learned in researching this company intensely over the last year and that is that Apple doesn't want us to know what goes on inside Apple. Apple is professionally focused on telling us, telling you about its products. Not about it. As a business journalist, my job is not to be concerned with what Apple is interested in us knowing, but what my readers at Fortune magazine ought to know and want to know.

  • '19 Contents It's Frustrating That Preview in Mojave Isn'
    A Publication of the Silicon Mountain Macintosh User Group Colorado Springs Metro Area It’s Frustrating That Preview in Mojave Isn’t Better April ’19 by ADAM ENGST Volume 35 Issue 4 I haven’t done much with Take Control since we sold the business to Joe Kissell in 2017 (see “Take Contents Control Books Acquired by Joe Kissell,” 1 May 2017), but I recently found myself back in the saddle to update Take Control of Preview. Josh Centers and I co-wrote the book about the version of Preview SIG News 2 that shipped with macOS 10.11 El Capitan, back in July 2016, and while I have continued to rely on the Club News 3 app every day, not much seemed to change with Preview in 10.12 Sierra or 10.13 High Sierra. When Door Prize Winners 6 10.14 Mojave rolled around, however, its Continuity Camera and screenshot features directly impacted Preview, so I decided it was time to do a deep dive and see what else might have changed in Preview. Joy of Tech 7 Unfortunately, the results of my investigation weren’t particularly Apple Special Event 8 positive. The new features in Preview don’t add much value, one Macs, iPads & Apple change is actively bad, and Apple introduced a handful of bugs. Don’t get me wrong—I still think Preview is a snazzy little app Watch 18 that’s far more useful than most people realize, and I probably use it Siri Tips & Tricks 22 more than any other Apple app on my Mac (because I prefer Chrome to Safari and Mailplane to Mail).

  • Augmented Reality - Bloomberg More Stories by Mark Gurman • March 20, 2017, 4:00 AM MDT
    Apple’s Next Big Thing: Augmented Reality - Bloomberg More stories by Mark Gurman • March 20, 2017, 4:00 AM MDT Tim Cook has talked up a lot of technologies since becoming Apple Inc.'s chief executive in 2011. Driverless cars. Artificial intelligence. Streaming television. But no technology has fired up Cook quite like augmented reality, which overlays images, video and games on the real world. Cook has likened AR's game-changing potential to that of the smartphone. At some point, he said last year, we will all "have AR experiences every day, almost like eating three meals a day. It will become that much a part of you." Investors impatient for Apple's next breakthrough will be happy to know that Cook is very serious about AR. People with knowledge of the company's plans say Apple has embarked on an ambitious bid to bring the technology to the masses—an effort Cook and his team see as the best way for the company to dominate the next generation of gadgetry and keep people wedded to its ecosystem. Apple has built a team combining the strengths of its hardware and software veterans with the expertise of talented outsiders, say the people, who requested anonymity to discuss internal strategy. Run by a former Dolby Laboratories executive, the group includes engineers who worked on the Oculus and HoloLens virtual reality headsets sold by Facebook and Microsoft as well as digital-effects wizards from Hollywood. Apple has also acquired several small firms with knowledge of AR hardware, 3D gaming and virtual reality software.

    MOSK: LATER THAT DAY There’s a whole other show waiting. Today, Jeff Gamet joins us to Tuesday, August 28, 2012 Tuesday, discuss all the Apple news that’s fit to pretend- print. Cross-Platform Zero-Day Vulnerability Found for Java 7; Affects Windows, Linux and OS X Tap If you’ve got Java 7 installed on your computer you seem to have a Here to serious security risk on your hands. Infoworld says “hackers are Listen! exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in Java 7,” one that “can be exploited through any browser running on any operating system, from Windows and Linux to OS X, that has Java installed...” According to the piece, "the vulnerability is not in Java 6, it's in new functionality in Java 7." While Apple stopped bundling Java in OS X with last year’s Lion release, the piece says users can and do install it on their own when they encounter a site that employs a Java applet. So far all of the known exploits in the wild have targeted Windows machines, though the piece says there’s nothing to stop an exploit aimed at the Mac. Security experts recommend disabling Java until Oracle delivers a patch. Java can be disabled on a Mac in the preferences of your chosen browser or browsers... and thanks to Information Security pro George Starcher for sending me this story... and freaking me the freak out. 1 The Apple v.

  • Apple 1 Crisis Communication Plan #2: Technical-Error Harm Purpose
    Crisis Communication Plan #2: Technical-Error Harm Purpose: In the event that iTunes user accounts and the servers are hacked, we must take immediate action to respond and inform all our publics of the situation. We will provide systematic tips and preventative measures to ensure other user accounts are not hacked or fraudulent use of a user account occurs. Apple’s focus is to respond to this crisis through ensuring all parties have the most available information. This will allow information to be communicated consistently, openly, and accurately to all parties. The resolution to the crisis can be obtained through an efficient and quick response, leading to open communication with all parties at all times. This path will allow all communication barriers to cease and stop any other problems at the source. Objectives: 1. Assess the crisis situation: a. Locate source of problem. 2. Assemble the CMT (Crisis Management Team) as outlined in the staff directory. 3. Setup Crisis Control Center and start preparation of all-important materials needed for the response. 4. CMT will take the assessments and data gathered to determine the appropriate strategies to respond to the situation. 5. CMT Lead will assign and implement the use of the Methods of Communication Chart to the appropriate key publics. 6. CMT Lead will need to be the first to be notified of the situation. CMT will refer to List of key publics to know who takes priority to contact from first to last. 7. Have a data and system analyst collect all available data from the network and all other available resources.
