James Williams - Jail Breaking the Iphone 4s
Many people are curious about the limitations that they have on their iphone 4s. With speculations on the new concepts for the iphone 5 and the addition of Siri, many people are excited about the new technology. Recently, I went through the process of jailbreaking my phone. For those of you who don’t know jailbreaking an iphone is removing the limitations apple has placed on the IOS operating system. Jailbreaking ones iphone enables one to get free apps through Cydia, the system that helps find jailbroken apps. One of the most reliable jailbroken apps is “tether me”, which allows you to get free wi-fi anywhere.
There are also practical applications such as Pokemon Yellow Version that is downloadable.
I must warn you also of the harms of jailbreaking your phone. The first thing is that jailbreaking your phone automatically voids your warranty on the phone. However, if you were to go back to your i-tunes settings and select restore iphone, the system will restore. Another problem with jailbreaking the iphone is that sometimes depending on the apps your phone will freeze and have to restart. I have not figured out a way to avoid this but it takes only a few seconds to come back on.
The last problem with
jailbreaking your iphone 4s is that you cannot update your iphone
with the new updates until the new jailbreaking app is updated or it
will reset and you will not be able to jailbreak it again.
Despite the
problems I believe that jailbreaking the iphone has more benefits
than problems. If you do choose to jailbreak your phone here is the
link below……..enjoy!

Nathaniel Goulbourne - HACKSTORE VS APPSTORE
Who doesn't like FREE apps? When it comes to the future of computing, applications are beginning to take over all aspects of our interaction with devices. The large variety of apps give us a wide range of choices to fit our personal, financial and educational and fun needs. Apple is know to limit the apps in there Appstore due to its strict regulations. A group of developers in Russia recently launched the “HackStore,” a centralized location for third-party OS X applications.
Like Cydia on iOS, the HackStore is a software hub that allows developers to distribute applications without having to endure Apple’s approval process. The biggest Mac Appstore problem is that they limit their users in everything, without giving an opportunity to expand these limits,” HackStore’s creators wrote on their website. “This is not correct, because ONLY users should decide which applications they should install and which one do not. We think HackStore [will] break through the narrow confines of Mac Appstore."

Professor Sistrunk, starts off class with a Google video that completely captivated me. It was a showcasing live action demo of Google's new Glasses. It allows you to view life totally different than before. You are able to stay connected to your social surroundings at all times. The best part about it is that the new technology is displayed over the glasses allowing one to seamlessly continue day to day actives while utilizing this new innovation.
Google is smart to whip this technology out because of one thing advertisement money. Google has recently started a new privacy agreement where it captures your personal data whether it be on the websites you visit via Google Chrome or by YouTube. From this data they gather information and advertise specific items to you the consumer based on the things you are looking at. Presently when you go to search anything in a Google search bar you are given a list of results. The way Google and advertisers make money is by having their sites on that first page of the site once you enter in a search. Google uses different services such as AdSense, AdWords, and Analytics to give both Google and the advertisers statistical information based on their advertisements.
When advertising it is best to be on the first page, but it is also okay to have your advertisement on subsequent pages. Obviously the first page is the best page because all are going to run across the first page that they get their search returns on. Professor showed us the sites he uses to advertise to his customers.
Using the website http://www.formsite.com/ it allows one to send out a mass email blast to everyone that clicks on a certain link to receive an email for an example an appraisal form. The website lists peoples emails that have depending on how you have your site set up, allows you to see who has visited your site, who has clicked something and etc. Using websites such as Google Analytics it will show you a detailed account of if someone has visited your site and might have clicked on something. Then with that information you can look at form site to see more specially who has visited by viewing their email addresses. From that you can get a better idea of who clicked on what and from there be able to contact them.
By the closing of class I was informed on many different online avenues one might take in order to track and keep up with statistical information in regards to the advertisement of something that pertains to my company.
Clint Middleton Jr. - MIS-understood
In the beginning of the semester, I dreaded taking this course because of everything I had heard about it. I was already worried about the fact that I had waited until my senior year to take it. My fellow students who had already taken the class met my expectations for the class with complaints of how tedious the class was and how they hated taking it. Now that I have taken it, I can definitely say that Prof. Sistrunk has redefined Management Information Systems. Professor Sistrunk has not only shown us as a class how to use the systems, such as data tables, pivot tables, etc. that we will need in the business world, but he also shows us the different types of technology that can help us in everyday life. Thanks to MIS, I no longer go straight to Amazon and Ebay when shopping online. Instead, I try sites such as SlickDeals and Meritline.
Prof, Sistrunk also went the extra mile to help us with things that extend beyond the reach of technology. Thanks to him, I was able to have a speeding ticket worth over $400 reduced to $150.
MIS is no longer the dreadful class that no one wants to take. Professor Sistrunk has given it a makeover and now I would recommend the class to other students that aren't even in the Business Dept. There are few classes at Morehouse College that I can say that I will never forget, but MIS is definitely one of them. Finally, MISunderstood has become MIS.... Understood.

Nicholas Holland-----Throughout the semester Prof. Sistrunk has shown the class a lot of new technologies that are on the rise, from the cars that can drive themselves to the Google glasses, which was my favorite. However, recently there has been a major development in holograms. As a kid I thought by the time I grew to be 21 that holograms like the ones in Star Wars would be standard, but in 2012 we see the first developments of holograms taking a turn in that direction.
At Cochella 2012 Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre performed some of their classic hits from the 1990s. Those two along with 2Pac had countless hits while signed to Death Row record company in the 90s. During the concert an almost life-like hologram of 2Pac appeared on the stage. His movements were so detailed that even his necklace would moved when his body moved. Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre proceeded to preform with the hologram for an electrifying performance.
Ever since this performance, the web has been buzzing about how advanced holograms actually are and the possibilities. People have been talking about the possibility of having holograms go on tour. 2Pac could have 4 different shows going on at different places all at the same time. Corning Inc. has already been working on these developments with home entertainment but never as big as a concert.
The hologram actually works buy projecting the image on a reflective surface on the floor and being projected on a clear film covering the stage to give the illusion that a three dimensional object is actually on the stage.
