- Microsoft Microsoft was founded in 1975 by two smart and unique individuals, Bill Gates and Paul Allen. These two life-long friends had a single vision - Microsoft computer software in every home in America. (Microsoft Homepage, Personal Computer, April 12th, 1999) This dream has long since become a reality for Microsoft whose marketing strategy and organizational goals have earned it a place in history as a computer software pioneer. Always three steps ahead of the competition, Microsoft constantly strives to do all that must be done to remain at the top, which is exactly where they are. Ever since Microsoft was established, the ...
- 432: Computer Programmer
- ... work in teams, and divide the work. Working as a team, programs are designed with the end user in mind and are made as simple as possible. Another job that is common, is testing the software. No matter how good the programmer is, there will always be bugs in the first version of a program. Testers are needed to run the program many times, looking for errors. When possible, the tester will correct any problems he finds. If the tester cannot fix the error, he must be able to exactly describe the problem to the programmer. Other programmers maintain software after it is produced. Because of continual hardware upgrades, a program must be modified to keep up with current standards. Errors found after a program has been produced must be corrected. In addition, many programs ...
- 433: Microsoft Vs. U.S. Government
- ... has become a very important part nowadays. Why? The Internet, because it gives us a lot of information at our fingertips. That is exactly what an integrated browser would do for the Windows OS. Other software companies have already done a similar thing with their operating systems at IBM. Not being able to improve on a product would be the end of any type of production oriented company. However, this integration ... not just some strategy to beat the competition. The antitrust laws were established, not to protect competitors, but to protect competition for the sake of the consumer. Microsoft has enhance the computing era greatly. If software developers were forced to develop many versions of their product to meet the needs for many types of operating systems then the prices would rocket (1). Do you think Microsoft has violated these laws in ...
- 434: Dell Computer Corporation
- ... extensive range of other value-added services. The company designs and customizes products and service to the requirements of the organizations and individuals purchasing them, and sells an extensive selection of peripheral hardware and computing software through its DellWare program. Nearly two-thirds of Dell’s sales are to large corporations, government agencies and educational institutions. Dell also serves medium and small business and home-PC users. Dell’s award-winning ... every day. While the personal-computing market has expanded dramatically since the 1970s, Dell believes that the industry’s best days and its own are yet to come, for two broad reasons. The stream of software and hardware innovation from companies such as Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp. is rapid and robust, and is sharply increasing system performance and reducing the relative cost of computing. For example, in February 1982, Intel ...
- 435: Programmers
- ... Reading good code is like reading a well-written book. You're left with wonder and admiration for the person who wrote it." A number of programmers take on additional duties to become systems architects, software producers, or technical writers. Others take their programming expertise to a related profession, such as graphic designer or animator. Those who go into government work can become computer security consultants, encryption specialists, or federal agents ... specializing in computer science. A few who enter the business world become Management Information Systems Specialists (MISSs) who analyze, improve, and maintain corporate information systems for (usually) large, multinational corporations Originally, in the 1960s, all software was known as "freeware," and was distributed among the few technical eggheads who built their own computers. During this period, one young Harvard student sent a letter to his fellow programmers saying that he thought ...
- 436: GPS: The Future of Navigation and Technology
- ... the Deployable Force-on-Force Instrumented Range System (DFIRST). Maj. Jeff Grant pointed out that simulation takes place outside Boise Idaho. By combining off-the-shelf radio communications equipment and GPS receivers with specially developed software, DFIRST enables armored units to conduct highly realistic combat practice to improve their battle readiness. Inside the 70-ton Abrams tank, these block letters glow softly on the in-vehicle display screen, informing the crew ... the sudden swing of the tank's turret as the gunner locks onto the target with a 120-millimeter smoothbore gun. Grant also points out that after the gunner squeezes the trigger, within milliseconds, processing software in Charley 12's instrumentation package verifies -- based on GPS coordinates, gun-pointing angle, and the tank's known performance capabilities -- that the enemy tank is within the cross hairs and effective firing range of ...
- 437: Censorship And The Internet
- ... the Internet it may be archived somewhere else. There are in fact many sites on the Internet that are devoted to the archiving of information including: ftp.cdrom.com (which archives an extraordinary amount of software among others), www.archive.org ( which is working towards archiving as much of the WWW as possible), and wuarchive.wustl.edu (which is dedicated towards archiving software, publications, and many other types of data). It becomes hard to censor material that might be duplicated or triplic ated within a matter of minutes. An example could be the recent hacking of the U ...
- 438: Netscape’s Gecko: The Next-Generation Layout Engine
- ... the process to Linux Gecko is being developed in the open and its developers encourages people to submit any level of expertise to improve Gecko. The author believes this is one of the major ways software will be developed. I believe that Gecko is going to be a successful project for Netscape due to the fact that it is an open source project having thousands even millions of people on every level of expertise input their “two cents”. I also believe that this is one of the major ways software will be developed because it feels as if we are at our technological peak in the aspect of developing new ideas. The calibration on this project will allow those who do see further technological growth ...
- 439: Limitations on Robotic Technology
- ... landscapes. The high level of radiation keeps humans at a distance, but they can control the robot via two-way communication. Pioneer is a robot that is controlled by humans and does not have any software to allow it to make decisions on its own. With today's technology, robots can be programmed with software to do anything that is needed. There are robots that map out mine fields by using detectors to seek out unknown mines. Military personnel can use these robots to keep soldiers out of dangerous terrain ...
- 440: The Computer Revolution
- ... word processor with a mail-merge facility. This single person with their workstation can now produce the output of a typing pool in a couple of hours because of the advances in both hardware and software of office automation. As we walk around today we are never far from advanced technology. A third of the UK population currently own mobile phones. Just thirty years ago the technology behind this everyday device ... has made e-Commerce a possibility and that shows the prospect of job creation in this whole new avenue of retailing. Credit, debit and loyalty cards are used to exploit another relatively new set of software IT technologies which make business decisions much easier. The technology is called data mining and refers to the extrapolation of trends or inferences which diverse data makes but which take humans a long time to ...
