iMacs

Topic:
Delayed iMacs.


Article Title:
Delayed 2012 iMacs may not be delayed after all.

Article Source:

ARS technica

Summary:
This article is about how the 21.5 inch and 27 inch iMacs will might still be coming out on time. Tim Cook said that Apple will might still have problems meet the deadline. Some people has already pre-ordered their iMacs for Christmas.

Reaction:
This event is a good thing, but some people will get mad if they don't come out when they are said they are supposed to.The iMacs are coming out at a great time. Christmas is coming up and that would be a great present. If it came out this week then it would be great for Black Friday. This is a great thing for technology and I think Apple will come up with bigger and better things.

World Impact:
This will impact the world in many ways. This is a great computer that is coming out because no one likes the big bulky key boards or computer screens. This computer has the body built in to the monitor. Since the monitor has everything in it then it makes the screen big. With older people wanting to learn more about technology then it is good for the iMacs so they can read it better then reular comeputer screens.

week 9

This week has been amazing!!! We finally moved into our new building. This building is so beautiful and I am happy that we are in it.

This week we learned some terms about computers so here is a list of them.
  • Track: When companies collect information about you based on your online behavior.
  • Target: When companies tailor content to you based on the information they have collected about you.
  • Demographic: Common categories of the population, such as age, gender, and race.
  • Cookies: Data files that are stored on your computer when you visit certain sites, which are often used by companies to identify repeat customers and personalize visitors' experiences
This week our web. 2.0 is Mixbook. Mixbook is where you can make a book of pictures online and its for free. I think the good thing about Mixbook is that you can design your own book for any occasion. The bad part is that it don't have that much calorful stuff for people to pick over.

How can these words relate to the idea of targeting and tracking? well first thing is that people can track you no matter how good you are good at computers and how much you delete your cookies. The secound thing is that being bad about some website using someone elses picture can be true and you won't have nothing to do about it.
