Allright, you have about 11. While I'm sad to see you go, I think I'm worn out and you are all ready for summer. I hop you had some fun and learned something.

Just wanted to touch base on the Final Exam. The Final is on Tuesday at 10:15 in room 303. I posted a quick final exam tips echo. I spent a couple minutes on each question, so it should help and not take too much of your time. You can find it here and in the "Video Lecture" section on Blackboard. Also, you will find your Team Evaluation Form in the "Assignments" section of Blackboard. Please

It's not you, it's me. I can't do this anymore, all these late nights and long project papers. We need to break up. It's been fun, but I need to golf on Tuesdays and you need to get jobs. Seriously, this was a great semester, we covered a bunch of stuff and I'll bet the non-techies are pretty close to techies today. Hopefully you all learned something.I'll post an echo tomorrow morning (clues

I wanted to post a follow up to Jim Daley's talk on Tuesday. Obviously it was very informative and very technical. Here are the top five topics along with an resource to help explain them (in case I ask you on a quiz).

So I stared reading over your drafts and I was pretty disappointed that most of you didn't take advantage of the time given and opportunity for me to review it (actually one group is almost done). As we get closer to the due date for our Team Projects I thought it would be a good idea to provide you with a couple above average team projects from last year (These were B+/A- projects).Smart

OK, we've had a one week to get all the toxins out, it is time to get back on track. Last week I had you read from 3G Marketing on the Internet pages 1-32. That was a good start to the semester, but we are going move away from the book and learn more about the wireless Internet Infrastructure and interesting developments in that area. Plus on Tuesday we will get our midterms back and go over

This week we concluded the Computing section. Can I get an amen? Not my favorite part of the course, but I will never deny the power of the personal computer and their purpose. On Tuesday we looked at hot topics like virtualization, thin computing, and cloud computing. Also, we finished up with some US and International sales info for the industry. Simply said Acer improved, Dell hasn't been

As we are entrenched in the computing section of this course we need to enter into the Mac vs. PC battle.1. Which is the better personal computer and why?2. Which is a better enterprise computer? What I mean is which does CPU Inc. need - They have 500 PCs (towers and notebooks), need integrated file and communication systems.3.

This week we continue the individual project presentations and we start focusing on Computing. I like to discuss the history, evolution and improvements in the computing industry. We'll cover a number of simple computing terms and definitions by taking a look inside the computer. Glenn Santa (Computing Specialist) will help us discuss the "guts" and "uses" of computing parts. After the basics

As we move into the Computing Section of this course I started thinking about my first computer it was the Commodore 64. What a purchase by my dad. At the time the C64's graphics and sound capabilities were rivaled only by the Atari (hopefully you know what Atari is). Also it was the best selling computer of all time (at the time). At the time I was five and playing some really lame games: Super

We'll also look at some short video from Dell, Microsoft, Priceline and Google. Later in the week we will begin to examine the transformation of digital commerce technologies, platforms and trends from 1999 to 2009. We'll take a look at "old school"
