TSI operating systems are worldrenowned for their quick response to sensor input, highly reliable operation, limited memory utilization, small size on disk, and low power consumption. The TSI Operating System (TSI OS) works exceptionally well on the devices owned by TSI customers, but it does not work well in the TSI back office.

Unit 2 – Geek Squad Case Assignment 1. What are the key environmental factors that created an opportunity for Robert Stephens to start the Geek Squad? During the 90’s there was not much competition in understanding technology, repair of advance technology or installation and programming. Also, with the introduction of high tech equipment, there was a lack of qualified talent which made it easy for the Geek Squad to flourish. Many consumers where highly interested in owning the technology but was not familiar with the details of how it works.
(Exhibit). Whereas, the preceding marketing campaign, launched in October 2007 was unsuccessful to create the buzz to attract 10,000 subscribers and awareness for companies who were willing to advertise on Blue Orb’s website.

With fewer concerns about cyber security before the September 11 terrorist attacks, crimes involving computing technologies were considered “lesser crimes, if there were considered crimes at all” (McQuade, 2006). McKinnon had easily crafted his way into the US Defense’s computer network with a program that he created. His obsession led him to a course where no one had ever ventured before. He had the courage to pursue knowing that there was a scarcity of computer crime laws.

There is a big difference in the sale tactics of the 2 adverts. The Fiat is a soft sell advert because there is no reference to the price of the car or any statistics about the car whereas the Chrysler advert displays the price in big numbers at the top of the advert and it also refers to the fuel consumption of the car. This shows that the 2 adverts use different tactics to advertise and sell the car. I think that the target audiences for these cars are the same; both of these cars are family cars. Both of the cars are designed to be comfortable and safe, they are not advertised to be fast sports cars or stylish city cars; they are advertised as normal cars.

Love them or hate them no one can deny their impact on the technology field. In 1976 Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak dropped out of college and developed a computer (Apple 1) in their garage.
