Piracy Issue

I definitely think that there should be stricter copyright laws on software. The company made a licensing agreement for a reason. People think that just doing it once will not hurt a million dollar company, but they are wrong. Unless the software was intended to be shareware, we should not pirate it. Without the money that is lost through piracy, updates will not be as good, nor will employees get paid as well. With employees losing pay, they will probably quit. In turn, the company will tank and no software is made. All that could happen just because we do not feel like buying the software ourselves. Although it isn’t all that bad for major corporations to lose out on this money, it kills the little guy. If someone wanted to start out making software, music or movies, but all of their products were being ripped off, they would lose everything they had. It is too expensive to start out on you own to do things along the lines of electronics.

A vending machine for software, wow. What will they come up with next. Just walk on up to it and select the software you desire on a touch screen monitor. Have your receipt printed out, go to the front desk and they burn your software for you. It’s as simple as using an ATM. I would definitely invest in this product. In a few years I would bet that this will be the only way to get software. Its quick and simple, but the change could take time getting used to.

In my current career field there aren’t any standard packages that people need to know how to use. The reason for this is that computers aren’t used in my career field.

Really the only software package that I am familiar with is Microsoft Office.

I would like to learn how to use Quick Books. This way I can track my money more efficiently and manage my accounts. I dont really have a use for any other packages.

I think that the computers’ future is going to change drastically. The size of things will diminish, but the efficincy will rise in many of the products. I think wireless internet will become the norm in every house and that dial-up will pretty much be non existant. The biggest obstacle is having the money to fund all of the technology.

Vick Investigated Over Signs of Marijuana Found in Water Bottle
By Larry DiTore

Jan. 18 (Bloomberg) — Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is being investigated after signs of marijuana were found in a water bottle he carried at an airport security check, according to a police report.

The bottle, with a hidden compartment that had “a pungent aroma closely associated with marijuana,” was taken from a recycling bin at Miami International Airport yesterday, the report by Miami-Dade Police said. A substance, described as “a dark particulate,” was sent to a lab for analysis, which might take three months, police said.

Vick, 26, a passenger on an Air Tran flight from Miami to Atlanta yesterday, wasn’t arrested. He surrendered the bottle and passed through security before the substance was found, police said. Vick wasn’t available for comment and agent Joel Segal didn’t return a message left on his mobile phone.

“Right now we’re waiting for the lab results,” police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta said in a telephone interview. “Depending on those results, we’ll then determine where the investigation goes next.”

The National Football League Falcons said in a statement that they “plan to look into this matter and discuss it further with Michael before having any further comment.”

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello didn’t immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

Police said airport screeners became suspicious of Vick after he was unwilling to turn over the bottle before boarding. He eventually surrendered the bottle to a Transportation Security Administration official, who placed it in a recycle bin, and Vick was allowed to go to his gate.

Reluctance

Vick’s initial reluctance prompted TSA official Gertrude Joseph to retrieve and examine the 20-ounce bottle, the police report said. She discovered the hidden compartment and notified her supervisor.

The bottle’s label concealed a seam that separated it into halves. The top and bottom portions held clear liquid, while the suspicious substance was found in a middle compartment, according to a police description.

“When held upright the bottle appeared to be half full of water,” the report said.

The investigating officer reviewed security cameras to substantiate what occurred, according to the police report.

Vick threw for a career-high 20 touchdowns and rushed for 1,039 yards this season, the first NFL quarterback to rush for 1,000 yards. The Falcons failed to reach the playoffs for the second straight year.

He was fined $10,000 by the NFL and agreed to donate the same amount to charity after making an obscene gesture toward fans at the Georgia Dome after a Nov. 26 game.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank and new coach Bobby Petrino said last week that Vick would remain the team’s starting quarterback even after it ranked 25th in scoring and last in passing, a performance that led to questions about Vick’s long-term position with the team.

Vick, who is one of the league’s biggest marketing attractions, has eight years remaining on a $130 million contract he signed in December 2004.
