CCT 205 Labs App store lab I think the app store is a convenient way to supply Macintosh users with applications that will help improve their machines. As an ipad user I find that the app store is very helpful, it is organized by genre and one can even put a key word in and find what they are looking for. The apps that are made and uploaded are usually made to simply life for the user, such as the calorie counter that shows the amount of calories that any dish at any mass food chain has in it, this is very useful for people who are diabetic or who are on a diet. The fact that Macintosh has monopolized the use and revenue of these apps is something that will hopefully change soon enough as more and more people are thinking of apps to create and upload. Overall I find that these apps are very helpful and i have come to rely on some of them for many day to day aspects, also they are not very pricey which makes them affordable for almost anyone and allows them (the creators and Macintosh) to cater to a big demographic. CCT 205 Labs. Feb 10th 2011 Privacy Privacy is becoming a major issue in today's world. With tools and services such as Facebook, Blackberry, Twitter, MSN, and Google it has become harder to protect ones information. We are living in a world where we tracked down with relative ease and nothing is private. Facebook is one of the leaders in this privacy erosion movement, stating clearly in their contract that whatever information they collect will be kept and shared as per their convenience. The state that we have reached is scary, it is scry to imgaine that one could be found out at any minute. This issue of Privacy is portrayed well in the movie Eagle Eye where the protagonist is being tracked down by the second and receives orders from an automated message. If something is not done in order to sanction or limit these privacy infringements. People must demand better protection, we should start boycotting certain tools such as Google or Facebook in order for these people to get the message and better protect our information and identities. I believe the future of privacy is very dim and that the more time goes on and the more we allow our information to be publicized in the way that is the more we are going to be taken advantage of.
