IT332-6: Differentiate between various computer operating systems.

Purpose

Quite a variety of operating systems are used in everyday devices and computer systems. The purpose of this assignment is for you to identify the operating systems that are used specifically for each device in order for that device to run efficiently. OS X is specifically designed for an Apple device only. However, Apple desktops have the ability to partition the hard drive, which allows the user to install a flavor of your favorite Windows OS on an Apple machine. This is called Boot Camp, which is a multiboot utility included with Apple systems.

Assignment Instructions:

Research on the Internet to determine at least six criteria upon which you will base a comparison of operating systems (examples might be reliability, speed, security). Create a table that lists your criteria as the rows of the table and lists the operating systems as the columns of the table. Operating systems should include Windows, iOS, Android®, OS X, Linux, and Unix. Enter in-depth information on each of the criteria for each operating system. Once your table is complete, write 1–2 paragraphs describing what you feel is the best use for each operating system, and justify what you state based on the facts presented in your table.

Provide a complete list of references below the table, using appropriate APA format.

Make sure the assignment includes:

• A table that has 10 criteria to compare operating systems.
• A table that compares the following operating systems: Windows, iOS, Android, OS X, Linux, and Unix.
• In-depth information for each criterion for each operating system.
• One to two paragraphs below the table that describe the proposed best use for each operating system. This is supported and justified by the information provided in the table.
• A complete list of references at the end of the paper.

Assignment Requirements

Be sure to use the appropriate APA format and cite your textbook or other sources that you used in your paper.

The paper should contain sufficient information to adequately answer the questions and contain no spelling, grammar, or APA errors. Points deducted from the grade for each writing, spelling, or grammar error are at your instructor’s discretion. 

To address hacking, Congress enacted the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) in 1986 as an amendment to the first federal computer fraud law. Over the years, it has been amended several times, most recently in 2008, to cover a broad range of conduct far beyond its original intent. The CFAA prohibits intentionally accessing a computer without authorization or in excess of authorization, but fails to define what “without authorization” means. With harsh penalty schemes and malleable provisions, it has become a tool rife with opportunities for abuse and use against nearly every aspect of computer activity.

Describe how, as technology advances, the use of the criminal law to regulate conduct using such technology also advances.

1. Why does the project team require a project scope statement prior to planning procurements?
2. What is the difference between efficiency and effectiveness? Give an example of something that is one but not the other.
3. Give specific examples of risks on a project that are within the team’s control, partially within the team’s control, and outside the team’s control. Tell how you would deal with each.

Your post must be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material.

A final report which describes and documents your analysis and design efforts of the proposed solution. Your report must include at a minimum

• A brief description of the problem, functionality of your proposed information system solution, and the business benefits gained by implementing it. 
• Artifacts such as use case diagrams, activity diagrams, context level data flow diagrams, E-R diagrams, user interfaces etc. used in your information needs/requirements specification and the systems design.
• List of the hardware and software required to meet the needs of your business problem.
• A brief discussion on what kind of a project methodology do you envision to use to implement your proposed solution. Include in your discussion the possible project scope and risk issues, you may encounter.

Note: For 1st and 2nd bullet points, you can use your assignment work and add it to the report

Conduct research and compare forensics tools that can examine Mac, IPod, and IPhone devices. Create a table listing the features they have in common, differences in functions, and price. Write a 3 to 4 page paper stating which one you would choose if you were an investigator for a small firm, and explain why.
