John Butler looked at the clock in his car. It was 7:38 am, and he knew he would need some luck to get to his 8:00 am meeting at Genesis’s Harrison Avenue headquarters on time. Traffic on Boston’s Central artery was choked because of the lingering construction from the interminable “Big Dig”. Butler was looking forward to today’s meeting with Genesis senior executives to reflect on the lessons learned from the Polaris project, which Butler had led for more than three years. The project had been one of the most important efforts in Genesis’s 45 year history. It had set out to create an entirely new semi-conductor test-system platform. The resulting Ultra Flex system, designed to be flexible enough to allow customers to test a full range of semi-conductor devices, was critical to the success of Genesis’s new competitive strategy.…
Geolocation has truly made an impact on the world. In the past, individuals used to print out their directions and used paper to tell them where to go. The only problem with this is that you could potentially lose the paper or if you wanted to do add a route onto it, there was no possible way because you wouldn’t have access to the Internet. Now with the onslaught of Smartphones, tablets, etc. you can plug in your information and your current location is already saved on the server. You are able to find your current location on your mobile device by the GPS chip that is installed on them. The GPS chip is where all of the data is stored, sent, and received. Smartphones, tablet, and Internet devices all should have GPS chips within their systems. The iPhone and “The iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G models do have built-in GPS chips that receive signals from the global GPS satellite system to determine your location - as closely as three meters, depending the number of satellite signals the chip is receiving. GPS in the iPad 2 is classed as assisted GPS, also known as AGPS, which enhances the performance of standard GPS in devices connected to Wi-Fi or the cellular network. The iPad 2 W-Fi + 3G may be used for the full range of apps that require detailed location information wherever you may be…
