Microsoft Office vs. OpenOffice.org
According to Microsoft.com, a new version of Microsoft Office 2003 will normally cost anywhere between $400 - $500, depending on which version you get. While Microsoft also has a $150 “Student and Teacher Edition” which is the same at the $400 Standard Edition, most people do not qualify for that version, and even for those that do, $150 can still be a lot of money, especially for a student, and $400 is much more than most people would want to spend simply to type a document occasionally. These prices seem even more extreme in light of the fact that there are many free alternatives to Microsoft Office. One of the most popular and well known alternatives is OpenOffice.org, which is usually called just OpenOffice or OO. I am going to be discussing whether OO really is comparable to Microsoft Office for the average user. I'm am not going to try to show that OO is a better office suite than Office, because if you ignore the money issue, Office really is an excellent collection of programs that have set the standard for office suites in general. All I am going to be looking at is whether OO really has the most of the same capabilities as Office, and is comparable in it's ease of use as well.
The word processor is probably the most important application to look at when comparing the two suites. Microsoft's word processor is called Word, and OO's is called Writer. These two programs are very similar in what they are able to do, and it's hard to tell much difference between the two at first glance. If a user is accustomed to Word, Writer has a very familiar look to it, and so a user new to Writer should have no problem jumping right into the program without havin...

...slide at all. That is not to say that Impress is incapable of creating custom animations, it is just that it has troubles displaying the animations from a PowerPoint file. Since the animations could be a big part of a presentation, trying to transfer PowerPoint files over to Impress files can be a lot of work. If the user does not have to transfer files, and can instead create them from scratch in Impress, there is little difference between the two programs capabilities.
As we've seen, although there are some big differences between OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Office, both offer the same basic functionality to casual users who might not use some of the more complex features. Coupled with the fact that OpenOffice.org is free, and Microsoft Office can cost anywhere from $150 - $500, it seems clear that OpenOffice.org is a good choice for most people.

Fresh flowers and fruit is a repetition that was placed around the Dove product bottle, along with the splash image of body wash and water. A repetition that was chosen for Olay was basic bottles floating in water, while their product appears to be rising from the water. Dove’s repetition of fruit and flowers gives one the impression that their product smells fresh. Dominance is a repetition Olay chose when creating their advertisement. Their product rising above the basic bottles that represent lead...
United States versus Microsoft Corporation case was a set of combined civil engagements filed against Microsoft relating to the Sherman Antitrust Act by the Department of Justice. In the case, the Department of Justice purported that Microsoft abused monopoly supremacy on PCs in its control of OS sales and web browser software sales (Lohr& Brinkley, 2001). The conflict evolved around the integration of the internet explorer browser software in Microsoft’s Windows OS; a move that was argued to restrict web browser competitors like Opera and Netscape from accessing the browser market. Microsoft argued that it did not have a case to answer and stated the misfortune was the result of the fierce competition and innovation strategies in its industry (Glader, 2006). The following paper aims at analyzing the merits generated from the final settlement of the case and outlines the parties that benefited and those whose interests were harmed.
Dove addressed a prominent issue in young girls’ lives today by their use of kairos. Through ethos, Dove develops a strong ethical appeal to their audience. The commercial would not be impactful without the use of pathos to appeal to the audience's emotion. The use of logos gives an argument and a solution to the self-esteem issue. Although the Dove Self-Esteem Project commercial does have native advertising that sells their product indirectly and commits many fallacies, the ethical and emotional appeal in the commercial makes the project not only relatable, but

Various magazines and brands have switched out the size 00, 6 foot plus supermodels that the public is so used to seeing. If one defines beauty as such, everyone of all ages is affected. Young girls are taught that they need to be skinny enough to where your collar bones show to be considered perfect and beautiful. By using airbrushed and photoshopped models, the public is being hurt. Dove is a major brand and when they came out with their “Real Beauty” ads, they were praised by many. According to this source, “The Dove® Campaign for Real Beauty was created to provoke discussion and encourage debate”(citation). Dove definitely redefined beauty with their ads and campaigns. Dove has convinced many that beauty is not about reaching a certain ‘standard of per...

This label is large font making it easy to read. The color of the bottles is geared to catch the eye of the consumer, though not only that, the dark red stands for power, passion, and love. Dove appears to be honest in their desire to show that all women have beauty. However, in selling products specifically made for aging skin, or to fight the age process, Dove fails in its approach at honesty and true beauty.
Nonprofit community hospitals are the largest grouping of hospitals in the nation (Williams & Torrens, 2008). Even though the number of community hospitals has declined over the past twenty years, most Americans still use them as their primary source of care. Many nonprofit hospitals are sponsored by religious organizations. Nonprofit entities are generally expected to provide a certain amount of indigent care. The Affordable Care Act of 2010 required that all nonprofit hospitals perform a community needs assessment (Pennel, McLeroy, Burdine, & Matarrita-Cascant, 2015).
Open source software is a software that can be used by anyone without any charge needed and it will be freely used and available in modification and enhancement. The benefit of open source software in business is the need of a simple version application that can be customize or making an enhancement such as word processing or any easily editable website.
Through the years, technology has allowed many aspects of our lives to be enhanced and our standard of living increased. The creation of the computer, cell phone, internet and interactive software have caused the world to become more globalized and for information to become more accessible to the general public. As with any type of evolution, the standards of all technologies have been raised to accommodate our new needs for information and data processing. Open source software (OSS) is simply one of these evolutions.
