Session 7: The Quiz and the venture into Podcasting.

           We were welcomed back after the recess by the Prof as we entered the class. The welcome note on the screen was not that friendly though. We had an assessment in the next hour. With hardly any practice in case studies we were confronted with two cases. Solving the paper told me that I should change my approach in reading the book. It was a good practice for the exams though the paper there would be even tougher.

           Giving consumers the tools for aerial scanning and three-dimensional mapping of the world -- allowing them to fly by their neighborhoods or make a detailed inspection of far away places -- is radical. That's what Google Local and similar services -- which I'm referring to collectively as "Air Google" -- do through satellite image maps that provide a bird's-eye view of just about anyplace.

           After the assessment we had a discussion on the paper where I figured out that I need to use more business model terms in my answers. Then we looked at the hot news of the day where black berry, a leading American mobile provider with a variety of unique features, was sewed by a law firm for copying some designs. We looked at some of the implications and contemplated on the alternatives. Towards the end of the class we had Podcasting on the agenda. We looked at a few podcasts as well. If you are lost as to what podcast is, refer to the article on podcast that I m posting for this week. Hope to see you again in the next week with some more new stuff including skype conferencing.
