Blog: RFID and Hardare

An understanding of hardware would be essential to getting my company off the ground. Having knowledge of hardware will allow to be building my own computers for the company, saving thousands upon thousands of dollars. Simply knowing how much RAM I will need, hard-drive space required, etc etc will make the overall start-up go much smoother and cost-effective then just walking into Staples to buy a over-priced desktop.
Hardware knowledge can also carry over to the development of the software needed for “celljack.” Since many of the components are universal, I am also hoping the knowledge will allow me better ultize the hardware inside the cell-phone for my application.
RFIDS will prove invaluable to my application. Using the specific RFID tags tied to a customer’s login/password information would allow a much easier way of tracking the cell phone. The tags give the application the tracking device needed to begin to find the phone.

Blog : Flashing Lights and Graphs

There is no better program to keep a business organized then Microsoft Excel I believe. No other program can keep track of so many things in such a fluid and easy manner. A company that can master Excel can both be extremely organized internally, but also will be able to externally show the company through graphs and charts. Excel will help keep my business out of the red, with a system of Budget Alerts and Budget Surpluses to keep the fiances in check. As long as someone in the company is keeping Excel updated, we will be able to observe/adjust the money allocation accordingly.
Using Graphs and charts in a persuasive and professional manner will allow the company to accomplish many of our goals. The first of which would be getting some capital via investors. Using numbers and figures we will be able to show our investors why our company is needed, and where we are going. The power of excel can be used in an extremely beneficial way for Cell-Jack.
A flashy website is key to attracting any remote interest in our company and it’s services. Using the skills we learned about colors and coding websites I will be able to make a nicely colored, engaging, and professional website that will attract both teenagers and businessmen alike. The website will consist of many sleek, colorful metallic like colors that offer a contemporary feeling. I will also be able to use these colors for the application itself, using the colors to signal how much battery life is left and such.

Blog #2: Online Payment and Twitter

The very foundation of the cell-jack service would be heavily based around the cell phone carrier's application store. The application would be a featured product in the Apple App Store, the Droid App Store, and other popular cell phone services. Using the app store will save the company a lot of hassle in dealing with the many other problems We would aim to get the service featured immediately in the application store.
If for some reason we had to use a web-based procedure of selling our service, I would first and foremost set up my own personal domain website. Secondly I would at first use Paypal to get the product off the ground then once the product got moving and I could get a "mass quantities" discount from another service. I believe both of these plans would work very well, but with the application store getting the majority of the sales.
Using viral social media, it would be possible to secretly advertise the product without spending millions on an ad campaign. Using such tactics as "The Last Excorisms's chat-roulette" and " Youtube's Axe Body Spray Guy" we could get the idea of the product out to millions with a very low cost. If we did have excess money though, using Twitter as a advertisement for both viral and direct purposes would be useful. Secretly, we could flood twitter with good stories and praise of our product, while directly we could pay a famous celebrity such as Kanye West to post a shout-out to our product to his millions of followers. Using Social Media and web-based paying process will help Cell-Jack take off in the market.

The Idea: Cell-Jack

In today's modern world, every man and women is tethered to this earth by a piece of hardware no bigger then a computer mouse. This hardware is vastly important to a vast amount of people for many reasons. It's used for business, pleasure, family, and without it one could consider themselves utterly disconnected from the world around them. I'm of course talking about the "cell-phone", and my idea will take away any worries of losing or misplacing it.
The idea is I would invent a "Lo-Jack" for the cell-phone. The "Lo-Jack" for the computer allows one to track down a lost or stolen computer, even allowing one to delete the data off it so it cannot be viewed or stolen. The "Cell-Jack" would be installed like an App, with every installation having it's own unique login/password for the "Cell-Jack" website. If a cell-phone is misplaced or stolen, you would just log onto the site where their will be many options. Some of these options will be simply activating the GPS beacon if battery is left, deleting personal data, locking the phone, or activating a battery reserve in case the phone dies.
