$399 ipads at T.J. Maxx: Black Friday Alert

After reading, $399 Ipads at T.J. Maxx: Black Friday Alert, It is interesting to see a store like T.J. Maxx selling the Ipad at such a discounted price. I think it will be interesting to see how many stores across the nation are actually able to offer this product at that price. It is well known that T.J. Maxx is able to offer great deals on all sorts of products but with a highly functional product like the Ipad it will be interesting to see if there are actually problems with them as T.J. Maxx mostly offers products with some sort of defect or overstocking issues.

Making Money with Mobile Apps

I find the article, Making Money with Mobile Apps, a very interesting view on how people are finding many ways to promote their ideas through mobile apps. It also shows how much people are reliant on technology now and how they use there mobile devices throughout each day.

Online Colleges Target Veterans

After reading Online Colleges Target Veterans, I realized the large extents that these online colleges will go to, to try to build creditability within their university. These colleges are trying to claim graduates of their college that did not even graduate from the school they are promoting. I believe this is unprofessional and should not be taking place. I think these online colleges are trying to target uninformed individuals and trying to profit off of them because they do not know where their money is going. This is all proven by the fact that the graduation rate in these online universities is around 30%. This process is terrible and should be looked into more. I do not believe Kaplin, the company offering this online education, has the credentials to be offering the education they are trying to set up. Overall, this just shows how some companies will go to any extent they can to make money off of the uninformed.
