Step 1: Add “MessageUI.framework” into your Xcode Project

Step 2: Call the function in your ViewController.m file like so:   #import “MessageUI/MessageUI.h”

Step 3: This code goes into your ViewController.m file:

Step 4: Beneath that allow for the action to be terminated like so:

That’s about it.

So this is what I did, I went to this site: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/
Downloaded the iso there. Burned it with my Mac and booted into it on the Win Xp box. Then you run thought some fairly straight forward menus and you’re all set.
This tool saved me hours of re-installing! So i hope it’ll help others as well.

apparently she had a hard day…

Here’s what i did to solve this:

I unchecked everything under Lan and Firewall and made sure that the Comcast SMC box is really acting just as a modem. I kept the default 10.1.10.1 IP and the subnet mask. Since I don’t subscribe to the Comcast static IP i will be still stuck with the IP the modem passes on ( 10.1.10….) but at least modem isn’t the one handing over the IP’s so i have more options..

Then on the airport utility i manually told it to use router address 10.1.10.1 and assigned it address on the same subnet (even though SMC box is not handing anything out anymore)

Then i told the Airport to distribute range of IP’s (if you use option of sharing public ip you will get some NAT translation conflicts) and that’s it. So now my SMC is just handling internet traffic and the airport handing out IPs and NAT stuff.

went out an a boat into san diego bay the other night…more pictures on flickr

Winnebago is facing withering sales in the RV industry. Economic forces have led to increase gas prices and high interest rates that caused significant increase in logistic cost, low production levels, and decreasing sales.

Symptoms

1. Increasing gas prices. An average gas price in the US in July 2002 was around $1.32 per gallon and has increased to an average of $4.10 per gallon in the US in July 2008 (Exhibit 1).

2. Increase in interest rates has resulted to low purchasing power for consumers in the market to purchase big items (Exhibit 2).

3. Poor gas mileage. A Class-A Winnebago gets an average of 6 miles to the gallon1. 4. Inventory increased by 31.3% in August 20072. 5. Net Sales decreased 12.86% in August 2006 from the previous year and has only increased 0.67% in August 2007 (Exhibit 3). Mission Statement

Mission statement can be found in Exhibit 4. Winnebago has a strong mission statement. It mentions the company’s devotion to quality in its product and services. It declares the type of products or services that the company provides to their customer and thus it clearly shows the type of industry that the firm is in. In its mission statement, Winnebago does not address any environmental concerns. The firms should indicate that it would put its best effort to protect the environment.

1 http://www.edmunds.com/fueleconomy/ 2 Inventories, as of 8/25/07, were $101.21 million. Inventories, as of 8/26/06, were $77.08 million. <http://finance.yahoo.com/>

Background3 In 1958, businessman John K. Hanson and his colleagues convinced a California

company to open a travel trailer factory in Forest City, Iowa. In 1960, the company’s name was changed to Winnebago Industries. Winnebago is now a leading manufacturer of motor home and uses state-of-the-art computer-aided design and manufacturing systems. The company owns its land, buildings, and equipment and thus it doesn’t have any long-term debt. Winnebago has strong brand recognition. In fact, Winnebago is considered synonymous with the term motor home. Furthermore, Winnebago is a company that strives to a higher standard of ethics and has established a 13-point code of ethics in its company. Winnebago has a strong commitment to quality and sees quality as a journey and not a destination.

Assumptions

• Gas Prices will continue to increase in the future. • New technology will allow for different alternative fuels, which will minimize

environmental footprint since they would be more efficient than gasoline. • There will always be a market for recreational entertainment to target. • Winnebago sees an alternative option to explore the opportunity in the market of renting

RVs.

associated with this is that the factory is no longer to mass produce; causing increased

manufacturing costs and inefficiencies. • “Go Green” program. This alterative will result in good PR and show the company being

social responsible to the community and the environment. The alternative will give their products differentiation from competitors and may also draw in new customers. The only downside to the alternative is the project will be costly. This program will take time and energy to develop and implement in order for it to benefit the company in the long run.

• Enter New Markets. Instead of just building RVs, Winnebago can branch out to manufacturing buses and minibuses. This alternative broadens Winnebago’s market by entering other markets of travel. Entering new markets will have their challenges; the largest is the operational cost of expanding the factory to compensate the new product lines.

Recommendation

Based on the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix, the best strategic alternative, which will allow Winnebago to differentiate their product from their competitors and capitalize on internal strengths and external opportunities would be selecting “Go Green” alternative. The alternative is also in line with Winnebago’s continuing efforts in increasing quality in their products. Implementation

As shown in exhibit 10, implementation will consist of specific steps and will take place over the next four years. Although working with VP of product development and marketing VP will be integral to this process, implementation and further development of partnership with Honda will be central to the success of this proposal.

Additional Assignment – Journal Article Review

1.         Article Summary

This particular article published by Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, November 27^th was somewhat intriguing. I have always thought of Verizon Wireless as a company that lost its consumer appeal and user friendliness years ago. What was worse was the fact that company management did not seem to be doing anything to ensure company’s competitiveness in the future. But yesterday’s article in Wall Street Journal changed some of my earlier opinions.

Verizon, a joint venture of Verizon Communications Inc. and Vodafone Group PLC, announced that it would open up its wireless network for third-party devices. This move will allow customer to purchase the handset or any other mobile device in any retail outlet they wish and be able to use it on Verizon network. Prior to the move, customers were able to use only the devices sold and outfitted by Verizon itself.

Article goes to discuss several of the US cellular companies and in essence create a side-by-side comparison that points out some of the potential implications this move might have on the company. In addition, article describes Verizon Wireless management’s reluctance to cooperate with open standards protocols proposed by Google to the FCC. Its not surprising that amidst Verizon’s opposition to the proposed “open network” standards that would allow customers use any device they wish Verizon’s latest move to open up their own network seems like a strategically reacting move.

As article continues, it reveals Verizons plans to publish the specific details of system infrastructure that will allow developers that create mobile devices to better design their devices for seamless use on the Verizon network. Although publishing company’s system specifics is not something new, typically it comes after significant litigation and normally is preceded by a court order as it was the case in Microsoft’s European monopoly proceedings. This latest move by Verizon is seen as its managements attempt to gain a corner on the market of open standards for communications that Google is so insistent on pursuing.

Although Verizons decision might have a relatively large impact in terms of managerial restructuring and customer service for the company itself. This move also marks an important stepping-stone for wireless industry as a whole. Wireless industry in the United States is perhaps on a path to become more decentralized, flexible and more compatible with its European counterparts.

1. 2. Personal Reaction

I believe that this article has great value to business management students as it points out the importance of proactive management. Although Verizon Wireless is moving towards somewhat de-centralized wireless network model, many networks that are operating in the US today area already experiencing the benefits that this model brings. For example, AT&T allows handsets that are not sold by it’s retail stores to be used on it’s wireless networks causing many customers to switch to AT&T simply due to large variety of devices the network supports. Verizon has held on to the outdated business model that did not keep the customer in mind and now the company is attempting to play catch up.

Although Verizon will undoubtedly gain some consumer confidence and perhaps a larger market share as a result of this move, I believe the company has much larger issues. Verizon seemingly has done very little to create a network that is more compatible with other worldwide carriers. As opposed to AT&T’s GSM network Verizon Wireless still uses an outdated analog signal in some of it’s towers, as well as incompatible digital spectrum that is not used anywhere also in the world. I think that these are some of the issues that Verizon Wireless management team must consider in order for company to succeed. While opening the network for third-party devices is a step in the right direction, Verizon needs to do more to ensure that consumers see the company as a viable communication choice amidst growing competition.

One positive and innovative idea that I see coming out of this article is the fact that Verizon Wireless management is considering the history in predicting the future and is trying to speculate where technology is going to end up. One of the key remarks in the article is the fact that Verizon hopes that the wireless standards become a way of life the same way the Internet has. Verizon says that it hopes to have anything that would like to be linked to the company network on board, including computers, wireless book readers, and possibly, kitchen appliances.

I think this article shows a reality of today’s competitive and dynamic market. It shows that management no longer is able to survive simply on reactive strategies and only responding to issues and challenges as they arise. Today’s technologically savvy consumers expect more from service industry, they are no longer willing to be bound by irrational company standards of limited choices. It seems to me that if a company like Verizon were to be successful, it absolutely must engage in proactive and maybe even aggressive advancements. No longer is the best quality the only factor that captures consumer spending. Today, choices and options play overwhelmingly important role in the consumer spending decisions.

Verizon as well as many other technology companies must stay sensitive to consumer needs that go beyond the obvious quality of service. As technology industry grows it continues to offer low barriers to entry thus creating healthy competition for consumer dollars. Consumers, now more than ever before focus on environmental impact psychological appeal and physical appearance when making technology purchases. Apple Inc. has been doing a great job in capturing consumer attention with its innovative products that appeal to all levels of consumer interests. Cell phone companies must shift their thinking paradigm and begin to employ a management style that would allow them to adapt quickly to consumer needs.
