blog#2.1GLOBE TELECOM USE ECOMMERCE THROUGH G-CASH

G-Cash, as described by Globe Telecom and now available in the Philippines, appears to be an SMS-driven, server-side “wallet” money transfer service for mobile subscribers.
Globe subscribers wishing to send G-Cash must first register for G-Cash via SMS. They can then load their G-Cash “wallet” by going to an authorized G-Cash outlet and presenting both cash, identification, and completing forms required by the government to prevent money laundering. The outlet sends a message to G-Cash which loads the wallet with the amount deposited.Non-subscribers can also send funds from an authorized G-Cash outlet by completing the necessary forms, identifying the subscriber to whom they’re sending funds, etc. Presumably there’s a subsequent settlement (probably daily) between G-Cash and the outlet for the amount of cash deposited over the settlement period.Once the consumer’s wallet has been loaded, the consumer can use SMS messages to send cash to another subscriber’s G-cash wallet. The receiver does not have to have been already registered for G-Cash -- but must register to be able to send or cash-out any G-Cash they receive.
Cash-out requires the consumer to visit an authorized G-Cash outlet, present identification, complete anti-money laundering forms, and pay cash-out fees prior to receiving funds. The outlet provides the consumer with a unique transaction code, which is used by the consumer in an SMS message to send the funds to the outlet. Once received, the outlet dispenses cash to the consumer.
G-Cash can also be used to make purchase transactions – either on the web at selected merchant web sites or at physical merchant locations. It appears that merchants initiate an outbound SMS to the consumer containing the purchase details, amount, etc. The consumer replies (using a PIN) to complete or decline the payment.
Fees of 1% (subject to a minimum for low-value transactions) are collected for both cash-in and cash-out transactions. Subscribers are limited to a maximum amount of G-Cash in their wallets and the service imposes certain velocity limits on cash-out and transfer transactions – presumably as part of the overall risk management of the service.
At this time, there does not appear to be any way to a consumer to transfer funds to a bank account for withdrawal at an ATM. Similarly, there appears to be no way currently to get funds into G-Cash other than via a cash-in transaction at an authorized G-Cash out

blog #5 computer ethics

what is your computer ethics program?

Society in general and organisations in particular are becoming more dependent upon computer technology. Those responsible for the development and application of computer technology are faced with decisions of increasing complexity which are accompanied by many ethical dilemmas.Such person explain that computer technology is a special and unique technology, and hence the associated ethical issues warrant special attention. Indeed, points out that there is a need to understand the basic cultural, social, legal and ethical issues inherent in the discipline of computing. For these reasons it is imperative that as a future computer professionals are taught the meaning of responsible conduct. The inclusion of computer ethics in a professional development programme will develop in individuals, as Maner puts it, "a reasoned and principled process by which reflective moral judgements are made". It is important to be very clear as to what is being addressed by the inclusion of computer ethics for the use of the term "ethical dilemmas" can be misleading. It is pointed out that it is not necessary that a dilemma should have an unwelcome conclusion; but from the use in rhetoric the word has come to mean a situation in which each of the alternative courses of action leads to some unsatisfactory consequence. This misconception must be countered by a precise definition of the professional development programme. Constantly the objectives of the professional development programme within computing should include: an introduction to the responsibilities for their profession, articulating the standards and methods used to resolve non-technical ethics questions about their profession, developing some proactive skills to reduce the likelihood of future ethical problems.
