In what ways might this be problematic?

In the fast-paced personal computer industry, it would be very
tempting for a computer company to rush a new product to market
without taking the time to solicit customer input and feedback
during the product development cycle. To avoid this temptation and
to highlight its commitment to customer satisfaction, Apple
Computer has developed a program called Customer Quality Feedback
(CQF). CQF is a hands-on program that enables Apple engineers to
communicate with potential end users during the entire development
cycle of an Apple product. The program integrates many of the
features of a focus group, but is sustained on an ongoing basis. It
is also a very substantive and useful tool for Apple because it
keeps the company attuned to the needs, preferences, and desires of
its end users. For people interested in participating in the
program, Apple has posted an application form on its Web site. The
application form is fairly comprehensive and outlines the terms and
conditions of participation. Although the program is open to
anyone, it is clear that Apple wants well-informed participants who
will stick with the program. Participants are selected based on
their interest, ability to provide timely information, commitment
to working with Apple personnel, and the suitability of their
computing environment as it relates to Apple’s current needs. Once
selected, the participants become an integral part of the
development process
for the products they are evaluating. They are provided early
prototypes of Apple products and are asked to provide feedback
pertaining to the product’s features, interaction with employees,
ease of use, performance, compatibility with third-party software,
and other topics. The participants are also asked to provide
suggestions as the product development cycle matures. The
information provided by the participants is fed directly to the
Apple engineers who are developing and testing the products. The
overriding objective of the program is to incorporate customer
input into the development of Apple products before they are
shipped, rather than waiting for customers to react to the
company’s products after they are made available for sale. Prior to
a product launch, the CQF participants involved with the product
are asked to write testimonials about their input into the
product’s final design. These testimonials are used by Apple to
demonstrate to other potential end users how Apple incorporates
user feedback into the design and development of its products.
Apple’s CQF program is a good example of a proactive approach to
satisfying customer needs. It is also evidence of the company’s
willingness to “listen to the voice of the customer” in its product
development and design. These are important steps in the
development of a customer-driven approach to quality.
Question1:Explain how Apple’s Customer Quality Feedback program helps the firm hear the voice of the customer.
Question2:If you were an Apple user, would you enjoy participating in the Customer Quality Feedback program? Why or why not?

Fleming, a publicly held company, and several officers of the company, were sued by various stockholders for securities fraud for filing documents that were materially misleading. The stockholders contended that information failed to discuss litigation lost by Fleming that resulted in a damage award of $200 million, which led to the company's stock falling by about 25%. The stock pricer recovered some after part of the trial verdict was set aside, and Fleming settled the case by paying $20 million. Stockholders contended that failure to fully reveal the risks of that litigation caused losses to investors in Fleming stock. The district court dismissed the suit because the plaintiffs failed to show that Fleming made deliberate and materially misleading statements of omissions. Stockholders appealed.

Write a program compare.cpp that asks the user to input two dates (the beginning and the end of the interval). The program should check each day in the interval and report which basin had higher elevation on that day by printing “East” or “West”, or print “Equal” if both basins are at the same level.
Example:
$ ./compare Enter starting date: 09/13/2018 Enter ending date: 09/17/2018 09/13/2018 West 09/14/2018 West 09/15/2018 West 09/16/2018 West 09/17/2018 West
Explanation:
Date | East (ft) | West (ft) | |
---|---|---|---|
09/13/2018 | 581.94 | 582.66 | West is higher |
09/14/2018 | 581.8 | 582.32 | West is higher |
09/15/2018 | 581.62 | 581.94 | West is higher |
09/16/2018 | 581.42 | 581.55 | West is higher |
