Keyword research, backlinking and other tried and true tactics for optimizing search results still matter. But it’s grown increasingly tough for brand and website managers to keep up with the changing factors that determine how a search engine will evaluate, then rank a particular page or piece of content in its results. But search results vary by the type of information being searched, page variables, and even the device being used, making it more and more difficult to even know whether the search intelligence you’re following is even giving you the correct SEO picture for today’s latest search changes....

Virtually any tech company can put together an Android phone and jump into the ultra-competitive smartphone market. Obviously, it isn’t easy and it would take loads of resources to make any type of serious dent, but it’s not an impossible move.

David Tinley — the Pennsylvania-based 62-year-old contract programmer in question — now faces a fine of up to $250,000, up to 10 years in prison, or both. According to court documents, Tinley offered software services to Siemens’ Monroeville, PA office for about 10 years.

But far greater challenges remain in the heat and transport sectors. Electrifying road transport will likely take longer than 2025 and more electric vehicles could cause the grid’s current electricity demand to double. This is where small island states could help. They provide the perfect proving ground for the multifaceted challenge of transitioning to a transport system that’s 100% powered by electricity. The obstacles are many. Massive infrastructure change is needed, consumer expectations have to be managed, a supportive policy structure must be shaped, and the far reaching impacts of such a transition will need careful consideration....

There’s more to being a social media expert than logging into Facebook every day or making sure you’re keeping a close eye on your Twitter mentions.

In an announcement on its website, the music service revealed it’ll start displaying blue checkmarks next to the profiles of verified creators. “We’re doing this to help well-known artists stand out and maintain their authenticity, and to help listeners identify these artists more easily,” the company said.

Starlink is SpaceX’s network of Earth-orbiting satellites, providing high-speed internet to 36 countries and counting. According to FCC International Bureau Chief Thomas Sullivan: It’s a gain for SpaceX’s Starlink system, but will make it a hell of a lot harder to blame poor internet connectivity for not replying to emails or missing deadlines. Damn. A huge win for SpaceX Starlink enables video calls, online gaming, streaming, and other high data rate activities with faster connectivity than traditional broadband satellites....

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the spin-off/sequel to the PS4 classic Spider-Man, debuting as a launch title for the PlayStation 5. Sony sent me a copy when I got my PS5 and this was the first thing I played on that big frosty beast. Just to be clear, I would recommend it anyway, because at least it’s some kind of launch title — both next-gen consoles are very lean on those....

But, as is so often the case, what could have been simply written off as a mistake grew into a series of experiments on spiders in space, yielding unexpected science. Someone needs to tell spiders about the scientific method… The experiment seemed simple enough — a pair of spiders would be allowed to live aboard the International Space Station, and researchers would look at how they adjusted to life in the microgravity environment....

As you might’ve surmised by now, it’s a thing… that you put in your car. Said ‘Thing’ is essentially a touchscreen with a big volume knob and voice controls that you can use to play Spotify music through your car’s speakers. The device also has four preset buttons at the top you can use for podcasts or playlists you regularly listen to. It also needs to connect to your phone via Bluetooth and to a power source on your car (either USB or the 12V outlet), so it’s not exactly a completely seamless experience....

Working with US Space Force and German space command, the French training drills were designed in response to the shifting global attitude towards space. According to French news outlet AFP, via Phys.Org, France’s Space Command was announced in 2019. Defense minister Florence Parly told reporters at the time that France needed to act because its “allies and adversaries” were “militarizing space.” Background: The creation of the US’ Space Force amped up world tension – or, more aptly, it amped up off-world tensions....

While the latest U.S. jobs report shows the country slowly rebounding fiscally from the COVID-19 pandemic, don’t be fooled — the job market is as fierce today as it’s ever been in our lifetimes. To land the kind of job you want these days, you’re going to have to stand out over some serious competition. Part of that means having qualifications that jump off your CV and get a hiring manager’s attention....

However, some companies forget that the customer relationship doesn’t end after they’ve made their first purchase, in fact, this is where the relationship actually begins. According to research by Riskified, a software and analysis company, not only does a third of the overall money spent online come from returning customers, but they also spend nearly three times more than one-time shoppers. To Paddy Muckian, the Irish egg farmer shown in the video above, gaining new customers and retaining old ones meant extending his shop’s opening times....

Ninja announced the shift on Twitter earlier today in a mock press conference, saying that he’s streaming on Mixer exclusively full-time, and that he’s getting “back to his roots.” He also said the streams themselves wouldn’t change — so, you know, Fortnite all day, every day. — Ninja (@Ninja) August 1, 2019 He later stated in a press release what apparently brought on this change: “As I look at the next step in my career, achieving bigger goals in the gaming industry with Mixer will allow me to have the perfect balance of opportunities and success....

For example, who among us would have guessed that the cam-modelling industry had such a huge userbase. Per the report: That’s nearly a billion new users after a year in which the platform saw more than half-a-billion. We’re talking about an industry that’s pandemic-proof. (And for good reason, there’s no safer sex than cam sex). However, despite Salt-N-Peppa’s best attempts, we’re not here to talk about sex. We’re here to talk about AI and what Stripchat calls the “the next best use case for AI....

Transmission delay is a common problem in communication that is supported by technical equipment, such as internet calling, mobile phones, video phones and conferencing systems. These are used more and more at work and for personal communication so the effect they have on our perceptions of each other is increasingly important. Our research suggests that we have a tendency to think differently of the people we are talking to if the line is bad....

Earlier today, more websites associated with OneCoin have also gone offline. Both oneacademy.eu and oneworldfoundation.eu are inactive. These websites are also placed in “server hold” status. Yesterday, reports suggested that the OneCoin.eu account was under legal investigation. At the time of writing, another website associated to the scam, Onelife.eu remains active. Towards the end of November, members of the Onecoin Talk Telegram channel were advised by a group admin to “take screenshots” of their relevant OneLife account data to create a backup....

It should probably come as no surprise these days, but if you want to elevate beyond simply having a job to having a career, learning to code might be one of the fastest ways to help get there. Computer programming is now the fastest-growing profession in the UK, with more than 600,000 developers now on the job and coding. And last year, Indeed.com found the two most in-demand jobs were as a software architect and a full-stack developer, both seriously code-heavy professions....

Things might change in a big way next year. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst with a solid track record on super-early Apple rumors, the 2020 iPhone will revert to a design more akin to the iPhone 4 (via MacRumors). The phone will supposedly be shaped like a glass sandwich with flat sides instead of the rounded design that’s been the norm since the iPhone 6. This would also lead to a more consistent aesthetic with Apple’s 2018 iPad Pro....
