Intel launched the Compute Stick, Raspberry PI is sort of in the space, Asus has the Chromebit, and Lenovo the IdeaCentre Stick 300. Each of these devices have their own unique qualities, some turning TVs into computers or smart TVs, other’s acting as an extremely affordable Windows 10 desktop computer. For the Kangaroo, it sort of falls outside of each because it one-ups each of these in several ways. The Kangaroo Pro is: great for making computing or web surfing, typical office applications, incredibly portable, priced well, and easy to use....

We met at their Seattle offices, composed of two floors connected with a sweeping “Cinderella” staircase, in an office building overlooking Puget Sound. The topics of conversation? Where Indeed is headed in 2017, how the company has highlighted the tech community’s diversity struggles, and how its internal startup Indeed Prime is revolutionizing job placements. Job Growth in Tech Is Strong, But Localized Indeed’s growth in the upcoming year aligns with the growth in jobs across the nation: They’re expanding....

According to Bankoff, content is just one aspect of the media game. The online media landscape has changed since his days at AOL, and the mere production of content – even really great content – is a bad strategy when you consider the constant changes taking place online. There are also stark differences between the consumption of online content versus in print content, so you have to adapt to those....

Think of it. The guest posting tsunami is down and gone for good. And we are left with the embers of search engine optimisation that fail to diminish. Semantic distances, open graph tags, schema microdata and so much more remain to be optimised in our SEO practices. I am glad to have revisited these pointers, and gotten my fresher days in content marketing back. Well, almost. And so much more!...

Speaking on which roles within the company are currently in high demand, Knop stated that tech and data skills were key to building a stronger, more resilient workforce, and that as the digital roles in business structures are increasingly connected, the impact and risk of cybersecurity attacks are bigger than ever. It’s a message that has been repeated time and time again by major corporations, as we see more and more of them fall foul of hacks....

Kreb eventually took his passion for security and launched his blog KrebsonSecurity. Today, it is regarded as one of the top in-depth investigative security resources online. Kreb’s success didn’t happen overnight, it took consistency, engagement, and expertise to gain a large following. Today, the same ingredients apply to building a successful blog, but it’s going to take more than a catchy name and a few posts. While the passion for his industry is there, building a successful blog takes planning....

It’s safe to say that we’ve gotten used to data leaks and security snafus when it comes to the digital world, but that doesn’t make them any less of a serious problem. And while the online dating scene is sketchy enough on its own, the threat of poor online security makes it a whole lot worse. How Bad Is the Leak? The leak, which was discovered by security researcher Jeremiah Fowler, is pretty bad, consisting of 42....

Superfeedr’s site terms them a “powerful unified Feed API [that] simplifies how you handle RSS, Atom, or JSON feeds.” They’ll continue supporting all their previous commitments. Superfeedr announced the buy on their own company blog — hosted on Medium, of course — and they already have an major change: Thanks to that API, Medium now offers full content RSS feeds both for users and for publications. This tweak should please major curators hoping to comb through Medium at a faster rate: Jason Hirschhorn, founder of curation company REDEF, tweeted a complaint about Medium’s lack of RSS just a day before the announcement....

This project, called World View Enterprises, may change the way we look at the world. Astronauts famously come back to earth talking not just about the blackness of space but about the majestic view of the earth. They see a planet without political boundaries, the home of all humans; they see the thin blue line of our atmosphere, which we’re dependent on for life. It’s a transformational experience, and Poynter and her team want to bring it to the public for $75,000....

The research came from a report by Resolution Foundation, a UK-based research company, and showed that the problem is a lot worse than people think. The numbers showed the millennials (born between 1981 and 2000) are earning approximately $10,000 less than members of generation X (born between 1961 and 1980). These numbers are even worse considering millennials will likely make $100,000 less in their entire careers compared to their older counterparts....

Smartphone apps continually update their data. When Google Maps introduced real-time traffic, it was amazing. The thing about technology is that the next best thing is always around the corner, and around that corner I discovered startup Waze, which has taken maps and navigation to the next level. Waze is available on both Android and iPhone and mashes map data with real-time contributions from the users to provide directions, diversions, and traffic incidents....

The collapse of Internet equality makes it all but impossible for entrepreneurs to compete with the big boys, and it means that the Internet as we know it could soon be controlled by a handful of players. The Comcast-Netflix Deal From a consumer point of view, this means Netflix videos will load faster for Comcast subscribers than Vimeo (if Vimeo doesn’t also have such a deal with Comcast). All of this seems to work out for the end consumer, with one exception: What if you don’t use Netflix?...

While this news has likely rocked you to your core, don’t get too excited. While you will be able to download every Netflix original series along with a huge selection of other popular shows and movies, not everything on the popular streaming site will be available to download. Notable absences include Friends, New Girl, and anything created by Disney. However, Netflix is working to lock down the rights to these shows, so keep your fingers crossed....

While enterprise businesses are often well protected from cybercriminals, smaller organizations often don’t have the resources to fend off any and every attack that comes their way. In fact, some hackers specifically target small and medium-sized businesses because of this perceived lack of protection. Fortunately, cybersecurity providers are taking notice and making an effort to provide tools that keep small and medium-sized businesses safe. NordPass will be combining with Cowbell Rx — the company’s referral marketplace — and will provide the NordPass Business platform to policy holders for 15% off....
