Polished mobile design For businesses to be successful with mobile commerce in 2014, their websites have to be optimized for mobile devices. The importance of SEO in the mobile sphere cannot be underestimated, and businesses have to pay attention to the problem of duplication in search results. Mobile design is becoming increasingly popular as mobile commerce has taken off and users have come to expect that. Poor web design, text that is illegible, and tiny buttons that just can’t be pressed cannot be seen on mobile websites....

As Louis Hyman, Associate Professor and Director of the Institute for Workplace Studies at Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations, said in a press release about the survey: It’s By Choice Another interesting reveal from the online survey, which covered over 6,000 U.S. working adults older than the age of 18 between July 2016 and August 2016: Freelancers are increasingly choosing their vocation, rather than picking it as a last resort....

The app, which promises to “Make America Date Again”, free from “bias, judgement, or liberal intolerance”, was openly displaying the names and profile photos of its users. Worse still, this data was exposed along with “tokens for logging into people’s accounts and private messages”, according to Motherboard. So perhaps Donald Daters is a non-starter. But, what can you do to find love when the mainstream dating apps such as Tinder just can’t help you find ‘the one?...

I’ll explain why I believe these things are possible, but first a disclaimer: I’m a closet tech geek, and an Apple fan. I love gadgets, and tend to prefer those created by America’s number one-tech company. Nevertheless, my enthusiasm is tempered by a modest amount of skepticism and paranoia. I routinely ask myself, “Is this one step closer to the singularity?” and “Will this new product further erode my privacy?...

That’s because, in the context of a fictional story, I can completely understand why somebody might think this. You see, most stories are built on similar foundations – each that you read, see, or listen to has archetypal elements in common with every other story written, filmed, or told. We’re familiar with these commonalities already, but we call them plot, scenes, and driving philosophy. However, chief among these common threads are the archetypal characters: you simply can’t have a story without characters....

First, let’s start with the question “what is the Dallas startup community?” Here’s what it is: It’s an expansive and tightly knit network of local entrepreneurs and supporting organizations that tirelessly help one another to advance Dallas/Forth Worth and raise the region’s economic prosperity. How do we achieve this? Here are a few examples: March 2015’s inaugural Dallas Startup Week (#DSW15). – Dallas Startup Week, part of UP Global, is a national conference put on by leading startup cities to showcase, educate and bring together their respective communities....

It therefore begs the question, who is responsible when things go wrong: the vehicle manufacturer, developers, surgeons or people operating robots, or the software engineers? It is something that has been debated by the BBC, particularly looking at the healthcare and medical sector. We all take technology for granted, who can remember the days before their smartphone or sat nav, which perhaps frighteningly wasn’t that long ago. However, it seems nobody has really given any thought and consideration to the legal implications if things go wrong....

When it goes well, though, when you make it then there are few things as rewarding as knowing you’ve succeeded when others have failed, and that all the effort and struggle has paid off and was ultimately worth it. That’s the end goal. If you’re looking for that edge, though, that final push to get you there a little bit faster and truly become successful then maybe, just maybe you need to grow a beard....

But technology is driving this industry forward. This has led to the rise of LeadCrunch, which is a tool that uses artificial intelligence in order to generate the hottest leads. And marketers must consider artificial intelligence because it has the potential to completely change the way businesses find customers. The Need The biggest disadvantage that businesses have when targeting people is that they aren’t sure whether someone is truly interested in what they have to offer....

Well, fast forward six years, and Salamon found himself working for Bazaarvoice – they had just gone public actually. As the company’s third employee hire, Salamon could look back and see the rise of the company’s entire journey as he was trying to figure out what to do next with his life: does he stay or strike out on a bold new path? During a Woody Allen Band concert at the Carlyle Hotel with Bauer, Salamon brought up that he was perhaps looking for something new in his career....

Origins of Words Origins of those new words differ. In the past, they were mostly borrowed from other languages or naturally evolved from ancestral languages. Nowadays, when we have these huge opportunities for communication and learning, words rarely travel between specific language groups. However, thanks to the same opportunities, provided by technological progress, we’ve created a worldwide community, “people of the internet”, that has its own dialect and is now a new source of words borrowing for all the languages on Earth....

One of the unexpected challenges businesses must now face? Addressing harassment within a remote working context. At a time when staff are having to conduct meetings from their own bedrooms, it’s never been more important to ensure that employees feel they have a safe space in which to work, and a robust framework for reporting incidents. We speak to the founder of #NotMe, an app for reporting misconduct in the workplace, to learn more about the insidious risk of harassment culture creeping into the home-working environment....

However, when Moley Robotics uses those words, it actually refers to something completely different. This company based in London has recently launched a Seedrs crowdfunding campaign, seeking funding to launch its main product: the world’s first fully-automated and intelligent cooking robot. Having our own personal topnotch chef, such as Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver, is something only imaginable in our dreams. But Moley Robotics wants to make it a reality, by developing an amazingly piece of technology that is able to reproduce the movements of human hands and, therefore, cook anything a human chef can....

Morrison argues that while it certainly makes sense to kill two birds with one stone – again, taking into consideration the limitations with which startups operate – he stresses the importance of recognizing the differences between UI and UX. For many startups, the intentions associated with hiring a UX/UI designer focus on the notion that the person will take into consideration both UI and UX in his or her designs; for Morrison, he sees this as a fairly weak argument – he says that every good designer regardless of their focus will take UI and UX into consideration, the problem he sees is that inevitably that UX/UI designer will focus more one aspect and less on the other....

How Do Browser Plugins Go Bad? Extensions and plugins are built by tech-savvy individuals, which means that you need to be able to trust that they have done so for an altruistic or legal business purpose. Unfortunately, the fact that almost 1 million new types of malware are created and released into the Internet every single day conclusively proves that many people do not have your best interests in mind when they offer browser add-ons....

If you’re interested in taking a look at what these companies are up to, read their wildly interesting, albeit a tad science-y, descriptions below and make sure to click on their websites, as they’re filled with more neurological jargon and awesome pictures of their revolutionary tech: BrainCo BrainCo specializes in mind-machine interface wearables. The company currently develops three products, the Focus EDU, the Focus Family and the Lucy Series.

But there’s no more tightly-knit group than the marching band kids, right? After finishing an accelerator, you join that illustrious group of entrepreneurs who have survived it. Accelerators may all be different, but there are certain universal truths that graduates know. “Remember that one time during the accelerator?” Why yes, yes they do. Here are 17 things only accelerator graduates understand: “You can live on corn nuts, pizza, and tea for a surprisingly long time....

Whether it was because of sexual harassment claims or simply because the time had come, these CEOs did what they had to do by stepping down and handing the reigns over to someone new. Take a look at some of the recent step downs in 2017: Yancey Strickler, CEO of Kickstarter As the most recent exit on the list, Strickler was the last remaining cofounder of Kickstarter that was still in a meaningful role....

Here’s a look at the three design principles that entrepreneurs can rely on in order to figure out their own unique revenue model. The Principles Your business model must be desirable, viable, and feasible. To find out if it is, ask yourself three questions: Do people want it? Can it make money? Can I build it? Applied to your revenue model, these three principles will help you start with a service, product or even just an area of expertise, and then layer a source of revenue on top of it....
