According to Google, the guide is “a step-by-step guided tour of some existing privacy and security controls in Chrome” that lets Chrome users adjust all their important settings from a centralized location. Adding a few hand-holding precautions is a move reminiscent of Apple’s decision to reconfigure their privacy settings a few years ago: Google’s working to help the average user gain a better understanding of how to remain secure and keep their data private in the modern age....

The slow economic recovery is nothing short of frustrating. Business owners, job seekers, college students, and even the happily employed are all being impacted. But it seems as if there’s nothing a single person can do to benefit a turnaround — or is there? A Word Of Mouth Solution The jobs are out there; they’re just not being filled. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 3.6 million job openings this past December....
Originally published in June 2013 of the Business Horizon Quarterly by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Bradshaw’s post is updated to reflect additional thoughts and experiences in the past one-and-a-half years.

It’s no secret that new technologies can be a little jarring to the system. Even 3D movies have a tendency to illicit a bit of nausea in certain situations. But as a technology that is poised to take over the entertainment industry, the problem is a lot more pressing for viable companies looking to capitalize. After all, no one is going to shell out $500+ to throw up in their living room....
One of the tough parts about education is that we are dealing with human being as subjects, with all of their backgrounds and baggage. They are not lab rats whose experiences we can control 24 hours a day. They are individuals who spend certain amounts of time pursuing education and other amounts of time doing many other things. The newest caveat in education is clearly edtech. While education is an area in which change is slow to be embraced, edtech is forcing educators to re-evaluate their approach to curriculum delivery and to find new ways to evaluate the efficacy of the edtech delivery systems that now operate through the educational process....
Take LendingClub, for example. Probably the highest-profile success story in the fintech space, its founders built a smooth and intuitive platform that connects borrowers with lenders. But instead of gaining access to loan programs, the funds come from investors looking for solid returns — at much lower interest rates than a corporate bank could offer. LendingClub cuts out the middleman and uses data science to assess risk, credit ratings and interest rates to create a lending marketplace like none other....

Now I thought that wasn’t possible – I thought I’d met everyone – but what I’ve realized is the community’s expanding and each day more and more people become interested in the Dallas Startup world. I feel like Hugh Grants “You met everyone on the planet” quote from Two Weeks Notice would fit appropriately here. We approached three amazing connectors in the Dallas community and asked them how they’ve mastered the art of connecting in the Dallas startup community....

But for one tweet, I might not be writing this article. Two years ago, as I was struggling to transition into a writing career, I tweeted to a popular tech magazine about a freelance article I wanted to submit. They never responded, but my current boss did. He saw the tweet – he must have been following that magazine – and sent me a message, letting me know that he was hiring writers....
Hyperloop One announced yesterday that they have opened Metalworks, a manufacturing plant in Northern Las Vegas, to start production on their revolutionary mode of transportation. The 105,000 square foot facility will be used to build components for the DevLoop, the first testbed for the Hyperloop platform. The building will also help Hyperloop One address some of the more pressing engineering issues that come with this kind of technological advancement. As the blog post puts it, they could not be more excited about the new facility....
The premise of the article is correct – if you aren’t amplifying content using video you’re missing out on a huge opportunity. However, you probably already know this. What you probably don’t know is how to create video content that actually gets viewed. If you craft perfect, insight loaded, visually stunning videos but they aren’t generating engagement, it’s a waste of your time and money. So how exactly do you get more views on your videos?...
Across every startup ecosystem I’ve seen, it seems to me that there’s only one real way to help startup ecosystems mature: investors need to lose their egos, and founders need to gain some confidence. This applies to any startup ecosystem outside Silicon Valley — both in the US and internationally. Early-stage investors are increasingly useless for anything other than money or introductions My last exit was in 2009 (read: 2009 was pretty much the last time I was actually in the trenches)....

Blackboard’s stakeholders are looking to sell. Their majority owner, private equity firm Providence Equity Partners LLC, has recently hired Deutsche Bank AG and Bank of America Corp to run an auction for the company. There is a bit of mystery surrounding this potential sale. Providence isn’t saying much, and the fact that they spent $1.64 billion to acquire Blackboard in 2011, and now want to sell it for twice that amount, raises some questions–especially since edtech is such a huge industry these days, and Blackboard was one of the pioneers....

“The growth has been phenomenal here,” venture capitalist Diane Fraiman told them. “Another interesting thing that I find is how many East Coast entrepreneurs, when they choose to start a new company, are choosing Portland. We have as much East Coast people moving out here, probably even more, than people from California. To me, that’s fascinating.” It’s not just entrepreneurs intent on building a massive business: In 2016, the area is attracting a growing number of freelancers....
