Intel is jumping into cloud gaming with the new Xeon E3-1200v3 chips, which are the company's first server processors based on the Haswell microarchitecture.
Intel wants to match PC battery life with that of tablets through its new dual-core fourth-generation Core processors code-named Haswell.
The seesaw mobile processor battle between ARM and Intel continued at Computex, with ARM claiming it offered better performance per watt for mobile devices than Intel's upcoming chips.
ARM is targeting mid-range smartphones and tablets priced between US$200 and $350 with a new low-power Cortex-A12 processor the company announced Monday at the Computex trade show in Taiwan.
PCs that are cooler, smaller and faster were announced by computer makers Sunday in advance of Computex, with the new machines featuring Intel's speedier fourth-generation Core processors code-named Haswell.
Intel officially introduced its latest Core microprocessor technology on Saturday. Code-named "Haswell," the new CPUs address the PC industry's need for higher-performing parts that consume even lower amounts of power.
After months of teasers, Intel kicked off shipments of fourth-generation Core processors code-named Haswell, with the first batch being quad-core chips for laptops and desktops.
Intel's upcoming Atom tablet chip code-named Bay Trail will be repurposed for use in the company's Celeron and Pentium chips for entry-level laptops, desktops and all-in-ones, Intel said on Friday.
Want to find out what's next in smartphones, tablets and PCs? The latest trends in hardware will be on display at the giant Computex trade show, which kicks off in Taipei next week.
Taiwan's MediaTek has launched a new quad-core ARM processor for tablets that is slated to be used in an upcoming IdeaTab device from Lenovo.
Advanced Micro Devices had no plans to release low-power x86 server chips until the release of its ARM-based servers in 2014, but sagging server fortunes have changed the company's direction.
Looking at historical trends and performance benchmarks, a team of researchers in Spain have concluded that smartphone chips could one day replace the more expensive and power-hungry x86 processors used in most of the world's top supercomputers.
Intel's upcoming family of Core processors, code-named Haswell, will offer 50 percent more battery life in laptops than did their "Ivy Bridge" predecessors, Intel said on Thursday.
Intel's upcoming family of Core processors, code-named Haswell, will offer 50 per cent more battery life in laptops than did their Ivy Bridge predecessors, according to the company.
Advanced Micro Devices hopes to regain share in the PC processor market with its upcoming chips based on the Jaguar core, which will bring console-like gaming and wireless displays to laptops with Windows 8 and its successor, Windows Blue.

The event will be held on April 21, 2012, from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., at Public School 87's playground located on West 77th, just east of Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10024.
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 12, 2012
Sims Recycling Solutions, the global leader in electronics reuse and recycling, will host a free electronics recycling event with Upper West Side Recycling Center, Inc. (UWSRC) and the office of New York City Council Member Gale Brewer to encourage the community to recycle their electronics. UWSRC, which will celebrate its 40th anniversary this spring, is the last of the community-based recycling centers that grew out of the first Earth Day in 1970 to still be in operation.
All items brought for recycling will be safely and responsibly recycled by Sims Recycling Solutions. The event will be held on April 21, 2012, from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., at Public School 87’s playground located on West 77th, just east of Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10024. This site will be one of five involved in an attempt to break an official Guinness World Record for the most consumer electronics recycled within 24 hours - multiple locations.
“The celebration of Earth Day is the ideal time for each of us to renew our commitment to care for the planet. This community electronics collection event offers the residents of New York City an easy way to act on that commitment by simply dropping off broken or old devices. They can also be a part of an exciting attempt to break a Guinness World Record,” stated Steve Skurnac, President, Sims Recycling Solutions, Americas. “While the goal of this one-day event is to collect a record-breaking number of electronic devices, the broader objective of this campaign is to raise awareness about the ongoing importance of properly recycling e-waste. By recycling end-of-life electronics, we all have the opportunity to contribute to a sustainable future and create a healthier world for everyone.”
New York City Council Member Gale Brewer asked, "Can the West Side help break the 24-hour World Record for e-waste recycling this Earth Day weekend? I have high hopes.
Brewer continued, “Last year was our biggest day ever, thanks to our neighbors at Upper West Side Recycling, who have been at it for 40 years, and Sims Recycling Solutions. We should be proud that New York is a recycling leader. The Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act of 2010 requires manufacturers to collaborate with groups like Sims and UWSR to responsibly recycle electronic waste. I urge all West Siders to join me and thousands of their neighbors on April 21, 2012. Empty those closets, join us on Earth Day, and let's see if we can break that world record."
This e-waste collection event will be set up as a drive-through and drop-off event. Staff will be on hand to conveniently and quickly collect items from community members’ vehicles. Please visit us.simrecycling.com/EarthDay2012 for more information.
Sims Recycling Solutions can accept computers (desktops and laptops), computer monitors, printers, televisions, mobile telephones, computer cables, mice, keyboards, fax machines, MP3 players, PDAs, video game consoles, video cassette recorders and players, DVD and CD players, or similar video devices, zip drives and scanners.

A New Internet On The Way
Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the World Wide Web, is sick of how Big Tech and social media companies have corrupted his child. And most disgusting for Berners-Lee, is the recent and unecessary eruption of censorship.
He’s building a brand new version of the internet, where you are in control of all your personal data, far away from the sinister fingers of manipulative corporations, such as Google, Facebook, Apple and Twitter. The “Right Angle” triumvirate of Bill Whittle, Stephen Green and Scott Ott give their impressions of the new revelation.ARVE Error: need id and provider

Stolen!, the app that let you buy and sell Twitter users in a fictional exchange, has been taken off the App Store by its developers due to privacy concerns.
“The app is no longer available in the App Store,” the Stolen! team tweeted Thursday afternoon. “We’ve heard everyone’s concerns and have decided the best thing to do is to shut down.”
This comes in the wake of an earlier article in The Guardian in which journalist Leigh Alexander called Stolen! “a privacy minefield.”
Even congress got into the act, with Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA) sending a letter to both Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Apple CEO Tim Cook recommending Stolen! be shut down.
The app used Twitter data to let Stolen! users “own” people’s profiles, kind of like we all did when we bought, sold and traded baseball cards as kids. Unfortunately, the app let this happen without any consent from the people being “bought” or “sold” in the game. The “owners” could write whatever they want on your “trading card.” Kind of disgusting on the face of it, really.
While a late addition allowed Twitter users to opt out of being pulled into the Stolen! app, it required a DM to the Stolen! account and proof that you were who you claimed to be, which really set people off. As of the last hour or so, Stolen! was offering refunds for any in-app purchases via the iTunes process already in place.
Above and beyond basic privacy issues, this sort of activity can be terrifying for those in the public eye, like female journalists who already have enough trolling to contend with. As Alexander points out in the Guardian piece, Gadgette’s Holly Brockwell and TheNextWeb’s Lauren Hockenson were both freaked out when they found out they’d been “owned.”
A simple opt-in feature could have kept this problem under the radar, but when you allow anyone to “own” people without their consent, you get into an entirely new territory, as the Stolen! folks found out today.
Here’s hoping they fix the problem and figure out a way to make it right. For now, the app is no longer available on the App Store, and the Stolen! app’s website is down as well.

"Cheapest 4G-LTE data rates the world has ever seen." India will shortly have more 4G connection that the U.S. has people (317M.) China already does. In a few years, Indians with 4G phones will probably number more than the combined population of Western Europe and the United States. This is a very different Internet.
Mukesh Ambani spent $20B on the network across India. He intends to get 100M users as soon as possible. The other telcos are dropping prices to match or going out of business. India has 12 wireless carriers competing, but many think that will quickly come down to 4 or 5. Telenor is the latest to give up.
Everything is free until December 31. If $7.40 is too much, you can buy one gig for $0.74 on a day pass.
Promotion is massive, including top Bollywood stars.
Many new phones in India come with a free Reliance Jio SIM. Calls are free across India, eliminating the roaming charges others demand. His LYF phones start at $45. Reviews say they are fine. Jio is over 3M customers in what's officially still a "trial" but this is open to everyone. I can't get through to his website as I write this - maybe he'll be at 4M in a few days.
In July I wrote, "Most prices will be under $10, putting to shame the Europeans and especially the Americans. They have a line of smartphones costing from $45 to $300, taking advantage of the latest cost-reduced or more powerful components. The worldwide slump in phone sales this year has brought component prices to new lows. Everyone from Qualcomm to Sony to memory makers geared up for continued sales growth. Jio is buying chips from three different suppliers to get great prices.
This is already one of the world's largest networks, covering a population of over 800M. They have built 250,000 kilometers of fiber so have essentially unlimited backhaul capacity. They are part owners of the 55 terabit Bay of Bengal Gateway undersea fiber. BBG connects Mumbai and Chennai to both Singapore and the Persian Gulf, meeting numerous routes around the world. Wavelengths are 100 gigabits."
Xavier Niel's 20 euro offer in France is starting to look overpriced.
I was able to anticipate today's announcement because the Indian press, especially the Economic Times, has been reporting in depth.

News out of the Microsoft camp this morning is not good. The One’s streaming service to Twitch.tv has been delayed to the first part of 2014. According to Microsoft representatives:
“We are working to make sure the initial Twitch on Xbox One broadcasting experience meets the expectations of the Twitch community.”
With Twitch being flooded with new PlayStation 4 streams, as well as many articles published about what isn’t working (such as streams not being archived), or what features have not been implemented, it is curious as to what is delaying the One’s broadcasting ability.
The ability to broadcast gameplay is different from watching the Twitch.tv app. So while broadcasting ability is delayed, users can still access Twitch to view other’s streams.
Microsoft intends on releasing information as soon as the Twitch.tv broadcasting is ready, but estimates at the moment are not until the first part of 2014. With less than 3 days counting down to Xbox One’s American release on Friday, this news could be a devastating blow for those who pre-ordered and possibly could dent sales for those who have not pre-ordered but was going to camp out in the hopes of receiving the new console.

As we enter the final phase in the countdown to Android P's public release, an intriguing new twist is becoming increasingly apparent: More than any Android release before it, Android P is first and foremost about Google's Android phones.
That, my friends — to put it lightly — is a pretty seismic shift.
We first got a whiff of this new reality back at the Google I/O developers' conference in May, when Google Engineering VP Dave Burke made the following disclaimer ahead of unveiling some of Android P's most prominent changes:
You'll find these improvements on any device that adopts Google's version of the Android UI, such as Google Pixel and Android One devices.
It was a casual aside — easy enough to ignore amidst the day's other attention-attracting announcements. But it might actually be the most monumental Android P development of all. And to be clear, we're not just talking about things like Google's default home screen design here. We're talking about integral, system-level-like elements such as the new Android gesture navigation system and the dramatically updated app-switching interface. These are core, defining elements of the operating system and elements that have traditionally existed as part of the OS itself.
With Android P, it appears they're leaving those confines — and that transition may be more significant than anything else Android P provides.
Now, hang on — before we go any further, let's get one thing straight: On some level, Android OS development has been at least partially about Google's self-controlled phones for quite some time. Samsung and other manufacturers have long meddled with the Android interface and disregarded Google's direction in order to do their own things, so the visual changes introduced with each new release have often ended up being relevant primarily for Pixel, Android One, and (in the past) Nexus devices.
But this time, something's different. With Android P, you see, once core-system-level functions seem to have been pulled out of Android itself and put directly into the Pixel Launcher — Google's device-specific launcher app for its Pixel phones. Such an arrangement appears to be the case with both the gesture nav system and the new app-switching interface mentioned above (and thus also with Android P's new Overview-based Smart Selection and App Actions features — features that, as of last week's third beta release, are explicitly being framed as exclusives not just for the Pixel line but for the Pixel 2 phones specifically).
And yes, Google has slowly but surely been pulling pieces out of Android and putting them into standalone apps for several years now. What's different here, though, is that the pieces in question aren't being put into broadly available Play Store apps that'll be preinstalled on or at least available for any phone; they're being bundled in with a Pixel-specific entity created for and limited to Google's own self-made products.
Whereas the previous deconstruction of the operating system was done in the name of faster updates to those elements for everyone, in other words, this bit of unbundling seems to be more about restricting access to the elements so that they're available only for those who use Google's Android phones. And beyond that, the elements involved here are incredibly foundational — one might even say defining — features of the software.
If Android P's gesture nav system and app-switching UI do indeed end up being Pixel exclusives (or even Pixel and Android One exclusives) — and assuming they end up being activated by default eventually, if not immediately — Google's Android phones could effectively exist as their own mini-nations within the greater Android ecosystem. We're not talking about different "skins" and presentations of the same basic elements here, as has often been the case in the past. We're talking about a wildly different system for getting around your phone — one of the most distinctive parts of the Android experience.
(There is, of course, another way this could play out: It's possible that Google might not limit all of the elements specifically to its Pixel or Pixel and Android One devices; it might instead use some of them as a carrot to entice companies to adopt its implementation of Android in order to get the "complete" Android P package for their devices. That'd be an equally noteworthy pivot, if so, and could essentially be a step toward turning those phones into Android-One-like extensions of the Google Android family.)
Now, don't get me wrong: An operating system update is about much more than the surface-level stuff. Heck, there's an argument to be made that the underlying performance improvements, security enhancements, and other under-the-hood elements are actually more important than any of the interface-level pieces. (And we can't forget about all the API-related changes, either — many of which serve to expand what third-party apps on the platform are able to do.) But as you and I both know, most typical users don't actively think about or notice those sorts of changes.
The changes they do notice — and the ones that make for the most attention-grabbing bullet points surrounding a new OS release — are those that relate to the user interface and its most visible or foundational functions. And with Android P, it's looking like the most prominent of those progressions may be less about Android as a whole and more about Google's Android devices.
Given Google's ongoing shift toward focusing on itself over any other entity as an ecosystem, that sure seems significant.

Washington: US President Donald Trump has said that he is prepared to impose tariffs on virtually all Chinese imports to the US as the trade war between the world’s two largest economies intensified.
“We have the right to do another $325 billion at 25 per cent in additional tariffs. That is a tremendous amount of money that would come into our country. I have not made that decision yet,” Efe news quoted Trump as saying to reporters while welcoming Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to the White House on Monday.
Trump’s comments came hours after China increased from 10 per cent to 25 per cent the tariffs it levied last year. (IANS)

SINGAPORE -- Economic conditions in Sri Lanka are growing worse. The Sri Lankan rupee has fallen sharply as inflation picks up. Funds have been flowing out of the country, leading to a sharp decline in its international creditworthiness, as with Turkey. The world is becoming increasingly wary of signs of such prolonged inflation, and turbulence in financial markets is already beginning to appear.

I just wanted to point out some past TCPA related lawsuits for Robocalls, Unsolicited Text Messages and even Fax Messages. As we’re all aware by now the TCPA specifically states that a brand or company needs to gain ‘Express Written Consent” from an individual before sending them any sort of marketing communication.
In one of the cases, the debt collection agency Select Resources Group was sending debt collection-related communications. These were apparently robocalls. However in this particular case the plaintiff’s cellular phone provider was billing the plaintiff for these ‘robocall-style communications’.

Although it comes as no shock that retailers sincerely want to comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Federal Communication Commission’s rules in this area have actually led to an increase in litigation — and businesses of any kind want to reduce risk here.
What to do? A Mobile Marketing Association webinar will provide both answers and insight. The webinar — “FCC Proposes New TCPA Laws – What Every Retailer Needs to Know About The Telephone Consumer Protection Act” — is set for Wednesday, August 5 from 1 to 2 p.m. (CDT).
It’s especially timely.

Mark your calendars for July 14th. On that date, the Mobile Marketing Association will help present a compelling webinar that marketing and advertising professionals can’t afford to miss.
“Retailers face considerable challenges in complying with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA),” reads the webinar overview. “Over the last few years, the cost of non-compliance has risen dramatically due to the rapid increase in the amount of litigation around TCPA and the very large settlements associated with class action litigation.”
If you’re not familiar, just last week the FCC issued new requirements for those engaged in text and telemarketing.

There are about 600 websites that still illegally stream TV shows and movies online.
It’s a lucrative venue. A recent study by Digital Citizens Alliance (DCA) and MediaLink discovered that they took in $209 million in revenue in 2014 from ads adjacent to stolen digital content.
The study, “Good Money Still Going Bad,” notes that this is less than the $227 million from the 2013 study, but DCA attributed that to the fact that about four in 10 of those sites have been shut down or “shrunk” in the last year. Because of that, revenues for the two years is actually comparable.

As we all know SMS text messaging is a very popular and effective way to get your marketing message out to your audience. More reliable than email, text messages are read quicker than email and people tend to keep their cell phone number longer than they do any given email address. So it stands to reason that marketers should take the time to acquire a nice, clean, opt in SMS database. But some Marketers that begin collecting SMS databases really do not know the proper way to go about it. Its frustrating for businesses and marketers alike to spend time and effort collecting cell phone numbers with the hopes of sending them text messages only to find out that the way they went about collecting their data is not ‘carrier compliant’ or compliant with the new TCPA Amendment and thus reputable companies like mobileStorm cannot accept their data. So let’s go on record here and outline Best Practices and Carrier Requirements for collecting a good, opt-in SMS database.
First of all there are just a few different ‘carrier approved’ methods in which a marketer can collect an SMS database; Enter a phone number online, Click a button on a mobile webpage, Send an MO message containing an advertised keyword and Sign up at a POS location.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is moving forward its plan to give consumers more control over their personal financial data.
On Thursday, the CFPB proposed its personal financial data rights rule. The action builds upon a proposal outlined by the agency last year as part of its desire to accelerate the shift toward open banking.
“A more decentralized market structure will give consumers more control and minimize the ability for companies to take customers for granted,” said CFPB Director Rohit Chopra in a statement. “Our proposed rule builds on existing efforts in the industry today to promote decentralization.”
Under the rule, consumers would be given rights to grant third parties access to information associated with their credit card, checking, prepaid, and digital wallet accounts, with an eye toward allowing individuals to more easily switch providers. Such data access would be subject to certain conditions to ensure the data is not misused, the CFPB said, and consumers would be allowed to revoke company access to their data.
“Companies receiving data can only use it to provide the product people asked for and for nothing else,” said Chopra. “When a consumer permits their private data to be used by a company for a specific purpose, it is not a free pass for that company to exploit the data for other uses.”
The rule would require data access to be terminated after one year, absent reauthorization by the consumer.
Comments on the rule are due by Dec. 29. Should it be approved, its requirements would be implemented in phases, beginning with larger providers, the CFPB said. Community banks and credit unions with no digital interface with their customers would be exempt from the rule’s requirements.

(02/24/14) - A Mid-Michigan grocery is celebrating a milestone. Bueche's in
Flushing is now in it's one-hundredth year of business.
You'll find all the grocery store staples inside Bueche's in Flushing- but customers say there's something else here, something many stores don't have.
Brothers Chris and Denny Bueche are third generation owners. The store changed locations in 2005, but always remained rooted in tradition.
"We try to be old-fashioned and do things the same and try to be true to who we are and keep plugging along," Denny said.
That's how the Bueche's have kept their store open and successful while many other family-owned businesses have gone by the wayside. Now, the store is celebrating its centennial year.
"There's fewer of the independents around. Big Box stores do take a larger slice of the pie," Chris said.
Old photos of the early days still line the store aisles. Customers praise the family-friendly environment.
"I like the personal service here. I think everyone is so friendly and nice," said customer Theresa Pelikan.
The future of the store also looks bright, as the Bueche's head into their second century.
Bueche's also has a location in Ortonville. That one opened in 1992.

This year’s turkey dinner will cost you an extra $0.70 or 1.4% compared to last year. The average cost of a classic Thanksgiving Dinner for 10 people is $50.11 according to the American Farm Bureau Federation’s survey. The relative price stability of the turkey index mirrors the government’s Consumer Price Index for food eaten at home which increased 0.7% compared to last year.
The bird soaks up the lion’s share of the budget at 46% of the meal’s cost. The 16-pound turkey came in at $23.04 this year or $1.44 per pound. The biggest year-over-year change on a percentage basis was milk which cost decreased 13.6% year-over-year. The turkey contributed the biggest percentage and dollar increase at +6.4% and $1.39.
The average cost of a turkey dinner has hovered around $49 since 2011. This year’s survey totaled over $50 for the first time since the survey began 30 years ago.

Week In Marketing: Edible Print Ad, Live Stunt Advertisement, New Snickers and Burger King Ads, and Miss Piggy wears Kate Spade
Tot-loving Dynamic Duo
For a limited time only, fans can indulge on Burger King’s coveted Cheesy Tots and who better to announce their comeback than Napoleon Dynamite and his pal Pedro? The new 30 second TV spot utilizes the same humor as the popular 2004 film and charms its way into our hearts (and our stomachs, Burger King hopes). The main idea behind the return of the Cheesy Tots is to show Burger King’s faithful consumers that their voices have been heard and that their wishes have been answered.
Edible Print Ad
Airline food is just one of the luxuries that are often overpriced to the point where consumers have stereotyped them as ‘simply not worth it.’ JetBlue felt it was necessary to recap for the world that their snacks are all-you-can-eat and completely free. And what creative tactic did they use to promote their offer of free nourishments? Well, an edible print ad, of course. In the Saturday edition of the New York Post, JetBlue will run an advertisement that is completely safe to eat, composed of potato starch, water, vegetable oil and glycerin.
Live Stunt Advertisement
Volvo has made a name for itself in the advertising world utilizing live stunts in their advertisements and their newest one is just as adventurous and wild as the others. Utilizing a paraglider flying behind a Volvo rig, the ad displays how much handling and power the truck truly has.
A Little Competitive Spirit
Kate Spade New York will launch a new holiday campaign next week. They let slip a little preview utilizing one of fashion’s biggest divas: Miss Piggy. In this new spot, actress and fashionista Zosia Mamet runs into Miss Piggy. The two friends become fiercely competitive, as they have to top the other’s look. The banter is clever and the fashion is flawless.
Snickers Steps Back into the Ring
Snickers has decided to sponsor the WWE’s premier wrestling event, WrestleMania, for the second year in a row after cashing in the first time around. According to the WWE, Snickers netted 1.5 billion impressions across a variety of global platforms such as TV integrations, digital and social, retail activation and appearances by the wrestling superstars.

Snapchat Files for IPO

Facebook and Google strike out against ‘fake news’
Both companies announced policy changes to stop the spread of “fake news” by blocking the producers of that content from using their advertising networks.
The New York Times reported:
– Google kicked off the action when it said it would ban websites that peddle fake news from using its online advertising service.
– Facebook updated the language in its Facebook Audience Network policy, which already says it will not display ads in sites that show misleading or illegal content, to include fake news sites.
The companies’ decisions come after growing backlash toward Facebook and Twitter for perpetuating false news stories about the 2016 presidential campaign.
Study Reveals: TV Advertising Will Double by 2018
Addressable TV advertising—based on audience and demo targeting, as opposed to specific networks or programs—now reaches 42 percent of U.S. households, representing nearly $900 million in advertising spend during 2016. It’s on track to reach $2.2 billion in 2018, and its household penetration should rise to 74 percent of TV homes by 2020. According to a new Video Advertising Bureau report, all of that data talk around this year’s upfronts is paying off, to the tune of nearly $1 billion in addressable advertising spend this year. That number is likely to more than double by 2018,.
Twitter Updates Policies to Combat Harassment
Twitter has had many problems with harassment, and once again they are having to take measures to cut it from their platform. With their new features and policy, Twitter is enabling its users to mute any keywords, phrases, or conversations that they don’t want to receive notifications about. Twitter is also adding to its hateful conduct policy making it easier for users to report any person who targets people based on “race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease.” With the new policies set in place, Twitter hopes to enforce a more transparent operation and end any bullying that is present on their platform.

Miles offers customers voice instructions for activities like listening to music, trivia, social media, and even video ecards.

Media Platforms initiate campaigns to encourage voter registration
Last Tuesday was National Voter Registration Day and Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter each unveiled their own “register to vote” initiative in an attempt to get potential voters prepared and able to vote in the national, state and local elections that will take place in the next month and a half. This move is meant to encourage millennial voters who not only tend to have one of the lowest voter turnout rates among voter segments, but also comprise nearly two thirds of the following for presidential candidate accounts. The general “register to vote” ad campaign also adopted by Google and Snapchat last week is centered around the simplicity of registering and the importance of everyone making their voices heard. Additionally, Instagram is partnering with major news outlets such as CNN and CBS to increase their initiative’s reach and number of impressions.
Facebook’s Advertising week focuses on the growth of mobile and video
Facebook held their advertising conference this week to talk about their own advertising products with journalists and to discuss industry trends, mainly the massive opportunities for mobile advertising.

Facebook’s second-quarter earnings report revealed that 85% of their $6.44 billion in ad revenue came from mobile devices, yet one third of domestic small businesses don’t utilize this segment at all. Other highlights and key discussion points from the conference were Facebook’s focus of monetizing video, the need for better ad metrics, sound in autoplay videos, and the possibility of header bidding.
Tech Titans team up to take on the stigmas of Artificial Intelligence
Many giants of our modern digital world teamed up to dismiss qualms and fears regarding Artificial Intelligence and make it appear approachable and safe. Google, Facebook, Amazon, IBM and Microsoft formed this cooperative mission that has been named the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society. These tech behemoths will conduct research, suggest best practices and release all of their findings to promote fairness and transparency as a gesture of good will towards AI skeptics. A study was conducted by Time Etc early in the summer and discovered that 26% of consumers claim that they would not tryst a robot or ai-based machine with personal or professional tasks. It will be interesting to see if these five companies can comfort consumers and gain their trust for real-life versions of AI-based robots.
Google reveals that YouTube continues to gain on TV
YouTube recently released the results of a large-scale survey examining the video viewing habits among adults. The study revealed that adults are five times as likely to watch video online than they are through linear. It also showed that 92% of YouTube viewers use the video service’s mobile app while at home and that two-thirds of respondents use their mobile devices during a TV ad break. Other key YouTube updates include that viewership of television content on YouTube is up 230% since 2013 and that YouTube makes up over 50% of people’s time watching online video on television.

Google forced to pay $22million fine for 'spying on web users' - but REFUSES to admit they were wrong
- Fine is the largest in the history of the Federal Trade Commission
Google is paying a record $22.5million fine to settle allegations that it broke a privacy promise by secretly tracking millions of Web surfers who use Apple's Safari browser.
The penalty announced Thursday by the Federal Trade Commission is the largest fine imposed against a company for violating a previous agreement with the agency.
In spite of their hefty payout, Google isn't admitting any wrongdoing in the latest settlement.
Shady dealings: The fine comes as the FTC argues Google used it's cookie software to track user's information without their knowledge
They claim that the fine does not directly pertain to Google's data collection, but for misrepresenting what was happening.
Last October, Google had signed a 20-year agreement that, among other things, included a company pledge not to mislead consumers about its privacy practices.
The FTC opened its investigation into the Safari activities six months ago after a researcher at Stanford University revealed that Google had overridden Safari safeguards that are supposed to prevent outside parties from monitoring Web surfing activity without a user's permission.
The tracking occurs through snippets of computer coding, known as cookies, that help Internet services and advertisers target marketing pitches based on an analysis of the interests implied by a person's Web surfing activity.
Paying up: Google CEO Larry Page and his fellow officials deny any wrongdoing in the case but are paying the fine because they misrepresented previous findings
Google immediately withdrew its intrusive technology from Safari after the manipulation was reported.
But the circumvention of Apple's built-in settings appeared to contradict a statement in Google's online help center assuring Safari users that they didn't need to do anything more to ensure their online activities wouldn't be logged by Google.
The apparent contradiction between Google's words and actions became the focal point of the FTC investigation.
Google's fine surpasses a nearly $19million penalty that the FTC slapped on a telemarketer accused of duping people into believing they were donating to charities.
Google's stock price increased 60 cents to $642.83 in midday trading Thursday, after the FTC announcement.

Fingerprint Cards has set a date for its next corporate update: the company will deliver its Q4 results and host a conference call on January 28.
It could prove to be a particularly interesting update for a couple of reasons. One is that the Q4 and full years results for fiscal 2021 will likely shed light on a year that has continued to deliver pandemic-related disruptions. Fingerprint Cards is a leading provider of fingerprint sensors for mobile devices, and the mobile sector has been an area in which supply chain issues have been challenging over the past several months.
The conference call, meanwhile, may offer some further insights into the transformative changes underway within the company. Fingerprint Cards’ board of directors announced a strategic review of the company in July of 2021. In November, the company announced the result: that FPC would essentially split into two subsidiaries. The Fingerprint Technology Company subsidiary would be based in Shanghai, and would focus on mobile biometrics; while the Fingerprint Cards Switzerland subsidiary would be headquartered in Zug, and would carry on the work of FPC’s Payments & Access business line.
Operationally, it isn’t yet clear how this structural change has impacted Fingerprint Cards, but the company’s forthcoming conference call could help to clarify the matter. Scheduled for 9:00 a.m. CET on January 28, the call will be conducted in English, and will be hosted by Fingerprint Cards CEO Christian Fredrikson together with Per Sundqvist, the company’s Chief Financial Officer.
It’s possible that the executives will also touch on a more recent development for the company – a SEK 300 million issuance of senior secured bonds. Announced in December, the issuance was aimed at securing working capital to help FPC follow through on its “ambitious growth plans,” Fredrikson explained at the time. He also noted that both of FPC’s subsidiaries were seeing increasing demand, a propitious sign going into 2022.

The Persian-language daily `Entekhab' quoted Mohammad-Ali Karimi, the managing director of Iran's Carpet Company, as saying that Iranian carpet enterprises are far behind their competitors who are using Iranian designs with much cheaper workforce.
Karimi blamed the drop in Iran's trade of carpets on the lack of comprehensive regulations to organize the wages as well as working conditions of over two million carpet weavers throughout the country.
He said that there is no appropriate bases for the wages of Iranian carpet weavers given that they are not supported by an association.
Karimi stressed that the market of Iranian carpets can be promoted by employing an efficient management and by relying on the cooperation of investors.
He also said the fact that there are too many decision-making centers in Iran's carpet industry has severely undermined the prosperity of the industry over the past years.
Karimi also expressed hope that the recent directive by First Vice President Mohammad-Reza Aref to organize the affairs of Iran's carpet industry through a single decision-making center could boost the status of Iranian carpets in the world.
He put the annual income of Iran's carpet industry at Dlrs 500 million, stressing that Iran is trying to increase the amount by devising new strategies in the area.

Breaking up is too hard to do, says M&S chairman
By James Davey LONDON (Reuters) - The idea of splitting British retailer Marks & Spencer into two companies - one for clothing and the home, and one for food - is 'completely impractical' and not in the board's current thinking, Chairman Archie Norman said on Wednesday. The 135-year-old M&S set out on its latest transformation plan, after over a decade of false dawns, shortly after retail veteran Norman became chairman in 2017 to work alongside Chief Executive Steve Rowe, who has been with the company for 30 years and became its boss in 2016. In May last year, Norman targeted sustainable, profitable growth in three to five years and has been instrumental in speeding up the pace of change, separating the internal reporting of the clothing and home division and food business
By James Davey
LONDON (Reuters) - The idea of splitting British retailer Marks & Spencer
The 135-year-old M&S set out on its latest transformation plan, after over a decade of false dawns, shortly after retail veteran Norman became chairman in 2017 to work alongside Chief Executive Steve Rowe, who has been with the company for 30 years and became its boss in 2016.
In May last year, Norman targeted sustainable, profitable growth in three to five years and has been instrumental in speeding up the pace of change, separating the internal reporting of the clothing and home division and food business.
M&S has been closing weaker stores, revamping ranges, investing in technology, and struck a £1.5 billion joint venture with online grocer Ocado
That, and the contrasting fortunes of the two businesses - with clothing continuing to struggle while food has returned to growth - has prompted media speculation Norman could split them into two companies. The spun-off part could be listed separately or could be attractive to a buyer.
"That's not our plan," said Norman, who made his name turning round supermarket group Asda in the 1990s before selling it to Walmart
"We should just remember that there are very strong sinews that join the businesses together, that make the idea of taking the division too far today completely impractical," he told reporters after M&S reported a 17% fall in first half profit, hurt by falling clothing sales.
Norman explained that most of the profit in both businesses was made in combined stores. Both businesses share a store's back entrance, its stock room and store manager, while shop floor staff move between the two and share the same culture.
M&S's core systems architecture is also shared between the two operations, as is data and marketing.
"These are completely congruent businesses," he said.
Norman has high hopes for the venture with Ocado. He reckons it could help double the size of M&S's food business and also help grow deliveries of general merchandise.
But for those who think a split is still the answer to M&S's woes, Norman did add: "Nothing is forever."

By Chuck Mikolajczak NEW YORK (Reuters) - A gauge of global stocks hit a record and oil prices jumped on Monday as the newest positive data for a potential COVID-19 vaccine and signs of economic recovery in Asia boosted sentiment. U.S. stocks advanced, with the Dow Industrials setting a record as it neared the 30,000 mark for the first time, after pharma company Moderna said its prospective vaccine was 94.5% effective in preventing the illness, which has crushed economies across the globe
By Anirban Sen and Joshua Franklin (Reuters) - Airbnb Inc's initial public offering (IPO) registration showed on Monday that the home rental startup turned a profit in the third quarter despite the COVID-19 pandemic, as it gears up for one of the most anticipated stock market debuts in recent years. The filing, published ahead of Airbnb's anticipated stock market debut in December, showed a dramatic recovery in its fortunes, after the coronavirus outbreak dragged down its core home rental business during the first half of the year. The slump forced it to lay off 25% of its workforce in May, suspend marketing activities for the year and seek $2 billion (£1.5 billion) emergency funding from investors, including Silver Lake and Sixth Street Partners, at a valuation of $18 billion
By David Lawder WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Joe Biden said on Monday the United States needed to negotiate with allies to set global trading rules to counter China's growing influence but declined to say whether he would join a new China-backed Asian trade pact signed on Sunday.

In February 2013, Opera Software announced that it had passed the 300m monthly users milestone across its web browsers for phones, tablets, TVs and computers.
At the same time, it sprang a surprise by revealing that it was switching from its own Presto rendering engine to the WebKit engine that's familiar from other mobile browsers.
The company said at the time that the switch would eliminate duplication of efforts: its engineers could focus less on trying to match WebKit features in Presto, and more on other improvements to Opera's browsers.
I sat down with Opera's web evangelist Bruce Lawson at Mobile World Congress to talk more about this, but also about the wider mobile trends that have been driving Opera's growth, and the debate around web standards and native apps.
"When I joined four and a half years ago, we hadn't got to 100m users. Now there are 300m," he said. "That's big growth, particularly in uncertain economic times. The financials have been good, and the industry has been changing all the time."
There have been surprises along the way. For example, the Opera Mini browser, which Lawson says was originally seen as a product for the developing world, turned out to be a big hit with Western smartphone owners as well.
"The one thing a farmer in rural Bangladesh has with a businessman in Barcelona is shit and expensive connectivity!" he said. "Both ends of the spectrum have the same needs, in that sense."
Mobile has been part of Opera's bigger vision around the importance of web standards and interoperability, which Lawson noted is much more a fact of life now, rather than being seen as an "esoteric" campaign.
"These days, my missus uses Internet Explorer at work, Safari on her iPhone and Opera on the home computer. It's inconceivably stupid if, for example, your bank's website will only work on one or two of those browsers," he says.
"It's not an esoteric thing about web everywhere. It's just a rubbish consumer experience. People expect that their websites will work across modern browsers, and it really is a crusty old website that doesn't do that."
The standards war is won, then? Perhaps not. In a blog post on his personal website at the time of the WebKit announcement, Lawson explained how the debate has shifted:
"The web needs to win. Browsers are highly interoperable, because all vendors know that if they're not, they risk being overtaken by proprietary platforms. It used to be Flash and Silverlight that threatened the web. Today's threats are proprietary app platforms and locked-in 'eco-systems'. Tomorrow, new threats will rise."
At MWC, Lawson told me how he sees the rise of "devices that you can't install other things on" as problematic – or at least devices where the manufacturer (e.g. Apple) sets the rules on what can and can't be installed.
Opera, of course, does have its Opera Mini browser available on iOS, albeit conforming to Apple's rules on browser apps that compete with its own Safari.
And now WebKit, which powers that very browser. Lawson is enthusiastic about the implications of the switch for Opera and its 300m users.
"WebKit is the kind of thing we dreamed of building," he said. "It adheres very well to modern standards: it's generally an excellently standards-compliant browser. And there are diverse organisations involved, with the small players playing an increasingly important role."
Competing rendering engines, and the impact felt when a company like Opera switches from one to another, are important issues for web developers. Less so for internet users (whether mobile or not) who are choosing between browsers on other criteria.
"When you buy a car, you don't tend to ask who made the gearbox. If you're a long-distance sales rep, you might choose the car based on how comfortable it is to sit in four hours a day," said Lawson.
"If you're a petrolhead, you're interested in its nought-to-60 time. If you live in a city, you might be much more concerned with fuel consumption. Each of these people have different criteria, and they're largely not about who manufactured the engine."
In other words, switching to WebKit will enable Opera to focus on making more innovative features to follow its speed dials and data compression technology, among others.
"If you're an engineer spending all of your time coding in order to duplicate something another guy already implemented in another rendering engine, the novelty palls," said Lawson.
"If you're an engineer and someone asks 'Would you like to do some cool shit, and here's lots of resources to do it', you're going to be a lot happier. Adopting WebKit has freed up loads of the cleverest people in the company to think about those things."
Lawson said that Opera won't keep all this innovation to itself. The company contributed a small "symbolic" patch to WebKit on the day of its announcement, and will be adding others in the months to come.
Do regular mobile users care about the web standards debate? Which sounds like a rude question, but isn't meant as such: it certainly affects them and their usage of devices, but do they understand why Lawson and his peers see it as so important?
"If you talk about people who care about, say, Ubuntu being open and about open source, they're not consumers. Those are mega nerds and I'm proud to be one!" he said.
"If you mean my mum or missus, no, they don't know the terms interoperability and open standards. What they do know is the fact that when they go to a website on Opera, IE and Safari, it works. That's what standards give consumers, and that's what they notice."
Lawson pointed to the explosion in connected devices within the home as being an important factor here – as I wrote this interview, NPD Group has just released results of a survey suggesting the average internet-connected US household now has 5.7 connected, app-capable devices.
"There's a PS3, Wii, laptops, smartphones, a smart TV, internet radio and then all the stuff I've got for work," said Lawson. "And of course, they all need to talk to each other."
It feels like an exciting time for Opera, with mobile growth, the WebKit switch, a new Android browser beta, and its recent acquisition of a former competitor Skyfire, which had pivoted towards mobile video optimisation.
iOS and Android may be the kingpins of the smartphone world in early 2013, but the efforts of Opera (and Mozilla, of course, with its Firefox OS) shouldn't be over-simplified as an attempt to beat those big guns.
It's as much about keeping up the pressure on them to ensure the web platform remains open and becomes ubiquitous. Or as he puts it at MWC: "The standards discussion is still vital. We need interoperability to move the web forward and keep it as open as we need."

As Intel's Xeon Scalable 'Ice Lake-SP' processors are getting closer to formal launch, more information about their specifications appears to have leaked. This time around, famous leaker @momomo_us published a list of Ice Lake-SP CPUs with general specifications along with their prices in Southern Europe.
As it turns out, one of Intel's partners from Portugal or Spain has either started to take orders on Intel's upcoming 3rd-Generation Xeon Scalable processors codenamed Ice Lake-SP, or just included them in its price list.
Since the CPUs have not been announced by Intel, it is impossible to verify accuracy of their specifications, but at least their model numbers as well as general specifications corroborate with those published by Hewlett Packard Enterprise a couple of weeks ago.
The leaked list of Intel's Ice Lake-SP processors for servers includes 18 Xeon Platinum and Xeon Gold processors with 16, 18, 28, 32, 36, 38 or 40 cores. As reported, the Xeon Platinum 8380 will feature 40 cores clocked at 2.30 GHz and will, be equipped with 60 MB of LLC (1.5 MB per core). The model 8380 will be among Intel's highest-performing chips for datacenters and will be priced accordingly: chip is projected to cost €8,411 ($9,875) without VAT (21%).
Meanwhile there will also be numerous Xeon Platinum models with 38 and 36 cores that will sit below the higher end model, but will operate at higher clocks and will cost significantly less than the 40-core SKU.
Typically, Intel's families of server CPUs are much broader, so expect the Ice Lake-SP lineup to contain more products aimed at machines that need less than 28 cores per socket or support more memory per socket.

Poundland reveals plans to open new store at former Mold Co-op site
Budget retailer Poundland has revealed plans to open a new store in Mold.View Post
The company is set to open up in the former Co-op store in the town centre, which forms part of the Ambrose Lloyd Centre.
It follows a planning application being submitted to Flintshire Council seeking permission to install illuminated signs for the new store.
The Co-op store, which covers approximately 20,000 square feet, closed its doors for the final time in September 2018 after what the company described as a “difficult decision”.
Announcing the new opening, a spokesman for Poundland said: “Poundland is looking forward to opening a new store in the Ambrose Lloyd Centre in Mold.
“We’ll be offering shoppers our amazing value with an extensive range of everyday items, plus our PEP&CO family fashion and chilled and frozen food.
“We’ll announce more details in the next few weeks.”
The development follows permission being granted earlier this month to turn the first floor of the property into apartments.
Approval for nine flats was given by planning officers with the former offices on Wrexham Street having stood empty for a number of years.
London and Cambridge Properties Limited said the scheme would deliver improvements to the area.
The new Poundland store will be based next to the largest car park in Mold which has 450 spaces.

THQ says its new Partners division can help studios produce global ‘tent-pole’ hits.
The publisher announced its new partnership initiative last month, which will see THQ offer a range of titles from independent developers and publishers via its online retail distribution network.
The model is akin to EA Partners, which has strong ties with the likes of Crytek, Epic Games, Valve, Insomniac, Respawn and MTV Games.
The division is led by Tim Walsh, who joins from IGA Worldwide.
THQ Partners is looking for all types of games, but of course we predominantly want high-quality games that will be global tent-pole hits,” Walsh told MCV.
My goal is to grow THQ partners to a point where we have a group of studios and developers that we build long term relationships with by leveraging the best of each other’s strengths.”
THQ Partners will allow studios to produce and keep ownership of their IP, with the option of outsourcing their publishing, distribution and marketing plans to THQ.
THQ has an incredible global publishing team,” added Walsh. Award-winning sales, marketing and distribution in all the major markets and coverage of every consumer territory.”
