Far gone are the days when you were required to submit hard copies or the documents in paper form. Now paper documents are replaced with PDF documents and most of the offices and institutes demand PDF documents and forms as an alternative to paper documents. These days PDF documents are considered as authentic as papers and files in hard format and they also have the added benefit of being more environmentally friendly. So it’s important that you have access to a PDF editor–but which kind of PDF editor should you use? A desktop app or an web app? Both types have their pros and cons. Cost Most

We recently met with Bowers & Wilkins head of marketing, Jeff Connors, to learn more about the brand new Bowers & Wilkins PX Wireless headphones which the company released earlier last month. It was a little over a year ago that the storied audio company was acquired by a Silicon Valley home automation company called Eva Automation which was founded by former Facebook CFO (and San Francisco 49ers co-owner), Gideon Yu. I have to admit, I was a bit concerned about the acquisition when I first heard about it, but those concerns have been put to rest after meeting with Jeff and seeing the

Technology has rapidly become an integral part of our everyday lives with many people using their smartphones for more than just making and receiving calls. People use their phones for everything from mobile banking, to receiving important and private emails and other work-related functions meaning that there is more at stake than just losing contacts and text messages should your mobile device be compromised. In order to keep your data safe, here are just a few ways you can improve on your mobile security: Always set an unlock pin/code as well as a SIM card lock – While entering a pin every

There’s an ongoing discussion about the constant spread of fake news across the various media channels: Facebook, Google, Twitter and other known publications. The buzz around this new kind of yellow journalism is inevitable, and unfortunate to the majority of writers who are proud, and take seriously their duty to deliver the most honest information to their readers. Fake news can be defined as news articles that are intentionally false and misleading. Recently, the fake news epidemic has grown in scale and message, especially with stories related to politics or the US presidential election c

While a website may be helpful in assisting a brand with increasing their awareness and expanding their business, it is important to realize that simply having a website developed without paying any attention to the marketing and promotion of the site would be a waste of money. The same goes for a local business – even though there is a chance that people would walk past a new store and enter it, there is no use in founding a business if the business owner is not interested in marketing the business to the general public. Thus, one of the most important aspects of any successful brand or busin

People work hard for their money and annual car repairs are pretty much the last thing people want to spend their hard-earned cash on. The car repair industry in particular is one known for ripping people off, grossly overcharging, and squeezing more money than necessary out of their customers. Since mechanics are notorious for cheating people, CarFix, the Moscow based startup operating on the Ethereum blockchain, has developed a platform that prevents people from getting ripped off and taken for the proverbial ride. CarFix offers people fixed prices for their auto repairs, via a pre-arrange

Showcasing additional content on your website is a great way to interact with your audience and turn first-time visitors into loyal ones. In other words, if you aren’t already, you need to take advantage of having someone’s attention for a brief moment in time and then capitalize on it. There are many ways you can do this, but today we’re going to focus on 7 plugins for WordPress that let you recommend additional content to your audience to further captivate them. Implementing a recommended posts section is a really good way to engage your online readers and increase the number of page views

Black Friday is just two weeks away and with the shopping extravaganza upon us I thought I’d create a video/post examining whether or not Black Friday is really the best time to shop. Spoiler alert: it isn’t. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t deals to be had and it also doesn’t mean there isn’t a benefit to being able to plan around Black Friday. So to get to the bottom of this debate of whether or not you should partake in Black Friday, I did some research on my own and also spoke with a representative from DealNews to shed light on the situation. I got answers to questions like, does

The advertising world changes quickly, and Facebook Ads are currently one of the most popular ways of marketing your brand. Both small businesses and international companies use it to extend their reach farther than ever before. So what makes Facebook Ads so great in terms of marketing? Well, 71 percent of adults who use the internet also have a Facebook profile. Missing an opportunity to introduce your brand to them can be a real waste. Facebook Ads can also be more affordable than the traditional ways of marketing. You don’t need to spend a lot of money on it, but the feedback can be tremen

Over the past few years there has been significant development in medical technology incorporating automation and AI into the industry. More companies are developing intelligent solutions for the medical field with the goal of making the life of a doctor more efficient and effective, and to deliver better patient care. Although this advanced medical technology already exists, we’re not always seeing it in practice – or at least in widespread practice. Some barriers holding these technologies from being mainstream medical solutions are in the complexity of integration, and most often due to h

Social media is incredibly popular these days. Whenever there is a new trend emerging, good chances are that it will show up on social media platforms first. These trends influence people on social media in many ways and once they become widely accepted, both the social media platforms and businesses that interact with their audience through them have to adapt as well. This year (2017) was a frantic year for social media, where trends re-shaped how people use those networks. Luckily, these new trends are being integrated into our everyday lives and things are starting to settle down once agai

So if you have an iPhone X by now you’ve noticed it doesn’t have a home button. So how do you take a screenshot on iPhone X? On every other iPhone to-date to take a screenshot you would press the power button and then the home button immediately after take a screenshot, but now, with no more home button, how does one take said screenshot? I’ll tell you. To take a screenshot on iPhone X, simply press and hold the power button on the right side of your device and then immediately press volume up button on the left side of the device. That’s it. And in iOS 11, once the screenshot has been taken

For those who aren’t aware, I have two younger brothers (Andrew and Jason), who are identical twins. So when Apple announced the Face ID feature on the iPhone X, I couldn’t wait for them to get the latest iPhone. I was curious to see if they would be able to unlock each other’s phone, because well, they’re identical. So this morning I had them record a video attempting to trick Face ID into allowing Jason to unlock Andrew’s new iPhone X and guess what! It worked. It’s so funny to me because I grew up with them and to me, they look like two different people but that’s apparently not the case

Google has already confirmed that there are two most important factors that contribute to the rankings of a website: links and content. When we’re talking about links, we’re talking about high authority, quality, and genuine links. You can’t climb the ladder by trying to steal. Google will catch you; they always do. Therefore, you’ll need to build white-hat links which are based on value. Now, the other most important factor is content. A website that ranks high in the SERPs is most likely to display quality content that’s helpful to one or more audiences. Google’s main purpose is to help the

As it turns out, online advertising is more complicated than you may think. It’s not something that you can just “set and forget.” That’s a reality that many small-to-medium-sized businesses are learning and attempting to deal with every day. With online advertising, there are many factors that come into play when it comes to setting up an ad on Facebook or Instagram. There’s the matter of who you want to target your ad towards, which itself has several layers of complexity–age, location, gender, likes/interests, etc. There’s your budget and making sure you allocate it effectively. There’s hav

In 2017, the world saw an unbelievable amount of both natural and manmade tragedies. From Hurricane Irma, flooding and monsoons in South Asia, earthquakes across Mexico and tragic storms across Africa, nature has tested man’s preparedness for emergency medical care. Following all of these events there is a rush to send aid, money and some sort of humanitarian relief. Yet some companies are stepping forward to offer their technological support. While there are many different platforms, tools and applications of these emerging products and services, there are eight companies working in partners

Ever since Pokémon Go took the world by storm last year, the potential of augmented reality for the gaming world has become clear. The mobile game which involved catching the pocket monsters while out and about in the real world was played by over 100 million people and generated more than $268 million in revenue. These whopping figures highlighted the market for AR, and have led to other developers to experiment with the new technology. It should come as no surprise, then, that mobile industry leaders Apple are getting in on the act as well, with the ARKit. Apple has frequently been at the f

Ensuring that your website is well-designed, has good SEO, and is being visited is just part of the equation for online success. It’s super important to take conversion rate optimization seriously. Conversion rate optimization is a systematic process of increasing the percentage of your website’s visitors that take a desired action on a certain page such as buying an item or signing up for your email newsletter. In order to convert visitors, you need to optimize landing pages and the overall website using

In fact if you’re able to create slideshows with a bit of polish, you can even create a variety of different types of video content, photo compilations, and much more.
