If you own, or have owned a website in the past, what strategies and methods do you use to advertise it? Which proved to be the most effective? Which were the least effective?
You are correct. While this could be used against a city, its real purpose is to focus on attacking bunkers where other countries' nukes are stored.
Nope, but it looks like we could be heading in that direction if relations don't improve.

I imagine this could be interpreted to include other devices and data protected by biometrics, too. Very concerning.

Exercising or reading are two of my favorite ways to relax.
Definitely a few good resources on there. I will check back and make use of what I can. Thanks!
That was a change we just recently made within the past week. We went to a newer, nicer, more modern theme.

Hey,So I've been running a website since 2014 geared towards tech, science, and entertainment articles. Its a pretty broad category and one which thousands of other sites operate in. But nonetheless, I have given it a go because it is something I enjoy and is interesting (to me).In the 3 years I've had it, we've had some very good days, but the rest are pretty average or even poor. The biggest...
The article discusses some great points. I think one of the big issues effecting college grad underemployement is also that there not as many people going into technical schools. Those are careers which are almost always in demand much like the STEM fields the article discusses but there is somewhat of a stigma about going for technical things vs. liberal arts or the full on STEM areas.

The only problem I see with that is that one of the reasons notebooks are so cheap is because you almost constantly need new ones. They either get filled up or worn out relatively quickly. Therefore, companies know you will have to buy more to replace the ones you've already bought. That is part of the reason they are so cheap.
The same probably wouldn't be true for e-notebooks. They could hold tons more notes and hopefully be more durable than notebooks. Due to those factors, a company who produces them knows they aren't going to have as many reoccurring sales in the future to replace the e-notebook, so they are going to likely charge more up front.
Just my opinion and maybe I am totally incorrect.
Yeah, but most would probably prefer to just buy a tablet and use that instead since they can use it for more then just an e-notebook, unless there was a way to make e-notebooks cost similar to traditional notebooks which I just can't see happening.
Couldn't you just buy one the $60 tablets and use that? I get your point about appreciating the tablet more than a notebook, but even if e-notebooks were dropped in price, I couldn't see it falling much below the price of the tablets in the $60 range.
I imagine that there is also a ton less demand for e-notebooks then there are for tablets, which is probably one of the major factors as to why no one is trying to mass produce them and lower the price.
In my opinion, ads wouldn't be so bad if people didn't abuse them and make them so intrusive. The sites that love pop-ups, spam ads, and tons a flashy banners and what not ruins it for any site that tries to be responsible with their ads.

I remember seeing somewhere (can't remember if it was online, or on the show) where the Sharks talked about how a lot more goes into the deal then the little snippet of them talking that is shown on TV. Obviously that makes sense, as the info from the little snippet is often superficial. The exposure for the company presenting their items is probably one of the best parts. I would think if you are set to capitalize on that then you have a good shot of doing decently, even if the Sharks don't back you (although this guy even has problems with that).
Sounds like this guy just struggled with his business and it basically ran into the ground.
This should definitely be a concern, but I feel like most people don't even realize that anything like that could happen. There is lots a news about webcams, baby monitors, etc. being hacked, but barely any warnings about making sure you keep your phone protected and secure, too.
I agree, but of course companies like EA do that purposely as it encourages players to make these purchases.

Yeah, it seems foolish to me that they would want Apple to crack the phone since it risks the security of their data.

A lot of breakthroughs in science have a similar fate. One example was finding that DNA was a double helix with Watson, Crick, and Rosalind Franklin. Watson and Crick got all the credit but Franklin definitely played a major role in that discovery and was mostly written out.
