Разработчики Google продолжают работать над созданием отдельного мобильного индекса. Об этом сообщил в Twitter'e инженер отдела качества поиска Google Гэри Илш (Gary Illyes). Пока же у поисковика есть только десктопный индекс.

We are still experimenting, but it may happen — Gary Illyes (@methode) 28 ... →

Posted by adamfOver the past few years, one feature has been requested more than any other. We call it Multiseat, which, at its core, is the ability for Moz Pro account owners to provide unique logins for their team members and/or clients. Multiseat support is something that we have prioritized, reprioritized, started, and restarted, and for a number of reasons (some good, some less good) we never quite got there. Well, I'm happy to announce that after a great collaborative engineering effort, it is finally... →

Posted by Amit Singh, President, Google for Work What's in a name? Last September, when we changed our name from Google Enterprise to Google for Work, it wasn't just about what we call ourselves - it was about what we stand for. We want to build great products that help you with every aspect of your life - including work (where many waking hours are spent). Enterprise is old business. We believe in a new way of working with collaboration at the core.... →

A drone equipped to “sniff” Zigbee flew over an Austin neighborhood in early August and found almost 1,600 devices. It’s a sign of how ubiquitous these technologies have become, and how we use them every day — despite their vulnerabilities. As we connect more devices to our lives, I can’t help but wonder, can hackers hurt, hunt or poach our local food… Read More... →

Spare a thought for high end fashion boutiques. The rarefied aura of prestige and privilege they spend so long cultivating to reflect the premium brands they stock means they can’t use something as crudely effective as discounts to lure customers in store. So how do they acquire new customers? Read More... →

Earlier this month, a three-year-old venture firm that’s focused on Australian entrepreneurs, Blackbird Ventures, raised an impressive $200 million for its second fund.

There’s a lot of bad code out there. And it’s causing major problems for companies that are looking to build a more mobile-centric, transformational architecture. Specifically, bad code causes projects to take more time, more money and more resources (aka Software Crisis) — which is repeated over and over and over unless a company revisits and updates the long-standing… Read More... →

Companies experiencing hyper growth also have a unique challenge: Maintaining the culture and energy that made them so disruptive in the first place. “One of the things that small companies excel at is innovation— having a culture of innovation. But what they don’t think about later is, when you get big, how do you keep that?” notes Palo Alto Networks CEO and Chairman… Read More... →

If your girlfriend is in a coma or, at the very least, indisposed, I think we have something you might like. It’s called the eJaculator VR and it consists of a thinger that goes on your whozit and a VR mask that allows you to watch someone, somewhere in 3D and then find pleasure using the rubber thinger with some motors in it. In your life, why should you give valuable time to this thing? Read More... →

One of them, Lytmus, has been in the works for more than two years and has raised $7.2 million from NEA and Accel. It was co-founded by Abhay… Read More... →

Apple Music launched. We signed up and used it. The three month trial period is over (depending on the actual date that you signed up), though. You were signed up to auto-renew by default but maybe you want to turn that off like I did. Personally? I’m sticking with Spotify and just didn’t use Apple Music enough. Here’s how to change your subscription status in iTunes on… Read More... →
