I don't know if it's necessarily 100% safe. Theoretically it should be, but I had one of my phones started acting haywire whenever I had it charged into a third party charger. The screen on it would become very erratic and unresponsive whenever it was plugged in. Eventually this became permanent...

Doesn't this seem a bit redundant? I mean, if you've got your phone in your car with you, and you are already paying for it through AT&T, why should you have to pay for a separate connection? That is the whole purpose of a *mobile* phone, so you can take it with you. If you happen to sync your...

You could get the Motorla M for about $100, probably even cheaper now, since it's been out for a few months. It got really good reviews upon its release and was voted as one of the best phones to come out last year, especially due to the quality of the phone for it's price range. There are also...

I was a bit underwhelmed with the design of the Galaxy S5, but apparently it is causing more of a fiasco than I would have thought. Samsung has already ousted the guy who headed up the design of it, due to the lackluster response to the new model. It was a bit too much like previous models, imo...

Years ago, Quark XPress and Adobe InDesign were the two main "graphic design" programs. And by graphic design, I meant mainly working in print. That said, graphic designers back then were also using Photoshop and Illustrator in conjunction with InDesign or Quark XPress. Photoshop and Illustrator...

These two companies (apparently owned by the same parent company) offer stock video, audio and graphical elements. They also offer a free trial period to test them out. Their content is mediocre at best, but the biggest problem I've been having with them is that they spam the hell out of you. I...

I won't repeat what they said here because it was pretty obscene and rather gross, but two friends of mine (they're married) have this running joke between each other where they send each other raunchy private messages all day on Facebook while they are at their desks at work. Then they each try...

I would prefer to stick with lighter colors, because they deflect the sunlight and don't get as hot on sunny days. I've had dark colored cars in the past that were unbearable on hot days. The worst was an all black 1990 Mustang, with and all black leather interior. You could practically feel...

Both are very loose terms, SEO could theoretically be considered a part of SEM - since you are marketing your web site by optimizing it's rankings in the natural search results through SEO. SEM on it's own though typically refers to the use of paid advertising channels, such as Google AdWords...

Blog comments are part of a larger set of indicators as to how popular your site is with the engines. They can both directly and indirectly increase your search engine rankings, though I wouldn't expect dramatic results from them. If you had to choose between getting some original high quality...

Ideally you would want Google to index all of the pages of your site, unless there are some pages in particular which you want Google and the other engines to ignore for whatever reason. This can be accomplished by setting up an HTACCESS file and using tne necessary syntax to discourage those...

One of the big concerns when advertising on Pay Per Click services, is the potential for click fraud. The smaller networks aside from Google and Bing are particularly prone to this issue. Despite the measures in place that all these engines have to prevent it, it will still sometimes slip...

You cannot block the fake clicks from happening, but the big engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo have multiple security measures in place to prevent you from getting charged for those clicks at all. If you do spot suspicious traffic patterns that may have slipped through their filters, you...

I don't really think that books are the ideal way to learn graphical apps or web design these days, for a variety of reasons - but primarily because the information would already be outdated by the time the book is published. There are plenty of web sites to learn all of this for free on, as...

1.) Make sure your site as a whole is accessible across mobile and desktop devices at all screen resolutions, and not only just accessible, but a good user experience as well. This can take a lot of work to do manually, but a good premade template will give you a major jumpstart. 2.) Make sure...

Images on Google's image search are not free for anyone to use on their sites. That is a common misconception. Google is simply indexing those images, because the stock photo companies have live sites with samples of the images shown for sales purposes. The watermark should be an obvious warning...

Here are some other ways: BigStockPhoto has a free 7 day trial, where you can download up to 5 free images of any size or file format. They will ding your card for like $1 in the beginning just to make sure it is legit, but that will be refunded. You just need to be super careful during the...

Just out of curiosity, what brand is it? I had a lot of problems with HP laptops overheating, particularly their entry level models. They were just designed poorly to begin with, and not adequately ventilated. One of them I bought I returned within a week because it literally sounded like a jet...

That is essentially it, when you are serving different pages to the spiders and bots than you are to real users. Though it often goes further than that. Cloaking scripts would typically generate hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of fake pages on the fly which would then redirect back to...

I would argue that SEO is really a more all-encompassing term that would include Social Media under it's umbrella. I wouldn't consider them entirely different entities. Conversations occurring on social media platforms are very much like conversations occurring on blogs and forums in many...
