Is Your Mobile App Targeting the Right Customers?

There are many steps in the development cycle of a mobile application.

Buying Music Rights May Be Facebook’s Ticket to Beat YouTube

As app developers know, Mark Zuckerberg will not rest until Facebook is a one-stop online media powerhouse.

Telecom Lobby Tries to Discredit Pro-Net Neutrality Comments

Back in May, we enlisted readers to head over to DearFCC.org and give the FCC a piece of their minds over Chairman Ajit Pai’s plans to roll back net neutrality protections. It is a cause we believe in; it is integral that we preserve a fair and open internet. This is a stance shared by […]

Someone Is Trying to Hack American Nuclear Power Plants

The general public has tended to be blissfully unaware of global cybersecurity issues, but two recent high profile cyberattacks (and perhaps the Russian hacking of the 2016 election) may have changed that. Back in mid-May, the WannaCry ransomware attack exposed vulnerabilities in networks running on the out-of-date Microsoft XP operating system. Last week, less than […]
