It is undisputed that building and hosting a site in the traditional way certainly requires a good degree of technical knowledge and thus without specialized tools, nearly impossible for the average internet user. Nevertheless, these specialized tools do exist and some make the process of creating and hosting a site accessible to nearly anyone with basic computer knowledge. WordPress is a free content management system and a website builder that allows users to do just that....
Recently Facebook was granted a patent in the US for a system which detects items like alcoholic drinks and snacks from users’ photos.

The new near 80Gbps max bandwidth is 10 times of that of the original DisplayPort 1.0 and 3x more than its latest update (i.e. DisplayPort 1.4) to the standard. These improvements will allow the port to be the...
Just last year Google has released the Pixel Slate, its first Chrome OS-fueled tablet. With two more tablets being in development, it comes as a surprise that the company will scrap these projects and indefinitely stop developing tablets. The tech giant announced in an internal meeting that it will shift its focus on laptops and smartphones instead. This does not mean, however, the end of Android and Chrome OS tablets from third-party manufacturers.
By Google’s definition, a tablet is a device that detaches completely from a keyboard base or doesn’t have one in the first place....
Have you ever searched for something and saw most of the top results are from the same website? This might be unimportant to some, but many want to see a wider diversity of results. Google recently announced that it has updated the SERP to show a more diverse set of search results. How so?

In general, Google will treat subdomains as...
