The ability to fine tune campaigns to the local market should …

What do I hate about TV shows? Pretty much **EVERYTHING** would be my answer for 99% of the dross that passes as suitable for broadcast, to be honest.

Want to buy a Dell machine loaded with Linux? Shame, as it appears that Dell Europe would really rather you bought a Windows-powered one, despite having a website devoted entirely to selling Dell Ubuntu laptops. And, oh boy, does it use some strange arguments to dissuade you from becoming a …

Simply put, HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) plus SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) = HTTPS. The 'S' in HTTPS just stands for secure.

Here's the thing. You answer questions on SEO and marketing like you are an expert. Then you ask questions like this. You either know what you are talking about or you don't, so which is it?

You set up a home-based business and a website to accompany. Being an SEO expert, your website will rank highly when people search for SEO expert and you will get clients. Or am I missing something?

I am something of a self-confessed Anker hardware fan. I've been using their cables, power supplies and portable chargers for years now. However, I never really thought of Anker in the audio space, until now. Soundcore is an Anker brand with just audio products out there, as the name suggests. …

AVG (as a company) has a very blotted copybook courtesy of the damned secure search toolbar that it loves to install all over the place, and which borders on being malware (foistware is a good word for the thing) itself IMHO.

Erm, it's pretty self-explanatory: your site was down when Google tried to review it I would imagine (or there's something preventing the Google spider from seeing where it needs to crawl. The good thing about such error messages from Google is that they tend to be pretty descriptive and clear …

I have removed the links from your post as they are not required in order to answer the question, and they could put some off of answering as they appear spammy. Personally, I would have to agree with rproffitt in that if you can get better with practice then practice. …

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network to be formal, is a method of creating an encrypted data tunnel across the Internet from your device to a destination server. Although savvy home users and enterprises will operate their own VPNs (business-grade routers provide this functionality) for most folk, a VPN comes …

Moz.com has a good definition: "Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website through organic search engine results." I will leave it to the SEO experts to answer your second question.

Hands up if you remember Opera Software, you know the Norway-based developer of alternative web browser clients. In the days before Firefox, Opera was the client most likely to shake up Microsoft and for a while seemed to be doing pretty well in that regard. Then Firefox came along and …

So you've lost access to your data through hardware failure or accidental erasure. What do you do? Like most cyber-warriors you naturally turn to the Internet, be that via a Google search or YouTube video, for help. That's a big mistake says [Kroll Ontrack](https://www.krollontrack.co.uk/blog/), a data recovery specialist, as self-inflicted …

A survey of attendees at Infosecurity Europe earlier this month showed 70 percent in favour of the dictionary definition (in this case the Cambridge Dictionary) of a hacker being amended. The amendment in question being to remove 'illegality' from the definition. The current definition of a hacker is "a person …
