Google is Buying The .app Top Level Domain
Google is buying the entire .app domain. The price? Just $25 million.
In 2012, ICANN, the organization that controls top level domains announced plans to expand the number of options. Currently Google controls the .how, .soy, and .minna domains and allows people to register for domains under those.
The $25 million price tag is the largest that has ever been paid for a top level domain. Last year Dot Tech LLC purchase the top level domain .tech for $6.7 million. Amazon has also gotten into the game with its purchase of both .buy and .spot. It was able to acquire .buy for just 5 million and .spot for less than half that, $2.2 million.
It’s unclear what Google plans to do with the .app top level domain. Maquina do Esporte said it would make sense for the company to use it as some sort of tie in to their popular Android app store Google Play.

Kanye West New Video Game
The video game will not be anything like what you are imagining. The Kanye game will be about his dead mother. The object of the game is to lead Kanye’s mom through the pearly gates of heaven. The higher that you can get Kanye’s mom into heaven, it will give you a better score.
I wonder if you are confused as I am. No offense to Kanye, but his game sounds absolutely ridiculous. I would not want to play a game where I need to lead Kanye’s mom to heaven. It sounds super creepy to me. I think Kanye West has truly gone completely insane.
Kim Kardashian, who is married to Kanye West, saw tremendous profits from her mobile game last year. Kanye West may be following in his wife’s footsteps. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are both completely ridiculous. I hope that no one buys Kanye’s new game. He does not deserve any money for exploiting his deceased mother.
Kanye West needs to check himself into a mental hospital. For more information on Kanye’s new game, visit Gamerant.
QNet: Sweeping Asia, Africa, and the World
In 1998 Vijay Eswaran had an idea that has turned into a multi million mass business. Starting out with gold coins, Vijay used his new founded business structure as a multi level marketing plan. The name of the main company is QI Group, and the company that veered off it was known as Goldquest.
Vijay helped other entrepreneurs get started with their own Goldquest business, but Vijay also saw other possibilities. He said to himself, “Why stop with just gold coins?”
Changing the name to QNet, and adding more products has created a business that has grown to humongous levels. At this point even the Barclay’s Champions: Manchester City has partnered with QNet and is now a direct selling partner. QNet is becoming a world wide sensation, and there is only more blue skies ahead.
QNet uses the multi-level marketing method that cuts down on advertising costs and gives back to the person who has partnered with QNet. A person who joins the QNet family has 2 main systems of gaining income. They can sell the products for a commission, and they can attain others to sell the products, and gain commissions off their sales. As thbe people get more people, the original person gets commissions from all.
QNet has made it even easier for their partners to sell the products. QNet found a more cost efficient program to manufacture the products they now sell. By moving manufacturing to India, the overall costs have come down, and the company gives those savings back in lower pricing, and larger commissions.
Mentioned earlier, gold coins was the original item. What does QNet have for products now? The company found multiple streams of opportunities in:

Sam Tabar and His Latest Investment
Sam Tabar is known as one of the top attorneys in New York. He also has extensive experience working in hedge funds before becoming a full time attorney. With his education at Oxford University and Columbia Law School in New York, he has worked for not only some of the top financial firms in the region, but also has acted as a rather prominent attorney as well. With this combination, Sam Tabar tends to look for possible investment opportunities that he not only believes is going to turn a profit, but can also help those in need, whenever possible. With his latest investment, Sam has decided to go with the latter, with an investment that is set to help millions of women throughout the African continent.
Millions of women in Africa do not have the ability to access proper hygiene material during their menstrual periods. Due to this, they often must stay home whenever this period begins, which can prove extremely difficult for the family. Additionally, many of the women have a cultural belief that tampons should not be used prior to marriage either. In order to assist all of these women, Sam invested with a startup company called THINX.
THINX produces a specially designed pair of underwear that can help women during their menstruation period. There are insertable pads that can be washed, all of which are extremely absorbent. When receiving such a pair, the underwear comes with severn different pads, so there is enough for the woman to make it through the week, or however like their menstrual period is, without running out. This sort of an investment should go a long way into helping these women live a more comfortable life and also assist them in being able to continue working during this time, so they do not miss out on pay.

Back pain is something that can actually take over your life, and cause you to be in constant pain, and then you’ll be unable to live a normal life. Back pain may be caused by several problems, including a ruptured disc, lumbar, spine problems and more. There are different types of back pains, and depending on the type of pain that you are feeling, you may need to have surgery performed, in order to correct the problem with your back. Traditional back surgery used to require a very large incision, and the back would be opened up, in order to find the source of the pain.
With the new technology that’s out today, a small incision can be made in your back, and an AccuraScope camera is put into the incision, in order to show the doctors what problem you’re having with your back. The small incision is helpful, because it not only helps to diagnose the true source of your back problems, it can also lead to treatment, as well as a cure. The scarring is very small, and not as visible as those that come from regular back surgery.

An MRI is a great way to help determine if the surgery is something that will be helpful to you. Once you are determined to be eligible for the surgery, you’ll get a full consultation to let you know what the procedure requires. You’ll also have outpatient care, and you’ll be instructed as to what to do while you are healing from the surgery.
If there is the possible need for other procedures to be performed, the doctors will let you know, after the first procedure has been performed. This surgery is not only minimally invasive, it’s less painful, and you heal much quicker, so you don’t have to worry about some of the potential problems that occur from regular back surgery. Technology has allowed surgeons to be able to help their patients, without a large incisions into the body. Minimally invasive surgeries are an excellent way to help a patient heal from the problems they are having.
If you are having back problems that have been diagnosed, and it’s been determined that you need surgery, choose North American Spine as your surgical location.

North American Spine can help you to live a normal life again, so go to North American Spine for help with your back problems, right away.
Connecting Consumers and Retailers via Image Recognition
As consumers continually align their shopping habits to the way they use technology, the retail industry must also make adjustments to accommodate them. When consumers began demanding the ability to shop from their computers, they lit the spark that led to the e-commerce boom. The changes in retail habits did not stop there. Information technology is seeing continued advances, and computing has now become mobile for many demographics. Buyers of today are adapting to technological innovations by also engaging in m-commerce, through which they may make purchases from their mobile devices. Image recognition technology is fast becoming part of the solution for meeting the needs of these shoppers on the go.
Practical Example
Industry leader Slyce, found at slyce.it, presents a great example of how product recognition technology works and how retailers can take advantage of it. The general idea, as illustrated by Slyce, is for consumers to have the ability to easily locate and purchase something they want after taking a picture of it with a mobile device. The image recognition technology enables the buyer to use the image to run a search, and that search leads to options to purchase the item desired.
From the Slyce demo, it is easy to see how the underlying technology leads to a mobile device user becoming a buyer. After a simple click of a cell phone camera, visual search technology matches the image with products available for sale. With a few taps on the device, the desired product is conveniently ready for checkout in a mobile shopping cart. The Slyce demo effectively depicts how this is accomplished by having the visual attributes of a product entered into the system for recognition by shoppers.
How Image Recognition Works
Exact algorithms are proprietary to the companies offering services, but there are some basic principles of image recognition that help with understanding the technology. Meta data, captions and tags propel a large number of searches on images, but advancing technology is making it possible for computers to also detect patterns in the images themselves. An analysis is conducted on the numeric sequences represented by the pixels of an image, and the information is stored for future reference. When consumers run visual searches on pictures they have taken, they are matching the pixel information to what is stored already. The information has to exist for consumers to find it in their search results and make their purchases.
Benefits to Retailers, Brands and Publishers
Because potential buyers are increasingly mobile, it is becoming more imperative to begin taking advantage of visual recognition. To put their products in reach of customers, businesses will need to make it easy for the items to be located. Image recognition enables sellers to do that for consumers who take advantage of mobile technology, and it provides a means of making an immediate connection between the buyer and the retailer.
Sellers benefit not only from mobile application of visual searches, but also from desktop usage when shoppers run a search on scanned pictures or images they find online. With visual searches, consumers have an increasingly sophisticated tool for finding exactly what they want. This means image recognition, for both desktop and mobile users, is increasingly one of the most important instruments for connecting consumers to the products they are eager to buy.
The D.C. Cinematic Approach Is Inverse to Marvel’s
Man of Steel and Green Lantern were the mere two solo films that are preceding the Justice League movie. (The Dark Knight films are not part of the shared universe) Batman v. Superman is slated for release and it will also feature Wonder Woman and, perhaps, Aquaman. Suicide Squad hits theaters the next year with a villain team-up. Then, we get to see a Justice League summer spectacular.
Batman v. Superman is not going to be a team-up. As the title suggests, the two heroes will be at odds with one another in the film. In the comics, the two heroes reflected different approaches towards fighting crime. In the cinematic duet, audiences will be treated to a narrative that also focuses on the differences between the characters.
The unique overarching path D.C. is following entails bringing all the characters together in one film and then breaking them off into solo projects. You could say this is the rushed opposite approach to the Marvel way. Is one approach better than the other? As long as the finished films are enjoyable, fans of hero films are sure to be happy.
