Do you think you’re able to answer the question every marketing leader dreads hearing from leadership: “Why isn’t our marketing effort doing more?” How do you even go about answering that? Let’s look at what I mean using a fictional location analytics company we’ll call Acme Area Analytics. The Acme team reviews its reports. Nothing appears broken. Campaigns are running, leads are still coming in, and performance metrics are mostly stable. Yet sales momentum isn’t clearly accelerating, and it’s hard to pinpoint why. Insights are scattered across site analytics, brand monitoring and SEO tools, CRM systems, and paid media dashboards.…

DNA storage has always attracted a lot of interest due of its potential density and longevity – and researchers have long been exploring ways to encode digital information into DNA strands that can be stored and later read back using sequencing technology.One of the leaders in this field, French startup Biomemory, recently announced it has acquired the assets of Catalog Technologies, another firm working on DNA-based data storage, giving the former access to Catalog’s printing, reading, and computing technologies, along with a large portfolio of patents.Both companies rely on mapping digital data to biosafe DNA blocks instead of synthesizing DNA…

Over the last year, I spent more time building a second brain than actually using one. I was constantly switching tools in search of a workflow that didn’t feel like a second job. But after testing dozens of apps, I finally landed on a tool that didn’t just add to the noise. AFFiNE did what others couldn’t: it bridged the gap between a structured database and a freedom whiteboard and gave me the privacy of a local-first app without the steep learning curve of a developer toolkit. Here is why I finally stopped hunting and how this hybrid powerhouse changed…
Microsoft will soon begin rolling out a significant upgrade to Microsoft 365 Backup to speed up recovery by allowing administrators to restore individual files and folders. Microsoft 365 Backup is a SharePoint, OneDrive, and Exchange backup and restore service designed to protect against data loss from ransomware, accidental deletion, or data corruption. Until now, Microsoft 365 Backup worked at the site or drive level, with a single corrupted or deleted file triggering a time-consuming full restore. With the new granular restore capabilities, admins can browse and search existing restore points for protected SharePoint sites and OneDrive accounts, then select only…
Robby Stein, VP of Product Google Search, posted that Google is updating AI Mode so that it surfaces more links to creators when users search for recipes. Google’s AI Mode has generated controversy by synthesizing multiple recipes into what some have taken to calling Frankenstein recipes. This new update aims to fix that by making it easier to tap and see a link to the recipe sites. Change To How AI Mode Displays Recipes What Google did was to create an attractive display of recipes that when clicked opens a side panel that displays recipe images and a summary of…
Smartphone photography has come a long way. Most phones today capture incredibly sharp photos at multiple focal lengths and can even tackle challenging lighting conditions with ease. I’d say that photos and, specifically, computational photography, have become so good that it is surfacing a whole new problem. Smartphone photos look too good and too perfect today. The colors are spot on accurate, so is the contrast and the results tend to lack the subtle imperfections that make photographs feel authentic. It’s funny that the more I use my phone for photography, the more I yearn for the old-school imperfections that…
The US cybersecurity agency CISA on Thursday expanded the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) list with five flaws, including three bugs targeted by the nation-state-grade Coruna iOS exploit kit. Coruna contains exploits targeting 23 vulnerabilities in iOS versions spanning four years, namely iOS 13.0 to iOS 17.2.1, but is ineffective against the latest iterations of Apple’s mobile platform. It has been used by multiple threat actors, including the customer of a spyware vendor, a Russian espionage group, and a financially motivated Chinese group. Likely built using ‘second-hand’ zero-day exploits, Coruna fingerprints devices to load the appropriate WebKit remote code execution (RCE)…
Joe Maring / Android AuthorityThis October will mark nine years since Google introduced one of the best Pixel features it’s ever created. The first time Now Playing automatically identified a song on my Pixel 2 XL, it felt like magic. All these years later, it’s one of the main reasons I carry a Pixel instead of any other Android phone.Google has slightly tweaked Now Playing over the years, but the core experience has largely remained the same. However, it just got its biggest update ever with the release of Google’s new Now Playing app.I’ve spent the last day using the…
Until a few years ago, schema helped search engines extract basic facts and display visual enhancements like star ratings and sitelinks. However, in the AI-driven search world, schema plays a different and fundamental role for local SEO, helping Google and other AI systems understand who you are, what you do, where you operate, and how confidently your information can be reused. Improving rankings isn’t as relevant. Now, schema helps reduce confusion for Google and reinforces your business as a stable, trustworthy local entity across traditional search, local packs, AI Overviews, rich results, and external AI platforms. Let’s dig into how…
