    HEADWATERS TMT MUST READ LIST BEST ARTICLES FROM THE WEEK OF AUGUST 3RD, 2015 HEADWATERS TMT MUST READ LIST – BEST ARTICLES FROM THE WEEK OF AUGUST 3RD, 2015 Deal News Microsoft & Salesforce / Informatica – The leveraged buyout of Informatica Corp. reflects the ways in which the entire business software market is being reshaped by the importance of data. Microsoft Corp. and Salesforce.com Inc. joined private-equity investors Permira Advisers LLC and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board in the roughly $5.3 billion deal to take private, as the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday. Informatica has delisted from the Nasdaq and also retired it’s INFA ticker. The company, founded in 1993, had revenue of about $1 billion last year, and grew 11 percent, according to the WSJ. That growth reflects strong demand among businesses for its services, which help companies organize and analyze broad swaths of information, the WSJ says. (WSJ) Daimler, BMW & Audi / Nokia HERE – BMW AG, Audi AG and Daimler AG will buy Nokia Oyj’s digital-map unit for 2.8 billion euros ($3.1 billion) to gain technology for connected cars that will eventually be the basis for self-driving vehicles. The world’s three largest makers of luxury cars will each acquire an equal share of Nokia’s HERE division, and the transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year, they said Monday. Nokia said its net proceeds on the sale will total slightly more than 2.5 billion euros. While there has previously been limited cooperation on auto parts, a joint acquisition on this scale involving BMW, Volkswagen AG’s Audi division and Mercedes-Benz owner Daimler is unprecedented.

  • Section 512 of Title 17 a Report of the Register of Copyrights May 2020 United States Copyright Office
    united states copyright office section 512 of title 17 a report of the register of copyrights may 2020 united states copyright office section 512 of title 17 a report of the register of copyrights may 2020 U.S. Copyright Office Section 512 Report ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The publication of this Report is the final output of several years of effort by the Copyright Office to assist Congress with evaluating ways to update the Copyright Act for the 21st century. The genesis of this Report occurred in the midst of the two years of copyright review hearings held by the House Judiciary Committee that spanned the 113th and 114th Congresses. At the twentieth and final hearing in April 2015, the Copyright Office proposed several policy studies to aid Congress in its further review of the Copyright Act. Two studies already underway at the time were completed after the hearings: Orphan Works and Mass Digitization (2015), which the Office later supplemented with a letter to Congress on the “Mass Digitization Pilot Program” (2017), and The Making Available Right in the United States (2016). Additional studies proposed during the final hearing that were subsequently issued by the Office included: the discussion document Section 108 of Title 17 (2017), Section 1201 of Title 17 (2017), and Authors, Attribution, and Integrity: Examining Moral Rights in the United States (2019). The Office also evaluated how the current copyright system works for visual artists, which resulted in the letter to Congress titled “Copyright and Visual Works: The Legal Landscape of Opportunities and Challenges” (2019). Shortly after the hearings ended, two Senators requested a review of the role of copyright law in everyday consumer products and the Office subsequently published a report, Software-Enabled Computer Products (2016).

    MOBILE IN TRAVEL REPORT SERIES 2016–2017 MOBILE IN TRAVEL REPORT SERIES 2016–2017 AUTHORS David Benady Alex Hadwick Head of Reasearch, EyeforTravel www.eyefortravel.com 1 WELCOME MOBILE IN TRAVEL REPORT SERIES 2016–2017 WELCOME Welcome to our Mobile in Travel Report Series and thank you for choosing EyeforTravel’s research. Mobile technology is the key disruptive influence in the travel industry. The possibilities it affords and the demands it is creating are challenging every aspect of the travel journey. There is now an expectation for instantaneous information that can be accessed by consumers whenever they desire it through the mobile web and apps. In order to deliver this experience travel brands need to conduct an enormous amount of work behind the scenes. Building, optimizing and maintaining a mobile strategy can quickly become a costly exercise. However, few, if any, brands can operate without mobile web or native apps if they do want to win the customer’s booking. The Mobile in Travel Report Series seeks to give travel brands all the tools they need to succeed in this sphere, from understanding consumer trends to the nuts bolts of app construction. This report series will allow you to comprehensively understand mobile in travel through: The current state of the m-commerce in travel. Mobile search and purchase behaviors. A complete understanding of mobile web and native apps and their inherent advantages. Answering whether mobile web or native apps are more important. Investment strategies. Mobile website construction. The cost of app development and how to build successful apps. Driving app downloads and keeping apps on users’ phones.

  • Domain Re-‐Animator Ranking Guide
    Domain Re-Animator Ranking Guide Nate Fischer ([email protected]) 9/16/2015 Introduction Since DRA’s release, we have added a number of features to the software, done walk-throughs and webinars on how to use the interface and have spent a large amount of time tweaking things on the technical side, so I figured it is a perfect time to step back a bit and show everyone how we personally use the software in our SEO strategies and campaigns. One of our current most exciting businesses features a system we built that deploys niche sites targeting 100+ of the largest cities across the US; this guide is a technical overview of the steps our staff follow to rank a site once it is deployed. Step 1: Launch Site When launching a local leadgen/niche site we use a domain name scheme that involves using a partial match + city name. An example of our scheme could be applied to creating a nation wide network of Sewer Repair sites: SewerExpertsLosAngeles.com, SewerExpertsPortland.com, SewerExpertsPhiladelphia.com, etc. Each site needs unique NAP information and a unique email. If you are planning on aiming for a verified G+ Local Business listing you need to be a bit more stringent on the sources for your address + phone number. Try searching for a local virtual office service in the city you are targeting, avoid PO boxes, major virtual office providers and anything that Google may be easily able to tell isn’t a legitimate location. If you aren’t concerned about getting a local verified listing simply search the city for office buildings/suites (perhaps with an existing competitor in the niche) and use the address + add a non existent suite number.

    95 Places To List Your Tours www.tourismtiger.com /blog/86­places­to­list­your­tours/ ​ As a tour operator, it’s vital that you leverage the internet as much as possible to increase your tour sales. We’ve spoken a lot about the Octopus Method to improve your internet presence, but we wanted to up the ​ ​ ​ ante: so much so that we spent months scouring the internet finding places to list your tours. The result? A list of epic proportions. The best news? Most of the sites are free to list on. Some allow you to advertise your brand — directing travelers to your site to make bookings, while others sell your tours for you. Some are niche and target specific audiences, while others are all­encompassing OTAs that reach millions of people across the globe. Due to the sheer size of this list, you might be wondering which you should list your tours on. Our advice? List them on as many platforms as possible — as long as they are somewhat relevant to your tours. Enjoy! These guys are massive OTAs that have been around for awhile. They reach millions of unique global visitors a month. They usually top the rankings when it comes to booking anything travel related. As such, they are the go­to for a lot of travellers when making bookings as they are known to be super reliable and have excellent customer service. You definitely want to list your tour with these guys. 1. Expedia Why we love them: Expedia is the King of the Hill when it comes to OTAs — they are massive! How ​ ​ ​ massive?
