Many businesses rely on their Web site, not only as a first port of call for sales enquiries and online sales, but also as the primary channel for building its brand and customer relationships. This is especially important for smaller businesses which have tighter budgets and cannot rely on advertising budgets and public awareness to drive sales. Small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) can reap huge benefits from having a successful Web site, but what many don’t realise is that a poorly performing site can have an equally damaging impact on their reputation.

First Deus Ex 3 Details Emerge

Ostracus writes "Deus Ex 3, the third entry in the influential FPS/RPG series, was confirmed to be in development by Eidos Montreal nearly a year ago — and now the first solid details on the game have finally emerged. UK magazine PC Zone has a cover story on Deus Ex 3 for their 200th issue (which has reportedly just begun reaching subscribers), and CVG has relayed a number of interesting tidbits from the preview: '... this time around combat won't be influenced by stats, but will rely purely on your personal marksmanship skills. Instead stats will influence "a vast array of fully upgradeable and customisable weapons," and you'll be able to tailor your arsenal to your play style with mag upgrades, scopes and other add-ons. What's more, stealth will now rely on a cover system rather than shadows, and damage will be dealt with by a very Ca

Most businesses rely on spam filters to determine the legitimacy of incoming email. Yet filtering technology remains far from perfect, and a good deal of junk email still winds up in users' inboxes. This fact makes it important to be able to visually spot the differences between real email and the digital rubbish spammers generate. Being able to quickly tell the difference between real email and spam will help you save time, unclog your inbox and pay closer attention to the messages that you really want to read.

Java Run-time Monitoring, Part 1: Run-time Performance

"Many contemporary Java applications rely on a complex set of distributed dependencies and moving parts. Numerous external factors can have an impact on your application's performance and availability. These influences are virtually impossible to eliminate completely or account for and accurately emulate in a preproduction environment. Stuff happens. But you can significantly reduce the severity and duration of these events by creating and maintaining a comprehensive system that monitors your application's entire ecosystem."

Future for clean energy lies in 'big bang' of evolution

Amid mounting agreement that future clean, "carbon-neutral", energy will rely on efficient conversion of the sun's light energy into fuels and electric power, attention is focusing on one of the most ancient groups of organism, the cyanobacteria. Dramatic progress has been made over the last decade understanding the fundamental reaction of photosynthesis that evolved in cyanobacteria 3.7 billion years ago, which for the first time used water molecules as a source of electrons to transport energy derived from sunlight, while converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. The light harvesting systems gave the bacteria their blue ("cyano") colour, and paved the way for plants to evolve by "kidnapping" bacteria to provide their photosynthetic engines, and for animals by liberating oxygen for them to breathe, by splitting water molecules.

Poor Word Of Mouth Is Top eRetail Barrier In China

Chinese consumers are more likely than consumers in more developed markets in Asia to rely on others for advice before purchasing something. Consequently, bad word of mouth is an important reason why many Chinese consumers don't purchase online. Social technologies present a major brand building opportunity to reinforce trust with potential online customers. In metropolitan China, Netizens (whether they shop online or not) are already heavy social media technology users. To get Chinese online shopping holdouts to purchase products online, online retail companies should start to look into implementing social media platforms on their Web sites.

The Cost of Privacy: Destruction of Data-Mining Utility in Anonymized Data Publishing

Re-identification is a major privacy threat to public datasets containing individual records. Many privacy protection algorithms rely on generalization and suppression of "Quasi-identifier" attributes such as ZIP code and birthdate. This paper asks whether generalization and suppression of quasi-identifiers offer any benefits over trivial sanitization which simply separates quasi-identifiers from sensitive attributes. Previous work showed that k-anonymous databases can be useful for data mining, but k-anonymization does not guarantee any privacy. By contrast, they measure the tradeoff between privacy (how much can the adversary learn from the sanitized records?) and utility, measured as accuracy of data-mining algorithms executed on the same sanitized records.

IBM to release Lotus iNotes for iPhone later this year

Lotus Notes: the office software everyone loves to hate. Despite the divisive feelings that Notes inspires, many large enterprises rely on Lotus Notes to access their e-mail, group calendars, and contacts.

IBM is now planning to add an iPhone-optimized web client for Notes, called Lotus iNotes Ultralite, later this year.
