Google is Planning to Penalize Overly Optimized Sites

google logoThis is an interesting move by Google but not completely off the rocker for them. Last year they blocked search results from the co.cc domain because they believed they polluted the search results. Google plans to penalize overly optimized sites because they want to level the playing field for other websites who do not concentrate on such efforts. Basically there are sites out there that completely focus their efforts on SEO and not content and those results would rank higher than sites that don't focus on SEO.

Apple Starts Shipping Early Orders of the iPad 3

iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1 Shows 4G Indicator on AT&T

If you are a user that has an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1 on AT&T you may have noticed your 3G symbol turned 4G. It looks like users on AT&T that are connected to the HSPA+ network are getting the 4G symbol even though it is not a true 4th generation network. Apple and AT&T made this decision because they think that the iPhone 4S is capable of 4G speeds even though it is not true 4G. With this change in place it will allow AT&T to differentiate itself from its competitors Verizon and Sprint with CDMA networks that do not offer the HSPDA connectivity. It is still however not true 4G which the next iPad will support which was unveiled on Wednesday.

New iPad Supports 4G LTE on AT&T and Verizon

You heard right. The New iPad supports 4G LTE on both AT&T and Verizon in the US and other countries that also have 4G. Other carriers such as Rogers, Bell, and Telus support it as well. The iPad will not however support both AT&T and Verizon on the same device because of the different bands they both use. The new iPad supports 21Mbps HSPA+, 42Mbps DC-HSDPA and 73Mbps LTE connections. That is a pretty fast iPad and now they let you share it with your other devices as a mobile hotspot as long as your carrier supports it.
