AI and eCommerce: A More Intelligent Future?
This week, Amazon announced yet another major step in their march towards artificial intelligence dominance: the integration of menial office task capability into Alexa, their artificial intelligence and voice shopping product. Alexa popularity has been steadily on the rise, just barely managing to pull ahead of Siri and Google Assistant in technology this year.

New Web Security Culture Needed After Equifax Data Breach
With the latest wave of news about Equifax’s data breach revealing that even more users of the credit reporting service have had their private information revealed to malicious actors, it is a more important time than ever for companies and users to rethink their approach to internet and data security. Because credit reporting and credit checks have become ubiquitous in many types of commerce, Equifax has left the realm of offering a purely elective service and has become one of a very small group of providers who manage nearly every credit check transaction in the country.
In many ways, it is important to think about the Equifax data breach more like a public disaster than simply a corporate scandal.

Education, Facebook Ads, and Politics: A Chaotic Crossroad
It has now been just two months since Facebook revealed that Russian organizations purchased advertising space en masse with the intention to create sensationalized and controversial content that would trigger political in-fighting among American citizens. While many had theorized this possibility, the public reception to evidence of Russian ad manipulation had been controversial in and of itself. With the revelation of a coordinated campaign revealed by Facebook itself, however, surprise and apprehension have spread through everyday users and corporate clients.

Responsibility in Web Administration and the Decline of Uber
Unethical Behaviors Highlight the Need for Change.
These last few months, we’ve written quite a bit about the importance of internet security, an online culture of secure behaviors, and the part companies’ website administration decisions play in the future of safety for their customers. This week yet another historic moment for business in the internet age occurred; Uber was revealed to have paid hackers to cover up a breach of driver and customer security. The fallout from this revelation is two-fold; customers are scared for their data, and the world of business is shocked that such an unethical choice was made by one of the tech industry’s most famous success stories.

Futures, Promises, and the JavaScript Pyramid of Doom
JavaScript (JS) is a nearly ubiquitous programming language on the web. A vast majority of websites still actively employ JavaScript, and as a result of this universality, all web browsers now include native JS engines in order to facilitate the simple, smooth browsing of sites online. JS fluency is one of the most widely accepted signs of web developer competency, since so many web development positions will involve working with JS on a regular basis.

Integrating Bitcoin Can Lead to Increased Sales and Profits
Business people who are not yet familiar with Bitcoin often have extremely varied perceptions of the popular “cryptocurrency.” Some people are tempted in by stories of incredible profits, and others have been scared off by stories of market crash that have, rightfully, reached mainstream news. The fact of the matter, though, is that more and more privacy-concerned internet shoppers are using Bitcoin as both their primary form of payment online and as a supplementary payment option.

Swift: From an Infant Language to A Mainstay of Mobile
Swift is a language so ubiquitous in the lives of most smartphone users that it can be surprising how few people know of its existence. Mobile developers are intimately familiar with the language, which is core to app development in iOS, but those new to mobile development or simply hoping to brush up on other areas of software development may not be as familiar with the language. This article is devoted to the history and the strengths of Swift.

Changes for Web Monetization: Safari’s New Privacy Feature
In early June of 2017, Apple Corporation announced that they would be integrating a feature into iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra’s Safari browser that would prove to, months later, become a major point of contention online. The new feature plays into Apple’s increasing focus on artificial intelligence, offering users machine learning enhanced privacy features within the Safari browser. With the launch of iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra this week, advertising industry groups have come together to issue a complaint letter to Apple, claiming the new feature will “sabotage the economic model for the internet.
