By Greg Mills
Prognosticators of all things Apple are reviewing their previous posts to count off the things they got right and the things they got wrong. The realization came to me as I read a post on the event written by a CNN tech writer stating that the big event wasn’t any big deal. When there are so many Apple hardware products that are ready to upgrade, why didn’t any hardware at all get announced? Clearly new Wi-Fi servers are in the works, for example.
The answer is something CEO Steve Jobs has in spades: FOCUS. Apple plays the press like a violin. They know that only a few new things can get the full press treatment and, hey, why not split the product releases info multiple events to maximize the free press Apple gets? That free press is worth a fortune.
Within a few weeks there will be special events where things like faster routers, new iPhones and the other cool new Apple products will be released. They will also get the major press treatment they each deserve and not simply share the stage with Lion, iOS 5 and the iCloud.
Keep in mind, the event that is going on is the Worldwide Developers Conference. Duh, read that software and platform infrastructure. Apple wants the important things they are doing in the platform area to be the focus of this event. The iPhone 5 will come out, not to fear. The pattern of having fewer products released in a batch makes perfect sense.
The focus on iCloud as a sync mechanism between Apple devices is really more the intent of Apple’s cloud innovation than merely a hard drive in the sky. As it is now, when I get an email there is a ding, dong, ding as my email@example.com account distributes the message on all my Internet devices. That may soon include Apple TV. The iCloud will extend that syncing feature even more.
The US$25 a year “ripped music recognition and catalogue” concept is designed to minimize server farm memory use on repetitive data. Why store 1,576,453 copies of a popular song on the servers when using a tiny amount of memory you could list the all iCloud customers who have a right to access that particular song and simply have one copy on the servers that everyone shares?
The benefit is that the quality of the song Apple has in its servers might well be better than the copy you ripped sometime ago. This makes sense for Apple and consumers alike. It was the music companies that feared they wouldn’t be compensated for pirated music found on users iTunes files. The $25 will, no doubt, be shared with them.
Also cool is the picture sharing feature through the cloud. I have been testing a Wi-Fi flash memory card that automatically downloads pictures from my Sony digital camera to my laptop. The new iPhoto feature will automatically sync those new pictures with my iPad and iPhone when they are in Wi-Fi range.
Automatically updating software in the background is also slick. I suppose Lion users will be able to configure their computer to automatically update itself. Some people don’t bother to update their software regularly and with the expectation of Mac specific malware to increase, having an ability to quickly patch a vulnerability on millions of Macs would go a long way in reducing threats to the platform.
The Lion new feature information is still mostly held in reserve, with only about 10 out of 250 new features released. Details about the new Lion will come out in a way that can be fully absorbed by the press and consumers alike. What surprised me was the new price of only $29. Compare that with Microsoft’s PC OS prices.
While the history of Apple allowing its OS to run on non-Apple hardware is well known, I think Microsoft would roll up the sidewalks and sell off the office furniture if Apple were to release a 30-day trial version of Lion for use on any old PC. After that, PCs would have to junk their junk and buy a Mac.
I think people, long abused by the buggy software Redmond throws out the door, would be blown away when allowed to compare their Windows experience with Mac OS X, even running on a junk PC. The technical issues are really not a problem; it is only an Apple policy that needs to be reconsidered. Apple could destroy Microsoft with such a trial version program.
Remember, when dealing with Apple, they think differently.
That’s Greg’s Bite.

Users can create question sets of any kind through an easy-to-use interface. Question sets can be sent to the patient (Patient Set) or physician (Quality Set) and can be linked to a diagnosis and/or a procedure. In this way, users can create intuitive outcomes in minutes. If linked to a procedure (Procedure Question Set), the user can determine at what time points before and after the procedure they would like the question set to be automatically sent. If linked to a particular diagnosis/medical condition (Individual Question Set), the user can determine the date range and frequency of the question set. Surveys can be scheduled ahead of time or sent to the patient instantly.
When designing question sets, there are multiple answer choice formats and customizable survey branches to choose from. Surveys adjust based on a respondent’s answer. For example, if a post-operative patient is asked whether their wound is red and they answer “no”, they will be prompted with the next question. However, if they answer “yes”, they may be asked if they have any wound discharge and a temperature over 100°F.
An alert mechanism is also built into the DTX system. If the user would like an answer to a particular question to be triggered as an “alert,” they can indicate this when creating the question. The user can classify alerts as High, Medium, or Low, and can thus prioritize their response to these alerts.
If the patient selects the alerted response, an email notification detailing the alert and its corresponding priority level will immediately be sent to the provider along with an SMS notification. All alerts are sent to an Alert Dashboard located within the web portal; this dashboard acts as an audit log for the alerts and is color-coded to distinguish between priority levels. In the previous example, the provider can set the response of “yes” to the question “Is there wound discharge” to be a high priority alerted response where the provider, extender, and/or their assistant receive a notification.
In the DTX web portal, individual patient responses can be viewed. The Dashboard section of the portal enables a deep dive of all stored data. Advanced analytics shows aggregate responses for selected patient data; the data is easily filterable and can be viewed by question set type, question set name, demographic measures, and other factors. Physician data can be merged with patient outcome data in real-time allowing for instant risk stratification.
In addition, DTX allows users to compare outcomes from similar disease processes among other registered user groups. Users can benchmark themselves by comparing their results to a “DTX Average,” an aggregate of results from all relevant user groups. All dashboard data can be exported to Microsoft Excel for further analysis and viewing of selected data at the patient level.


Mobile site scrolls past content straight to the products. Can this affect our seo?

As our content can be quite long at the top, we introduced js anchor scroll going straight to the products, by passing the banner and the content at the top. Can this have an issue on seo?

Typically, collapsing lengthier content on a mobile site (with an option to expand/view the content if desired) in order to improve UX is not considered an issue for Google. However, anytime you're using JS, there's a risk that search engine crawlers won't be able to see what you're doing. You may want to test with JS disabled in your browser to get an idea of what they might be seeing otherwise.
What is the reason for the length of the content at the top of the page? Are you creating that content for users or for search engines? I'm guessing it's not really for users if you're auto-scrolling them past it? This is often something that Google can spot and discount the value of.
I would probably recommend (if possible) a "collapse and expand" approach to lengthy content at the top of the page, rather than autoscrolling down to the products. Show the beginning of that content and offer a "click to expand" if users want to read the full text. You could use JS for that expand and default a non-JS experience to simply display the full content, to ensure that search engines do see the full text. Or if the content includes images, consider removing the images or shrinking them for the mobile version of the site. You may also want to test shortening the length of the content on some of your pages and see whether this impacts performance in one direction or the other.
Hope that helps!

Do Page Anchors Affect SEO?
Hi everyone, I've been researching for the past hour and I cannot find a definitive answer anywhere! Can someone tell me if page anchors affect SEO at all? I have a client that has 9 page anchors on one landing page on their website - which means if you were to scroll through their website, the page is really really long! I always thought that by using page anchors instead of sending users through to a dedicated landing page, ranking for those keywords makes it harder because a search spider will read all the content on that landing page and not know how to rank for individual keywords? Am I wrong? The client in particular sells furniture, so on their landing page they have page anchors that jump the user down to "tables" or "chairs" or "lighting" for example. You can then click on one of the product images listed in that section of the page anchor and go through to an individual product page. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks!Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Virginia-Girtz1
Can I have my blog on http and the rest of the site on https?
I have an ecommerce site that is on https. We have a Wordpress blog for blogging, but we also have our help section located on it. I used a plugin to switch the blog to https but now have a few problems. 1. My sitemap generator still shows the blog as http and Google gives me a warning for the redirect. 2. When trying to use the Moz page grader I was told that I was in a redirect loop. 3. The pages do not seem to be getting indexed. It is a blog so there is never any information exchanged that is private. Would I be ok with just switching it to http? Or would Google see that as two different sites even though they have the same domain?Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | EcommerceSite0
Sites in multiple countries using same content question
Hey Moz, I am looking to target international audiences. But I may have duplicate content. For example, I have article 123 on each domain listed below. Will each content rank separately (in US and UK and Canada) because of the domain? The idea is to rank well in several different countries. But should I never have an article duplicated? Should we start from ground up creating articles per country? Some articles may apply to both! I guess this whole duplicate content thing is quite confusing to me. I understand that I can submit to GWT and do geographic location and add rel=alternate tag but will that allow all of them to rank separately? www.example.com www.example.co.uk www.example.ca Please help and thanks so much!

Wordpress.com content feeding into site's subdomain, who gets SEO credit?
I have a client who had created a Wordpress.com (not Wordpress.org) blog, and feeds blog posts into a subdomain blog.client-site.com. My understanding was that in terms of SEO, Wordpress.com would still get the credit for these posts, and not the client, but I'm seeing conflicting information. All of the posts are set with permalinks on the client's site, such as blog.client-site.com/name-of-post, and when I run a Google site:search query, all of those individual posts appear in the Google search listings for the client's domain. Also, I've run a marketing.grader.com report, and these same results are seen. Looking at the source code on the page, however, I see this information which leads me to believe the content is being credited to, and fed in from, Wordpress.com ('client name' altered for privacy): href="http://client-name.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/could_you_survive_a_computer_disaster.jpeg">class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2050" title="Could_you_survive_a_computer_disaster" src="http://client-name.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/could_you_survive_a_computer_disaster.jpeg?w=150&h=143" I'm looking to provide a recommendation to the client on whether they are ok to continue moving forward with this current setup, or whether we should port the blog posts over to a subfolder on their primary domain www.client-site.com/blog and use Wordpress.org functionality, for proper SEO. Any advice?? Thank you!Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | grapevinemktg0

From an SEO Standpoint, which is better for my product category URLs?
With our e-commerce store, we can customize the URL for the product categories, so we could have: http://www.storename.com/product-category-keywords/ or http://www.storename.com/product-category-keywords.html From an SEO standpoint (or even from a "trying to get links" standpoint), which would be better to have?

Opera Mini version 50 is now available on mobile devices with new features in its interface, in addition to features for data control. According to Andrzej Czarnecki, Opera’s product manager, this set of changes is the largest carried out on the platform in the past five years.
Right after the update, the browser will display an initial visual customization menu. With it, users will define themes (light, dark or automatic) and colors of the functional button frames. The idea here is that the experience in general can be more comfortable, especially in low light environments.
Through the promise of lightness and speed, Opera Mini brings a widget on the top bar to show, in real time, the amount of data saved during its use. Still in this sense, it offers a new ad blocker in partnership with Adblock Plus.
The browser also added a new style of file management, evidenced in the bottom bar, and an offline media sharing system between different devices via Bluetooth.
The Mini can be downloaded on Android devices, but remember that the browser is not available for iOS devices, in which the Touch edition must be used.

Bhattacharyya, K and Jamadagni, HS (2000) DCT Coefficient-Based Error Detection Technique for Compressed Video Stream. In: 2000 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo. ICME 2000, 30 July-2 August, New York,USA, Vol.3, 1483 -1486.
In the process of transmission of digital encoded video bit streams over a physical network, the data is corrupted by random bit errors, which has a severe effect on the decoded video quality. The success of an error concealment algorithm depends heavily on the detection of the corrupted regions. We propose a new error detection algorithm for discrete cosine transform based video coding. Our algorithm detects thus far undetectable erroneous regions with a very little increase in computational complexity. We show that erroneous blocks in the decoded frames can be detected by monitoring the variation of average energy from block to block. To avoid false detection due to the presence of strong edges we employ a very fast DCT coefficient based edge detection algorithm. Computer simulation shows that the quality of the recovered image is significantly improved in comparison to well-known methods.

Extracting Initial Iterative Control Signal Based on Trajectory Primitives Matching and Combining

Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China
The initial iterative control signal is often adopted a zero or a certain value in the conventional iterative learning control (ILC) system, and an ILC process needs to renew again as long as the desired trajectory is changed. In this paper, the NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) model is used for describing all trajectory primitives and the desired trajectory. It is studied that the problem of the initial iterative control signal is extracted in ILC, which presents a method of extracting the initial iterative control signal based on the trajectory primitive optimal matching and combining algorithm. Firstly, the definition of the similarity index between the two different spacial trajectories is introduced. Secondly, an optimal matching and combining algorithm is designed under a certain similarity index, which is used to find two or more combined primitive sequences with space patterns similar to the desired trajectory. Thirdly, the initial iterative control signals of the desired trajectory are extracted by using the control information of the combined primitive sequences. Finally, the simulation is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method.

Sangeeta Bhatia has built an artificial liverusing computing tools. "The premise is to borrow technologies invented in other areas, such as microprocessor manufacturing, and apply them to human health," says the biomedical engineer and director of the Laboratory for Multiscale Regenerative Technologies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). To arrange cells in the complex configuration needed to build a human organ, Bhatia turned to photolithography -- a method used to etch circuits on silicon microchips. The result is a pinhead-sized micro-liver (pictured right with Bhatia) that can be used to model hepatitis and other infections, as well as to test drugs. Bhatia has spun out a company called Hepregen to commercialise the invention. "We want to make implantable livers that would replace the need for transplants," says the 46-year-old. "It is one of the only human tissues that can regenerate large portions of itself."
Her team also invented a urine-based paper test for cancers. The patient is first injected with synthetic nanoparticles that interact with tumour proteins. "Those proteins cut off a fragment of the nanoparticle, which comes out in the urine," says Bhatia. It has accurately identified colon tumours in mice, and Bhatia is forming another company -- her third -- to develop the invention for human use. "I want to turn our potent ideas into products or companies or licences," she says. "I want to shepherd our best inventions out into the world."

Motorola has just announced its latest 4G LTE sporting phone for Verizon’s network, the Droid 4. The handset might come as a surprise to many since the Droid 3 has been available for hardly 7 months now.
The Droid 4 is based on the RAZR’s chassis, along with a five-row QWERTY keyboard. Motorola is dubbing the Droid 4 as the thinnest QWERTY packing 4G LTE compatible handset in the market right now.
Other than the thinness and the support for 4G LTE network, the Droid 4 shares similar internals to the Droid 3. The handset packs in a 4-inch qHD (640×960) display, a 1.2Ghz dual-core OMAP processor with PowerVR SGX540 GPU, 1 GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. All the other usual features like Wi-Fi, HDMI out, GPS, Bluetooth and sensors are also present.
At the back of the Droid 4 is an 8MP camera aided by an LED flash, which is capable of recording videos in 1080p HD resolution. The 1.3MP front-facing camera is also capable of recording videos in 720p HD resolution. The Droid 4 will run on Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread out of the box with a new version of MotoBLUR, which is nothing short of disappointing. Motorola should have launched the Droid 4 with Ice Cream Sandwich on-board, and not Gingerbread.
The Droid 4 is barely an update over Droid 3, and adds to the list of ‘less quality and more quantity’ handsets from Motorola. Looks like Motorola already forgot their promise of releasing fewer phones in 2012.
The Droid 4 will be available from Feb. 10th in all the retail Verizon stores for $199.99 on a two-year contract.

We discovered that the alchemy of transforming an event into an immersive experience goes beyond logistical prowess and delves into the realm of creativity. It’s about transcending the traditional and envisioning events as canvases of opportunities, waiting to be painted with vibrant hues of imagination.
However, in this age of digital transformation, creativity alone isn’t the panacea. The brushstrokes of an Experience Architect must be guided by the precision and possibilities offered by technology. As we transition from our exploration of creativity, it’s time to delve into the second Chronicle, where we uncover how technology is not just an enabler but a game-changer in the world of event planning.
Embarking on the journey from a traditional meeting planner to an Experience Architect involves more than a shift in mindset; it necessitates a mastery of the tools and technologies that can elevate events into immersive experiences…

The Domain Name Manager, integrated inside of the Control Panel will allow you to conveniently manage numerous domain names from a single place. Furthermore, it allows you to take care of your domains from the very same location you handle your web site. And GF Enterprises- Domains & Website Creation’s Domain Name Manager comes full of all of the tools you’ll ever require to have extensive command over your domain names.
Multi Domain Name
Update Whois, name servers, customized DNS
It doesn’t matter how many domain names you have, it is possible to deal with all of them with simply a click of the mouse via the GF Enterprises- Domains & Website Creation Domain Name Manager! You can easily edit the WHOIS info, modify the name servers as well as set unique DNS records to as many domain names as you wish directly from your Control Panel.
While using the Domain Name Manager, you will get direct access to the files of your respective domains and will be capable to change the bundled email accounts as well. At the same time, you are able to watch the web numbers for every single one of your domain names. The bulk option helps you register as well as renew a variety of domains at the same time.
Total DNS administration
Via the Domain Name Manager user interface, it will be easy to promptly alter beneficial DNS records for domains, registered or moved to your account. It will be easier to easily create unique: A, AAAA, MX, SRV, CNAME, TXT, etc. records, adjust them at a later time and also return to the default values if you are not satisfied with a certain alteration.
At any given moment, you are able to register your individual name servers – dns1.your–domain.com and dns2.your–domain.com to increase your brand recognition amongst users.
Park your domain names in as little as 1 step
Domain Parking is an effective solution which can be used to obtain alluring domains and put them online and never have to have websites. You can park as much domain names as you would like within the Domain Name Manager of your Control Panel. Parking a domain name will make it display an ’Under Construction’ webpage, a "for sale" page, or even point the domain to an alternative site.
As soon as you have your site available, you are able to host back your domain name with just a single click! Your newly uploaded site will get on the web instantly.
Redirect Your Domains
Forward your domain names to additional web addresses
From the Domain Name Manager, you are able to forward a domain name to a different domain name regardless of whether it is located inside of your cloud hosting account or someplace else. Within the simplified interface, you only need to pick the domain that you’d like to direct and after that specify the website url to where you want it to lead to. To be able to forward the domain name straight back to your Linux website hosting account, you need to click the ’Host Domain’ button and let a couple of seconds for the change to take place.
Domain redirection is most sought out in instances when you need 2 unique domain names to open up exactly the same site. In cases like this, you will get one of the domain names loaded with the website content and the additional domain name pointed to the same website content.
Whois Privacy Protection
Secure your details from abuse
Every single domain you register possesses your private information that will be generally visible by the public. As there is a possibility that someone employs the information for spamming purposes, you could take benefit of a WHOIS Privacy Protection service. It is going to obscure all personal data from the general public, in order that if somebody performs a WHOIS lookup, they’ll solely look at common info in lieu of yourprivate information.
However , don’t worry, if someone else needs to communicate with you with regards to your domain name – all communication requests are still sent to your mailbox.
A needs to have for every one online store
Any time you run a internet store that will take online payments or you have a client logon spot for your web site, you should consider installing an SSL Service for it. It’s a fast way to secure the link between your web site along with your site visitors, in order for the data transmitted such as bank card info and then login information is safe. From the Domain Name Manager, you can quickly get a completely new SSL certificate for your website.
An SSL certificate can be utilized simply for one website. If you require an SSL certificate for many different sites, you could take advantage of a Wildcard SSL certificate.

The Chart of the Week is a weekly Visual Capitalist feature on Fridays. Industrial robots have come a long way since George Devol invented "Unimate" in 1961. After pitching his idea to Joseph Engelberger at a cocktail party, the two soon saw their new creation become the first mass-produced robotic arm to be used in factory automation. Today, this robot class is raising the bar of global manufacturing to new heights, striking a seamless mix of strength, speed, and precision. As a result, demand for industrial robots keeps growing at a robust 14% per year, setting the stage for 3.1 million industrial robots in operation globally by 2020.
In terms of sheer speed and precision, delta robots are some of the most impressive to watch. They're also some of the most useful, for the same reasons--you can see them doing pick-and-place tasks in factories of all kinds, far faster than humans can. The delta robots that we're familiar with are mostly designed as human-replacement devices, but as it turns out, scaling them down makes them even more impressive. In Robert Wood's Microrobotics Lab at Harvard, researcher Hayley McClintock has designed one of the tiniest delta robots ever. Called milliDelta, it may be small, but it's one of the fastest moving and most precise robots we've ever seen.
Developing a robust, flexible, closed-loop walking algorithm for a humanoid robot is a challenging task due to the complex dynamics of the general biped walk. Common analytical approaches to biped walk use simplified models of the physical reality. Such approaches are partially successful as they lead to failures of the robot walk in terms of unavoidable falls. Instead of further refining the analytical models, in this work we investigate the use of human corrective demonstrations, as we realize that a human can visually detect when the robot may be falling. We contribute a two-phase biped walk learning approach, which we experiment on the Aldebaran NAO humanoid robot.
The creators of Mimus, a 1,200-kg (2646 lbs.) industrial robot that can sense and respond to human movement, believe it's possible. Part art-installation, part display of engineering ingenuity, Mimus was created from an ABB IRB 6700 robot and commissioned for the "Fear and Love" exhibit at The Design Museum with the goal of promoting companionship between humans and machines. The robot's creator notes that this particular machine is more like a "she" than an "it." Most industrial robots are made to perform repetitive tasks, but Mimus has no pre-planned movements and is instead programmed to freely explore the space around her and to interact with visitors. The exhibit designers wanted to replicate the experience of seeing a large, exotic animal at a zoo.
Manufacturing sites worldwide use industrial robots to streamline and automate operations. Japan has led the world in industrial robot technology, and now is about to spur an even greater evolution by combining this technology with an open source deep learning framework developed in Japan. Deep learning enables industrial robots to make judgments in complex operational situations by learning from past examples. Moreover, the learning can be shared between robots to increase efficiency. Watch this video to learn how this innovative approach will deliver previously unavailable levels of advanced automation in manufacturing.


We’re on the verge of one of the biggest infrastructure buildouts in history.
But it’s not bridges and tunnels being built…
Instead, what’s coming is a massive communications infrastructure project.
Its goal: to upgrade the current 4G (fourth generation) wireless network that connects your smartphones, laptops, and smart devices to the world wide web.
When it’s done, the fifth generation (5G) wireless network will deliver internet connection speeds 100 times faster than 4G.
This will turn a suite of science fiction-like technologies into a reality.
In fact, the full rollout of new tech such as self-driving cars, virtual reality, and remote robotic surgery hinges on the completion of this massive buildout.
And it’s not just new gadgets and faster connection speeds on the line…
Matter of National Security
President Trump says the 5G buildout is a matter of national security.
It’s the reason he signed an executive order blocking the merger of mobile chip giants Qualcomm and Broadcom earlier this year. The White House feared the merger would lead to reduced U.S. R&D spending on 5G equipment… and deliver the Chinese a competitive edge.
The president considers 5G so important, he even considered nationalizing large swathes of the 5G infrastructure.
The No. 1 Trend on Jeff’s Radar
To find out about the wealth-building opportunities 5G will make possible, we reached out to tech investor Jeff Brown.
Jeff is Inner Circle founder Bill Bonner’s go-to technology expert. He heads up our flagship tech stock advisory, The Near Future Report. He’s also a former Silicon Valley insider and an angel investor in tech startups.
Jeff has been tracking the rollout of 5G networks closely. It was the No. 1 idea he presented at our roundtable event in South Beach, Miami earlier this year.
As he reveals below, the 5G “arms race” is underway right now… and it’s going to send profits soaring for the select group of companies making 5G a reality.
Q&A With Jeff Brown
Chris Lowe: Let’s start with an important definition. What is 5G? And why is it so important?
Jeff Brown: When you connect to the internet on your computer, smartphone, or smart TV, a vast physical infrastructure makes that connection possible.
For instance, there’s a 500,000 mile-long network of fiber optic cables beneath the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It carries most of the world’s internet traffic. These transoceanic cables connect to vast land-based fiber optic networks, which in turn connect to consumers’ homes and businesses.
When we are out and about, we use the wireless network infrastructure. Wherever possible, the cell phone towers connect to the land-based fiber optic networks in order to send and receive data as quickly as possible.
Over the years, the network has evolved. Companies and governments built new infrastructure to support the next generation of wireless connectivity – such as new network towers, fiber optic cables, and personal electronics that can operate over these networks.
Critically, each network generation is an improvement on the last.
We built out the 1G network in the 1980s. Compared to what’s possible today, it didn’t allow you to do much. You could only place voice calls – there was no layer for carrying other types of data. And you had to use one of those brick-sized cell phones Gordon Gekko yaps into in the movie Wall Street.
Then, in the 1990s, we got 2G. Now, you could send and receive emails and text messages.
Then in the early 2000s, 3G brought faster connection speeds. The quality wasn’t always the best. But for the first time, you could stream video and audio.
Then we got the network we use today – 4G. It went live at the start of this decade. And it gave us connection speeds fast enough to reliably support video streaming and GPS location services. Without 4G networks, watching a high-quality video stream on Netflix would have been impossible.
Now, we’re shifting to the fifth generation of wireless networks – 5G. It’s the biggest improvement of any wireless network upgrade to date… and it’s going to make some “sci-fi” technologies a reality.
Chris: How much better is 5G than what we’ve got today?
Jeff: 4G was a disappointment. The developers that built the network thought it would deliver average download speeds of 100 megabits per second (Mbps). But on average, we can download at speeds of only about 10 Mbps.
[Megabits per second, or Mbps, measures internet connection and download speeds. To stream high-definition video from Netflix, you need download speeds of at least 5 Mbps.]
At 10 Mbps, the U.S. has some of the slowest internet speeds in the world. We’re in 50th place, behind Romania (at 27 Mbps) and Finland (at 17 Mbps). Even Dracula and the reindeers have internet speeds faster than most Americans.
But if we look at 5G, the peak speed jumps to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps). One gigabit is 1,000 megabits. So at peak speed, 5G will be 1,000 times faster than the average 4G connection we have today.
Even if we just assume average 5G speeds would be 10% of their potential, we’re still looking at 1,000 Mbps. I know that’s a lot of math. Bottom line: Average 5G speeds will be 100 times faster than what we have today.
Chris: What does that mean for internet users?
Jeff: First, it means faster download speeds. You will be able to download a movie in seconds and play online virtual reality games on your smartphone.
But there’s another reason why this is so essential…
Have you ever been on your smartphone and the call drops unexpectedly? Or maybe a website won’t load, no matter how many times you hit refresh.
This happens when the 4G wireless networks get congested. There are so many people trying to access data through the existing networks at once that the infrastructure gets packed up. It’s like a traffic jam at rush hour.
And the problem will only get worse, because the amount of data we are using is skyrocketing.
In the third quarter of 2016, we sent roughly seven exabytes of data per month. An exabyte is 100,000 times all the printed material in the Library of Congress. All the words ever spoken by human beings can be contained in five exabytes. It’s hard to get your head around.
But a year later, we sent nearly 12 exabytes of data – a month. That’s an annual growth rate of about 70%. And data traffic is expected to double in the next 18 months.
There’s no way the already overloaded 4G infrastructure will be able to handle this level of data transmission. 5G will clear this congestion on our wireless networks.
Chris: What sorts of new applications will be made possible by 5G?
Jeff: A big one is self-driving cars. Google (Waymo) and Tesla already have self-driving cars on the road. When I lived in Silicon Valley, I saw these cars on the road every day.
But they still need some intervention from a human driver from time to time. And right now, that sort of defeats the purpose of self-driving cars.
5G will change that…
Just consider what the U.S. military can already do. It can fly drones halfway around the world using satellite technology. It communicates with these drones through super-fast satellite connections. These allow real-time network connection with next-to-no delay.
The same thing could happen with self-driving cars hooked up over a 5G network. A human operator could oversee a fleet of self-driving cars, taxis, or semis, all from behind a desk somewhere.
These cars can mostly drive themselves. But a human operator would be able to take remote control if the vehicle encounters a tricky situation such as entering or exiting a busy freeway or entering a packed parking lot.
This kind of remote control isn’t possible today on our 4G networks. The “latency” – or delay – from the command to the response is about 100 milliseconds (0.1 seconds).
That may not seem like much. But when it comes to something as serious as the remote control of a car or a truck, the connection has to be near instantaneous.
With 5G, latency drops to 1 millisecond (0.001 seconds). It’s virtually nonexistent. That makes the remote control of self-driving vehicles possible.
Chris: Can you give me some real-world examples?
Jeff: Sure. Starsky Robotics is building a fleet of self-driving semi-trucks. It’s currently testing them in Florida. These trucks are able to drive themselves on a familiar setting, such as a freeway.
But a human operator will still be able to take over to manually back a truck into a loading dock or to help it exit a freeway.
Chris: Are there other examples of new tech that you’re excited about that will go mainstream once we get 5G networks up and running?
Jeff: With 5G data transfer speeds, hologram projectors, remote robotic surgery, and virtual reality will also be possible.
You’ll be able to “sit in” on a meeting by way of a holographic projection, even if you’re thousands of miles away.
A surgeon in New York will be able to operate on a patient in Sierra Leone, Africa with a robotic arm over a 5G connection.
And augmented and virtual reality visors – headsets that display information and data on the lenses – will give you real-time data on objects you’re looking at. So let’s say you glance at a restaurant as you pass by it on the street. You could choose to pull up more data on your visor, such as the menu or the opening hours.
The applications are endless. 5G is a game changer because of all the technological innovations it will give birth to. 5G will be responsible for $12 trillion of new goods and services by 2035. That’s about 60% of America’s total GDP in 2017.
Chris: Washington believes the 5G buildout is a matter of national security. Why?
Jeff: It’s not only a matter of national security, it’s a matter of economic growth. Countries that lead the way in deploying these networks will have a competitive economic advantage over other countries.
In the U.S. alone, roughly three million jobs and $500 billion in GDP growth will be created from this massive trend. Technology companies in the countries where these networks are first built out will be the first to develop the hardware and software enabling these 5G wireless services.
Then, as those companies sell their technology, services, and 5G expertise around the world, the economic benefit will continue to attribute to those leading countries.
Over the last few years, Chinese wireless technology companies Huawei and ZTE were found to have copied foreign technology to build the foundation of their products, which are sold around the world.
For context, Huawei supplies the infrastructure and support for more than half of the 537 4G networks around the world. Huawei was also found to have been using its technology to spy on U.S. network traffic. This led to both Huawei and ZTE being banned from the U.S. market, and several other western markets, over the same concerns.
The U.S. government sees it as an imperative for economic benefit that U.S. wireless networks are built out quickly and built of U.S. and European technology to ensure that the country’s networks are less likely to fall victim to foreign espionage.
Chris: What’s the U.S. doing about this?
Jeff: In March, the Trump administration blocked Broadcom, a Singapore-based technology company, from buying rival U.S. chipmaker Qualcomm.
Singapore, while its own country, is heavily controlled by Chinese Singaporeans. The concern was that Broadcom would force Qualcomm to cut back on its research and development into the 5G network. This would let Chinese company Huawei fill the void.
It’s why the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) – a Deep State agency that oversees foreign investments in American companies – recommended blocking the merger.
And in April, Washington banned the sale of American semiconductors to Chinese smartphone maker ZTE. It wants to launch a 5G-compatible smartphone by late this year or early next year. By banning ZTE from using U.S.-made microchips, the U.S. feds hope to slow them down.
We’ve even seen leaked documents out of the White House that suggested the Trump administration has considered nationalizing the 5G network. In other words, seizing control of these networks from AT&T, Verizon, and other service providers, and putting them in the hands of the government.
Chris: Would the U.S. government go that far?
Jeff: My hunch is this was a warning… a way to light a fire under the U.S. companies involved in the 5G buildout. The feds were saying, “Get out there and build these 5G networks quickly. Or we’ll do it for you.”
This was a very smart move by the current administration. And it worked. Verizon and AT&T – along with T-Mobile and Sprint, which are in the process of merging – are already building out these 5G networks.
The hope is to have the U.S. regain leadership in wireless network deployments, which will stimulate even stronger leadership in wireless network technology.
If the U.S. fails, the government fears America would be dependent on Chinese technology to make use of 5G. That gives China an enormous amount of leverage over the U.S.
Verizon is building out its 5G network in Sacramento, California. It says it will have 5G infrastructure built out in five or six other American cities before the end of the year.
AT&T is building out its 5G network in Waco, Texas. It also has a long list of cities it aims to have a presence in by the end of the year. One of them will likely be Atlanta.
And T-Mobile – the third-largest mobile communications provider in the U.S. – says it will be launching in 30 cities before 2018 is done.
The 5G infrastructure boom isn’t some distant event. It’s happening right now.
Chris: What’s the profit angle here?
Jeff: The 5G buildout is one of the tech trends I’m most excited about. Let me explain…
These buildouts happen in predictable phases. First, the physical infrastructure is put up. In this case, we’re talking about cell towers. For 4G, it took about 200,000 cell towers to build out a nationwide network.
A 5G network buildout will require around 1,000,000 cell towers – that’s a 5x increase in network towers. There will be a 5G tower on nearly every street corner. Most will be disguised as light poles.
Next, companies produce new digital devices that run on the new network. For 4G, that meant smartphones.
For 5G, we’ll see a complete replacement of all existing smartphones. And we’ll see 5G wireless devices in cars, trucks, semi-trailers, trains, as well as a completely new generation of wireless broadband devices. This will be the first-time wireless network operators will be able to offer high-speed broadband services to consumers that are as fast as what they are receiving from their local CATV providers.
Finally, companies and developers make applications that can be used on top of these networks. For 4G, these included Uber and Netflix.
In the world of 5G, we’ll be experiencing an explosion of new applications around augmented reality, virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, holographic telepresence, and so much more.
Right now, we’re still in the first phase – the buildout of the physical infrastructure.
Spending on the 4G wireless infrastructure hit about $200 billion a year at its peak.
The best bet right now is to look at the companies that will handle the physical infrastructure. American Towers is a good example…
The company puts up cell towers. It was instrumental in the 4G buildout that started in 2011. And it’s also going to be heavily involved in erecting and maintaining the towers used in the 5G buildout.
As this story unfolds, look to companies responsible for producing the components that go into 5G-compatible smartphones, then to companies building applications like virtual reality and self-driving vehicles on top of the 5G networks.
For now, physical infrastructure is the best option. Betting on companies that were instrumental to the 4G buildout, such as American Towers, is an easy way to gain exposure.
What to Do
Chris here – As Jeff said, there’s a lot riding on the 5G wireless buildout.
This isn’t a prediction. It’s a trend already in motion – the best kind for investors.
American Towers (AMT) climbed 180% from 2011, when the 4G buildout kicked off, to today.
If Jeff’s investment case is correct, it will continue to profit as 5G transforms America’s wireless networks.
Until next week.

Part of Prey not working (Prey account, mobile app, a specific action or module, reports): Cannot delete account
Could you please describe the problem?
I had Prey installed on a dual-boot computer. I had prey installed on the Windows 10 partition, and the Ubuntu 16.04 partition, so it showed up as two separate computers in my prey devices page (makes sense). I wanted to remove this device from my prey account, and from the PreyProject Control Panel on the website I successfully removed the Windows 10 computer. However, when I went to remove the Ubuntu computer, I got this message:
"Error occurred. Unable to remove your device. Please try again."
I keep clicking "Yes, delete this device" but the same screen reappears.
And finally, please attach a screenshot if available (you can drag and drop images)
