Teenage mother uses her 2-year-old to carjack a good Samaritan





A woman was arrested after she stole a car from a woman, who gave her a ride.

Taylor Brianne Griffin, 19, of Duluth, Minnesota, used her 2-year-old son to hitch a ride.



A 77-year-old offered to help the teen mother so her child does not have to walk in the cold.

However, Griffin repaid the woman by stealing her car and purse, police said.

According to police, Griffin approached the 77-year-old woman at Walmart in Hermantown, at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Griffin told the woman that she was stranded and asked if she could take her home in West Duluth. Griffin offered the woman money for the ride home.

The victim felt bad that the child was out in the cold, and said the money was not necessary.

At one point during their drive home, Griffin pulled the woman from the car, threw her to the ground, took off with the woman's purse and other belongings.

Officers later spotted the stolen vehicle, and saw the suspect with her child leaving the residence, police said.

Police found the victim’s credit cards, cell phone and other stolen items in Griffin’s possession.

Griffin is being held in St. Louis County Jail on charges of first-degree aggravated assault, auto theft and child endangerment

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

As search engines strive to improve the quality of search results, some ranking factors shift shapes, others fall into oblivion, and completely new ones arise out of nowhere. To help you stay ahead of the game in 2018, here’s a list of the most prominent trends that are gaining momentum, with tips on how you can prepare for each. 1. The rise of SERP features Are you assuming a #1 organic ranking is  the  way to get as much traffic as possible? Think again.

It has gone all the way from “10 blue links”… … to something that makes you feel like you’re part of a Brazilian carnival. What can you do about it?
