This new Honda does 483 miles per hour

A HondaJet is displayed at the venue
of a press conference at Haneda
international airport in Tokyo on
April 23, 2015.
It's a very different kind of vehicle
Honda's luxury play has traditionally
been the Acura. But the latest high-
priced offering from the auto maker
will be an ultrafast jet.
The Japanese company is awaiting
final approval from the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration to sell a
seven-seat business jet called the
"HondaJet." The price? Around $4.5
million.
The Wall Street Journal took a flight
in the jet with Honda Aircraft CEO
Michimasa Fujino, who has worked
on the project for decades. "This
airplane is my art piece," he said in
an interview.
Honda is taking the jet on a road
show, kicking off in Switzerland and
eventually demonstrating the plane
across several other key European
markets. Honda's entry into aviation
makes it an upstart member of an
exclusive club of airplane makers.
The jet also adds to an aerospace
renaissance for Japan, which has long
supplied parts and materials to the
aviation industry but hasn't recently
made its own planes. In addition to
Honda, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
is separately developing its own
plane.
The jet is Honda's first commercial
aircraft, produced by its North
Carolina-based Honda Aircraft
division. The potential FAA approval
puts the plane on pace for delivery to
customers around the middle of this
year, the Journal reports.

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...

Changing nature of the rules of the game. 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.
