The Chevy Bolt doesn't even come close to Tesla's new Model 3

After all, GM beat Tesla to the punch with rolling out an affordably-priced electric car at $37,500 before federal tax exemptions. Not only does it have solid speed capabilities — it can get to 60 miles per hour in under seven seconds — but it boasts a long range of 200 miles. The Chevy Bolt will be available for purchase at the end of 2016.
But Tesla's Model 3, revealed Thursday night, simply offers more as an affordable electric car.
First of all, the Model 3 is cheaper. It costs $35,000 before federal tax exemptions, beating out the already low cost of the Chevy Bolt.
But it also has better specs than the Chevy Bolt. The Model 3 has a range of 215 miles and can get to 60 miles per hour in under six seconds. Tesla CEO Elon Musk added that these are
baseline specs they are working to exceed by the time the car is released in either late 2017 or early 2018.
Perhaps more importantly, the Model 3 comes with semi-autonomous features. The Chevy Bolt only comes with lane assist to help drivers avoid
accidents. But Tesla's Autopilot hardware comes standard in the Model
3. That means the Autopilot safety features, like side collision warning and automatic braking, will come with the Model 3 after you drop the
$35,000.
If you want Tesla's Autopilot "convenience features," like self-parking and lane switching, you'll have to pay an extra $3,000, Musk confirmed to Tech Insider Thursday.
Still, if you opt to go that route, you're dropping $38,000 for the Model 3 before federal tax exemptions. That's only $1,000 more than the entire cost of the Chevy Bolt, which doesn't come close to offering the same semi- autonomous features as the Model 3.
The Model 3 also has an impressive 15-inch touchscreen compared to the Chevy Bolt's 10-inch one.
And let's just be honest: the Model 3 sure is pretty.
Sorry Chevy, but if I have more than $35,000 to drop, I'm going with Tesla.

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...

Game-changing SEO trends that will dominate 2018.

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. Increasingly, SERP features (local packs, Knowledge panels, featured snippets and so on) are stealing searchers’ attention and clicks from organic listings. And it’s only fair if you consider the evolution the Google SERP has been through. 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?
