Posted on 7th Aug 2011 at 14:27 by Podcast with 3 comments

Aaaand we're back for another enthralling hardware podcast. This week we've got Antony, Paul, Clive and Harry talking everything from fact to complete and utter fiction.

We start with a chat about PCI Express 3, whether we need it and why motherboard manufacturers are bringing PCI-E 3 motherboards to market already. If you're looking at a motherboard upgrade any time soon, should a PCI-E 3 compliant board be a priority?

We also have talk about AMD's forthcoming Bulldozer processors, with Antony telling us how he got on testing a number of Bulldozer-compatible Socket AM3+ boards earlier this month.

Also thrown in for good measure is a mention of Asus' soon to be released headset, and a discussion about whether the Antec Kuhler H2O 920 shows that closed-loop liquid cooling has come of age.

As always, we've also set up our weekly competition, the lucky winner of which will walk away with, errr, some random stuff from our labs (we're between prizes at the moment).

7 SEO Myths You?re Probably Following

SEO. Just the mention of it will flood your Twitter stream with spam replies and start the ?gurus? knocking at your inbox door. But really, SEO isn?t as big of a mystery as many would make it out to be. Oh sure, there are some hard and fast rules when it comes to the good versus the bad, but many of the important parts about SEO can simply be followed by writing good content.

Chances are that you?ve seen a rumor or two or fifty floating around about the different things that you should or shouldn?t do all in the name of SEO. While I don?t claim to be an expert there are quite a few things that get mentioned to me on a regular basis by people starting their websites so I thought I?d pass those on to you here.

SEO Is Done Once

Let?s start by killing this myth right off the bat. SEO is a constant process, driven primarily by how you choose to write your content. While there are a few ?set and forget? items that count toward your overall search ranking, much of what needs to happen will come into play with every single item that you post to your website.

Keyword Density Matters

Want to see your site disappear from Google search results? Just stuff a bunch of useless keywords into everything you post. While it used to be true that having repetitive keywords (nearly to the point of making something unreadable) would help you to appear higher in search rank, that?s been fixed ages ago.

Today, with Google?s Panda algorithm, it?s not only fixing the problem it?s also penalizing the people who are still causing it. Instead of only searching for keyword stuffing, Panda is also analyzing quality and ?trustworthiness? of a site. So, stuff all you want and watch your competitors fly past you.

Content Is King

OK, so content does matter. It matters a lot, actually. If you have great content, people will read what you?re writing. That?s important. But it?s not the only thing that matters. You can?t have a site that?s completely SEO-free and hope to get by on content alone. It?s a fine balance and one that many people screw up to the point of being relegated to obscurity.

Trade Links to Gain Rank

Find a site that you want to link to because you find them valuable? That?s great! Go ahead! Listing a huge amount of links that are completely unrelated to your content, just to get backlinks from them? That?s stupid. Please stop. Remember that section about keyword density and being trustworthy? That applies here, too. If you?re starting a site that will focus on water filters but you?re being linked to by a bunch of sites that talk only about medical marijuana, that?s not going to get you anywhere.

No. Just no. We use H3?s around here at TNW pretty often, but we don?t do it for SEO purposes, we do it because it makes things easier to read. When you?re looking at a big wall of text on a screen it?s really easy to get lost. Visual elements such as images, Hx breaks and the like make it significantly easier to find your place again after you blink. Again, it?s not about SEO, it?s about providing content and making that content easy to digest.

PPC Ads Kill Your Ranking

Nope. Not even close. In fact, as detailed at Search Engine Land, there are almost as many people who believe that they can help you as those who believe that they hurt you. Now, if the ads that you?re running contain code that is seen as bad, that could cause a problem. Even then, search crawlers are likely to notice that the content didn?t come from your site and you won?t be penalized for them.

Flash Kills Your SEO

This is a yes and no problem. If you run your entire site (including navigation) in Flash then yes there is a chance that it will hurt your ranking. If you want to include a Flash element or two on the page then that?s not going to hurt matters (unless an iPad user tries to browse it). What?s not advisable, however, is including your textual content via Flash. Doing so will make your content unavailable to many users who do not or can not run Flash and it doesn?t tend to make the crawlers very happy either.

So there you have it. These aren?t the only 7 myths around, that?s for certain. What?s less certain though is how these things will change as time goes on. The short version of the story? Just write good content, follow the basics and don?t worry about writing for the search engines. If enough people are reading your content, the search engines are going to find you unless you do things to run them away.

TabCo reveals itself as Fusion Garage, unveils Grid 10 tablet

The proverbial cat has been let out of the bag as it has been revealed that mystery company TabCo is actually Fusion Garage, makers of the defunct JooJoo tablet. The company introduced two new products today during a ?live? webcast, the Grid 10 tablet and the Grid 4 smartphone.

The Grid 10 tablet features a dual-core Nvidia Tegra II processor operating at 1.2GHz, 512MB of RAM and 16GB of storage. Highlights of the device include a high-resolution 1366 x 768 display and a custom Grid OS based on an Android kernel.

Grid OS is not a reskin of Android, but a new OS completely, says Chander Rathakrishnan, CEO of Fusion Garage. The OS features Bing integration, which the company claims is better than the default Google search bundled with most Android products. 

As the name suggests, the home screen of the device is based on a grid map used to organize clusters, or folders.

TabCo kicked off a marketing campaign earlier this summer with promises to revolutionize the tablet industry. Multiple teaser videos have been released over the past few months, mostly poking fun at Apple?s successful iPad. But why did Fusion Garage go through all of the trouble of creating an expensive ad campaign under a fake company name?

Fusion Garage?s JooJoo tab was a complete failure and as such, the brand was likely tarnished in the eyes of consumers. Rathakrishnan noted in the webcast that he wanted to hype Grid 10 as an exciting new product without the association of Fusion Garage and JooJoo. He wanted customers to judge the product itself, not build an opinion based on Fusion Garage?s past.

The 16GB Wi-Fi only Grid 10 sells for $499 while a 3G-enabled model can be yours for $599. Pre-orders are being accepted now on Fusion Garage?s website with units scheduled to ship September 15. Furthermore, anyone that bought a JooJoo tablet will be provided a Grid 10 free of charge.

Mozilla Wants a Browser to Control Your Phone

The makers of the Firefox browser are trying to create a mobile browser powerful enough to run your smart phone.

The Mozilla Foundation's Boot 2 Gecko project is part of a shift toward software that runs largely on the Web?instead of on the device itself?for all sorts of tasks, and on all sorts of gadgets.

Boot 2 Gecko is similar to Google's browser-based Chrome OS, an operating system built into the browser. But the Mozilla effort could have a broader impact, by changing the way all Web browsers function, not just Mozilla's.

Mozilla engineers want to significantly expand the things browsers can do. They want the browser to access the contacts list and other data on a device, and connect to the camera and other hardware. The final step will be to replace the phone's operating system itself. The effort will start, naturally enough, with Firefox (Gecko is the name of the rendering engine at the heart of the Firefox browser).

If it succeeds, the Boot 2 Gecko project will move many of the functions now carried out by mobile operating systems?Android, Apple's iOS, WebOS, MeeGo, and others?into the browser itself. Basic phone functions like the dialer would be recoded in JavaScript so they could run in the browser. In time, almost all of the functions of a conventional operating system could run in the browser, in code cached on the phone and updated from the Web when necessary. Ultimately, say those involved, this trend would eliminate the need for proprietary operating systems, replacing them all with open standards that could run on any mobile browser.

"On the Web, an application is accessible to everyone, regardless of operating system. This should be the same with applications on phones," says Mike Shaver, Mozilla's vice president of technical strategy.

It isn't the first time that someone has tried to build an open-source Web-based OS. Ben Francis, founder of the Webian browser-based OS project, sees the Mozilla team's efforts as complementary to his own. While the Webian project focuses on "the user experience for a device dedicated to browsing the Web," the Mozilla team is pushing for new capabilities to be built into Web browsers?such capabilities are already the backbone of many sophisticated websites.

Ironically, underneath the hood of Mozilla's  prototype Boot 2 Gecko platform is the core of one of the platforms it hopes to supplant?Android. As the Mozilla team outlined on the developer forum for the project, it needed a basic, stable kernel on which to build the platform to avoid spending too much time simply getting the prototype to boot up.

Ultimately, contends Boot 2 Gecko developer Mike Shaver, the project is about developing standards that will run in any browser, on any core software, and on any hardware?rendering the choice of prototype platform irrelevant.

Boot 2 Gecko also differs from most mobile platforms in that it is not designed to give any one company an advantage. "That's an important difference between what we're doing and proprietary mobile stacks today," says Shaver. "We don't want a competitive advantage for Mozilla, we want a competitive advantage for the Web."

As Mozilla contributor Robert Kaiser pointed out in the initial discussion following the announcement of the project, the end result may not look anything like a conventional browser.

"It's likely that [mobile Web apps] would run in something that didn't have all the usual trappings of a browser, but the underlying technology would be the same," Shaver wrote.

Truly open Web technologies in this mold would have another advantage over native ones?endless customizability. Don't like your phone dialer? Just download a different one. It's easy to see how some makers of mobile devices wouldn't like that. "I expect some heel-dragging from those who stand to benefit from closed proprietary systems," says Francis.

Aaaand we're back for another enthralling hardware podcast. This week we've got Antony, Paul, Clive and Harry talking everything from fact to complete and utter fiction.

We start with a chat about PCI Express 3, whether we need it and why motherboard manufacturers are bringing PCI-E 3 motherboards to market already. If you're looking at a motherboard upgrade any time soon, should a PCI-E 3 compliant board be a priority?

We also have talk about AMD's forthcoming Bulldozer processors, with Antony telling us how he got on testing a number of Bulldozer-compatible Socket AM3+ boards earlier this month.

Also thrown in for good measure is a mention of Asus' soon to be released headset, and a discussion about whether the Antec Kuhler H2O 920 shows that closed-loop liquid cooling has come of age.

As always, we've also set up our weekly competition, the lucky winner of which will walk away with, errr, some random stuff from our labs (we're between prizes at the moment).
