However, things changed after she became pregnant with her son. She worked up until the day she went into labor. Thankfully, her boss approved for her to work remotely from home to spend more time with her newborn.  “At that time, I was the only remote employee who worked for this company,” she told Business Insider. “Working at home wasn’t a luxury a lot of other people had the option to do, and I felt grateful.

Fans vs. Friends: What’s the Disparity?

The most common early mistakes made by artists is blurring the line between friends and fans. Be sure that you are continuously conscious of the difference between the two, or you may end up losing both of them.  NB: A friend loves you. A fan loves your work. It’s as simple as that. Now, if you’re lucky you will have both: friends who are also big fans of your work, and fans who become friends. But the distinction is important, and as artists, whether you are a writer, musician, tv show, photographer, etc. I believe your level of success is tied to how well you understand the difference. YOUR FRIENDS The early stage of an artist’s career is the only period of time where the artist will have more friends than fans. Because of this, many artists make the mistake of marketing their music and shows to friends instead of building a fanbase. Friends may not always love your art, and that is perfectly fine.  While they may not know the words to all of your songs, friends are often be...

Samsung Galaxy S11 tipped to feature next-gen 108MP image sensor

Samsung earlier this year announced its ISOCELL Bright HMX camera sensor in collaboration with Chinese electronics maker Xiaomi. This mind-bending 108-megapixel image sensor could usher in a new era of smartphone photography and we won’t have to wait much longer to see what it is capable of. Mobile tipster Ice Universe on Twitter claims there is a “high probability” that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S11 smartphone will feature “a new” 108-megapixel sensor.

iPhone 12’s the most exciting new feature might have already leaked

A couple of weeks ago, Apple afternoon reported fiscal fourth-quarter earnings of $3.03 per share, handily beating the Street’s consensus on the back of record revenue totaling $64 billion. Anytime Apple has recorded a big beat like that in the past, we all knew that it could be attributed almost entirely to strong iPhone sales — but that’s not the case anymore. Top smartphone markets around the world are saturated and flagship devices are more expensive than ever, so people are keeping them longer than they have in the past. As a result, Apple recently adjusted its strategy to focus more on services and wearables. Considering Apple’s top smartphone rival Samsung just reported September-quarter profit that plummeted a whopping 56% on year, it’s fairly safe to say that Apple made the right decision by branching out. There’s really no question that adjusting its strategy to rely less on iPhone sales was the proper move, but there’s also no question that the iPhone is still A...

I Will Not Put Pressure On My Players, Says Leicester’s Rodgers

Leicester City’s Northern Irish manager Brendan Rodgers reacts following the English Premier League football match between Crystal Palace and Leicester City at Selhurst Park in south London on November 3, 2019. Leicester won the match 2-0. Ben STANSALL / AFP Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said he will not put extra pressure on his players by publicly targeting a top four finish in the Premier League after a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace moved the Foxes up to third. Rodgers’s men smashed Southampton 9-0 last Friday, but were made to work much harder for all three points by a resilient Palace. Caglar Soyuncu’s stooping header from James Maddison’s corner just before the hour mark made the breakthrough and Jamie Vardy’s hot streak continued when he finished off an excellent team move two minutes from time. Leicester edge ahead of Chelsea on goal difference and six points clear of fifth-placed Arsenal, who they host next weekend, in the early battle for a place in next seas...

China rolls out world's biggest 5G network

Three state-owned carriers revealed their 5G data plans this week What just happened? China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom have launched 5G services across 50 cities in the country including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Huawei, blacklisted by the US, reportedly played a major role in China's 5G rollout. The launch of the network was initially planned for next year but got pulled ahead of schedule by the state-owned carriers. 5G networks have rolled out in several parts of the western world, but China's roll-out of the technology on Friday is reportedly the world's largest (yet). Prices of 5G plans by all three state-run telecom operators start at around $18 / month (30GB /500 call minutes) and scale up to $85 / month (300GB / 3,000 call minutes), which some experts say are potentially still too high for widescale adoption, given China's per-capita income. Reportedly, download speeds will also vary according to data plans. Subscribers o...
