Zynga Beats Q1 Estimates With Revenues Of $321 Million As Mobile Usage Climbs To 21M Daily
Zynga's revenues rose 32 percent to $321 million in the first quarter, beating analysts' estimates of $316.8 million in revenue and earnings of 5 cents a share excluding stock-based expenses. Bookings* came in at a record $329 million, up 15 percent over the year before, and up 7 percent compared to the previous quarter -- meaning Zynga didn't see that seasonal decline in revenues that Facebook did. The company said revenue growth was driven by the launch of games like Hidden Chronicles and Castleville and its increasing footprint on mobile platforms. Overall, Zynga posted a net loss of $85.4 million, mostly because of stock-based expenses. Excluding those expenses of $133.9 million, Zynga would have had earnings per share of 6 cents or $47 million. That would be down 38 percent from the year before. The company also raised its annual guidance to $1.425 billion to $1.5 billion in bookings, up from $1.35 to $1.45 billion. Shares are down 1 percent in after-hours trading to $9.33.george will obama birth certificate nick cannon lindsay lohan saturday night live snl lindsay lohan valley fever project x

Netflix brought into the Sony Entertainment Network fold for British Bravia buffs
Britons and citizens of the ROI! Sony's bringing Netflix to all Sony Entertainment Network-connected devices. It looks like Kaz Hirai's plan to "unify" the company and its media offerings is beginning to gain a little momentum. If you have a SEN-connected 2012 Bravia TV or Blu-ray player, then the app should be available soon -- although no-one seems to know precisely when. If you're on PS3, or in the States, then Netflix is old news, so don't bother with the press release after the break

Drone-curious? FAA reveals UAV operators near you

Thanks to their awkward and tuneless YouTube video "Hot Girl Problems," two 17-year-old girls from Los Angeles have the dubious distinction ... Read more

Most people are aware that the military uses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) overseas in wars and other operations. But there are also hundreds in operation here in the U.S., newly released records show. The Federal?Aviation?Administration has made public various?documents and certificates that describe the locations and owners of drones throughout the country.
But don't put on your tinfoil hats just yet: the organizations and agencies that own and operate these drones seem to have legitimate uses for them, and the companies that make the drones have gotten special certification from the FAA to sell them.
The Army, Navy and Air Force all use them, plus NASA, NOAA,?the FBI, and the Departments of Defense, Energy, Agriculture, and?Homeland Security. Plus about two dozen universities and research departments.?Lastly are the various police departments: Seattle, Arlington,?Houston, Miami-Dade and more.
That last group is perhaps the most worrying: for border patrol units, it makes fiscal sense to have drones instead of jeeps or surveillance towers. But in-city policing could be a minefield of privacy and safety concerns.
The EFF, which requested this information, has parsed it into map form based on the locations of the organizations listed. What the information doesn't reveal, however, is what kind of drone they use and what they use it for. The FAA does say this data is forthcoming.
Drones operating in your area could easily just be being used to monitor high-risk areas for wildfires, or to take atmospheric readings. And the police, too, should have documented, limited uses for them. But if you're curious or perhaps (justifiably) a bit paranoid, all that is or soon will?be public information. Ask your local?police department or government representative if you're worried.

Strong corporate earnings push stocks higher
NEW YORK (AP) ? Stronger profits from Microsoft, McDonald's and other major U.S. corporations pushed stocks higher Friday. Optimism from Europe helped brighten the mood.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 88 points to 13,052 at 1:30 p.m. in New York.
"There's been a wrestling match all week long between strong earnings and weak economic data," said Lawrence Creatura, a portfolio manager at Federated Investors, the money-management firm. "At the moment, earnings are winning."
Before the market opened, McDonald's posted better quarterly profits, buoyed by warm weather and sales of new menu items like Chicken McBites and oatmeal. Sales picked up even in Europe, McDonald's' biggest market, despite economic turmoil and severe weather.
Microsoft beat analysts' projections with quarterly earnings and revenue, and sales in its Windows division were surprisingly strong. And General Electric posted a profit of more than $3 billion, helped by orders for locomotives, aircraft engines and other equipment.
In Europe, Germany's DAX rose 1.2 percent, and other major stock indexes were slightly higher. A closely watched survey in Germany, the continent's economic powerhouse, showed business optimism rising for the sixth straight month. Economists had expected a decline.
In other trading, the Standard & Poor's 500 index added six points to 1,383. The Nasdaq composite index rose 10 points to 3,018.
All three indexes appear headed for weekly gains. The Dow is up 1.8 percent for the week, but it hasn't been a smooth ride. Better earnings reports and higher retail sales helped drive the stock market up to start the week. The Dow rose 194 points on Tuesday, its best day in more than a month.
Then worries about Europe came storming back. Markets reversed course Wednesday, after the Bank of Spain said that the amount of bad loans held by Spanish banks rose to an 18-year high.
If those banks falter, it would put pressure on Spain's already troubled government to prop them up. Weak reports on jobs, housing and manufacturing in the U.S. added to the selling pressure. The Dow slumped 151 points in two days.
"It's been like the weather here in upstate New York ? unpredictable," Creatura said. "One day is up, the next day is down."
With no worrying news out of Europe on Friday, U.S. Treasury prices fell for just the second time this week. The price of the 10-year Treasury dropped slightly, nudging its yield to 1.98 percent from 1.97 percent the day before.
Among stocks making big moves in the United States:
? Oil services giant Schlumberger Ltd. rose 4 percent. The company's quarterly profits jumped almost 38 percent as strong drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico and the Middle East offset a slowdown in North America's natural gas fields. Schlumberger said that world oil demand appears to have "stabilized" and that the risk of a double-dip recession has declined.
? E-Trade Financial Corp. jumped 6.8 percent, the largest gain in the S&P 500. The online broker reported a 40 percent jump in first-quarter profit after the close of trading Thursday, beating Wall Street estimates with the help of a big tax benefit.
? SanDisk Corp. plummeted 13 percent, the S&P's biggest loser. The flash memory maker said late Thursday that weak demand and low prices cut its quarterly profit by nearly half. SanDisk warned that it expects the trend to continue.

SEO 101: Getting Your Website on Google - Savvy Online Business ...
In my bio, giving my elevator pitch and in general conversation I purposely stopped mentioning the term ?search engine optimization?, also known as, SEO. Because I?m not sure why, but those 3 words (or 3 letters) scare people. I would see their eyes glazing over because they think it?s too technical or they don?t need to understand it for their WordPress website.? WRONG!
First, SEO is not something you ?Do? to your website once then walk away. Second, SEO is not something you implement then expect immediate results overnight. In fact, a good SEO website strategy takes time and consistency.
So, if you have ever wanted to ask this question ?I need to know how to SEO my website? this quick 3-part tutorial lays out the basics in plain language. Here?s what you need to know:
Discover relevant keywords your leads are using to search Google
There is so much content on the internet driving web traffic in many directions. Everybody (and I do mean everybody) from TV shows, the local and national news programs, big brands like Pepsi and Nike, athletes: football, baseball, tennis players and radio personalities ? you name it they all have a blog, Google+, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and a host of other online content driven networks.
And they all want the same thing (and you should too)?to drive internet traffic to their websites and blog. But not just any traffic they want (again, and you should too) ?Targeted? traffic?. Targeted traffic is filled with people who are looking for something specific and ready to whip out their credit card to buy when they find it. Listen up! In order to make sales you need traffic PERIOD! I said it before and I?ll say it again using keywords is your website?s secret weapon to driving traffic.
Drive targeted website traffic using your keywords to create fresh content?
Don?t under estimate the importance of knowing what people search for online as it relates to your business. Is NOT using keywords effectively crushing your business? You can get started now with these Little Known Ways To Use Keywords To Increase Targeted Traffic
Targeted keywords help your website do most of the client attraction work for you. ?Yet there are business owners who continue to spin their wheels marketing online (and probably not getting the results they expect) because they don?t have a keyword strategy.
I know you have heard it before and you will hear it again and again. Why? Original, relevant content is regarded as the most important commodity on the internet. It doesn?t matter whether you blog for a big brand, just created your blog yesterday or have been blogging for years, you need content. Content is what drives website traffic. Fresh content keeps not only your visitors coming back but Google too. Content is internet fuel, without it your website is not moving or growing.
Make your website social media friendly
In my blog post 3 Easy Strategies To Drive Traffic To Your Blog Strategy #3 explains why the community you belong to will help you drive traffic to your website or blog without even asking. In fact, 2008 Seth Godin wrote a bestselling book called ?Tribes? which he explained why everyone needs a Tribe. One of his key points was how blogs and social networking sites are helping tribes get bigger.
Your goal is to make it easy for visitors to share your content on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn or one of the many social bookmarking sites. Don?t worry if you have not or afraid to jump on the social media bandwagon you do not need a Twitter or Facebook account to use these tools on your website or blog. Try using these 3 Tools To Make Your Website Or Blog Social Media Friendly
Believe me, if you get these basic strategies right, using SEO effectively you can get more and better leads with less effort.

Pulled PSP titles restored to the Vita, security holes covered with tape
Seething about the removal of Everybody's Tennis or Motorstorm: Arctic Edge from the PlayStation Store? Relax, Sony's restored both PSP-titles in time for you to play 'em all through the weekend. Of course, both are now neutered (along with the Vita's firmware) so they can't be used to load arch-hacker Wololo's Vita Half-Byte Loader -- but it hardly matters, they've already got another top-secret exploit ready to launch on an unsuspecting world.
