Search Engine Optimization can be an almost infinitely complex subject. You can easily get caught up in all the fun details of latent semantic indexing, canonicalization, and c block hosting, but it’s much easier to focus on a simple holistic approach. One concept that has helped me learn most in this field is to look at search engines the same as you would any other user.

Far too many people get caught up in “How do I get my site to the top of Google?!!?” and they forget that Google is actually the one that wants to put you “at the top”. Google wants to look at your site as any other user would and then make a judgment on how likely they are to tell their “friends” about you. The entire purpose of a Search Engine is to return accurate and meaningful results to the person who submits the query. If the search engine fails at this, then their customer will try another query, maybe one more, and then finally give up try another search engine. They’ve essentially lost a customer.

Fans of the classic tunes from adventure series The Legend of Zelda will get a chance to hear those tracks performed by a live orchestra.

Nintendo is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the franchise with a symphony concert this fall and a full tour launching next year.

A 70-piece orchestra and choir will perform a variety of songs from The Legend of Zelda's 25-year history.

The first symphony concert will be held in Los Angeles on Oct. 21, and a tour is planned for 2012. Tickets start at $35.

Readers may recall hearing the orchestra play at Nintendo's E3 2011 media briefing last month. Here's footage from the event:

This gives new meaning to the industry term "going gold."

Nintendo will launch a special bundle for adventure game The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword that will include a gold Wii remote.

The publisher also says initial copies of the game will feature a CD with orchestral arrangements performed at the 25th anniversary symphony concert in October.

The golden bundle will sell for $69.99, and launch with standard copies of the game on Nov. 20.

Because of efforts by the Institute and other organizations, the sudden infant death rate is at an all time low. Since 1983, the rate of SIDS has fallen by over 50 percent. Sadly, there are still about 2,500 deaths per year in the United States, and thousands more throughout the world.
We believe that within our lifetime, we can eliminate SIDS as a cause of infant death, but only with the financial and personal support of corporations, foundations and concerned individuals. There are many ways institutions and individuals can contribute to this effort which are available through the Institute's website or through its office. Please join us in this fight. The death of even one more infant is intolerable! Together we can end the tragedy of SIDS.

BEER-SHEVA, ISRAEL, July 13, 2011 – A new system using video and computer software to monitor a baby that could be used to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), as well as for telemedicine applications, has been developed by two students at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU).

The new system called "BabyBeat" was developed by students in the BGU Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. It uses computer algorithms to convert video footage to pulses that represent a baby's heartbeat and skin tone. In the event that the system detects an abnormal heartbeat, an alarm sounds to awaken the baby, change its breathing pattern and alert the parents.

SIDS is the unexpected, sudden death of a child under age one in which an autopsy does not show an explainable cause of death. No one knows what causes SIDS, but researchers have theorized that a dramatic drop in heart rate occurs just before death. Thousands of babies die from this phenomenon each year in the

A name is just a sound or sequence of letters. It carries no value or meaning other than as a pointer to something in people's minds – a concept, a person, a brand, or a particular thing or individual.

In modern economies, people distinguish between generic words, which refer to concepts or a set of individual things (a certain kind of fruit, for example), and trademarks, which refer to specific goods or services around which someone has built value. By law, actual words can't be trademarks, but specific arrangements of words – such as Evernote or Apple Computer – can be protected.

The Internet's domain-name system (DNS) was formalised in the late 1990's by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). I was ICANN's founding chairman, and we more or less followed the rules of trademarks, with an overlay of "first come, first served." If you could show that you owned a trademark, you could get the ".com" domain for that name, unless someo

Hey, Steve. Woot here.

So we heard about your resignation as Apple's CEO late yesterday and, we've gotta tell you, we're still a little shaken by it. Not that we didn't see it coming, of course. It's mostly because we really didn't have any jokes prepared for it. Rutledge says we're gonna have to take a pay cut for that little oversight. Looks like we’ll all have to buy the really cheap Ramen for a while. Again.

Look, we know we've had our little differences, Stevie. Sure, we poked fun at you, your products, your company, and your wild, quirky ways A LOT over the years or made mockery of your "Stevenotes" on Twitter. But it was all out of love, buddy. Well, let's say 95% of it was, anyway. So, if you don't mind, we'd like to take a moment to say thanks for all the things you accomplished that turned out pretty cool:

You convinced the music industry to finally start thinking digitally, allowing millions of us the joy of carrying our music collections on our hips.

That doesn't really have the same sort of dramatic impact, does it? Still, that's basically what Darth Vader meant when he was talking to Boba Fett in the bowels of Cloud City. Thankfully, you won't need to go to such extremes if your Han Solo Ice Cubes melt. You just stick them back in the freezer and through the magic of the exothermic process you'll have ice in no time at all.

But wait, how do you get Han Solo Ice Cubes in the first place? Well, simple enough, you just use one of our Han Solo Ice Cube Trays.

Keyword research is an all too often under-appreciated aspect of SEO.

I've written a few keyword research posts here on SEOmoz and that's because I believe it to be the blueprint of any successful SEO campaign.

Here are some of the more common mistakes that I see people make with their keyword research.

#1 – You're being Unrealistic

"It is better to have a bigger slice of a few smaller pies rather than not getting even a slither of a much bigger pie."

Keyword research appears to be a very straightforward task. You fire up your keyword research tool of choice and find the keywords that relate to your industry with the highest search volumes. Sadly, that's not the way to do it if you want to see real results.

Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple in a letter to Apple's Board of Directors. In his letter, Steve requests to stay on as Chairman and appoints Tim Cook to be the new CEO. The requests must be approved by the board, which is all but assured.

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Google has agreed to a $500 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice for illegally allowing online Canadian pharmacies to advertise drugs to U.S. consumers.

The settlement, which represents the revenue received by Google for selling the ads through its AdWords program and the estimated revenue the Canadian pharmacies got from their sales to U.S. consumers, was one of the largest ever in the United States, according to the DOJ.

"This investigation is about the patently unsafe, unlawful importation of prescription drugs by Canadian online pharmacies, with Google's knowledge and assistance, into the United States, directly to U.S. consumers," said U.S. Attorney Peter Neronha.
