Although many view the psychological pricing techniques that retailors employ to entice shoppers into buying a product as a way to trick consumers, it can be argued that this often works because it allows us to trick ourselves. Pricing an item at $199 rather than $200 allows a shopper to feel less guilt about making that purchase and encourages a freer hand when making impulsive shopping decisions.

Key Takeaways:

• We’ve grown wise to how stores try to trick you into paying more by using shady pricing psychology tricks.
• We like to blame evil stores for using manipulative tactics to trick you into stuff you would never buy on your own.
• Why, if stores were just honest, we would never buy anything but what we absolutely need! Except that’s not true.

The DNS (domain name system) is responsible for taking people to the right website when you enter the web address into the bar. It matches domain names with IP addresses to get you to the right place. It’s an important part of the internet, but not so great when hacked. In mid October the DNS was hacked blocking users from accessing popular websites such as paypal, twitter, spotify and more. It has been fixed since, and all services have been restored.

Key Takeaways:

• Hackers launched a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against Dyn this morning
• The attack, which lasted around two hours, was responsible for taking down or interrupting traffic
• At this point people trying to reach countless websites, including Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, Etsy, Imgur, PayPal, Spotify, Yelp, and the PlayStation Network all reported problems

“”The attack, which lasted around two hours, was responsible for taking down or interrupting traffic to a host of popular websites. Including your favorite, probably.””

While many admit the benefits of keeping up with new technology in the context of business, more and more decision-makers are passing on actual change. A new study highlights that gap. In the study, business decision makers across a variety of industries highly ranked the importance of keeping up on IT trends. Things such as big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things, however, saw huge lags in implementation—even when it could benefit the bottom line.

Key Takeaways:

• The disconnect between recognizing the benefits of new technology and taking advantage of them is consistent across industries, as shown in a report created by Capita Technology Solutions in partnership with Cisco.
• Overall 88 percent believe financial gains can be made and 86 percent agree that they can attain a competitive advantage by “responding to IT trends within their business.”
• Across all categories, 82 percent of the decision makers believed tech trends are hyped by the media and at industry events at least some of the time, so there is also an element of mistrust.

“Regarding big data, for example, 90 percent said it was relevant to their business, 64 percent said it was being applied in their industry, but only 39 percent reported it being implemented in their own business.”
