How the Google Possum update will change local SEO. Google has shaken up how local search works, meaning that businesses that aren’t geographically in the city centres now have more of a chance of appearing in the Map Pack than they did previously.

Apple CEO Tim Cook continued his New York City tour this week with a wide-ranging Good Morning America interview about the iPhone 7, AirPods, virtual reality, and other topics.
A teaser of the interview was first shared yesterday.

Cook added that "less people would be interested" in virtual reality, but that the technology has interesting use cases for education and gaming. "There's virtual reality and there's augmented reality -- both of these are incredibly interesting.

Why Augmented Reality is Set to Become an Enterprise Mainstay. :: By Krish Kupathil, Mobiliya :: While the earliest roots of augmented reality (AR) may be traced to consumer-centric domains like retail, advertising, media and entertainment, its future lies in the core enterprise sector.
For the believers of stats and figures, the recent report by Juniper Research confirms this by stating the use of AR apps in enterprise will grow to $2.4 billion in 2019, a sharp ten-fold increase from $247 million in 2014 in just five years. This year has already seen a phenomenal rise in the release of enterprise apps and can well be the turning point for this still-nascent technology. In 2016, we have already seen the biggest AR blockbuster yet, in the form of Pokémon Go, a game that can well go on to become the face of AR. From being considered niche or futuristic, AR has now suddenly become a common household technology that employees, who form a large segment of active Pokémon Go players, can relate to and even willingly use for everyday workflows.

The US broadband industry has lost its lawsuit attempting to overturn the Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality rules and the related reclassification of Internet service providers as common carriers. ISPs' First Amendment claims (among others) were rejected. "Because a broadband provider does not—and is not understood by users to—'speak' when providing neutral access to Internet content as common carriage, the First Amendment poses no bar to the open Internet rules," judges wrote in a decision released today by the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (full text).
