The 18-25 Generation Z and 26 -35 Millennials age groups pose interesting challenges for content providers. The Grabyo Global Video Trends Report 2019, which surveyed nearly 10,000 people across all ages and incomes from France, the USA, UK, Germany, Italy, Spain and Australia in March 2019, throws up thought-provoking data on their viewing habits, including those relating to social video.

Once U.S.-based chip maker NVIDIA completes its $6.9 billion acquisition of Israeli tech company Mellanox in the next few months, Palestinian engineers contracted to work for Mellanox as reported by Reuters are set to share a $3.5 million payout.
With a shortage of engineers in Israel, the growing pool of talented Palestinian engineers is well placed to fill any gaps in Israel's burgeoning tech sector and Israeli firms are offering stock options to demonstrate to potential Palestinian contrac...

The demise of broadcast TV has been predicted for years as audiences increasingly choose to watch content online and on-demand. It’s not dead yet though. In fact, broadcast businesses across Europe are very much live and kicking.

Could rising at dawn make your more alert, energetic and focused for the rest of the day? Anna Tobin takes a look at this new wake-up call.
Before the advent of the electric light, our internal body clock – scientifically known as the circadian rhythm and area of our brains that responds to light – was set by the sun and the moon; we rose at dawn and went to bed at nightfall.
The advent of rolling TV and the Internet, emails pinging at all hours and twenty-four hour supermarkets, and even gym...
