What luxury items does eBay Authenticate currently cover, and what is the fee structure for sellers using the service? Answer according to: The service comes at a cost, but it’s hoped that the cost will be offset by a great degree of buyer confidence, which will lead to a growth in high-end buyers over the long term. For now, sellers can use eBay Authenticate to shift handbags valued at more than $500. Designed to encourage buyers to part with cash on expensive items, it uses a network of professional authenticators who take physical receipt of a seller’s products, validates them, and then photographs, lists, and ships the goods to the successful buyer.
Ecommerce giant eBay has launched a previously announced service designed to combat the scourge of fake goods on the platform.
eBay has proven popular with fake goods’ sellers for some time, with fashion accessories and jewelry featuring highly on counterfeiters’ agenda. The company announced eBay Authenticate way back in January with a broad focus on giving “high-end” goods an official stamp of approval prior to sale. Ultimately designed to encourage buyers to part with cash on expensive items, it uses a network of professional authenticators who take physical receipt of a seller’s products, validates them, and then photographs, lists, and ships the goods to the successful buyer.
For the launch of eBay Authenticate, the service is only available for luxury handbags from 12 brands, including Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Valentino, though the program will be expanded to cover other luxury goods and brands from next year.
Of course, the service comes at a cost, but it’s hoped that the cost will be offset by a great degree of buyer confidence, which will lead to a growth in high-end buyers over the long term. For now, sellers can use eBay Authenticate to shift handbags valued at more than $500, and they will receive 80 percent of the final selling price, though for a “limited time” eBay is opening the service to goods valued at $250 and more, with sellers able to keep 90 percent of the cash.
Though eBay has offered anti-counterfeit services for a while, such as the Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) program that makes it easier to report fake items, the company has been the subject of a number of high-profile lawsuits. Tiffany & Co took eBay to court over its failure to prevent fake merchandise from being sold through its site, though the jewelry maker ultimately lost its case.

How should someone approach deciding what information to include on their business card? Answer according to: In our modern tech-driven world, the idea of a business card seems kind of … quaint.
After all, with LinkedIn and Facebook and Twitter and e-Mail and all the other ways we can easily get in touch with someone, or at least look them up, the idea of carrying around a piece of paper in your pocket to hand to someone seems almost counter-intuitive to technology.
It’s not the case though. In fact, I’d say that having a business card on hand now is just as important as it ever was.
Even with all the attempts to make sharing contact information (remember when Samsung tried pushing their “bump” technology? And don’t even get me started on QR codes), there still isn’t a standardized solution that works for everyone. That is, unless you count the business card.
Even if it’s just a quick meeting with someone, a chance encounter or even just passing by someone in the lobby after a concert, there’s nothing like being able to just hand someone a piece of paper with the important information on how they can get in touch with you. Plus, nothing kills conversation like stopping in the middle to type out each others’ contact info.
Don’t include information that doesn’t matter. For example, do you need a physical address on your card? Or is your web site your new address?
Include your modern contact info. If you are on Twitter or Facebook, etc. include those usernames or addresses – especially if that’s how you’d prefer people to communicate with you.
Don’t include every possible contact method. I’m on Instagram and Skype and Snapchat and a ton of other platforms. But if I added every possible contact method to my card, it would just be a huge jumble of text. Show restraint and only include the methods you put as top ways to contact you. The rest can be found on your website if you need to list them all.
Do you still use a business card? If not, I’d love to hear how that’s been working out. Do you regret not having one? Or are you happy to have one less thing to worry about?

What is GREAT Self Defense, and how does it aim to empower students?: Seniors Shadya Jarecke and Marcell Bruski are ambitious business students at Rocky Mountain College. The two made great strides on campus when they created the club Young Women in Business about a year-and-a-half ago. The club is open to all Rocky students and typically meets once a month.
The club’s activities have included presentations from businesswomen in the Billings community. The women share the experience they have acquired in their profession. However, they altered the first meeting of the new semester by bringing in businesswoman and GREAT Self Defense instructor, Carla Verbsky. Verbsky gave a strong presentation on what true self defense is, shared what steps she has taken to become the person that she is today, and taught real self defense moves to over 100 attendees.
What made Verbsky’s presentation so outstanding was the fact that she talked about real issues that can happen or have happened to women already, such as being attacked physically, verbally, and emotionally. Verbsky also brought the issue of pettiness to light and stated that women need to stop tearing each other down and should start building one another up.
“Women are the ones who have to endure all this pain, we have to be perfect. Everyone tears up because they know what they are going through and I know what they are going through. I can relate. That is why my message was so powerful,” shared Verbsky.
GREAT is a nonprofit organization that launched in April of 2016. GREAT stands for Girls, Ready, Empowered, and Trained. The nonprofit wants to give students the tools to become confident individuals who have the knowledge to defend themselves in any situation. So far, the GREAT team has visited over 17 schools in Billings, three schools in the surrounding area, and have influenced countless people for the better.
Jarecke, president of Young Women in Business, met Verbsky through a professor and learned about Verbsky’s story and work. Jarecke shared that the purpose of the event was to empower women and to bring the women from Rocky and the community together. “Through this event we hope that we can create a supportive and strong family of women,” said Jarecke.
The club hosted an event similar to this one last spring. One component that made this event different from last year’s is the amount of support and help the club received from Rocky and the community. Stand Up RMC, RMC campus safety, and Ramsey Keller Memorial teamed up with the club to make it a success.
Another component that made this event different is the fact that Verbsky brought her co-worker, Dennis Forleo, to help her lead the class. Forleo and Verbsky met through mutual friends and have been building their work relationship since meeting.

The Fiji Ministry of Health and Medical Services reports treating at least 13 people who had been diagnosed with typhoid, according to local media.
A Public Health Team based at Levuka Hospital is working with the communities on Moturiki Island to create awareness and facilitate counselling on the precautionary measures which include safe water, sanitation and hygiene, according to a government statement.
Mass gatherings had been temporarily suspended in the hot spot areas as a preventative measure.
Typhoid fever is a potentially life-threatening illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. Salmonella typhi lives only in humans. Persons with typhoid fever carry the bacteria in their bloodstream and intestinal tract. In addition, a small number of persons, called carriers, recover from typhoid fever but continue to carry the bacteria. Both ill persons and carriers shed S.typhi in their feces.
You can get typhoid fever if you eat food or drink beverages that have been handled by a person who is shedding S. typhi or if sewage contaminated with S. typhi bacteria gets into the water you use for drinking or washing food. Therefore, typhoid fever is more common in areas of the world where handwashing is less frequent and water is likely to be contaminated with sewage.
Typhoid fever can be successfully treated with appropriate antibiotics, and persons given antibioticsusually begin to feel better within 2 to 3 days. Can you summarize the measures that the Fiji Ministry of Health and Medical Services is taking to prevent the spread of typhoid fever in the affected areas?

Architect David Waldorf designed a futuristic, pitched cantilevered roof (seen from the back) and an indoor-outdoor environment, often re-using original or reclaimed materials. Photo by Dasja Dolan.
Knowing what you want and how to get it takes much of the guesswork out of remodeling -- especially if you work with the right design team. Clint Smith and Elizabeth Arndorfer did just that when they converted a 1940s ranch-style house in Barron Park into a contemporary home that's a recipe for "green" living.
When they purchased the house six years ago, they knew it was a temporary fix for their growing family, but wanted time to analyze their needs and work within their budget to get what they wanted -- and then some.
But it wasn't exactly smooth sailing.
"We knew that we wanted an architect with a strong 'eco' bent," Arndorfer says. She and her husband chose a San Francisco firm, organicARCHITECT, whose work had been featured in a national magazine. The project's designer, David Waldorf, presented them with a highly imaginative, cutting-edge design that they loved.
But it wasn't a typical add-on with its dramatically soaring roofline and innovative features. Moreover, the contractor hadn't had a lot of experience in "green" design, so it was a learning curve for everyone.
The couple has two girls, aged 8 and 10, and a 5-year-old son. Their goal was to break open the boxy house and create an indoor-outdoor environment, re-using original or reclaimed materials where possible.
"Initially, we were just going to expand the house in the back, adding a new master suite and a family room and home office that could double as a guest room," Arndorfer says. "But our architect convinced us that we'd be sorry if we didn't also remodel the front," she says, pointing to the new front porch with its built-in seating and colorful planter boxes.
The 1,063-square-foot addition involves a new master suite on one side of the back of the house, a family room, home office/guest bathroom on the other side, and an updated kitchen in between. Seen from the rear garden, it has a futuristic look -- a pitched cantilevered roof that offers shade in summer, while its photovoltaic panels capture the sun and generate electricity.
Large concertina doors off the dining room and a sliding barn door in the family room create natural circulation throughout the house, as do banks of clerestory windows, avoiding the need for air conditioning. The massive barn door that slides from an exterior metal frame, came from a farm in Fairfax.
While most of the action takes place at the back of the house -- the living room and original bedrooms retain the same footprints -- the entire residence now assumes a new drama without appearing disjointed.
"That's because we reused as many of the original materials as possible, so the old and new has a natural flow," Arndorfer says. The couple loved the beautifully milled redwood ceiling in their living room and wanted to replicate the look in their remodel. But the cost of installing new saw-cut redwood was prohibitive. Instead, their architect found new uses for the redwood beams and ceiling ripped from the old dining room. He also devised an ingenious solution to match the living room ceiling.
Arndorfer affectionately calls it her "chicken wire" ceiling. "We took sheets of expanded steel mesh and pre-rusted it," project designer Waldorf says. That involved spraying it with vinegar and dipping it into salt water to intensify the rusting process. "It became a family affair; we all went out to the beach and soaked the mesh in seawater," Arndorfer says.
The rusted mesh was then applied over plywood, stained to match the adjoining redwood ceiling. It results in an interesting play of light between the two materials.
Redwood beams from the old dining room were reused for window and door trims and for a loft staircase in a bedroom. Old floor planks were used for a new kitchen banquette and a built-in daybed in Arndorfer's office.
The original dining room ceiling now graces the new front porch, and sections of old redwood were fashioned into a backsplash in the home office bathroom. It also sports a cabinet found on Craig's List, and a stylish stainless-steel counter top that Waldorf found discarded on a city street. "I took it home, cleaned it up, and it's prefect for the bathroom," he says.
Green materials include flooring -- the dramatic cork floor in the family room, reclaimed wide-plank floors in the kitchen and dining area, and bamboo floors in the new master suite. Simulated stone kitchen counters (made from recycled paper products), bamboo kitchen cabinets, EnergyStar-rated appliances, non-VOC Yolo paint that eliminates out-gassing, and cement siding that emulates the original board-and-batten exterior continue the "eco" theme.
Arndorfer says the remodel took 14 months to complete and in spite of the inevitable hiccups along the way, she and her family are thrilled with their new house.
"It's a lot like giving birth," she says. "You ultimately forget the pain and tend to revel in the end result."
Update and expand a ranch-style home, using as many "green" materials/building methods as possible. How did Clint Smith and Elizabeth Arndorfer convert their 1940s ranch-style house into a contemporary home that promotes "green" living?

Kodak Digital Technology expands opportunities : Just as digital technology created a bigger consumer photography market, it will provide the same growth opportunities for commercial printers, marketers and data managers, said Daniel A. Carp, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Eastman Kodak Company. In a keynote address today to attendees of the AIIM On Demand Conference and Exposition at the Philadelphia Convention Center, Carp highlighted both the forces transforming the graphic communications industry and the traditions that can serve as guideposts for companies navigating those changes. "During times of industry transformation, change is not a choice. It is a necessity," Carp said.
"There was a moment for me when Kodak's direction became clear. We had to change and transform Kodak around a new digital business model. It was a liberating moment, one that inspired our organization to think differently, to change old ways of working and to act on the best ideas. The digital transformation created new markets, wider markets in these and other industries. We were able to transition from limited conventional businesses into dynamic digital growth markets," Carp said.
Carp continued with: "Let me emphasize again that none of it has been easy. But all of it has been enabling, and exciting. We're carrying an iconic brand into the future, to remain an icon - of excellence, and of customer-driven change." Carp stated that graphic communications businesses are moving quickly to deliver on the promise of digital technologies and workflows, and that Kodak is determined to provide them with the products and services necessary for success.
"The end client increasingly values a vendor who can be a one-stop shop, that offers database management, prepress services and blend both digital and traditional offset processes seamlessly; a shop that can handle variable data printing in small lots and large ones; and that can provide both inventory management and workflow management services. A vendor who can help them do more, better, faster; a vendor who can help them improve their business," Carp said.
Carp noted that, since 2003, Kodak has invested more than $2 billion to assemble its Graphic Communications Group and to build the broadest portfolio of technologies, products and services in the industry. "We chose - aggressively, wholeheartedly - to become a major participant in this industry," Carp said. "We voted with our feet and our pocketbooks to immerse ourselves in this industry in the midst of all of the transformation. We did it because it's clear to us that while transformation creates risk, it also creates opportunity."
Carp concluded by stating, "If you can use the best of digital technology to transform your business to serve the customer - streamlining processes and creating time and producing opportunity, you will find that you are more than successful, you will be the advisor they turn to help translate their ideas and aspirations into reality."
Kodak is the leader in helping people take, share, print and view images - for memories, for information, for business, and for entertainment. With sales of $13.5 billion in 2004, the company is committed to a digitally oriented growth strategy focused on four businesses: Digital & Film Imaging Systems, Health, Graphic Communications and Display & Components. Based on the passage above, What types of products and services does Kodak offer in the graphic communications industry?

Read the passage below and answer the question or follow the instruction: What kind of information can users access through Twitter's Ads Transparency Center for U.S. political advertisers?
Passage: June 28 (Reuters) - Twitter Inc on Thursday made it easier for users to identify political campaign ads and know who paid for them after a threat of regulation from the United States over the lack of disclosure for political spending on social media.
The microblogging site launched ‘Ads Transparency Center’ to allow anyone to view ads that have been put on Twitter, with greater transparency about U.S. federal election campaign ads.
The tool follows Twitter's recently launched political campaign ads policy here and a similar move by Facebook Inc, which started a searchable archive of U.S. political ads last month.
The center gives users access to details such as demographic targeting data for the ads from U.S. political advertisers, along with billing information, ad spending, and impression data per Tweet.
“We are making it clearer than ever who is advertising U.S. federal political campaign content on Twitter,” Twitter said in a blog post.

Larry Eigner is a poet whose spare, dense and impassioned poetry carries on the the tradition of William Carlos Williams.
This particular book of his poetry, Windows/Walls/Yard/Ways collects 322 poems written between 1959 and 1992. The author almost exclusively chose the selections, and the arrangement is largely chronological. About 88 of these poems were written while the author resided in Massachusetts between 1959 and 1978, and the majority of them were written between 1979 and 1992, following the author's move to California. In a note on the text, the collection is categorised as 'eastern' poetry, possibly regarding Massachusetts, the author's long-time home. Could you provide a brief summary of Larry Eigner's poetry, and how it relates to William Carlos Williams?

Read the passage below and answer the question or follow the instruction: Could you paraphrase Ledley King's statement about the difficulty of defeating PSV in the second leg of the Last 16?
Passage: Spurs are keeping tabs on Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. The club have made Espanyol's Carlos Kameni their number one target but are lining up Neuer as a back-up plan.
Meanwhile Ledley King believes overturning the 1-0 first-leg deficit at Eindhoven will be one of Spurs' hardest tasks of the season.
The centre-back said: "I know we have the character and ability to stay in the competition, although there is no doubt we will have to dig deep."
King was rested at the weekend but is likely to return at centre-back alongside Jonathan Woodgate, who received a knock to his foot against West Ham but was fit to travel.
Jermaine Jenas is also back in the squad after a twisted ankle in the first leg of the last-16 clash against PSV, but Younes Kaboul (knee) and Ricardo Rocha (groin) are out.
Alan Hutton is ineligible, while Gareth Bale (foot) and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) remain long-term absentees.
NEXT FIVE GAMES: Tonight: PSV (a, 7.45pm) (UEFA Last 16 L2); Sunday: Man City (a); 19 Mar: Chelsea (h); 22 Mar: Portsmouth (h); 30 Mar: Newcastle (h).

Initially, the ship was doing well as it progressed on its voyage but eventually it got driven far south to the lower latitudes in cold, fog and drizzle.
In time the weather faired and an albatross (an omen of good luck at sea) started following the vessel, as they do. In frustration a seaman killed the albatross, bringing ill luck to the vessel for weeks on end. This resulted in starvation, hallucinations and the death of the vessel’s crew. The crew made the shooter hang the albatross around his neck as a penance but he could not die so suffered on.
Now, in real time, we have the prime minister wearing the albatross, the governing party dying and the country struggling on through good and bad.
Risky decisions by the engineering firm (SNC-Lavelin) and bad decisions by the government’s handling of the case to try to protect the engineering firm have no solution and I believe the government will die as a result. Yes, we are in for a major political upset in the next election.
It raises the questions in my mind about the differences in a party government system with a majority mandate like we have and a dictatorship. As I see it there is little or none. The elected representatives put there to represent their constituents are not allowed to do so by the party in a majority government. Instead, they must adhere to the rule of the dictator’s whims.
The system is overdue for an overhaul so the voter does get some representation, not just lip service. Let’s pay attention and make it happen.
How does the author feel about the current government's handling of the SNC-Lavalin case, and what does he believe will happen in the next election?

Can you please provide a brief history and information on the Mills-Kreiner House and Norfolk and Western Railroad depot maintained by the Mogadore Historical Society?
Generate according to: The Mogadore Historical Society currently maintains the Mills-Kreiner House, circa 1830, and the Norfolk and Western Railroad depot, circa 1905. The Historical Society is open the first and third Sunday of every month from 2 to 4 pm., with displays of pottery and memorabilia of Mogadore and as a period house of the early 1930's. The Depot is open on special occasions and upon request.
The Benjamin Mills family came to this area in 1836 and built a log house on the corner of Waterloo Mills-Kreiner HouseRoad and South Cleveland Avenue. In 1852 William Mills, son of Benjamin, moved the house from Portage County some distance north across the road to Summit County because he was tired of paying taxes in Portage County. Because all four corners held log houses and a log schoolhouse was nearby the area came to be called “Logtown.” Dr. Dennis C. McCloskey purchased the property in 1989 and gave the house to the Mogadore Historical Society.
Vera Mills Eckert, granddaughter of the builder of the house, Benjamin Mills, immediately offered a substantial amount to see the house preserved. Long time owners and then residents of the house, Dwight and Ruth Kreiner, felt the same and also donated a goodly amount along with their sons, Kenneth and Kyle. To honor these generous people, the Mills-Kreiner house was moved to 87 S. Cleveland Avenue on May 31, 1989.
In 1983 Mayor George Wear learned that the parent company of the railroad planned to demolish the Norfold and Western Railroad Depot1900's Depot. The present Historical Society was formed to seek funds and save the building by moving it. The struggle for funds and a site on which to set it began. Mayor Larry Yoho worked with GenCorp to secure a site. Funding grew in time and with a grant from the state, secured by Representative Cliff Skeen, the Depot was moved to its present site on November 17, 1989. The Depot languished on the site until 1994 when substantial work was done to bring it to its present condition. The hope of a museum was sidetracked by the fact that the cargo room was never built to be heated. When or until the problem is solved, it is seldom used, but it serves as an example of Stick Style architecture, and is a treasure of a bygone age.

Here is a piece of text: Can blockchain solve land record problems?
It has been more than a decade since the ambitious project to digitize land records across the country, called Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme or DILRMP, was launched. The project aimed to bring India’s land records to the level seen in countries like the UK, where information about the land, its ownership, and usage is kept in easy-to-access central repositories with real-time updates. However, a recent assessment of the project’s impact in three states suggests that we will not be getting there anytime soon (goo.gl/tbz1EX).
There is no doubt that the problem is daunting. As many as two-thirds of civil cases pending in Indian courts deal with land related disputes, most of which revolve around establishing ownership. The existing legal framework, based on the system of “presumptive ownership", lends itself to litigation as land and property undergo several mutations over generations that are not always captured on public records. Moreover, data related to a specific parcel of land is stored in silo’ed government departments, and in formats that vary substantially from one state to another. Access to these records is time- and cost-intensive, as they involve frequent visits and bribes to government agents.
For some time now, there have been suggestions to improve this abysmal state of land records by introducing blockchain technology. The popularity of cryptocurrencies has brought forth this new concept of storing and sharing of information between participants. NITI Aayog recently announced that it will bring out a discussion paper on leveraging this technology for land records management. Andhra Pradesh is currently working with private firms to secure land records in its new capital, Amaravati, using blockchain. So, what is this technology and how effective would it be in cleaning land records through the country?
A blockchain-secured record-keeping process will collect, store and provide access to information quite differently than a conventional process. After reaching consensus on what constitutes a valid record, market participants use cryptography and consensus algorithms to create or modify records. In a public blockchain like bitcoin, all participants are allowed to create or modify the blockchain, while in a private blockchain, like what has been envisioned for land records, only select participants are given that responsibility. New information is chained to the old entry, ensuring that a trail of changes to a record is established since its creation. There is no need for a central authority to keep records as they are distributed across a system of networked computer nodes. All participants can see and use the latest version of the record without relying on anyone else. In short, data stored using blockchain is secure, transparent, easy to access, and hard to dispute.
But how do we move from the current state of land records to a blockchain-secured state? To transition legacy records, we need to ensure that every aspect of these records must be indisputable to start with. While blockchain could ensure integrity and indisputability of future changes, it cannot resolve differences that exist today. What benefit would blockchain provide to a land whose area is not captured correctly, whose ownership is contested, whose liens are not fully recorded and whose value is underreported? Can we hope to build a sturdy structure on a shaky foundation?
The prevalence of poor quality in extant land records suggests that introducing blockchain across the board for all land parcels is definitely not the way. To maintain indisputability, it must be introduced first on land with the least amount of issues. Land that belongs to the government—Centre or state, including those of its agencies like railways, defence and ports—could be great candidates for this transition. The Central government has created a Government Land Information System (GLIS) to reflect details of all its land holdings. While the benefit of securing these records with blockchain is low today, it will pay off in future as government monetizes them.
Amongst privately owned land, those that have been mortgaged could also be considered for introduction on blockchain. Banks and housing finance companies undertake extensive due diligence to validate the information in land records, and seek correction if there are differences for lands that are pledged with them. It is, therefore, not hard to imagine lenders seeking blockchain security for land records as it would dramatically cut down risks in lending against property. In fact, the first step in pooling information on mortgages across lenders had already started with the setting up of the Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of India (CERSAI). Overlaying blockchain on lands pledged against those mortgages could be a great start. Similarly, the newly set up information utility, National e-governance Services Ltd (NeSL), could also be used to drive blockchain-based record-keeping for underlying collateral like land.
On the other hand, to incentivize borrowers to seek this transition, at least initially, interest rate subsidies can be provided. Over time, blockchain-secure land records could command a premium (for example, a lower interest rate, easier title insurance or higher liquidity) which would entice more land owners to seek this security.
While a top-down approach of forcing blockchain on all land records could easily backfire, nudging selected participants to seek this transition using incentives could be the best way of leveraging this powerful technology.

Based on the text material above, generate the response to the following quesion or instruction: Can blockchain technology be used to clean up all land records across India? Explain why or why not.

Question/Instruction: When is the next wave of YouGov's TabletTrack study scheduled to be released?
Given material: Tablet rivals set to fail unless pricing strategy changes, there are many new tablet PC’s coming to the market and pricing wars will happen, but many manufactures really needs to think its pricing strategy if they want any chance at all to compete with the Apple iPad 2.
We had an email sent into us this morning giving an in-depth look into this, the graph below is very interesting indeed.
The market continues to grow with new tablets being released frequently. As demonstrated in previous research, YouGov believes that £250 is the price point where the tablet market will take off. Tablets will fail to be a mass-market product until the price comes down to this price point.
The research reveals low consumer consideration and expectation levels for a non-Apple brand. 77% of “hot prospects” (respondents that are keen to get a tablet) will consider purchasing an iPad2 with a further 62% expecting to get one. However, the next most popular tablets are the out of date iPad1 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab both with expectation levels at 11%. Other competitors fared even worse, 3% of “hot prospects” expect to get a HTC, 2% a BlackBerry and just 1% expect to get an Acer (1%). This is the mountain Android based tablets need to climb.
Feldman continues: “Google also need to change their strategy in the tablet market.
The Apple dominated tablet market will be a hard challenge for most brands to overcome. Unlike the smartphone market, the Android models seem unable to challenge Apple and certainly won’t be leading the market anytime soon.
YouGov’s TabletTrack study surveys tablet usage, attitudes and satisfaction, quarterly. The next wave of the tracker begins in August with a report due in September 2011.
All figures, unless otherwise stated are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 3306 respondents, of which 1310 were tablet owners and 1996 nationally representative respondents. Fieldwork was undertaken between; the 6th to 12th May 2011. The survey was carried out online.
