First look at LG's notebooks and desktops from CES 2014

By Gadjo C. Sevilla

LG is not the first name to come to mind when your're thinking notebook or desktop computers, but judging from the range of new products showcased during CES 2014 and captured by contributor Alex Davies, LG's been busy ramping up their PC and even Chromebase (?) portfolio. Now, while many of these look really sweet, LG's traditionally focused its notebook sales in Asia, so it's anyone's guess if any of these will make it to Canada anytime soon but we can always hope.

Facebook update downgrades text updates for Pages

Facebook wants Page owners to share other types of updates aside from text updates with a new tweak. Facebook’s News Feed Ranking Product Manager Chris Turitzin said in a blog post the social network changed the algorithm of the News Feed to downgrade text updates from Pages because they don’t do as well as text updates from friends.

The company encourages a more visual approach and wants Page owners to post links as they “get more engagement (more likes, comments, shares and clicks) and they provide a more visual and compelling experience for people seeing them in their feeds.”
