Grand Theft Auto 6: Check Out The Latest 2019 News

Grand Theft Auto Is Still One Of The Most Anticipated Video Games. Now that Rockstar released Red Dead Redemption 2 (which became an instant success), the studio can focus on the sixth installment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

Nonetheless, the game won’t come out too soon, as Rockstar is currently developing the project. A couple of job offers posted by Rockstar indicate that they are working for the right persons for the job. This means that they haven’t abandoned the project and they are looking for the best team for it.

Job listings

It appears that Rockstar Games is looking for experts on improving tools, environment design, animation retargeting and facial graphics. The descriptions of the job offers give use some important clues. For example, one of them mentions that they are looking to create “next-generation worlds for some exciting upcoming projects!”. This suggests that we might get a massive map in GTA 6.

Receiving a huge complex Grand Theft Auto 6 has been speculated for quite some time. Some fans believe that the next game will take action to Mexico as well, while others think that the map will include all the United States.

Meanwhile, when it comes to the story, the political background might end up influencing it. Co-writer Dan Houser shared some thoughts with GQ in an interview. “It’s really unclear what we would even do with [GTA 6], let alone how upset people would get with whatever we did. Both intense liberal progression and intense conservatism are both very militant, and very angry,” Houser told GQ.

Therefore, the studio is trying to find the perfect moment for the launch. “It is scary but it’s also strange, and yet both of them seem occasionally to veer towards the absurd. It’s hard to satirize for those reasons. Some of the stuff you see is straightforwardly beyond satire. It would be out of date within two minutes, everything is changing so fast.”

Surface Book 3 Comes with High-power NVIDIA Graphic Cards and New Improvements

The Surface 2 was quickly overshadowed by other Surface devices in mere months after the official release. While the device was good, it didn’t offer any revolutionary features that could have set it apart from the competition. Many Surface Book users remained unimpressed by the update, leading to a poor impact.

The device is already outdated and some sources claim that the Redmond company is working on a new version of the 2-in-1 device. Read below to learn more about the rumored features and a possible release date.

A faster brain

The Whiskey Lake generation has become available for Windows laptops. The improved 14-nanometer chips promise a reasonable power boost but Microsoft could decide to use the advanced Ice Lake chips that should be released before 2019 ends.

High-power NVIDIA Graphic cards

The i7 version of the Surface Book 2 offered a beefy NVIDIA GTX 1050 dedicated graphic could.  The revolutionary Turing architecture promises improved performance and higher fidelity while also reducing the energy required in order fueling the graphic card. An RTX 2080 is clearly out of the question since we want a slim device but maybe there is enough space for in order to squeeze a more modest version inside the Surface Book 3.

Lightning speed

The Surface Pro 3 features USB-C ports but even this standard is a bit slow in comparison to the blazing speed that can be achieved by Thunderbolt 3. The ability to choose a model that features a Thunderbolt 3 port would certainly attract some users that have to transfer high amounts of data between the Surface Book 3 and other devices.

Improved screen

A 4K panel would certainly please the eyes but a significant price bump would be included. Microsoft could also trim the bezels a little in order to maximize the dimensions of the screen.

Release date

The device could be announced in the fall of 2019 but an early release is also possible.

Keywords Can Dramatically Improve your SEO Impact in 2019

It is already known that keywords can influence the search performance for a website. Most people think of them as popular tags that facilitate the search progress but they have more influence than you may think.

Link authority can have a huge impact on the ranking of a website. In plain terms it can be explained as the sum of links that are shared on different platforms but lead to the same website. When a third-party will share your link its users will know that it is a relevant source for a particular topic and it is reliable.

Keyword data

Keyword data will allow you to learn what is important for your customers. The information can be used in order to optimize your overall strategy and offer useful content.

Content strategy

A proper content strategy is essential in order to push the right content to the right visitors. As the numbers of people have the same query grows your content will become more important in the long run.

Example:

You want to sell handcrafted candles. A coherent content strategy will allow you to see which types of candles are in high demand. This will lead to a better knowledge of the market, allowing you to boost the SEO impact and the overall potential of the business by fabricating items that will be sold in a reasonable amount of time.

Find reliable partners

Sometimes all you need is a little bit of inspiration from a friendly partner. A small collaboration could be very useful for everyone since it offers mutual benefits.

Here are some a few tips that can make a big difference:

  • Always include textual content. This will allow search engines to index your content faster and maximize the potential reach.
  • Keep it simple.  If your websites offers tutorial series it is advised to make a separate page for each individual video.
  • Leave your print. Unique content is always better that rehashing what is already known.

Apple Releases iPad Pro 2019 – What Should You Expect?

The release of the device

The next iPad Pro’s arrival is quite an important event as the hype around it, and the expectations keep building. The release date of this device has not been decided yet, but we know that it will be somewhere around early summer and spring. According to a survey, Apple users update their iPhones more than their iPads, and that might happen in the case of the new iPad as well. Apple plans on introducing the newest and best features in this device, so maybe customers will have a reason to update their tablet.

Pricing of the device

Do you worry that being on a budget might keep you from buying the iPad Pro 2019? Well, what we can say is that the price will not be so different from the previous ones of the previous devices due to the changes in the value of the currency and the major fluctuations in the price. Regarding the memory, the 65GB version might not be available, and the iPad will start with the 128GB variant.

Design of the iPad Pro

Apple decided last year that its Pro models need a little bit of change in their designs and this is what they did. Taking into consideration that the redesign has already happened in 2018, you should not expect the 2019 iPad Pro to receive too much of a makeover. As far as this model is concerned, you should not expect significant changes as the company’s conservatism remain high. The previous models of the iPad got the bezels removed, and so they did with the Home button which means that you might recognize these modifications in this year’s version.

Are you excited about the new iPad Pro 2019? Maybe you were waiting for this in order to update your tablet. Make sure you save that money for it.
