<b>Every SEO forum since the dawn of time Google has been debating the power of high authority links such as .Edu or .Gov links. </b><br />
<br />
There are literally dozens of articles out there in the great wide web and every few months a different debate begins on how much these links actually effect your rankings.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The domain name edu is a sponsored top-level domain in the Domain Name System of the Internet. Since 2001, new registrants to the domain have been required to be United States-affiliated institutions of higher education, though before then non-U.S.-affiliated - and even non-educational institutions - registered, with some retaining their registrations to the present.<br />
<br />
It’s a common belief in some SEO circles that a link from .Edu or .Gov site is the best type of link you can ever get in order to improve your rankings. This belief comes from the fact it is not easy to obtain control of these domains on the open market as you have to be an educational or government establishment.<br />

Sharp today announced the receipt of an investment of $ 60 million from the U.S. Qualcomm. The statement said that the two companies are working to bring the mass production of a new generation of fuel-efficient and high-performance displays for mobile devices.<br /><br />Qualcomm through its subsidiary Pixtronix start interacting with Sharp for the release of the displays based on the technology of MEMS <em>(microelectromechanical systems)</em>, in which the screen pixels are based on tiny mechanical zatvorkah, which open and close certain colors on the display. Potentially, this technology allows you to create faster displays, capable of quickly change the picture without moire and loss in quality. At the same time, the new technology promises to be a cost-effective, even though today the mass production of MEMS is not yet established.<br /><br /><em>"We are moving toward commercialization,"</em> - says Sharp spokeswoman Miyuki Nakayama. According to her, the two companies are still in the research phase and has not yet announced a release date versions of commercial displays.<br />

In February of this year, the world's largest virtual currency exchanger Mt.Gox, based in Japan, entered into an agreement with the American company CoinLab, under which CoinLab Bitsoin becomes the operator of all transactions conducted on Mt.Gox users from the United States and Canada. <br />
<br />
Initially stated that CoinLab has partnered with a group of American banks, which could contribute to the output of the virtual currency Bitcoin offline.<br />
<br />
But now the partnership seems to have collapsed. CoinLab sued Mt.Gox, accusing the latter of not fulfilling the contractual terms that were reached in November last year. Signed a legal agreement called for the transfer of Bitcoin-North American operations under the management of CoinLab in March. However CoinLab say that this has not happened.<br />
<a name='more'></a> <br />
<br />
"Mt.Gox continues to serve customers in North America alone. Mt.Gox CoinLab not provide access to client accounts, servers and other data specified in the agreement," - said in CoinLab. <br />
<br />
The lawsuit demands that CoinLab Mt.Gox "repair the damage" caused by the fact of breach of contract and payments of $ 50 million. <br />
<br />
The very Mt.Gox now faced with a problem: in addition to the hopping rate of Bitcoin, recent technological platform exchanger faced with a series of failures that led to the blocking of trading processes. In addition, a few days ago to the Mt.Gox was a large-scale DDoS-attack, which nearly blocked the day job site.<br />
