Case in point:
What is the title of the person reporting directly to the CEO and/or CTO, responsible for the overall technical strategy and the overall responsibility for all projects and programs among multiple teams (being led by team leads) in a tech company
I'm thinking that it is a mix of a staff and line position - making chief architect being too advisory and not matching the project/program part and VP of engineering a bit too high level?
SEO and content goes hand in hand. A good SEO strategy and campaigning also include good and precise content. Because it's the content which is going to determine what the brand, product, and service is all about.

Traditional marketing strategy would capitalize on the usual television commercial, banner ads, holding a social event to promote your new product, print ads and more. However, these portfolios might be missing one vital ingredient: the internet. Over one billion people have the access to internet.
One of the main factors for optimising your website for page 1 on Google is to get incoming links from other web pages, and to boost the effectiveness of those links there are a few things to consider, including the relevance of the page where your link is coming from, plus the link itself needs to be relevant to the keywords that you are targeting on Google. Here's one strategy you can use for getting great incoming links to help you achieve higher Google rankings.

So I've tried the trick from Virtual PC 2007, adding the following section to the vmc configuration file:
<components>
<host_time_sync>
<enabled type="boolean">false</enabled>
</host_time_sync>
</components>
Later someone suggested VPC doesn't want the components level so added this instead:
<host_time_sync>
<enabled type="boolean">false</enabled>
<frequency type="integer">15</frequency>
<threshold type="integer">10</threshold>
</host_time_sync>
When I start up XP Mode (Microsoft Virtual PC) it completely ignores any of these two configuration changes and if I change the clock it's instantly reset to the host time again. I've also obviously disabled the Windows Time service but as it's not joined to a domain or set up with a source it shouldn't be involved anyway.
I need to test an application over a few midnight passes and thought the XP Mode machine would be perfect, so I didn't have to mess with my workstation clock... is there any way to get the VPC guest to not sync time with the host? This is easy in Hyper-V ;p

I find that Time Machine sometimes doesn't back up new folders (and the files in them). This occurs both when I choose "Back Up Now" from the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar and in TM's scheduled backups.
These are not excluded folders (nor are then in the TM do-not-back-up list); they're perfectly normal folders (at various locations) inside my home folder.
The only way to force them to be backed up is to restart the computer (unmounting & mounting the TM external disk does not help).
There seems to be a correlation with new folders (i.e., it's more likely to happen that an entire new folder is not backed up), but this may just be observer bias (because those are the folders that I go check to see if they've been backed up).
It's not computer dependent (it happens on two different computers). It's not external disk dependent (it happens on two different external disks). It's not time dependent (not restarting for several days does not fix the problem).
What does a restart change that these other events don't?
I'm considering deleting the /.fseventsd folder (without restarting the computer) to see if that helps.
I haven't tried logging out and logging in (without restarting the computer).
After I turn on my machine, the first couple of Time Machine backups seem to go OK, but after about an hour I get this error:
Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.
Latest successful backup: 7/31/11 at 12:32 PM
I'm running 10.7. Time Machine is backing up an internal HD to an external USB HD. I've already run Disk Utility to repair the Time Machine partition. It's a relatively new hard drive and didn't have any issues.

I post quite frequently in Stack Overflow, but use Superuser less frequently. Mainly as I don't change hardware often and rarely have software issues!
I live in a small stone cottage, and have an office in a separate building across a yard.
I have a BT Homehub which is located in the cottage and a series of Ethernet cables running across the yard to the office.
This is fine for my wired stuff.
My main office computers are PCs running Windows 7 Ultimate, and one on Win7 Home, all working fine.
I also have an old laptop on Win XP which works fine wirelessly in the house for those evenings in front of the TV catching up on a bit of work.
I also have an iPhone and an iPad.
Recently, I have been trying to get WiFi in the office so I can use Adobe Shadow (or whatever it now is!) to improve mobile web development efficiency using my iPhone and iPad, so I bought this:
http://www.ebuyer.com/393462-zyxel-wre2205-500mbps-powerline-wireless-n300-range-extender-wre2205-gb0101f
Thinking that would be lovely just plugged into the socket by the door in the office, extending the perimeter of the WiFi from my Homehub. I can't get it to work properly! If I plug a laptop into its ethernet port I can get it to connect to the Homehub and give me a kinda of wired, wireless extender. If, however, I plug the ethernet port into my home hub, it then seems to extend the network, but only my iOs devices work, and all my wired stuff stops working, and seems to create an infinite loop where windows connects to my homehob, and then rather to the internet, it then connects back to the extender thing.
Anyway... in the meantime, I took a fatal trip to the Apple Store, where I purchased an Airport Express... solely for the purpose of hooking my iOs devices up as wireless music players in the house. I knew it had WiFi, but didn't want to use that part as an extender, I didn't think it would work on a Homehub anyway.
It doesn't work on a Homehub!
I now have a new wireless network in the house, which, when anything connects to it cannot connect to the Internet, so it works ONLY as a wireless music player.
I then borrowed some Powerline Adaptors from someone and realised that this whole thing was getting totally out of control!
It seems all the technology is out there but it's so complicated to get the right series of devices.
To further add to the confusion, I wouldn't mind a network hard drive. I bought one that broke and lost everything, so now we're on to looking at the Apple Time Capsules.
So my question is...
IF... I buy an Apple Time Capsule, can I:
Hook that up to my Homehub, leaving the homehub connected to the Internet so my Hub phones still work, then disable wireless on the homehub
Link up my Airport Express to the Time Capsule PROPERLY so it will connect to the Internet
Do the above with an Apple TV box should I buy one in future
Use the Time Capsule as a network hard drive to store video and music that can be viewed/listened to via my iOS devices/Apple TV/Aiport Express anywhere even with my main PC off (this currently stores all this data)
Hope that the IOS devices like the WiFi from the TimeCapsule better than the Homehub and work without extension, or buy another Airport Express to get WiFI in the office.
Or... should I buy an Airport Extreme and use a USB hard drive for the network drive?
