Wall Street Journal Redesigns Home Page

By Digital Trends Staff March 14, 2006

The Wall Street Journal said yesterday they’d redesigned their home page in the first significant set of changes since 2002. These changes are designed to bring about greater ease of use while at the same time adding new options for personalization.

Changes to the WSJ’s front page, the newspaper said, include new navigation links along the top of the page and the left-side navigation bar, a new personalization section dubbed My Online Journal where users can find their personalized news (the news also appears in a scrolling box on the right side of the home page), â€œat a glanceâ€ headlines from each main section and, later this week, dynamic updates in the â€œWhat’s Newsâ€ section as news is published using AJAX technology.

“The site now has what we believe is the state-of-the-art online-user experience, with new navigation and design to help our readers more easily find the news, features and tools that matter most to them,” said Bill Grueskin, managing editor, The Wall Street Journal Online, in a statement. “Readers will still receive the type of news and information they demand, and at the same time will find the page easier to use and more visually appealing.”

Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home make up the three biggest smart home platforms on the planet. Google Home is popular thanks to its lineup of Nest products, which includes the Nest Hub Max, Nest Doorbell, and Nest Cam, along with many other devices. Best of all, Google Home supports a wide array of third-party products, giving users an easy way to link all their gadgets together and control them from one streamlined app.

But, as you'd expect, getting all these devices working seamlessly isn't always as easy as it sounds. The Google Home platform is also susceptible to the same issues as other smart home platforms, which include various connectivity hiccups and problems with voice commands. Solving these problems is usually pretty easy -- that is, once you know where to look.

Amazon Echo Show 10.

If you're looking to add a smart display to your home, the Amazon Echo Show is a great option. Bringing the best of Alexa into the visual realm, the Echo Show allows you to tap into real-time video from your home's smart security system, have video calls with friends and family using Alexa's Drop In feature, stream from Hulu and Prime Video, run photo slideshows, and so much more.

But glitches happen, and the Echo Show is not without its small trail of troubles. Fortunately, many of these issues have straightforward fixes. In this deep dive, we'll be taking a look at the most common Echo Show problems and how you can fix them.
Echo Show screen is flickering
This issue has been with the Echo Show since the first-generation model. What we're talking about are pulsating horizontal lines stretching across the screen. Sometimes, the malfunction appears closer to the bottom of the display, where Alexa's indicator is, or up and down the entire display. Some Echo Show owners experience this infrequently, others all the time. If your own Show is flickering, there are a few things you can try.
