Today's Story Highlights

Netflix Raises Subscriber Rates to Wall Street's Delight
Netflix has decided to hike prices by $1 to $2 for all 58 million of its
subscribers in the United States, as well as customers in about 40 Latin
American countries who are billed in U.S currency. Customers in key
international markets such as Mexico and Brazil reportedly will be
exempt from the increases. Netflix had nearly 79 million subscribers
overseas at the end of September.

5 Practical Ways Etailers Can Earn Customer Loyalty
Given today's data and technological advancements, coupled with an
abundance of choices for consumers, the importance of loyalty has never
been greater. The marketing landscape has shifted as power has moved
from sellers to buyers, and businesses have realized a heightened need
for customer loyalty. Market fragmentation has dramatically increased
competition, magnifying the need for loyalty.

Salesforce and the Machine
There's been way too much obsessing about how artificial intelligence
and machine learning will eliminate jobs. For example, 60 Minutes
recently ran a feature about AI venture capitalist Kai-Fu Lee, one of
many stories predicting the elimination of jobs and a dystopian takeover
of the world, or so it seems, by machines. Lee is a persuasive voice.

Sex Tech Maker Cries Foul After CES Retracts Innovation Award
At last week's International CES, the CEO of woman-run sex tech startup
Lora DiCarlo called out the Consumer Technology Association for
rescinding its CES Innovation Award. The company received the award for
its first-ever product, the Osé personal massager, only to have the CTA
backpedal and retract it. Furthermore, the company was not even allowed
to exhibit at CES 2019.

The Biggest Cybercrime Threats of 2019
A new year means a fresh start, but it doesn't mean that old threats
will go away. In fact, in the world of cybersecurity things could get
far worse before they get better. Cybercrime continues to increase, as
it allows nefarious actors to operate at a safe distance from victims --
and more importantly, law enforcement. Cybercrime often doesn't get the
same attention as other types of crimes.
