“When in Rome, do what the Romans do!” I said while circling a pole, imagining myself as Salma Hayek from From Dusk Till Dawn.

I went to my appointments and informed all my contacts, who all said “Again?” when they learned of my promotion. Maybe it should have hit me during the show what a big deal this was, but I was too busy shaking hands, filing stories and bonding with my team to really let it sink in. When I got back to NYC, I made announcements on social media and someone pointed out that I was the first African-American woman EIC of a major tech publication....

Many adware trojans request permission to show windows over other apps or ask users to add them to the exclusion list of the battery-saving feature....
