Trapit is based on the same artificial intelligence technology as Apple's Siri, using it in this case to recommend content (via its web and iPad apps) from 120,000 sources.

Sep 25, 12:52AM
The data center is a mess. They consist of old physical networks, endless snarls of cables and storage boxes the size of refrigerators that stand in contrast to the comparable elegant world of the web. We love the web. The data centers ... not so much. But a new study by SevOne gives a bit of hope by illustrating that the new way we think of data may make life a bit better for those hardy souls who spend their days toiling between the rows of machines inside the walls of the enterprise data center.Facebook's New Timeline Event Lets You Share You're Registered To Vote, Links To Registration Sites

Sep 24, 11:45PM
The developers of Pocket have shared some interesting stats around Apple's latest product releases with us. The web content clipping service is already seeing 20% of its daily app traffic coming from the just-released iPhone 5, and 60% coming in from devices with iOS 6 installed. That may sound like a lot, but after Apple announced 100 million iOS devices already updated to iOS 6, and over 5 million iPhone 5s already in the hands of consumers, it's not so much of a stretch.3Taps Files Countersuit, Says Craigslist Is Anticompetitive.

Craigslist may have a peace sign as part of its logo, but the war over its data continues. As TechCrunch reported it would yesterday, 3Taps has today filed a countersuit against Craigslist in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, responding point by point to Craigslist's allegations of copyright infringement and further levelling counter-accusations at Craigslist of uncompetitive and antitrust behavior. We've embedded the full suit below.Google Says Gamers Are Searching For Their Favorite Titles More, And Earlier, Than Ever
Sep 24, 10:10PM
Google just released a research paper with the grandiose title "Understanding the Modern Gamer," which looks at search and purchase activity around blockbuster video game titles. The conclusion: Gamers are doing more searching than ever related to their favorite games, and they're doing it over the space of a full year year. The subtext: Hey video game publishers, maybe you should some buy some ads from Google, especially in the months before a game launches.SeatGeek Isn't Just About Secondary Ticketing Anymore, Thanks To Ticketfly Partnership
Sep 24, 9:45PM
SeatGeek aims to become the definitive search engine for live events, but until now, the tickets available on the site only came from secondary resale sites like StubHub — in other words, if a ticket was going to show up on SeatGeek, someone else had to buy it first and then try to resell it. Now, however, SeatGeek users can purchase tickets directly from the venues, thanks to a partnership with ticketing startup Ticketfly.How Google's Powerful Lobby Legalized Driverless Cars In California
Sep 24, 9:45PM
"Behind the scenes it was a real struggle," said Howard Posner, a veteran legislative staffer who helped Google lobby behind-the-scenes for autonomous cars in California. In an unusually candid interview with the investigative reporting outlet, the Bay Citizen, the soon-to-retire consultant was surprised with the level of support. "It was a powerful effort that they put together," said Gov. Schwarzenegger's former Deputy Chief of Staff, Rob Stutzman, who represents the carmaker's opposition. "They picked a powerful author. They clearly lobbied the governor's administration as well."FeedBurner Experiencing Stat Issues, API To Shut Down
Sep 24, 9:32PM
Feed stats, one of FeedBurner's main features, is currently broken, and Google quietly wrote a shutdown notice for the API. FeedBurner is a product that has been neglected by Google over the years. Yet, as the dominant product to manage RSS feeds, many developers count on it and expect it to be reliable. The future of the service remains unsure and a service shutdown is not out of the equation.Amazon App Store Zeroes In On Strengths: Real Goods Purchasing And Recommendations
Sep 24, 8:40PM
At just a year of age, Amazon's app store is a relative newcomer against both Google Play and Apple's app store. Yet given Amazon's prowess in e-commerce plus the Seattle-based company's willingness to aggressively court top-tier mobile developers, the store has certainly made itself noticed in the app ecosystem. We caught up with Aaron Rubenson, who has overseen the app store over the last two years as a director, to see how it's evolved over the past year. So first off, Amazon is notoriously private about any of its sales figures, so there are no numbers on total downloads beyond "hundreds of millions" and there no stats on the active installed base of Kindle owners either.Apple TV 5.1 Brings Custom Network Configurations, Could Allow For VPN Use
Sep 24, 8:29PM

Just Let It Go.

Sep 24, 7:46PM

The service then calculates how far the old rook took the queen, as they say in the world of competitive chess.Facebook Share Takes A 9.5% Hit As Wall Street Turns Against Its Business Model
Sep 24, 7:29PM
On Saturday, the financial magazine Barron's published a very damaging cover story against Facebook and its business model. The article doesn't break any news about the company, rather it sums up all the negative points that Wall Street has been discussing since Facebook's May IPO, in a way that seems to have struck a chord with Wall Street. The result is yet another difficult day for the stock (NASDAQ:FB). Currently, shares are trading at 9.49 percent below yesterday's price. It rose slightly from a low of 20.36 to 21.07 at 3pm Eastern.Google Announces Its Third Code-In Contest For High School Students, Starts November 26
