Sep 26, 5:00AM
B&N is making some big strides in the land of digital, and though these new tablets aren't the most gorgeous slates I've ever seen, they do have what it takes to be contenders against the Fire HD, if reading is your first priority with a tablet. Barnes & Noble, the world's largest seller of physical books, is yet again trailing in the footsteps of Amazon with High-Def iterations of their tablet, the Nook. In case you missed it, Amazon just recently launched the Fire HD, in both 7-inch and 8.9-inch flavors. Yes, this announcement is very familiar, but that's not to say it doesn't have value. So let's get started.Senator Rockefeller Warns Google, Microsoft And Yahoo: Dodgy Movers Are Using SEO To Game Your Systems

Sep 25, 10:59PM
We in the media have a love-hate relationship with public relations firms and their professionals, with that relationship tending to skew heavily to the latter. Companies pour countless hours of blood, sweat and tears into building products and viable businesses, and when they're ready to tell those unique stories, they turn to PR. But as it stands right now, companies struggle to find the right PR match, and for the high cost, they don't get enough value in return. And this goes both ways.Following Big Mobile Redesign, StumbleUpon Brings New Pinterest-Like Look To The Web

Users didn't love the new rendition, and last week, the 10-year-old company released another big redesign -- this time bringing a bold new look to its iOS apps.Twitter Announces "People You May Know" Email Newsletter

Sep 25, 7:54PM
This morning, Apple's marketing chief Phil Schiller reportedly told a user that the iPhone 5's aluminum back obviously makes it more prone to scratches. That's all fine and dandy, but that's only a small part of #ScratchGate. The real problem Apple seems to be having is with its quality assurance programs over at Foxconn. Now that more pre-ordered phones are arriving, it's becoming pretty clear that despite Apple's assurances that every phone is being built with nanometer precision, something is off with this first batch of iPhone 5s. How do I know? I just got one.TechCrunch's YouTube Channel Hits 10 Million Video Views
