We Are Dropping RadiumOne As A NY Disrupt Sponsor
Apr 26, 5:47PM
TechCrunch will be dropping RadiumOne as a Disrupt New York hackathon sponsor. As Leena Rao writes, we simply couldn’t sleep at night knowing that we were supporting and promoting a company led by someone who does not share our values on the issue of domestic abuse. In this decision our team is united, both on the editorial and the business side. We will not condone, support, or deal with… Read More
A Letter To The Board Members Of RadiumOne
Apr 26, 5:08PM
Dear RadiumOne Board Members, In covering the day-to-day launches, funding announcements, and feature additions of tech startups and companies, I rarely think about the founder or CEO of a company’s personal life. Sure, when it’s a serial entrepreneur, I take note. Or if the founder happens to be a friend, I’ll ask about their kids and families, and trade banter over the usual… Read More
Gillmor Gang: Call Forwarding
Apr 26, 5:00PM
The Gillmor Gang — Robert Scoble, Dan Farber, Keith Teare, and Steve Gillmor — record a midweek Wednesday edition after Apple and Facebook earnings calls. The Gang seems comfortable with Apple numbers setting the table for a Wearable Winter, if you can count an iWatch as meaning both something on the wrist and Apple TV as an extension of the AppStore. Is Facebook moving away from status… Read MoreSeed Is A Process
Apr 26, 3:00PM
The seed "round" as a singular event appears to be dying. What used to be a discrete funding round is now more of a rolling, continuous financing process. At Bullpen we say "seed is a process," and it's important for entrepreneurs to know how to tailor this process to minimize dilution and maximize survival chances.

Apr 26, 2:32PM
This guest post is written by Ciarán O’Leary and Jade Read, VCs at Earlybird in Berlin.

What’s missing in the Berlin tech ecosystem? Well, a few things. But the elephant in the room really is one – no, a few –… Read MoreGoogle Brings Its Hotel And Restaurant Search To Android
Apr 26, 2:00PM
Google is adding a deeper integration of its hotel and restaurant search to Google Search on Android.

What's Your Honeywell Bubble Count?
Apr 26, 1:00PM
I divided my time this month between West Africa and the Bay Area, which triggered a lot of cultural whiplash, which got me thinking about filter bubbles. I fear today's technology can reinforce our instinct to confuse what's familiar with what's normal ... which leads to skewed perceptions, bad decisions, and needless conflict. It's OK to live in a bubble, but it is not OK to not know that you… Read MoreShanghai-Based ChaseFuture Raises A $400K Round To Ease University Admissions For International Students

Apr 26, 12:19AM
Microsoft lost its first challenge to the authority of the United States government’s use of search warrants to demand data stored abroad. Microsoft challenged a U.S. search warrant for emails stored in Ireland. The cloud does have a physical footprint, after all. The company was not surprised that it lost the initial test, noting in a blog post that “the Magistrate Judge, who… Read MoreUS Telco Firm [REDACTED] Gently Pushed Back Against Bulk Metadata Collection In January
Apr 26, 12:04AM
In December Federal Judge Richard Leon indicated that in his estimation, the bulk collection of telephony metadata by the NSA was likely unconstitutional. He stayed his ruling, however, citing "significant national security interests" and "the novelty of the constitutional issue" at play. Read MoreThe Sony Xperia Z2 Will Launch In The U.S. This Summer
Apr 25, 11:59PM

Apr 25, 10:29PM
Vungle announced today that it's launching what it calls "the first ever advertising exchange built exclusively for in-app video." When the company announced its $17 million Series B in February, CEO Zain Jaffer said that the exchange would allow Vungle to expand beyond app trailers to run video ads for big brands, too. He reiterated that point this week when discussing the exchange, saying… Read MoreHillary Clinton Excoriates Snowden's Leaks, Mocks His Softball Putin Question
Apr 25, 10:09PM
Former Secretary of State, Senator, and First Lady Hillary Clinton isn't big on Edward Snowden. Clinton excoriated Snowden recently, hitting him for leaving the country, not availing himself of whistleblower protections here at home, and for asking Russian President a now widely mocked softball question.

Apr 25, 10:00PM
What’s the haps, Pappy Van Meatsack? Still keeping your juices on the inside? Good, because we’re still not quite at the robot dystopia stage but we’re getting there. Our first contender for TIDWRTWHUFOO of the week is this robotic gecko that, aside from looking cute, can scuttle up walls and glass. The Gecko uses van der Waals’ forces to stick to surfaces thanks to tiny… Read MoreApple Launches Replacement Program For Faulty iPhone 5 Sleep/Wake Buttons

Apr 25, 9:00PM
This week Leena Rao, Colleen Taylor and I sat around the Round Table to discuss the precipitous exit of Google’s Vic Gundotra and the violently abusive CEO of RadiumOne. Gundotra’s departure from the Google – and we’re still trying to find out if he was fired — leaves Google+’s future in doubt. When it comes to the leader of RadiumOne, there is only one… Read More
Yes, AT&T's Threat To Boycott Next Year's Spectrum Auction Was Bullshit
Apr 25, 7:19PM
AT&T: The rules proposed for the 2015 spectrum auction are crap, and we may not take part! FCC: Yeah, sure, right, whatever, no. AT&T: Fine, haha, we were just kidding. Or, to be more precise: Our desire to participate in this auction and our hope for a successful auction is unchanged. We believe that all stakeholders will be able to work together to achieve a successful incentive… Read MoreContently Offers New Analytics Tools To Help Content Marketers Go Beyond Pageviews
Apr 25, 7:10PM
There are a number of startups offering tools to help advertisers create articles, videos, and other content that can attract potential customers.
