Apple To Raise Another $17B In Debt To Avoid Repatriating Foreign-Held Cash
Apr 28, 5:51PM
As it looks to return more of its accumulated past-net profit margin — cash, and so forth — to investors, Apple will again turn to debt to raise the funds needed. If that seems odd, keep in mind that most of Apple’s cash is held overseas, and to bring it home would incur a financial penalty equal to the full United States federal corporate tax rate: 35%. So, the company is… Read More

Apr 28, 5:48PM
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon and Disney Research have created a 3D printer that can output a real, cuddly teddy bear in a few hours, thereby putting Santa's elves out of business. The machine uses soft yarn and a needle to "felt" the object together by entangling the fibers as the object is built. Read MoreFacebook Open-Sources The Animation Engine That Powers Its Paper App
Apr 28, 5:24PM
Facebook today announced that it is open-sourcing the Pop animation engine that powers most of the user interface of its Paper app. The code is now available on GitHub. The history of Paper is closely interwoven with that of Push Pop Press, which Facebook acquired in 2011. The company had quickly made a name for itself in digital publishing thanks to its interactive eBook version of Al Gore's… Read MoreTech Stocks Bloodbath As Weibo, Netflix, Amazon, Twitter, And Facebook Take It On The Chin
Apr 28, 5:09PM
It's a rough day in the public markets for high-flying tech companies. The recently public Weibo and stalwarts Netflix, Amazon, Twitter and Facebook are posting large losses. The combined declines have helped push the NASDAQ down nearly a percent while the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up a fraction. Read MoreMacBook Air Refresh With Spec Bumps Said To Be Coming Tomorrow
Apr 28, 5:07PM
Apple is planning a mid-cycle spec bump for the MacBook Air, according to a new report from 9to5Mac. The key feature of this update is said to be the use of new next-gen Intel Haswell processors, according to the report, as well as changes to the basic storage configurations available for the SSD drives of the machines. The designs will remain the same, however, and this isn’t the supposed… Read MoreForget Bake Sales: Two Startups Let You Resell Clothing And More To Raise Money For Schools
Apr 28, 4:32PM
There are a number of startups catering to those who want to buy and sell "gently used" clothing and other items online, whether directly to fellow consumers as on Threadflip and Poshmark, for example, or with a company acting as middleman and curator, like thredUP, Twice, TheRealReal, and elsewhere. But a couple of companies want to take things a step further. Instead of simply putting a… Read MoreSamsung Galaxy S5 'Prime' Could Bring A Premium Bump To The Android Flagship In June
Apr 28, 4:19PM
In a somewhat unusual move, Samsung is rumored to be planning a premium version of their already high-end Galaxy S5 Android smartphone. That device could arrive as early as June, according to a new report from Asia Today (via SamMobile) and might include a 2560×1440 display (better than the full HD screen on the GS5) as well as an eight-core processor and possibly a metal (or at least… Read MoreEzeep Secures More Cash To Shift Office Printing To The Cloud
Apr 28, 3:46PM
The concept of “cloud printing” has promised a lot but not exactly set the world on fire. Google Cloud Print (GCP) is designed for printing from mobile devices. However, it’s not an offering for larger organisations and doesn’t offer any features around the management of printers, a typical office headache. And Papercut is largely higher education focused and doesn’t… Read MoreMicrosoft Won't Brand Its Own Phones 'Microsoft Mobile' — Nor Use Nokia's Name For Long
Apr 28, 3:09PM
Now that Nokiasoft is (un)officially a thing, following the completion on Friday of Microsoft's multi-billion dollar purchase of Nokia's devices division, the question of which brand names Microsoft is going to push on its own brand smartphones comes to the fore. Today, Stephen Elop confirmed that 'Microsoft Mobile' is not on Redmond's mobile brand plan. The Nokia brand likely won't be around for… Read MoreAuthy Brings Two-Factor Authentication To The Desktop
Apr 28, 3:01PM
When you use two-factor authentication, chances are you are getting your second factor from a mobile phone app like Google Authenticator or Authy. This makes sense, given that you want to ensure that nobody who has access to your computer also has access to the application that provides you with your second key for accessing your private accounts. Authy is turning this idea on its head today by… Read MorePopcorn Time Is Coming To Android As Soon As Tomorrow
Apr 28, 2:50PM
Popcorn Time's evolution continues. A popular fork of the original software is launching on Android as soon as tomorrow, one of the developers tells TechCrunch. The software also recently gained TV shows from HBO and others, making it a one-stop-shop for all your pirating needs. Read MoreHP Reveals Android-Powered SlateBook 14, Which Looks Like A More Capable Chromebook
Apr 28, 2:49PM
Google’s product lines were bound to come into conflict, and this HP SlateBook 14, which broke cover on HP’s website (via MobileSyrup) in the official trailer you see above, definitely leaves me scratching my head about the continued existence of Chrome OS. The SlateBook 14 in the video is powered by Android, not Chrome OS, and it begs the question of why every Google-powered… Read MoreFly Or Die: Nokia Lumia Icon
Apr 28, 2:35PM
The Nokia Lumia Icon is yet another smartphone out of the Microsoft camp looking to pull you away from either iOS or Android. Where specs and features are concerned, it's prepared to deliver. Read More

Apr 28, 2:03PM
Mobile deep linking - a technology construct which allows mobile apps to be interconnected in a way that's similar to how the web itself operates via clickable links - took another step forward today.

Apr 28, 2:00PM
As I noted in January, the U.S. government is quite interested in getting out of the Bitcoin business and has, thus far, been working hard to convert seized bitcoin to actual cash, a move that could affect the BTC markets if these large transactions happen For example, this press release by the Department of Justice outlines how they caught alleged Silk Road user Conrnelis Jan Slomp in Miami last… Read MoreAOL Says Spoofed Emails Appeared To Come From 2% Of Accounts, No Financial Info Affected
Apr 28, 1:58PM
AOL just released more information about the email spoofing incident earlier this month.

Apr 28, 1:17PM
E-commerce giant Alibaba, part of Yahoo, is buying a $1.22 billion stake in Youku Tudou, the main online video provider in China, akin to YouTube. The move looks like a competitive bulwark against its main rival, Tencent. Alibaba and Yunfeng Capital are paying $30.50 per American Depositary Receipt of Youku, or a 26.3% premium over the last traded price, Youku Tudou said in a statement. The two… Read MoreIf at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
