May 04, 8:46AM
As I write this, it's about 1am on a Saturday night in New York City, yet TechCrunch's Disrupt NY hackathon is still humming along. Ryan Lawler and I spent the past hour wandering around, interviewing several sleepy-but-friendly participants.

That's… Read MoreCrowdfunded Gadgets That Let You Play Music, Charge, And Wash

Pure Internet
May 04, 1:00AM
The Internet wasn't supposed to be so...Machiavellian. In 1963, Stewart Brand and his wife set out on a landmark road trip, the goal of which was to educate and enliven the people they encountered with tools for modern living. The word "tools" was taken liberally. Brand wrote that "a realm of intimate, personal power is developing." Any tool that created or channeled such power was… Read MoreeBay To Settle Antitrust Suit Regarding Its Hiring Practices For $3.75M

May 03, 9:00PM

During a recent meeting, Julian and I were talking about the cultural… Read MoreGillmor Gang: Pattern Baldness
