The Sure Chill Company Raises Gates Money To Store Vaccines Anywhere
May 14, 6:27PM
One in five children who need vaccinations can’t get them. And while that fact is neither startling nor incomprehensible, it is tragic. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has spent several years and millions of dollars trying to cure the diseases that afflict children unnecessarily in the world’s poorest countries, but always run up against the last mile problem with vaccine… Read MoreMozio Raises $750K For Its Airport Ground Transportation Search Engine

Around a year and a half ago, a company called Mozio debuted its plans to introduce an airport ground transportation search engine that would help travelers book that “last leg” of their trip: getting from the airport to their final destination. Today, the company is announcing it has raised $750,000 in seed funding from a number of strategic backers in the travel industry, including… Read MoreWalmart's Vudu Now Allows UltraViolet Users To Share Their Movies With Up To Five Friends

May 14, 6:00PM
Facebook is taking a swing at suggesting contextual content to keep you surfing after you share. A new test on iOS surfaces related content cards including photos of restaurants you say you're at, friends who've checked in where you did, photos of friends you check in with or mention in a status, and friends who listened to a song you just posted. The cards could make News Feed feel alive. Read MoreBlackBerry Confirms Development Of An Upcoming QWERTY Handset With A Crazy Pixel Density
May 14, 5:57PM
Predictably, BlackBerry is working on a new QWERTY handset. According to the BlackBerry 10.3 SDK, the device will rock a square screen with a 1440×1440 resolution and pixel density of 453 DPI — that’s significantly higher than the somewhat arbitrary definition of a retina display. BlackBerry has long said that they are not giving up on making handsets. With that, the company has also… Read MoreMozilla Relents, Says It Will Implement HTML5 DRM Solution In Firefox
May 14, 5:54PM
Mozilla today announced that it will reluctantly implement the HTML5 DRM standard in its Firefox browser. With more and more copyrighted content being streamed over the Internet, rights holders have long been worried that there is no standardized way to wrap a DRM solution around these streams in HTML5 without resorting to using Flash or Silverlight. A while ago, Microsoft and Google decided to… Read MoreGoogle's Self-Driving Car Project Is A World's Fair Fantasy Turned City Street Reality

May 14, 5:04PM
You may not have heard of NCM Media Networks, the company that Shazam is announcing a partnership with today, but if you've been to a movie theater recently, chances are you've seen their content. NCM runs the FirstLook pre-show segments that run in Regal, AMC, and Cinemark theaters, interspersing ads with behind-the-scenes videos promoting movies and TV Shows.

Read MoreReal-Time Analytics Startup Chartbeat Adds Data For Native Ads, Raises $3M More
May 14, 4:00PM
Native advertising is seen "as this great new hope for publishing," said Chartbeat CEO Tony Haile, but there's also a fair amount of skepticism and outright dismissal. He argued that one of the main reasons for that is pretty simple: "So much of native is bad." Since Chartbeat is a real-time analytics company, it's no surprise that Haile blamed some of that badness on the way the ads are… Read MoreHere Are The Best And Most Interesting iPhone 6 Mockups So Far
May 14, 3:07PM
Apple hasn’t said anything yet about any iPhone 6, nor will it until the fall (or whenever it actually announces it) but that hasn’t stopped the Internet’s collective imagination and curiosity from creating countless mock-ups of what the next generation of Apple smartphone will look like. Just this morning, we heard about how the iPhone 6 could have 1704×960 resolution for… Read MoreJack's Passive-Aggressive Memo To Square
May 14, 3:02PM
Thought leadership disguised as an internal memo? Most obvious #humblebrag ever? Square co-founder Jack Dorsey has posted an internal company memo to Medium this morning, where he rants writes about how some people at the company were using his name to push through and sell ideas. That is, he explains, it’s the whole “Jack really wants this to happen, Jack thinks this is an… Read MoreLitely Is The Best New Photo-Filtering Application For iOS

A new report from 9to5Mac’s Mark Gurman claims Apple is testing a 1704×960 resolution display for its upcoming iPhone. The new display res for the iPhone 6 would allow the device to keep the same screen resolution as the iPhone 5s (16:9) and denser screens in terms of pixels per inch than the current Retina standard, regardless of whether Apple goes with 4.7-inch or 5.5-inch displays on… Read MoreWheretoget Raises $2 Million For Its Powerful Shazam For Fashion

May 14, 1:38PM
dEXTRIS has melted my brain. It's as mind-numbing as Flappy Bird and the design hearkens Geometry Wars combined with the vertical scrolling action of 1942. The premise is simple yet the game is complex. While it feels impossible to hit new milestones, and most often you don't, sometimes your cubes pass a previously unseen flashing line and you feel like a winner.

The report says that a Samsung employee passed along the… Read MoreGeorge R.R. Martin Writes Everything In WordStar 4.0 On A DOS Machine
May 14, 1:14PM
George R.R. Martin is an impressive man. Not only can he kill off characters like it's NBD, and magically make you care for characters who have been historically evil, but he writes millions of words about an imaginary land without any help from the Internet, spell check, or autocorrect. The Song Of Ice And Fire author, and creator behind HBO's "Game of Thrones", writes everything for the… 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.
