Google Said To Be Planning Android TV Launch At I/O In June
May 30, 7:17PM
Google has long been rumored to replace Google TV with Android TV, a new crack at the home media market with more roots in its mobile OS and less of a separate focus, but a new report from GigaOM today suggests we’ll see it very soon; in fact, it’s apparently set to make its debut at the I/O developer conference taking place at the end of this month. The Android TV platform… Read MoreThis Week On The TC Gadgets Podcast: Apple/Beats, LG, And A $200 3D Printer
May 30, 7:00PM
Apple bought Beats, for $3 billion. LG released the next generation of the G2, which is aptly named the G3. Snapchat’s Evan Spiegel had a few old emails leak that don’t paint him in the best light, and we stumbled across a new 3D printer that is available at the low, low price of $200.

May 30, 6:20PM
We’ve been hearing rumors about Google Stars — a new bookmarking service from Google — for quite a while now, but today, the project got a bit more real thanks to an extension the well-known Google watcher Florian Kiersch found earlier today.

May 30, 6:13PM
Heather Joyce and Erin Matzkin, hard-working technology attorneys who also happen to be moms with a total of five kids between them, spent many years helping companies build websites and apps, but were frustrated that there was not a decent application that addressed their own needs when it came to balancing their work and family lives. So they decided to build one themselves. Today,… Read MoreArts And Tech Non-Profit Gray Area Is A Symbol For A Changing City
May 30, 6:09PM
All great art institutions were once startups too. I was wandering around the U.S.’s largest art museum, New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, the other week (on one of those #museumhack walks) when I learned that the institution’s very first acquisition in 1870 was a lowly unused and unfinished Roman sarcophagus dug up from what is now modern Southern Turkey. Basically,… Read MoreSwivl CEO Brian Lamb Talks About Life After Crowdfunding
May 30, 5:54PM
Brian Lamb started Swivl with a vision: he wanted to make it easier for videographers and presenters to film themselves live. Using a clever little dock that panned around to follow a Bluetooth remote control, the Swivl raised $157,000 on Kickstarter and was released in 2012. Read More
Bitcoin Crosses The $600 Mark As Its Rally Endures
May 30, 5:54PM
After a flat period, bitcoin is back, rallying through the $600 level today. The cryptocurrency, which had zipped north of $1,000 in late 2013, fell under the $400 mark this year on lessened media interest and the implosion of Mt.Gox, an exchange, among other issues. Even at the $600 mark, bitcoin is down nearly 50 percent from its 52-week high. Coinbase has the current price at $613,… Read MoreMicrosoft, Salesforce Partnership Is Proof That Business Makes Strange Bedfellows
May 30, 5:43PM
It’s often been said that politics makes for strange bedfellows, but the same could be said for business. If you want proof, look no further than yesterday’s partnership announcement between Salesforce and Microsoft. These are two companies that compete fiercely for the same customers in the CRM space, suddenly making nice. If you look closely at the deal, you’ll see… Read MoreHouse Votes To Fund Intelligence Programs Through 2015
May 30, 4:49PM

May 30, 4:33PM
Infographic and “visual content” marketplace Visually is the latest startup trying to take a new approach to measuring the effectiveness of content marketing. In the past month or so I’ve written about new analytics tools offered by Contently, Chartbeat, and Sharethrough, all based on the idea that content marketers and native advertisers need new sets of data to tell… Read MoreMotorola Mobility's US Moto X Assembly Plant To Close By End Of Year
May 30, 4:32PM
Part of the sales pitch for Motorola Mobility’s (then Google-owned) Moto X smartphone was that it was partly U.S.-made; an assembly plant to put together the Moto X opened in Fort Worth, Texas in May 2013. That plant will close by the end of this year, Motorola confirms to TechCrunch, however, as sales of the smartphone and operational costs have made continuing operations there… Read MoreMIT Researchers Create An App That Turns Selfies Into Works Of Art
May 30, 4:26PM

YiChang Shih, a researcher at MIT, has figured out how. Read MoreApple Streams WWDC Platform State Of The Union, Design Awards To Developers For The First Time
May 30, 4:23PM
iOS developer Patrick McCarron spotted something interesting in the original press release for Apple’s WWDC event next week from back in April – for the first time, the company will be streaming live video of both the Platforms State of the Union and the Apple Design Awards for registered developers. The State of the Union is arguably the more important keynote for a developer… Read MoreHelloWallet, A One-Time Mint Competitor, Acquired For $52.5 Million

May 30, 4:00PM
It was 1998, and Stanford Business School student Jenny Lefcourt and her fellow female co-founder wanted to raise money for an e-commerce-meets-retail idea they had around weddings. They were thrilled when they convinced a well-known VC at a Sand Hill firm to hear their idea. Before meeting, Lefcourt and her co-founder worked tirelessly on their pitch, hoping to win this VC over and leave the… Read MoreSpor Solar-Powered Battery Charger Wants To Kickstart A Cooler Clean-Energy Ecosystem

May 30, 3:18PM
Users of TrueCrypt, the open source whole-disk encryption solution for Windows and Mac, should probably find something else ASAP.
