Jimmy Wales Blasts Europe's "Right To Be Forgotten" Ruling As A "Terrible Danger"
Jun 07, 7:00PM
Court of Justice that requires Google to consider information removal requests from individuals whose data its search engine has indexed. In comments emailed to TechCrunch, Wales described the ruling as censorship of knowledge — pure and simple. “In the case of truthful, non-defamatory information obtained legally, I think there is no possibility of any defensible… Read MoreWith iOS 8, The iPhone Will Become Your Digital Hub
Jun 07, 6:00PM
At Macworld 2001, Steve Jobs famously introduced the “digital hub” strategy for the Mac, making it the device where all of the single-purpose gadgets for things like recording movies or playing music would be managed. At this year’s WWDC event, Apple showed that the iPhone is the new hub, and your Mac, iPad, and everything in the cloud is now just an accessory. Read MoreGillmor Gang: Apple Sauce
Jun 07, 5:00PM
The Gillmor Gang — Dan Farber, Kevin Marks, Robert Scoble, and Steve Gillmor. The setup: a delicious Apple muscle-flexing that to some somehow escaped the gravity of the Post Jobs era into orbit. We barely got to all the delights in the candy store — even upstarts with plenty to lose like the Box guy sat in the front row with a grin on his face at the sheer fun of Apple’s… Read MoreMozilla Continues To Bet On Firefox OS Even As Android Encroaches On The Low-End Market
Jun 07, 2:00PM
Firefox OS is a tough project to evaluate. Mozilla’s phone operating system is meant for developing countries and first-time smartphone owners. To keep the price of the phones down, the hardware it comes on doesn’t really compare to today’s flagship phones, either. Instead of native apps, Firefox OS runs web apps written in HTML5 and JavaScript, which naturally incurs a… Read MoreDear Clients, Please Stop: Ten Ways Founders Sabotage Themselves
Jun 07, 1:00PM
I spend my Saturdays ranting opining here on TechCrunch, but I spend my work weeks writing software, building apps, sites, and services for the fine startup-to-Fortune-500 clients of the software consultancy HappyFunCorp. (Check out our spiffy new web site!) In that time I have learned many lessons from our clients…the hard way. Read MoreProductivity And The Education Delusion
Jun 07, 4:00AM
There is a constant tension about education in labor economics these days. On one hand, education is strongly correlated with income as well as employability. Workers with college degrees, or even just some university-level courses, are significantly more likely to have a job and to be paid better, as well. This is borne out by today’s U.S. jobs report, which showed a decrease of… Read MoreApple's New Approach To iCloud Is Good News For Everyone
Jun 07, 12:59AM
At its WWDC keynote earlier this week, Apple announced CloudKit, a new, “effectively free” developer framework that lets app creators tap into Apple’s iCloud so that they can more easily work cloud components into their mobile apps. Read MoreA Brief History Of Tinder
Jun 06, 11:37PM
This week, Tinder yet again took online dating to a new level. After gamifying the experience of flirting in a bar, and putting it in your pocket, the app has now turned into a pseudo-social network that lets you send photos to all your matches as a single blast, upping the chances for a connection. But as we look forward, it’s worth taking a look at the history of this breakaway success. Read MoreMotionSavvy Is A Tablet App That Understands Sign Language
Jun 06, 11:02PM
There are plenty of things to take for granted in this life, and the ability to hear is one that most of the population does. But not the team at MotionSavvy. Motion Savvy, which emerged from the Leap Motion accelerator AXLR8R, is building a tablet case that leverages the power of Leap Motion in order to translate American Sign Language into English and vice versa. The entire 30-person team… Read MoreScience On The Edge (Of Tomorrow)
Jun 06, 11:00PM
There are plenty of reviews available for those of you looking for advice on whether or not the new military sci-fi flick “Edge of Tomorrow” is worth seeing in theaters. This is not one of those reviews. My purpose in screening the film—and in getting an inside perspective from the film’s director, Doug Liman—was to peer into the depths of the fictional reality… Read MoreGoogle Music Could Get Touchy-Feely If It Does Acquire Moody Playlist App Songza
Jun 06, 10:23PM
“Google Play Music All-Access”. That tongue-twisting name says a lot about how well Google understands humans. It’s also why the New York Post’s report that Google is in talks to buy contextual playlist service Songza for $15 million seems like a smart move. While Google Music has playlists, they’re generic, static, and totally unorganized. Songza lets you say… Read MoreApple's Home Automation Success Rests With Hardware Evangelism
Jun 06, 10:09PM
At its WWDC conference this week, Apple unveiled a scaffolding of sorts that allows developers to control smart home devices like light switches, thermostats, garage doors and more. This is called HomeKit, and it promises to be flexible and powerful — but its success will lie in hardware adoption. Read MoreWe Search More On Apps, Less On Google Now
Jun 06, 9:55PM
We’re using apps on our smartphones and tablets much more to look things up now, according to a new report out from eMarketer. That means a serious drop in ad revenue for many of the major search engines Google, Bing and Yahoo. According to eMarketer, Google mobile ads saw a dramatic 17 percent drop in revenue from 2012. The search giant owned 82.8 percent of the $2.24 billion search… Read MoreCrunchWeek: Uber's $17B Valuation, Houzz Raises $150M, Apple's Big WWDC News
