This Chocolate Drone Will Fly Directly Into Your Distended Belly
Jun 16, 8:09PM
Look: you and I both know what’s going on here. This is either a viral ad for Milka or a riff on Ãœter Zörker at the Springfield Chocolate Factory but let’s retract our marketing antennae for a moment and just revel in the idea: this is video of a quadcopter made of chocolate. The body is made of chocolate. The motors, obviously, are metal and the propellers plastic, but the rest… Read MoreMakerBot Now Shipping Massive Z18 3D Printer
Jun 16, 7:58PM
When MakerBot announced the Z18 printer last January at CES, there wasn’t much of a shipping date.

Dropbox has been acquiring companies to help it expand the services that it can offer to consumers and enterprises beyond cloud storage. But the company — which has raised $1.1 billion and is among the larger tech startups tipped for an IPO — is also making strategic acquisitions to help keep its own house in order. We have found out that Dropbox has quietly acquired a company… Read MoreYahoo Drops 5% After Alibaba's Updated F-1 Filing Indicates Slipping Margins

Jun 16, 6:23PM
Facebook Paper is pretty, but sluggish when it comes to news. Its human curated sections take a while to ingest the latest world events and gossip. But today’s 1.2 update adds a “Trending” section that highlights news stories and photos that capture the essence of the most mentioned topics on Facebook. Those aren’t always hard-hitting news, but are things people care… Read MoreGHash Looks To Quell Bitcoin Market Worries In Wake Of "51%" Scare
Jun 16, 6:12PM
The bitcoin community was rattled recently when it became known that GHash, a mining pool, had crossed the 51 percent mark, indicating that it was powering more than half of the computing heft that undergirds the cryptocurrency’s foundation. At issue is the general consensus that any party that controls 51 percent or more of that computational power can do unkind things with bitcoin at… Read MoreEarshot Raises $1.7M To Help Companies Connect With New Customers On Social Media
Jun 16, 6:09PM
Social marketing startup Earshot is announcing that it has raised $1.7 million in new funding. Founder and CEO David Rush told me that unlike most social listening and marketing tools, Earshot is less focused on helping businesses interact with people who are already fans and customers, and more on helping them find new customers, even if “they’re not using the right handle or… Read MoreGuesty, A Property Management Service For Airbnb Hosts (And Soon, More), Raises $1.5M

Jun 16, 5:40PM
For a long time, there’s been a philosophical split in the Bitcoin community about how to store crypto-currency on behalf of users. Do you do it on the web, with something that resembles an e-mail or Paypal-like interface? Or should consumers held more responsible for storing their own Bitcoin offline? Do you make them handle their own public and private keys? Or do you take that… Read MoreBox Acquires YC-Backed Streem
Jun 16, 5:33PM
This morning Box, a cloud-based file-management service, announced that it has acquired Streem, a Y Combinator-backed company that allows customers to “stream” files to their desktop environments.

The four members of Streem will join Box.… Read MoreAccompani Wants To Be The Relationship Manager To Rule Them All
Jun 16, 5:01PM
Many of us suffer the same problem–as our professional networks grow, we can’t keep track of each person’s details, including jobs, personal interests, kids, news and more. Amy Chang, the former global of head of product for Google Analytics and measurement, has spent a lot of time thinking about this problem. And she, and her former colleague at Google, Matthias Ruhl,… Read MoreTimeshel Ships You iPhone Photos In A Stackable, Keepsake Box
Jun 16, 4:29PM
With the rise of smartphones, a photograph’s value has changed. While some high-quality photos will always be viewed as art, the everyday photos we take of ourselves, our friends and family, and the world around us are viewed differently. Some are so meaningless, we’ve made them disposable – as with apps like Snapchat. Others we want to remember for longer, so we slow down… Read MoreGoogle Cloud Platform Gets SSD Persistent Disks And HTTP Load Balancing
Jun 16, 4:24PM
Google’s I/O developer conference may just be a few days away, but that hasn’t stopped the company from launching a couple of new features for its Cloud Platform ahead of the event.

Both of these features… Read MoreFacebook's iPad App Becomes An Entertainment Hub With Game Discovery And Trending Videos Sidebar
Jun 16, 3:00PM
Over 70 percent of people who use Facebook for iPad played a Facebook-connected game in the past 90 days, so the company is helping them discover or re-engage with games through a new homepage sidebar it starts testing today on its iPad app. It includes social notifications for native mobile and Facebook web games you already play, video trailers for games you don’t, plus Trending… Read MoreBeats Is Using World Cup Fever To Promote Exclusive Early Access To Tracks
Jun 16, 2:53PM
Apple acquired a streaming music service with Beats, but how do you distinguish yourself in a market where one of the earliest movers still has an overwhelming percentage of mindshare? The key might be the unique advantages Beats has in terms of industry partnerships thanks to its deep recording scene roots, which could help it procure exclusives that listeners can only get in a single… Read MoreGoogle Names Its First "Glass At Work" Certified Partners To Focus On Business And Medical Use Cases
Jun 16, 2:36PM
Google Glass is quickly turning into the butt of a joke in the consumer market, where it’s being parodied on The Daily Show and elsewhere, and where the term “glasshole” is now a common way to refer to what someone people call “those face computers.” Today, Google is looking to rehab that image a bit by focusing on more practical applications designed for businesses.

Jun 16, 2:01PM
Microsoft has been on quite a cloud roll lately and today it announced a new cloud-based machine learning platform called Azure ML, which enables companies to use the power of the cloud to build applications and APIs based on big data and predict future events instead of looking backwards at what happened. The product is built on the machine learning capabilities already available in… Read MoreMicrosoft Launches Internet Explorer Dev Channel For Developers And Early Adopters
Jun 16, 2:00PM
While most popular browsers offer numerous release channels, Microsoft has always held back from this idea and instead launched preview versions of its upcoming releases a few weeks or months before the actual launch. That’s changing. Now, developers and early adopters can install a developer version of IE that can run alongside their existing IE11 installs on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1.

Jun 16, 1:41PM
The Transportation Department is angling for regulatory control over navigational apps as a part of the Obama administration’s proposed transportation bill, which is expected to pass later this year.
