Immersive Infections
Jul 19, 10:00PM
Immersive technology will put the user into the digital shoes of their own avatars, experiencing video games, simulations, learning opportunities and even romance on new levels, so it goes without saying that while we can expect all that grandeur, there will be people who try to ruin it, for money. Read MoreGillmor Gang: Yotifications
Jul 19, 5:00PM
The Gillmor Gang — Danny Sullivan, Alexia Tsotsis, Kevin Marks, Keith Teare, and Steve Gillmor — react with nervous jokes as all eyes turn to the success of Yo, the single-minded communication app that has one thing on its little mind. But wait a minute, what’s surreally going on here as BetaWorks’ John Borthwick leads an investment round on the love child union of… Read More11 TechCrunch Stories You Don't Want to Miss This Week
Jul 19, 4:48PM
The week of 7/12 – 7/18 was a busy one for TechCrunch. Here’s the best of the best from this week. Priya Haji was an inspirational and positive presence in the technology and business worlds, and she will be greatly missed. Chicago-based entrepreneur Cheryl Dahle established a crowdfunding campaign on Fundly to help support Haji’s young children. Read “Tech… Read MoreWith 1M Sold In The Last Quarter, Google's Chromebooks Are A Hit With Schools
Jul 19, 4:00PM
During its earnings call this week, Google announced that it — and its partners — sold a million Chromebooks to schools in the last quarter. Overall PC sales worldwide were about 76 million in the last quarter, according to Gartner’s latest numbers, so a million Chromebook sales just to the education market is a pretty good number. Read MoreSupposed iPhone 6 Display Cover Faces The Sandpaper Test
Jul 19, 3:09PM
The leaked component that’s being touted as the front screen of the upcoming iPhone 6 got a good workout in a video test by Youtube regular MKBHD (Marques Brownlee) when it first broke cover, and now Brownlee is back with a new video that takes the durability tests even further. This second round involves exposing the supposedly super-strong sapphire-based material to a true test of… Read MoreEigenmorality and the Dark Enlightenment
Jul 19, 1:00PM
This is a post about good vs. evil and right vs. wrong, but don’t worry, it’s highly technical. Let’s start with Stormfront, the white-supremacist hate site that attracts circa 300,000 unique American visitors per month, and the recent analysis of its members (and follow-up) by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz in the New York Times. Some numbers you probably didn’t expect: Read MoreBlockchain Releases New Android Wallet App To Put Bitcoin Into Everyone's Hands
Jul 19, 1:00PM
Popular bitcoin wallet provider Blockchain.info is releasing a major new version of its Android app, allowing you to store, receive and send bitcoins directly from your Android phone. The key thinking behind the update is to make bitcoin more accessible. It hides the complexity of the protocol in order to encourage mainstream user adoption. Read MoreWaiting For VC
Jul 19, 4:00AM
I spoke to the VC on Wednesday. He said he would have his decisions “fast.” He said the great thing about his VC firm (as opposed to all of those “others”) is that it has absolutely no problem making a quick decision. “Our lawyers are all ready. The deal is boilerplate. We can send the money to you right away.” Now it’s Friday. “Did anyone… Read MoreBebo Founder Michael Birch Sends Cease And Desist To Airbnb For Infringement On "Genital Marketing"
Jul 19, 12:07AM
Bebo founder Michael Birch just sent Airbnb what seems to be a hilarious tongue-in-cheek cease and desist letter, citing the “phallic nature” of the new Airbnb logo. Airbnb’s new logo has been a sort of Rorschach test for all of Silicon Valley, as it has been referred to as both the male and female genitals. To add to the hilarity, Birch sent out a tweet this afternoon that… Read MoreDell Now Accepts Bitcoin For All Online U.S. Purchases
Jul 18, 10:25PM
Dell now accepts bitcoin in the United States for online purchases of its products. The move is a win for CoinBase, which today on its blog announced that it was the integration partner for the personal computing company. Overstock.com and online technology marketplace TigerDirect also accept the cryptocurrency. The price of bitcoin, long a driver of media and public interest in the stuff,… Read MoreNetflix Plays With The Idea Of A Private Viewing Mode To Keep Your History And Recommendations Clean
Jul 18, 9:59PM
While Netflix tends to stray away from hosting stuff that could be considered straight-up porn, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing on there that you wouldn’t want sitting in your viewing history ’til the end of time. Maybe you want to watch Phineas And Ferb on your lunch break without catching flack for it from your buddies later. Maybe you share a Netflix account with… Read MoreHiggle Lets Like-Minded Shoppers Name Their Price When They Buy Together
Jul 18, 9:51PM
Higgle is a recently launched website where consumers can set the price that they want to pay; in exchange, all they need to do is convince enough friends to join in. Higgle is both the name of the company and the term it uses for the discount offers that consumers can make to merchants on the site, combining haggling and bulk discounts, where merchants cut prices in exchange for selling a… Read MoreCrunchWeek: Microsoft's Big Layoffs, Airbnb's New Logo Controversy, Yo Funding
Jul 18, 8:55PM
This week in tech news was a mixed bag: On the sad side, we saw thousands of layoffs from Microsoft. On the ridiculous side, we saw Airbnb debut a new brand logo that effectively served as a Rorschach test for everyone who saw it (and apparently a lot of people have dirty things on the brain.) And on the crazy side — or perhaps, crazy like a fox? — we saw Yo officially announce… Read MoreComments To The FCC Regarding Net Neutrality Slow As Deadline Approaches
Jul 18, 8:52PM
The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) initial comment period regarding its notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on net neutrality regulations ends in around seven hours. Instead of seeing a final surge in submissions, however, it appears that the influx in missives from the public to the agency is slowing. Read MoreGillmor Gang Live 07.18.14
Jul 18, 8:09PM
Gillmor Gang – Danny Sullivan, Alexia Tsotsis, Kevin Marks, Keith Teare, and Steve Gillmor. Live recording session fro today has concluded. Find our Facebook page here. Our live show chat on Friendfeed is here. Read MoreHere's What's New In The Xbox One August Update
Jul 18, 7:32PM
Each month since launch, the Xbox One has received an update meant to teach it a few new tricks. So far, these updates have primarily served to fix bugs, tweak the UI, and reintroduce things that were inexplicably absent after the jump from Xbox 360 to Xbox One — things like external HDD support, automatic account sign-in, and alerts when your friends sign in. Here’s… Read MoreLevi's Stadium, The New Home Of The San Francisco 49ers, Is Geek Heaven
Jul 18, 7:00PM
When the San Francisco 49ers take the field for their first preseason home game on August 17, fans will have a lot to cheer about. Not just because the team, which finished last year with a 12-4 record and made it into the NFC Championship game, is back — but also because they will be playing in a brand new stadium.

Jul 18, 7:00PM

Jul 18, 6:27PM
Yo, the simple app that just sends a “yo” to your friends, has closed $1.5 million in seed funding with a $10 million valuation and is finally ready to talk about its investors.
