For the last few years there has been a lot of talk in the venture capital industry about automating the home and leveraging Internet-enabled devices for various functions in manufacturing and the traditional workplace. The first wave of this was the use of the smartphone as a remote control, like the Nest’s ability to allow consumers to control their thermostat using their smartphone.… Read MoreHP Slips After Reporting Better-Than-Expected Fiscal Q3 Revenue

Aug 20, 8:55PM
Something big is going on with Amazon Prime Air, the e-commerce giant’s research project focused on delivering packages in 30 minutes or less using unmanned drones. And it’s not the dubious story about drone testing in India, which frankly, doesn’t pass the sniff test in terms of accuracy. Prime Air is shaping up to be more than a marketing stunt, it seems. The company… Read MoreThe Pac-12 Networks Are Going Live On YouTube Internationally

Aug 20, 7:23PM
Banking is now in the eye of the beholder. That’s literally for EyeVerify. This new kind of ID verification tech lets you simply hold your smartphone about 8 inches from your face and take a picture of your eyeball. EyeVerify then pattern-matches the blood vessels within the sclera, the white part of your eye, to unlock your bank account.

Aug 20, 6:00PM
The idea behind Roost is not that different from any of those other marketplaces: I’ve got something you can use, you pay me to use it.

Aug 20, 5:11PM
In this episode of Cribs we headed to Storm8, the company that makes lots of popular mobile social games. Storm8 is housed in a, well, pretty bland looking corporate building in suburban Redwood City, so we weren’t sure what to expect. But the inside of the office tells a very different story, with lots of very colorful things to catch the eye. That’s largely because Storm8… Read MoreKuddle, An Instagram With Training Wheels, Introduces Social Media To Kids
Aug 20, 5:01PM
A new mobile application called Kuddle is introducing a safer way for kids to get introduced to social media, while still under a parent’s watchful eye. The photo-sharing app, which is like a more restricted version of Instagram, allows children to post and share photos with friends in a protected environment, safe from cyberbullying or unwanted connections from strangers. Founded in… Read MoreEverdwell Gives Real Estate Agents A More Beautiful Online Home
Aug 20, 4:35PM
Real estate is a business where tech is only slowly starting to make a dent into the traditional way of doing things.

Everdwell wants to give those agents — many of whom aren’t all that tech savvy — an easy way to create an online home for their listings.… Read MoreVine Finally Lets You Import Video From Your Camera Roll

Aug 20, 3:52PM
Two fish are playing Street Fighter over on Twitch, and more than 7,000 people are watching the mayhem. Or, partial mayhem.

Aug 20, 3:29PM
Skype this morning announced a change to the way its notifications will function, designed to keep the app from annoying you with beeps and buzzes across all your devices.
