Netflix Vs. Verizon Vs. Consumer: Who Wins?
Sep 06, 11:00PM
Today’s consumer is streaming more video than ever before. Netflix alone has increased its subscribers by more than 20 million in the past two years, totaling 50 million subscribers as of Q2 2014. It’s no wonder, then, that the increase in video consumption is not without consequences for streaming services and Internet service providers (ISPs). Read MoreThe Disrupt SF Hackathon Has Begun
Sep 06, 10:20PM
The hackathon at Disrupt SF just kicked off, and the tables at Pier 48 (Disrupt’s new, bigger home) are already full of busy coders. Teams have a little less than 24 hours to build cool some cool products and prototypes, which they’ll present tomorrow morning, competing for a variety of prizes. Judges will be rating all of the presentations, with the top 75 getting tickets to… Read MoreThe Feds Found The Silk Road's Ross Ulbricht Thanks To A Leaky CAPTCHA
Sep 06, 9:48PM
You may have heard that the infamous Dread Pirate Robets AKA Ross Ulbricht’s Silk Road was taken down thanks to a problem in his anonymous Tor server. Now, however, Brian Krebs has shown us just how the Feds found Ulbricht’s server and, additionally, the pirate himself. A hole in the Silk Road’s anonymity appeared because of a leaky CAPTCHA prompt. CAPTCHA, as we all well… Read MoreTune In On Tuesday For The Launch Of TechCrunch Radio On Sirius XM 102 Indie

TechCrunch is about to embark on a brand new adventure. We’re coming at you in a way that you’ve never seen heard before. World, prepare yourself for TechCrunch Radio! Read MoreTurning The Phone Call Into The New Click
Sep 06, 9:00PM
Remember the days when you’d pull out a phone book when you needed to contact a business for more information? Today, those yellow phone books get a quizzical look from my kids as we lug them directly to the recycle bin. These days, a few keystrokes and clicks allow us to conduct detailed research on a product and even complete our transaction online. This evolution has defined the… Read More3D Printed Hands Just Got Better Thanks To These DIY Wolverine Claws
Sep 06, 8:48PM
What could be better than giving disabled kids a new pair of hands? How about slapping a set of claws on those hands! Aaron Brown, a maker and volunteer for the group Enabling The Future, has been building 3D printed prosthetic hands for kids who are missing fingers. These hands are given away for free and the group has made countless children quite happy. Now they can be happier. Brown built… Read MoreWhat Is The Fate Of Apple's iPhone 5C?
Sep 06, 8:47PM
With Apple releasing new iPhones next week, the question arises: what will happen to its existing models? With recent releases, Apple has kept older devices around to serve it at lower price points in certain regions. But which older devices are going, which are staying and what will the prices be? Just as a thought exercise, let’s talk this out. What I would conjecture is that the iPhone… Read More3Doodler Launches New Accessories Including A Much-Needed, Anti-Burninating Foot Pedal
Sep 06, 7:59PM
In todays small, hand-held 3D printer news, we learn that 3Doodler (think of a hot glue gun with a lot more usability) has released a few new accessories including a foot pedal that allows you to extrude filament without having to press the button on the device. I played with the 3Doodler a few months ago and was duly impressed. In the right hands – and with the right degree of… Read MoreJoin Us For A Screening Of Print The Legend, A Movie About Makerbot And Formlabs, On Sunday
Sep 06, 7:21PM
If you like 3D printing and you’re free on Sunday night, I’d like to take you to a movie. Print The Legend is an amazing (and dramatic) tale of Makertbot, Formlabs, and 3D printing in general. You can grab tickets right here and I’ll be leading a panel discussion afterwards with Co-Director J. Clay Tweel, Executive Producer Walter Kortschak, and Co-Producer Andrew Kortschak.

Sep 06, 7:00PM
Cyber attacks are all over the news, and it seems like no one is immune — Home Depot, Target, Adobe and eBay included. So why are CIOs still fighting cyber criminals with one hand tied behind their backs? Shockingly, most companies are still relying on outdated, only partially effective methods to protect their sensitive data, mainly with technology that focuses on preventing incoming… Read More>From #hackdisrupt Project To App Store Product, A Hackathon Success Story
Sep 06, 6:00PM
Walking into the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon back in May, Velina Ivanova wasn’t sure how her hack project would be perceived. It wasn’t easy to coax her partners to join her in building an app which helped women (and so-inclined men) to organize their trips to the nail salon, especially when most of the other hackers were using Oculus Rift and other more popular technologies. Read MoreRemember, Disrupt SF And Hackathon Is At A New Venue This Year
Sep 06, 5:28PM
Since the dawning of time, Disrupt SF was held at the San Francisco Design Concourse. But no more! We have a new and improved location for 2014 and consider this a friendly reminder not to go to the old location. This time the show will be held at Pier 48, just south across the 3rd Street bridge by AT&T Park. It’s easy to get to and there is a ton of parking. So remember, Pier 48 and… Read MoreGillmor Gang: Too Soon
Sep 06, 5:00PM
The Gillmor Gang — Dan Farber, Robert Scoble, John Taschek, Keith Teare, and Steve Gillmor. This show is dedicated to the memory of Eric Lundquist. @stevegillmor, @scobleizer, @jtaschek, @dbfarber, @kteare Produced and directed by Tina Chase Gillmor @tinagillmor Live chat stream The Gillmor Gang on Facebook Read MoreThree Marks Of Real Data Science
Sep 06, 4:00PM
As a venture investor looking to invest in data-driven companies, telling real data science apart from pseudo science is difficult, but it’s critically important. Investing in a data science application company won’t deliver long-term returns if the company uses quackery. Read MoreWhat To Expect From Apple's iPhone Event On September 9
Sep 06, 2:34PM
Apple is hosting an event on September 9, and by all accounts it’s going to be a real barn burner. The company is set to announce new iPhones, and this much you can take to the bank, but rumors have also arisen suggesting we’ll see a brand new wearable device of some kind – the great and powerful ‘iWatch’ of legend. Apple will also probably showcase iOS 8, along… Read MoreWhen Old-Economy Jobs Become New-Economy Gigs
Sep 06, 1:00PM
I love the sharing economy because it’s efficient. Got some spare time? Become a TaskRabbit! Spare space? AirBNB it! A car and nowhere to go? Drive for Uber or Lyft! The taxi industry is a regulatory-capture nightmare. Disrupt ‘em ’til they’re dead! …But our 21st-century sharing-economy dream is beginning to look worryingly like a 19th-century robber-baron nightmare. Read MoreApple Dominating Shipping Capacity Out Of China With New iPhones
Sep 06, 2:00AM
According to several sources, Apple has already begun flexing its supply chain muscles by shipping so many units of upcoming devices from its manufacturing facilities to sales outlets that it is causing delays for other manufacturers. Apple shipments via major concerns like FedEx and UPS are said to be ‘incredibly high’ for the holiday quarter, pointing to a massive number of… Read MoreCatering Startup Cater2.me Says It Has Served 5M Meals
Sep 06, 1:44AM
It’s been more than two years since I last wrote about Cater2.me, a service that connects local food vendors with companies in need of catering. Sounds like the startup has been busy since then — co-founder Zach Yungst told me that it has now served 5 million meals total, and that it’s launching in four new cities, bringing the total to 10. Cater2.me’s goal is to deliver… Read MoreHands On With The Moto 360, The First Round Smart Watch
Sep 06, 12:59AM
As we approach Peak Smart Watch at the Apple event next week, manufacturers are racing to offer product to those who might not want to bow down to Cupertino in the coming months. The latest contender is the Moto 360, a steel and leather beauty that launched today alongside the new Motorola X. Although I’ve been duly impressed by the Samsung Gear series, you will immediately that the… Read MoreEyeEm Challenges Flickr For Providing New Media With Relevant Images
Sep 06, 12:32AM
While services like Getty are available, I’ve personally never spent a dime for an image in an article I’ve written — it’s always been easier to do a quick search on Flickr or to shoot my own photos. Photo-sharing service EyeEm wants to offer publishers an option somewhere in between Flickr and paid photo services, and it’s partnering with the Huffington Post to… Read MoreIf at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
