YesVideo's Legacy Republic Is Building A Freelance Workforce To Digitize Family Photos and Videos
Oct 02, 1:20AM
YesVideo announced a new initiative today that aims to recruit an army of “Legacy Makers” to help digitize family photos and videos. For those of you who aren’t familiar with YesVideo, the company was founded back in 1999 and focuses on converting videos (in formats like VHS and 8 millimeter film) to digital, then making the content available online and on DVD. With Legacy… Read MoreBox Said To Further Delay Its IPO
Oct 02, 1:03AM
Box, an enterprise-facing cloud storage and productivity company, is said to be further delaying its initial public offering (IPO). The delay could last until its fiscal fourth quarter, which ends after the first month of the new year. This is viscerally unsurprising given that the company has consistently said that it will go public when it makes sense, and that it closed another round of… Read More

Oct 01, 11:31PM
The 90s may be over… the pogs stuffed in a box in the garage, the bowl cuts shaved, the grungy hemp necklaces thrown away… But we have virtual reality. We can rebuild it. And, apparently, we’re starting by rebuilding the back seat of the car from Night At The Roxbury. Read MoreAn Immigrant Experience

Oct 01, 10:21PM
Microsoft announced Windows 10 the other day. Putting aside the fact they skipped version 9, and all of the jokes that could evoke, the announcement appeared to be one long apology to the enterprise. We’re sorry we dissed you in version 8 and we want to beg you to take us back. And we brought your favorite Start button. Remember, the one you’ve lived with and loved since 1995?

Startup studio Science Inc. is announcing its latest project — Refame, a marketing platform for social apps Vine and Instagram.

Oct 01, 9:02PM
It’s an oft-trotted-out tech truism that there’s an app for everything. But when a pitch for a smartphone application for sexual consent lands in the inbox, well yes, it can certainly feel like there is indeed an app for everything.

Oct 01, 7:39PM
After handing over the reins at Kickstarter and assuming the role of chairman at the wildly successful crowdfunding company, Perry Chen’s next online act is launching Dollar A Day, a site aimed at educating the public on the wide world of non-profit giving and volunteering. Dollar a Day began as a mostly volunteer project that Chen started with a few other friends from the tech industry… Read MoreFacebook Apologizes To LGBT Community And Promises Changes To Real Name Policy
Oct 01, 7:29PM
After weeks of backlash over Facebook’s real name policy, namely from members of the LGBT community who have had their Facebook pages suspended due to drag names, Facebook has met with members of the community and apologized for any hardship they might have caused. Facebook’s VP of Product Chris Cox made a statement today on Facebook apologizing (on behalf of the company, it seems)… Read MoreA New App Called Offtime Helps You Unplug Without Missing Out
Oct 01, 7:26PM
Apparently, navel-gazing about how much time you’re spending on your phone is a thing now. We’ve already seen iOS apps like Moment and Check appear to shame you into self-restraint by alerting you to how many minutes you spend staring at your little screen every day, or how many times per day you pull out your phone and take a look. Now, it’s Android’s turn. A new… Read MoreFab's Jason Goldberg Talks Design And The Art Of The Pivot At Disrupt Europe

Oct 01, 6:48PM
Downloading the Windows 10 technical preview? You won’t be able to use it past two weeks after April Fool’s day next year. That’s jolly, because the consumer-facing preview that will follow the current build will be out long before then. But it’s worth keeping in mind: Microsoft is working towards a mid-year release of Windows 10, so the April date is in within that… Read More#GapGate Widens As Samsung Responds Saying Some Space Is To Be Expected
Oct 01, 6:31PM
Korean owners of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 have noticed that their brand new devices sport an unusual feature – a gap between the bezel and the screen that can fit a business card. The Gal Note 4, which hasn’t reached our shores, sold out on launch day. Now the gap appears to be a perfectly normal occurrence. Samsung even addresses the gap in their documentation, noting that… Read MoreSkylanders Trap Team Review: Good Storytelling And Simple RPG Mechanics Succeed
Oct 01, 6:30PM
The ‘Toys to Life’ category has been a much-needed savior for the gaming and toy industry alike, bolstering sluggish sales for both by anticipating a huge demand for real-life action figures that can be ‘brought to life’ for use in digital games. Activision’s Skylanders series pioneered the concept, and the originator is back with Trap Team, a new installment with… Read MoreGoogle Drops Compute Engine Prices By 10 Percent
Oct 01, 5:00PM
Earlier this year, Google announced massive price drops for all of its cloud computing services that were quickly matched by Amazon, Microsoft and others. Today, during Google’s Atmosphere Live event, the company’s senior VP Urs Hölzle announced yet another — but smaller — round of price drops centered around the company’s Compute Engine cloud computing service.… Read MoreQuantcast Acquires Ad Personalization And Retargeting Company Struq
Oct 01, 4:30PM
Quantcast is announcing that it has acquired Struq, a London-based company that offers cross-device retargeting and personalization for advertisers.

Oct 01, 4:15PM
Morning, everyone, have some fun: You can download the Windows 10 technical preview here. The new code is only a partial look at the coming operating system, something which Microsoft told TechCrunch again, and again yesterday. It does start to field a perspective at what Microsoft has in mind for its new platform, however: An environment where touch and more traditional mouse and keyboard… Read MoreYou Can Play Tetris On This Steampunk Bracelet
Oct 01, 4:14PM
Keven Bates, the creator of the Arduboy programmable business card, has taken his upcoming project and stuffed it into the coolest bracelet you’ll see all week. The wearable, made of copper and exposed circuitry (do not get it wet, naturally) can play Tetris on a tiny LCD screen. You move the blocks by tapping the sides of the bracelet and it scrolls the falling parts across multiple… 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.
