Oct 04, 5:09PM

8431242096_8eafbb61af_o You wouldn’t think that you could fix the bicycle. It’s just two wheels, a seat, and a set of pedals, plus or minus some fancy materials and high-quality tuning. But for the engineers and designers at Cambridge-based Superpedestrian, that base is just the start for what they hope will be the next generation of urban transit. Reinventing the bike may be good business, but it is also… Read More

Oct 04, 2:56PM

iOS 8 keyboards By far the most exciting thing about iOS 8 — imho — is the side-door it opens into Apple’s walled garden to allow keyboard app makers to come on in for the first time.

Us vs. Them: What's Wrong With You People?

Oct 04, 1:00PM

benin-empire-flag Internet, we need to talk. In a nuanced, thoughtful, intelligent way. I don’t want this to turn into some kind of knee-jerk confrontation. But it will, won’t it? You’ll end up citing the Nazis while frothing at the mouth, won’t you? That’s what you do. Every. Single. Time. What’s wrong with you, Internet? Why can’t we just agree to disagree? By which… Read More

Oct 04, 12:37AM

Screen Shot 2014-10-03 at 5.13.39 PM I don’t think I’ve used a remote control in a year. Perhaps several years. They’re cheap. They get lost easily and sometimes you end up with ten of them. But an Israeli company called Tekoia is trying to consolidate those devices through an app called SureMote that links to Wifi-connected home appliances. The new version of the app uses the infrared blaster on newer… Read More

I Just Used Nimbl To Get 40 Bucks Delivered To The AOL Office

Oct 03, 11:21PM

nimbl Yep — now there’s an Uber for cash. I first became aware Nimbl earlier this afternoon, when I saw some skeptical commentary about it on Twitter. The idea, basically, is that you can use the app to call a Nimbl “runner”, who will bring cash to your location. Read More



When Anna Met Jony

Oct 03, 10:48PM

Jony The fashion industry is secretly sick of being underestimated and under-intellectualized.

Airbnb Lifestyle: The Rise Of The Hipster Nomad

Oct 03, 8:30PM

airpbr For the past year, I’ve lived exclusively in temporary housing I’ve found on sites like Airbnb. I didn’t set out with this goal in mind, but it just sort of happened. And now that it’s happened, I’m starting to wonder whether I really want to go back to a pre-Airbnb life. It all started about a year ago, when my husband and I got struck by a serious bout of… Read More
