Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, the man Newsweek claimed was the mysterious founder of Bitcoin, has created a web page asking for donations in his fight to sue the magazine after he was allegedly “targeted and victimized by a reckless news organization.” The site, NewsweekLied, is an effort to hold the magazine accountable for “confusing” the 65-year-old unemployed engineer… Read MorePopcorn Time Finds A New Home After The EURid Pulled Its Domain
Oct 14, 12:03AM
When your product streams pirated content, it’s safe to expect some complications along the way.

Oct 13, 10:00PM
Good news! Anki Drive works with Android. Bad news! It only works with a few Android devices. This update comes just in time for the holiday shopping season. Since its high-profile launch last year, the clever Anki Drive has only worked with iOS devices because, mainly, the product requires Bluetooth Low Energy support, which isn’t widely available on Android devices.

Read MoreMicrosoft And Salesforce Promise Windows, Office And OneDrive Integration
Oct 13, 7:30PM
It turns out that Microsoft and Salesforce were serious when the two firms detailed a plan to integrate their products earlier this year. Today at the Dreamforce conference, the companies announced that a Salesforce1 app for Windows Phone will be released the second half of 2015, that Office will see integration with the Salesforce suite, and that OneDrive will also garner a connection to the… Read MoreFlight Attendants Union Sues The FAA Over Use Of Electronics In Flight
Oct 13, 7:10PM
About a year ago, the FAA gloriously adjusted their guidance regarding the use of portable electronic devices during takeoff and landing. For the first time in years, travelers could boldly and proudly listen to music or play Two Dots or mindlessly click into social apps (forgetting there’s no service in the sky) without fear of reprimand from flight attendants. Turns out, the largest… Read MoreFormer Millennial Media Exec Marcus Startzel Is The New CEO At Ad Attribution Startup MediaGlu

Oct 13, 6:32PM
Two new applications, Drop and Push, want to save you from having to download multiple news apps or browse dozens of websites just to keep up with the topics that interest you. But what makes these two apps different, when compared with news aggregators or other mobile news readers (aka RSS readers), is that they primarily function via push notifications. Read MoreWe've Got Questions For Tim Armstrong At Disrupt Europe
Oct 13, 6:16PM
Yes, we’ve invited our boss to our conference, but he has a lot to say for himself. I mean, we too want to know if Aol, and by transitive property TechCrunch, is being sold to Yahoo, am I right? Tim Armstrong, CEO and Chairman of TechCrunch’s parent company, AOL, will be joining us for a fireside chat on Monday, October 20th. Armstrong has been the Chairman and CEO of AOL since… Read MoreWindows 10 Attracts 1M Testers In Two Weeks
Oct 13, 5:58PM
Microsoft announced this morning that it crossed the 1 million tester mark for the technical preview of its Windows 10 operating system.

Oct 13, 4:05PM
Accessing your entire photo and video collection from any device can still be a challenge today, especially if you have your media spread out across a variety of local hard drives as well as various cloud services where you have to pay for storage – potentially limiting how much of your collection is hosted online at any given time.

I think it’s safe to say the Boston startup scene… 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.
