So 15 of the 30 cities with the highest rents in the country are all in the San Francisco Bay Area, with Palo Alto topping the list, according to this lovely report from Lovely that came out last week.

Scientists have discovered a way to find your veins before poking around half a dozen times to find the spot.

The… Read MoreThoughtful.org Is Now A Crowdfunding Platform For Medical Costs And Emergencies

As part of the founding team at Adly, Derek Rey helped build one of the first businesses focused on social media advertising.

Nov 02, 10:02PM
Google Glass is as common as a Tesla motoring down the 101 here in Silicon Valley, but it’s a novelty only read about through media outlets in most of the rest of the world. Sophia Dominiguez knew that novelty was wearing off fast in our city by the Bay, so the 22 year old recent NYU grad says she decided to take Glass where most people had never had a chance to see it up close –… Read MoreDefakto Detail Struktur Review: A Watch Designed With Design In Mind
Nov 02, 6:47PM
Defakto is a boutique German watchmaker that creates the cases for brands with more recognition and history, but which focuses on classic, modern designs for its own imprint. The case shapes themselves are largely traditional and without flourish, with smaller diameter faces that look good on most wrist sizes. Defakto’s watch faces are exercises in minimalism, but with enough detail put… Read MoreBuilding A Better Version Of Capitalism Is A Massive Startup Opportunity
Nov 02, 6:00PM
Why, on a philosophical level, has Facebook been so staggeringly successful? A startup that swelled into a multi billion dollar revenue generating business in a relatively short span of years, one which continues to attract billions of users every month? Read MoreBe Smarter Than That, Uber Users
Nov 02, 5:22PM
Uber surprised a 26-year-old Baltimore woman with a spooky Halloween bill that hit $326 on a routine ride, resulting in her inability to pay her rent and general Internet outrage.

Nov 02, 4:00PM
There was a quite a jolt on Friday from the news that Slack, a company whose eponymous enterprise communications platform was first publicly launched this year, raised $120 million in new venture funding from KPCB and Google Ventures. Even more eye-popping was the valuation: $1.12 billion.

Nov 02, 3:16PM
Google has a new service in the works that could allow users of Android devices to share media with others nearby, even if those users are rocking iOS devices like iPhone and iPads instead of gadgets running Google’s mobile OS. The so-called Copresence feature, revealed by an Android Police source digging around in the latest Google Play Services APK, would allow devices to use… Read MoreSalesforce's Service Cloud 1 Is A Wearable Technology Trojan Horse
Nov 02, 4:00AM
Imagine a scenario in which an oil rig worker suddenly hears an alarm sound from somewhere on the rig. The adrenaline rush begins and the worker knows he has to move fast. The sound of the siren is not a clear signal as to where the trouble is, but the smartwatch on his wrist indicates exactly where to go and what needs to be done to fix the problem. As he works to fix it, each step is… Read MoreThe Internet Archive Now Lets You Play 900+ Classic Arcade Games In Your Browser
Nov 02, 2:12AM
Looking for a nice little burst of nostalgia on this fine Saturday evening? Don’t feel like going through the process of installing MAME and lurking for ROMs, but still want to get your classic arcade on? Back in December of last year, the Internet Archive (in their effort to backup the entire digital world, one bit at a time) launched a “Console Living Room” that offers… Read MoreTwo Worlds Colliding: How LinkedIn Could Take On Salesforce

Nov 01, 8:00PM
With its illustrious 138-year history, its 114,000 global workforce and its $38 billion dollar market cap, you’d think that the Swedish tech giant Ericsson would be secure as the world’s leading provider of technology and services to telecom operators.
