What Artificial Intelligence Is Not
Dec 14, 4:00AM
Artificial Intelligence has been in the media a lot lately. So much so, that it’s only a matter of time before it graduates to meaningless buzz word status like “Big Data” & “Cloud”. Usually I would be a big supporter. Being in the AI space, any attention to our often overlooked industry is welcome. But there seems to be more misinformation out there than… Read MoreThe Realm Of Venture Circa 2014
Dec 14, 2:00AM
Today’s venture capital landscape has never been more complex, and it will never again be this simple. It’s hard for entrepreneurs to navigate and VCs to differentiate. And while many believe increased competition has driven valuations up, that simply doesn’t tell the full story. Read MoreThis Art Project Turns The World's Tweets Into A Clock
Dec 13, 8:46PM
Don’t look at the clock. Do you know what time it is? Twitter sure as heck does. Turns out, people love to tweet about the time. So why not turn the Twitter firehose into a massive, crowdsourced clock? Read MoreWith 3D Printing, Medical Devices Are Cool Again
Dec 13, 8:00PM
The recent, successful human implantation of a 3D-printed vertebra at Peking University in China captured the public’s imagination. I read the news (and its quick spread) as evidence that medical devices are dare I say, cool again. Read MoreGillmor Gang: Enterprise Edition

Dec 13, 5:55PM
It seems that Facebook quietly removed Bing as its primary search provider over the weekend, announcing plans to debut its own search tool on Monday, according to Reuters.

Dec 13, 5:00PM
Shove over Tinder. Swiss startup Blinq has come up with a new twist on the dating app. The startup is incorporating beacon proximity technology into the mix so singles can do more meeting IRL and less swiping — thanks to select venues being kitted out with Blinq’s Estimote iBeacons. Read MoreThe Strength Of A Transparent Startup
Dec 13, 4:00PM
If you ask a member of the business-tech community about the benefits of closed systems versus their open counterparts, one word that will almost certainly come up is “security.” There’s been a long-held belief in the tech industry that closed systems are more difficult to corrupt and, therefore, more secure than systems built on a philosophy of radical openness. Read MoreFoundationDB And The New NoSQL
Dec 13, 2:00PM
Databases are the spine of the tech industry: unsung, invisible, but critical–and beyond disastrous when they break or are deformed. This makes database people cautious. For years, only the Big Three–Oracle, IBM’s DB2, and (maybe) SQL Server–were serious options. Then the open-source alternatives–MySQL, PostgreSQL–became viable. …And then, over the last… Read MoreLindsay Lohan's The Price Of Fame Mobile Game Hurt My Thumb
Dec 13, 12:39AM
Lindsay Lohan’s The Price of Fame launched on both Android and iOS this week, adding LiLo to the short list of celebrities with their own, branded mobile game.

Wild first day fluctuations aside, the game is less about rising up… Read MoreThis Guy Took 4 Leafblowers And A Skateboard Deck And Turned Them Into A Wonderfully Goofy Hoverboard
Dec 13, 12:37AM
Want the experience of a kinda-sorta-hover-board, but don’t have $10,000 and a copper halfpipe laying around? Fret not! As Texan Ryan Craven proves, you can pull off something of a similar vein with four gutted leafblowers, a sheet of plywood, and some gorilla tape. The disclaimers here are the same as the rest of the “hoverboards” of 2014: it’s neat, but it’s… Read MoreAlienware Alpha Review: A Gaming PC In A Tiny Package
Dec 13, 12:28AM
Curious to see what life was like with an affordable Windows gaming PC in the form factor of a console, I bought the $799 Alienware Alpha early last week. Read More13 TechCrunch Stories You Don't Want To Miss This Week

Dec 12, 11:15PM
Behavior health analytics startup Ginger.io has announced the launch of Utah SmartCare, a care management platform designed to help low-income Utah residents suffering from mental health issues.

Dec 12, 10:26PM
Six months ago, mobile advertising startup PaeDae changed its name to The Mobile Majority, adjusted its business model, and raised some extra money. Now founder and CEO Rob Emrich is saying that the move has paid off, with the company hitting a $50 million revenue run rate in November. When I wrote about PaeDae last year, it had built a mobile rewards network and was looking to expand into… Read MoreThe Founder's Guide To Email Security
Dec 12, 9:49PM
With the horror of the Sony Pictures breach unfolding in slow motion before us, we are reminded that operational security – OpSec – is absolutely key at any company. Whether or not you traffic in high-value data, the expectation that your servers are secure enough and that your data is worthless is foolhardy. You will be compromised and it will hurt.

Dec 12, 8:21PM
If you’re visiting any Yahoo property today, chances are you’ll see an “Upgrade to the new Firefox” link in the top-right corner of your browser window. The prompt also appears if you’re using Internet Explorer, Opera and even the new Yandex browser. However, the prompt is missing from Safari, which will surely prompt a new round of speculation about… Read MoreChasm.io (Formerly Wahooly) Merges With Social Marketing App Loot
Dec 12, 8:21PM
Remember Wahooly? We wrote about the startup a couple of years ago, describing it as “Klout meets Kickstarter” because it allowed users to gain startup equity in exchange for promoting the company on social media. Since then, Wahooly joined the AngelPad accelerator, rebranded as Chasm.io, and shifted focus to reciprocal sharing (“I’ll tweet your link if you tweet… Read MoreAll Eyes On Box As Tech IPOs Roar Back To Life
Dec 12, 8:02PM
The success of the LendingClub, Hortonworks and New Relic IPOs this week may have created a moment in the market that Box, a company that has long wanted to go public itself, could use to get its long-delayed flotation done at last. I’m totally kidding about the “could” bit there, of course. This is precisely what Box has been waiting for since it first filed in March.
