Jan 27, 2:00AM
Over the last few years I’ve gotten the pleasure to work with a large number of really talented engineers — some of whom I’ve asked to make the leap into management. Like any individual contributor moving into a new role, they’re asked to fundamentally change the way they approach their day. As I’ve done my best to coach them through this experience, I wrote down… Read More

Read MoreDropcam Stops Selling Its Cheaper Model, The Dropcam HD
Jan 26, 11:49PM
For the past few years, Dropcam’s product lineup has been a bit… confusing. Since October of 2013, Dropcam has sold two products: the Dropcam HD, and the Dropcam Pro. Which one were would-be buyers supposed to see as the “better” one? That won’t be a problem anymore. Read MoreOculus' First In-House VR Film "Lost" Is Cute, Immersive, But Hardly Interactive
Jan 26, 11:38PM
Oculus just premiered its Story Studio’s first virtual reality cinema experience “Lost” that’s designed to demonstrate the narrative potential of VR to filmmakers. The experience features a massive robotic hand traipsing around a darkened forest in search of its body. It proves that a simple, character driven story can be told in an immersive environment.

Jan 26, 10:23PM
In its most recent quarter, Microsoft sold 10.5 million Lumia handsets, and the Surface line generated $1.1 billion in revenue. Both figures are all-time highs. Microsoft did break out total phone revenue — $2.3 billion, down from $2.6 billion in the sequentially preceding quarter — but that figure includes the sale of tens of millions of dumbphones, so it’s slightly… Read MoreFacebook Censors Blasphemous Pages To Comply With Turkey's Demand, But Won't Publish It
Jan 26, 10:15PM
When Google and Twitter receive legal threats from countries to censor controversial content or have their services shut down locally, they often publish them on ChillingEffects.org for transparency. But today when Facebook followed Turkey’s legal order to block Pages that defamed the Prophet Muhammad from Turkish users, it kept the demand private. Rather than get banned, Mark… Read MoreHave An Old Dropcam? It'll Stop Working Soon, But They'll Give You A New One For Free
Jan 26, 10:06PM
Do you have an old Dropcam? As in, one of the boxy-lookin’ ones from when they first launched the company back in 2009? Bad news: it’s about to stop working. Good news: Dropcam will give you a newer one for free to make up for it. Read MoreWinter Is Coming For Wearables
Jan 26, 10:00PM
Remember wearables? Those wristbands and glasses that were going to take over our lives? This time last year, many of us had high hopes that 2014 was (finally) going to be the year of the wearable. Whoops. The wearables revolution didn’t come to pass in 2014, and it’s not going to happen in 2015, either. Why? Read MoreMicrosoft Faces Stiff Mobile Challenge
Jan 26, 9:50PM
Microsoft had a heck of week last week, didn’t it? It actually felt like it got its groove back with HoloLens, its holographic virtual reality glasses, which I have to say looked way cool. It also got our attention with the Windows 10 mobile strategy, and it showed off the desktop version of Cortana, something Siri can’t do. In spite of its good, dare I say, great week, I have… Read MoreMass Surveillance Threatens Digital Security And Human Rights, Says European Report
Jan 26, 9:30PM
A 32-page report into mass surveillance by a top European rights body has warned that digital dragnets set up by U.S. government intelligence agencies, and some of the U.S.’ allies in Europe and elsewhere, are endangering fundamental human rights — such as the right to privacy, to freedom of information and expression, to freedom of religion and the right to a fair trial.

Jan 26, 7:44PM
In my house, I have a small stockpile of shampoo and other health and beauty products that I’ve acquired for almost nothing, thanks to coupon stacking techniques that let you go into stores and walk out with vastly discounted products. I’m disappointed if I don’t save at least 50% of my grocery bill using coupons, if not more. But working the system to your advantage in this… Read MoreOftenType's iOS 8 Keyboard App Wants To Save You Some Taps

Jan 26, 7:00PM
First we went online to learn. Then we naturally started buying stuff. Smart retailers learned to target us based on our behavior. We searched and they reacted through PPC and display. Then folks like Amazon used purchase history data to get smart about predicting what else we’d buy (based primarily on other’s purchase data, not our own).
