Feb 05, 11:37PM
Scientists have it rough. Not only do they have to protect us from giant monsters from another dimension (see Pacific Rim, Cloverfield) but they also have to create reproducible experiments and techniques in the lab. That’s where ZappyLab comes in. TC Radio Pitch-off winner ZappyLab, and their first product, Protocols.io, aim to help researchers build and share experimental… Read MoreThe Psychology Of Notifications
Feb 05, 11:00PM
In his famed experiments, Ivan Pavlov trained his dogs to associate mealtime with the ring of a bell. Pavlov found he could elicit an involuntary physical response in his dogs with a simple jingle. Every time his bell rang, the dogs began to salivate. Today, the beeps, buzzes, rings, flags, pushes and pings blasting from our phones prompt a similar response. They are the Pavlovian bell of the… Read MoreRadioShack Files For Bankruptcy
Feb 05, 10:45PM
And there it is; the death knell we all knew would ring out eventually. RadioShack has officially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Feb 05, 10:25PM
Twitter’s user count grew a measly 1.4% this quarter, down from 4.8% in Q3 2014, but CFO Anthony Noto said things are turning around.

Feb 05, 10:22PM
2007 Apple was the very embodiment of secrecy. If you didn’t have an Apple employee badge, you probably had no idea what was coming next. Unless you’re a Senator from Illinois with damned good odds of becoming the President of the United States, that is. Then you get to play with an iPhone before the rest of the world.
