Feb 14, 4:07AM
The spirit of Saint Valentine’s Day is in full effect in China’s taxi app space today after the country’s two biggest players — Kuaidi Dache and Didi Dache — confirmed that they will merge. Read MoreMobile Unicorns Multiply To Hit A Quarter Of A Trillion Dollars
Feb 14, 12:00AM
Back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth (in late 2013), there were 38 tech unicorns worth over $130 billion. Mobile Internet has changed things in the last 12 months. A lot. Sixty-eight mobile unicorns added $28 billion shareholder value in Q4 2014 to become worth $261 billion. Or a quarter of a trillion dollars. That’s excluding Facebook (64 percent mobile revenue, 59 percent mobile… Read MoreTC AppleCast 4: The Apple Car, iOS 9 And Photos For OS X
Feb 13, 11:42PM
Apple could be building a car, apparently, so naturally we had to talk about that. It seems likely Apple would want to anticipate a future where cars fall within a tech company’s purview, so in that regard it isn’t surprising. But Apple working on something doesn’t always equal Apple shipping something, no matter how much we may wish it were true. We also cover Photos, which… Read MoreCrunchWeek: President Obama In Silicon Valley, Tesla's Earnings Miss, Facebook After Death
Feb 13, 11:29PM
There’s definitely a feeling of love in the air. You could say that’s because the weather is unseasonably warm in San Francisco just in time for the weekend, or because Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. But I’d argue that it’s because it’s time for another episode of CrunchWeek, the show that brings a few of us TechCrunchers together in the… Read MoreApple Has Hundreds Working On An Electric Car Design, Says WSJ
Feb 13, 11:28PM
Apple is indeed working on a car, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Mac maker kicked off a top-secret project tasked with developing an electric car with a minivan aesthetic, per the WSJ’s sources, after CEO Tim Cook approved the project nearly a year ago. It includes “hundreds” of staffers and is led by Ford Motor vet and Apple VP Steve Zadesky, and it includes… Read MoreZillow Reports Record Q4 Earnings, Will Complete Trulia Acquisition Next Week
Feb 13, 10:31PM
Zillow today announced record earnings with revenue of $92.3 million — up 58 percent year-over-year, for a non-GAAP EPS of $0.24. Basic and diluted GAAP EPS came in at a loss of $0.27 per share, mostly due to acquisition-related costs. Analysts expected revenue to come in around $90 million and earnings per share of around $0.28. Despite those mixed results, the stock is up more than… Read MoreSnapchat Tries Our Stories For Locals Only
Feb 13, 10:16PM
Snapchat’s newest feature could turn Our Stories into hip, visual back channels by locals for locals only. The company is currently experimenting with a version of its normally public, big event Our Stories that feature Snaps from a certain location that can only be seen by people nearby. Today it’s running one called “TGIF” that only pulls in Snaps from, and shows them… Read MoreAugust Capital Raises $450 Million For Its Seventh Fund, August VII
Feb 13, 10:00PM
August Capital said today it has closed on $450 million for its latest venture capital fund, called August VII. The new raise represents a downsizing of sorts for the 20-year-old Sand Hill Road firm. In 2012 August Capital raised $550 million for its sixth fund, August VI, and prior to that in 2009 raised $650 million for its fifth fund, August V. In a blog post today, August Capital… Read More15 TechCrunch Stories You Don't Want To Miss This Week

Feb 13, 8:11PM
Shutterfly, the publishing company that operates a number of online and mobile brands associated with personal photo printing, is now shutting down Treat, its online and mobile greeting card service.

Feb 13, 7:21PM
Apple CEO Tim Cook spoke at the White House summit on cybersecurity and personal privacy today, where he announced that Apple Pay will be available starting in September as a payment method for U.S. federal government services. To start, it’ll roll out for things like admission to national parks, with plans to also make it function with services like Social Security and… Read MoreWhy It Makes Perfect Sense For Apple To Invest In The Future Of The Car
Feb 13, 7:09PM
While at first the rumors seemed far-fetched, a new report from the Financial Times lends serious credibility to the idea that Apple is working in earnest on car-related technologies beyond just CarPlay. Dashboard software may be part of its automotive designs, but the FT claims that Apple is on a headhunt for employees with experience in car design and vehicle engineering, rather than just… Read MoreWatch President Obama Talk Cybersecurity In Silicon Valley

Feb 13, 6:00PM
In the midst of the lowest oil prices our nation has seen in 6 years, it is easy to forget that the primary energy source in the world is in finite supply. Fracking and extraction from shale have enhanced the potential amount of obtainable oil (and America’s total reserves have the potential to be the highest in the world), but these means are still limited by the Earth’s reserves.… Read MoreMozilla's Shumway Flash Replacement Now Plays Amazon.com Videos
Feb 13, 5:59PM
Shumway is Mozilla’s attempt at creating a drop-in Flash player replacement for Firefox based on open standards (and not its attempt at creating a furry, cat-eating alien). The project started in 2012 and has long been included in Mozilla’s experimental Nightly builds of Firefox. For the most part, though, even Nightly users would never really encounter it.
