Industry Disruption Should Head Back To The Future
Feb 15, 4:00AM
It’s hard to believe that we’ve actually made it ‘back to the future’. In the 25 years since the second film in the Back to the Future trilogy came out, much of the director’s vision of the future has been borne out. And that fact holds some interesting lessons for entrepreneurs. Read MoreThe Anonymity Network At Risk
Feb 15, 2:00AM
You don’t have to watch NCIS to know that almost everything we do leaves some kind of trail or trace. Every click of the Internet and every post we make, email we send and file we download are all being tracked by someone somewhere. Unless, of course, it isn’t. There are many reasons a person would want to go incognito on the Internet, and those reasons run the gamut from reasonable… Read MoreListen Carefully
Feb 14, 11:00PM
There are lessons to be drawn from how people are talking about the technology services they are interacting with. Not just in general terms — whether they like or dislike a service and so on; but what more subtle linguistic signifiers might be expressing on their behalf. What reactions might be evident in language choice before those feelings are being consciously articulated as… Read MorePitching Digital Transformation
Feb 14, 10:00PM
Convincing business executives to wisely invest in digital transformation by advocating solutions around cloud, business intelligence, big data analytics, the Internet of Things — or even Everything — has proven to be counterproductive in too many cases. IT-focused people cherish these concepts because we feel that abstraction is needed to stress their vast potential. Read MoreUrgent.ly Is Uber For When Your Ride Breaks Down
Feb 14, 9:00PM
When you break down, the assumption is that you need help urgent.ly. That’s why Urgent.ly exists. This on-demand roadside assistance app aims to be the Uber of what happens if your car can’t be used as an Uber anymore. Founded by Chris Spanos, Surendra Goel, and Luke Kathol, the service allows you to pinpoint your location and request help. Spanos, who worked as a GM of Repair.com… Read MoreApplications For The Boston And Atlanta TC Pitch-Offs Close Monday
Feb 14, 7:00PM
We’re on our way to Atlanta and Boston in a few short days, and we’re ready to see the best that those tech communities have to offer. The world-famous TechCrunch Pitch-Off will hit Atlanta on February 24 and Boston on February 26, where select startups will have 60 seconds to pitch their product live on stage to a panel of judges, including TC writers and local VCs. Read More5G: Creativity Without Constraint Or A One-Size-Fits-All Future?
Feb 14, 4:00PM
The U.K. took the first significant step toward 5G mobile rollout last month when Ofcom, the telecoms regulator, started considering where it should fit on the airwaves. We will all notice the difference in 2020, when 5G is due to go live, because its goal is to give the impression of “infinite capacity” according to the University of Surrey’s 5G innovation center. Its speed,… Read MoreChina's Top Two Taxi-Hailing Services Confirm That They Will Merge
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 working on a car, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Mac maker kicked off a top-secret project to develop 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. The project involves research into… 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, 9:33PM
President Barack Obama asked for more collaboration and the open sharing of information between private-sector companies and the U.S. government at the White House Cybersecurity Summit at Stanford today. While pushing for that collaboration, he admitted it would be a challenge to both keep up with cyber threats and protect American’s right to privacy at the same time. “Protecting… Read MoreWith Treat's Shutdown, Shutterfly Exits The Mobile Greeting Card Business
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. The Treat application first launched back in April 2012, and later in the year arrived on mobile devices before getting an overhaul in 2013. The app allowed users to customize greeting cards… Read MoreAnnouncing TechCrunch's Blockbuster 2015 Events
