“It’s so intense. This city feels like New York now,” Ken Feldman said right as we sat down for coffee in the Mission.

We understand that the Internet of Things is going to be big. As employees and consumers, we will be able to make decisions based on more accurate data.

Feb 17, 11:06PM
This week, we have a rare opportunity to just plain unleash on a device: The Neptune Duo, which puts all the smartphone smarts inside an Android-powered smartwatch, then makes the screen in your pocket essentially a dumb receiver. It’s backwards and bad, and we find we’re mostly in agreement on that point. In other news, LG has another Android Wear device coming to market, making… Read MoreThe Theory Of Intersectionality Can Make Cybersecurity Collaboration Real
Feb 17, 11:01PM
Government outreach efforts often talk about collaboration and working together but usually in a vague, aspirational, kumbaya kind of way. However, for cybersecurity the need for collaboration is pragmatic and pressing. Read MoreData Will Save Music
Feb 17, 11:00PM
The writing is on the wall. The music industry is dying. Nobody buys music. It’s the Wild West. The last one might be true. But the rest? Not exactly. In the Wild West the winner of the shootout was always the one who was armed the best and able to take the best shot. Nowadays, artists and executives need to have that same kill or be killed attitude. It’s time to upgrade the arsenal.

Feb 17, 9:26PM
You can say anything on Yik Yak, as long as it’s not a competing app’s name. The anonymous app has quietly built a system that downvotes any mentions of several other apps for college kids including Fade, Sneek, and Unseen until no one can see them. By adding one downvote per minute, Yik Yak makes it look like other anonymous users dislike these posts. But tests in isolation… Read MoreHulu Replaces Its Queue With "Watchlist," A Smarter, More Personalized View Of Your Favorite Shows

In fact, Kickstarter says that the… Read MoreOral-B's Bluetooth Toothbrush Offers App Features It Doesn't Necessarily Need
Feb 17, 6:53PM
I once posted a lament sparked by the availability of Bluetooth smart toothbrushes, so of course it was only logical for me to review Oral B’s new Bluetooth 4.0-enabled smart toothbrush.
