Restaurant Tech Restocked For Tomorrow And Beyond
Feb 22, 2:00AM
A recent article in TechCrunch characterized nascent upstarts in the restaurant industry as wide-eyed idealists with little reality of the harsh, high-touch operating environment in which they operate. Having worked in the tech, food and health worlds for most of my career, I believe the article misrepresented the significant progress being made across the industry. On almost every front… Read MoreSocial Location App FacesIn Pivots To Future Whereabouts
Feb 21, 11:00PM
Social location app FacesIn has relaunched with a new focus on delivering location-based alerts about where someone will be soon — not just where they are right now. Read MoreFour Pitfalls Hollywood Must Avoid To Keep Up With The Kardashians On Mobile
Feb 21, 9:00PM
When Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, the world was immediately changed forever and the web gave way to apps as the leading way people absorbed content. As with most emerging mediums, Hollywood was one of the first forces to take notice of mobile and tap its potential to reach fans. Unfortunately, a lot of these attempts have historically ranged from confusing to ridiculous. Read MoreWall Street-Backed Symphony Wants To Revolutionize Financial Services Communication
Feb 21, 8:08PM
The company’s backers include a who’s who of Wall Street financial companies: Bank of America Merrill Lynch, BNY Mellon, BlackRock, Citadel, Citi, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Jefferies, JPMorgan, Maverick, Morgan Stanley, Nomura and Wells Fargo. Last fall, these companies contributed $66M to finance Symphony, and using that money, purchased Perzo, a… Read MoreProtect Your Smartphone From Government Spies With These Apps
Feb 21, 7:37PM
If you didn’t know how easy it was for hackers to grab information off of your smartphone before, you should now. The Intercept reported earlier this week that the National Security Agency (NSA) and the British equivalent spy agency GCHQ had allegedly hacked into and stole information from millions of SIM cards produced by the Dutch company Gemalto. This may have given both agencies… Read MoreA Rant About The Smartest Thing Yahoo's Done In Years
Feb 21, 6:14PM
I call it a “PlAdform Strategy”. By dangling a free development platform for building better apps, top ad sellers can lure in developers who then buy their app install ads. Facebook did it with Parse and Audience Network to create its “Build-Grow-Monetize” loop. Twitter did it with Crashlytics and MoPub to launch its Fabric development platform. Now after years of… Read MoreGillmor Gang: Notification Trust
Feb 21, 6:03PM
The Gillmor Gang — John Borthwick, Kevin Marks, Keith Teare, and Steve Gillmor. Topics include notifications hitting mainstream, notification startups (Slack), notification creep, and notification envy (Microsoft). For some reason, I’m thinking Telly Savalas with a lollipop. Notifications — who loves ya baby? Plus, the latest G3 below on media crunch and social fatigue. Read MoreThe Untapped $140 Trillion Innovation For Jobs Market
Feb 21, 4:00PM
It’s a popular sport nowadays, discussing if tech is going to kill or create jobs. The answer is simple, if you ask me. If we care more about tasks than about people, then tech will replace people. If we care more about people than about tasks, then tech will leverage people. Think about it this way: I work in your company, I wash the dishes. You buy a dishwashing machine. You can either… Read MoreThe Bitcoin Jet, Or, How Does Cryptocurrency Go Mainstream?
Feb 21, 2:00PM
DIGITAL CURRENCIES ACCEPTED HERE proclaims the plaque at my local froyo place, emblazoned with the Bitcoin logo: but when I ask how I would pay with Bitcoin, the Australian woman behind the counter shrugs and says, “I think we have a tablet somewhere with instructions on the back? …Nobody’s ever tried to pay me with it.” Read MorePostmates Picks Up $35M In Series C From Spark Capital
Feb 21, 3:02AM
Postmates, the on-demand delivery service that operates in nearly 60 markets, has raised $35 million in Series C exclusively from existing investor Spark Capital, according to sources familiar with the matter. Postmates is a service that lets users order anything from local stores and have it delivered directly to their home for a small delivery fee. Read MoreLenovo Releases Tool To Remove The Sketchy Exploitable "SuperFish" Garbage It Pre-Loaded On Laptops
Feb 21, 1:17AM
Earlier this week, word spread that Lenovo had been pre-installing sketchy adware called “SuperFish” onto many of its Windows PCs. Then researchers started finding nasty vulnerabilities in the software. By this morning, the US Department of Homeland Security was urging Lenovo laptop owners to dump the software ASAP. Now Lenovo has released an automated removal tool, along with… Read MoreThe Net Neutrality Quiet Period
Feb 21, 12:54AM
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is currently in its weeklong ‘sunshine’ period before its February 26 meeting that will see the agency vote on new net neutrality regulations. The sunshine period means that the FCC takes time from taking external meetings on the topics it is going to vote on. Also, missives sent to the FCC during the period do not make it into the… Read MoreCrunchWeek: YikYak Vs. Spam, VCs Funding Coffee, Big Steps For Science Tech
Feb 21, 12:40AM
Another week in tech has come and gone, bringing a fresh crop of stories for us to talk about on CrunchWeek, the show that brings a few TechCrunch writers together to talk about some of the most interesting news of the past seven days. This time, Sarah Buhr, Josh Constine and I gathered around the big white table to talk about Josh’s big story on YikYak’s controversial methods… Read MoreTC AppleCast 5: That Crazy Apple Car Maybe Isn't So Crazy
Feb 21, 12:07AM
Apple has spent the whole week in the news because of a car it might be making, so that’s a real thing that happened. We discuss how the rumor went from airy tales to something quite solid, including a possible timeline for launch in 2020. Just what might an Apple Car actually look like, and why would the company even bother to make one? We don’t know for certain, but we… Read MoreThe New Rules Of Going Public
Feb 20, 11:49PM
According to a recent report, Twilio wants to go public. Twilio, a company that provides software-based communications tools for developers, closed out 2014 on a $100 million annual run rate. Or, put another way, Twilio brought in just over $8 million in top line last December. Box, New Relic and Hortonworks each recently proved that the IPO window is open and that investors have an appetite… Read MoreRoundme Raises $3M To Turn Panoramic Photos Into Virtual Tours

Round.me, which allows users to explore global locations through panoramic photos, has raised a $3 million round led by April Capital. The app is available on both the web and iOS. It allows you to browse different Spaces, which are basically panoramic images of locations like a Taoist temple in the Philippines and an ice cave in Vermont (to pick two examples from Roundme’s front page).… Read MoreSoftware Eats Sex Trafficking: YC's Rescue Forensics Aids Law Enforcement In Finding Victims
