The centers — which will use wind power and other green fuel sources — will be located… Read MoreGemalto Claims Its Products Are 'Secure' In Response To Reported NSA Hack

You’ve probably heard that the FAA proposed its rules for commercial drones last weekend. There’s some good and some bad in those rules. The good thing is that drone startups finally know what kind of rules they will operate under once they are codified in the next year or so. The bad: many of the most interesting use cases for drones, including drone delivery, will be… Read MoreLG Reveals Four Mid-Range Smartphones For Those On A Tight Budget
Feb 23, 4:58AM
LG had a good 2014, posting record quarterly shipments and doubling its annual profits.

Feb 23, 2:00AM
It’s become increasingly common for early-stage entrepreneurs to “lead their own rounds” via the use of convertible notes. In cases where they set financing terms themselves, they often set a high valuation cap and sign initial angel investors onto those terms rather than waiting for VCs to join. While this sounds like it’s good for founders, it can actually harm… Read MoreFunnely Builds Smarter Facebook Ad Campaigns For Online Stores
Feb 22, 11:00PM
If you run an e-commerce business, Facebook can be a big opportunity for making sales and finding new customers — in fact, the company just announced new ad units for this very purpose. But if you need a little more handholding, there’s a startup called Funnely that might help. Funnely was created by a team based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and that’s where the… Read MoreFogo's Modular Flashlight Launches On Kickstarter

Feb 22, 9:00PM
Although the Super Bowl is still “king” when it comes to TV ad space, annual award shows like the Oscars and the Grammys are also very attractive to advertisers. For the recent Grammy Awards, 30-second commercials went for $1 million apiece, while half-minute ads for this year’s Oscar telecast are selling for $1.9 million.

Feb 22, 8:35PM
We’ve still got nearly two weeks to go before HTC officially unveils their new top-tier Android phone at Mobile World Congress, but it looks like the details have already started dumping out. Read MoreTC Is Coming To The ATL This Week!
Feb 22, 8:06PM
Atlanta was one of the first cities in which we held a TechCrunch Meetup. Back then, we didn’t have quite as much structure. It was called the “Southeast Mini Meetup Tour”. There was no pitch-off. No program. Back then, Matt looked like this: But, despite the odds, the fine folks of Atlanta pulled together to give us one of the best events we’ve ever had. We held it… Read MoreHow Technology Is Tricking You Into Tipping More

My taxi pulled up to the hotel. I got out my credit card and prepared to pay for the ride. The journey was pleasant enough but little did I know I was about to encounter a bit of psychological trickery designed to get me to pay more for the lift.

Feb 22, 1:50PM
Twitter is two things. It is a concept — everyone in the world connected in real time — that’s so obvious in retrospect that it is impossible to imagine it not existing. It is also a product that has had a rough time living up to that concept. Much of its battles have had to do with convincing the market that it’s a sustainable business, as well as a usable product… Read MoreRestaurant 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, 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, 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 MoreIf at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
