Feb 25, 10:03PM
Sometimes when a company reports in-line earnings, its stock price takes a knuckle to the temple. Other times, if a firm meets market expectations, it gets a nice pop in value. Enter Salesforce the Latter. Today after the bell, Salesforce reported $1.44 billion in fourth quarter revenue, and adjusted earnings per share of $0.14. Both were dead in-line with market expectations. The… Read MoreThe New Razer Blade Is The Gaming Laptop To Beat
Feb 25, 10:00PM
Earlier this month, Razer launched the second generation of its ultra-high-resolution gaming laptop, the Blade.

Like its predecessor, this year’s Razer Blade packs in a 14-inch, 3200 x 1800 pixel screen. It looks pretty from most angles and can get quite bright, and has… Read MoreNostalgia Overload: Toejam And Earl's Creator Is Kickstarting A Sequel

Feb 25, 8:58PM
It’s net neutrality eve, putting both Washington and Silicon Valley on collective edge. To some extent. In service to you, I awoke early this morning so that I could tune into a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing on the issue of net neutrality. However, the discourse was so dull, containing as far as I could tell the precise same talking points that have become rote through… Read MoreY Combinator-Backed Bright Aims To Bring Solar Power To Mexico

Amazon’s stumble into mobile with the Fire Phone was widely and savagely derided by the tech press, and when it comes to its latest gadget, the Echo, the only way to describe the reaction is “meh-spicious.” My fellow TechCruncher Greg Kumparak wagged a finger at Amazon for providing us with yet another unnecessary way to give them our money, and others in the tech media… Read MoreTwitter Finally Launches An Official WordPress Plug-In
Feb 25, 8:06PM
