Read MoreIngenico Has A Square-style Dongle That Can Be Used For NFC Tech Like Apple Pay
Mar 02, 6:30AM
Payments is one of those chicken and egg scenarios. Consumers want to see a use case (participating merchants) before they adopt, yet merchants want to know that customers are actually using this stuff before they invest.

Read MoreMeerkat Is The Livestreaming App Twitter Should Have Built
Mar 02, 6:14AM
Everything’s more interesting if it’s happening right now. Jokes seem funnier when you hear them told in person. A dense political debate becomes captivating when watched live on TV. Real-time performances carry a peculiar vividness and urgency you can’t get from something that already happened, even if it was just minutes or even seconds ago. Dick Costolo should know this well. Read MoreXiaomi Introduces A GoPro-Style Action Camera That Costs Just $64

Mar 02, 2:53AM
This week the Internet lost it over a llama chase, Kanye apologizing, Madonna taking a tumble, and that damned dress – things that arguably do not actually matter that much. But there was one story that bubbled up in the midst of all this, highlighting the triviality of social media chatter: The death of Ajivit Roy, an outspoken Bangladeshi-American blogger. Despite a flood of death… Read MoreForget The Oscars, Last Weekend's Biggest Snub Was Comic-Con

Mar 01, 11:00PM
Four years ago, I participated in my first improv comedy class. In 2013, Mahmoud Arram and I co-founded Bluecore, a marketing technology company whereevery single employee is required to complete an improv 101 class within the first four months on the job. In terms of importance, this ranks right up there with required reading and sales training. But why? Read MoreBrazil Becomes A New Front In The Battle Between Baidu And Qihoo

Mar 01, 7:00PM
Apple has never led market share in worldwide phone sales. Ever. And yet, the iPhone has held the (according to flickr) title of world’s most popular camera for years.
