The Mayer-Sandberg Spectrum of Gender And Tech Politics
Mar 07, 2:26AM
Hello, readers. I was typing this to you from the back row of the Ellen Pao-Kleiner Perkins trial. (More on that later.) But isn’t it fascinating how wildly divergent the two leading women executives in tech are when it comes to thinking about gender in the industry? Let’s look at this week alone. On Monday, Medium’s Steven Levy published a wide-ranging profile on Yahoo… Read MoreThe Future Of Voice-Activated AI Sounds Awesome
Mar 07, 2:00AM
For decades science fiction movies have been imagining the future as one where humans talk to machines just as naturally as they speak to family and friends. In reality, however, using voice to interact with machines has been maddeningly frustrating, with Siri often mistaking “open up my email” for “look up some kale,” for example. This is changing. Increasingly the… Read MoreThe Impatient
Mar 06, 11:00PM
Scarcity is commonly defined as the problem of seemingly unlimited wants and needs in a world of limited resources. Money is scarce, power is scarce and fame is scarce, but most of all, time is scarce. And even more meaningful than all these prized assets—both concrete and ephemeral—is something much more basic and fundamental: health. And nowhere is scarcity felt more acutely than… Read MoreTC AppleCast 7: Apple Watch Event Preview
Mar 06, 10:53PM
It’s that time: The Apple Watch event happens Monday, and we’ll get answers to all our remaining burning questions about the wearable coming out of Cupertino. Based on our discussion, we’re very much still in the dark about how much these will cost, and just how much third-party software will be able to offer. Also, we discuss what else Apple might show off on stage, including… Read More15 TechCrunch Stories You Don't Want To Miss This Week
Mar 06, 10:49PM
This week was Mobile World Congress, so some of our staff was in Barcelona reporting on the latest from the mobile world. Meanwhile, we wrote about Tinder, pretty people, and a pricey new drone. These are our best stories from the week (2/28-3/6). Read MoreCrunchWeek: Etsy IPO, Tinder's Age-Based Pricing, Kleiner Perkins On Trial
Mar 06, 10:38PM
While we’d argue that every episode of CrunchWeek is special, today is an extra special show, because it’s the last one we’re having at the big white table. That’s right: Our little studio is finally getting an upgrade! For the next few weeks, TechCrunch’s video studio will be under construction for a fresh new look. We’ll continue to make CrunchWeek as… Read More
WhatsApp Says It's Not "Permanently" Banning Users >From Its Service, Just Blocking Third-Party Clients
Mar 06, 8:44PM
Quite a few reports circling the web this week appear to indicate a tightening of WhatsApp’s policy toward the usage of third-party WhatsApp client applications. That is, word has it that those using an unofficial app will be banned from WhatsApp for life. However, that’s not exactly the case, WhatsApp explains. In fact, there’s been no larger policy shift since we last… Read MoreThis Week On The TC Gadgets Podcast: MWC And The Future Of VR
Mar 06, 8:22PM
This week, John and friends ventured off into the land of Mobile World Congress to check out the latest and greatest that mobile has to offer. The Galaxy S6 was finally unveiled, but it was actually HTC that surprised us with a new VR headset preview. We veer off on various tangents throughout, so as usual, this podcast is a bit like a box of chocolates. We’re also trying out a… Read MoreOf Course Comcast Subscribers Can't Stream HBO Go On The PS4
Mar 06, 8:15PM
HBO Go finally hit the PS4 this week bringing the online streaming service to the best selling next-gen console. But of course it doesn’t work with Comcast. Why would it? HBO Go hit the PS3 last year and Comcast subscribers still can’t use the service. Comcast tells TechCrunch that their subscribers have many other ways to access HBO on other devices. A spokesperson points to the… Read MoreUS Marshals Sell The Last Of The Seized Silk Road Bitcoins
Mar 06, 8:12PM
US Marshals have sold the last batch of 50,000 seized Silk Road bitcoins at auction after a surprisingly quiet sealed bidding process. The USMS has not announced the name of the winner of the entire collection of bitcoin but VC Tim Draper has been quietly buying these seized coins for the past year. The auction marks the end of one of the oddest US auctions on record. When the Marshals… Read MorePhotobucket Raises $3.6 Million, Plans To Acquire A Mobile Photo-Sharing App
Mar 06, 8:00PM
Denver-based Photobucket, one of the web’s older brands which offers a photo and video-sharing service online and on mobile, has closed on $3.6 million in new funding, an SEC filing reveals and the company confirms. The additional capital is part of a larger, still-in-progress round, which sees the photo sharing service seeking around $8.1 million in new funding.

Mar 06, 7:52PM
As a seasoned self-published author with an excess of one book under my belt, I’ve been looking for new and interesting publishing tools for indie writers. Recently I found something called Publishizer, a crowdfunding system just for books. While I’m not entirely convinced it’s the way to go for new authors, it does seem like a compact and focused solution for getting your… Read MoreVenture Capital Firm Formation 8 Dropped From Sexual Assault Lawsuit
Mar 06, 7:40PM
Venture capital firm Formation 8 has been removed as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in January against tech entrepreneur and investor Joe Lonsdale from a former girlfriend alleging sexual assault, battery, and other charges. Lonsdale, who co-founded security and defense technology firm Palantir, is also a co-founder of Formation 8. He has vigorously denied all of Clougherty’s claims, and… Read More
The Apple Watch Is Time, Saved
Mar 06, 7:33PM
Over the course of investigating the Apple Watch, I’ve spoken to several sources who have spent extended time with it. There are a lot of interesting details, some of which we’ll get into. But, by far, the biggest recurring theme is how little you use your iPhone once you have one. After these discussions, it seems certain that the Apple Watch will shortly be the primary way you… Read MoreWith $45 Million In Funding, Augmented Reality Platform Blippar Is Rethinking Search
Mar 06, 7:25PM
Blippar, an augmented reality ad platform that uses real-world tags to deliver extra AR content in offline situations, has raised $45 million in new funding from undisclosed investors. This comes on the heels of a big 2014 for UK-based Blippar, wherein the company made its first acquisition by purchasing Layar in June. Combined, the merged companies boast over 50 million global users. But… Read MoreApple Watch Sounding More Independent In Latest Leak
Mar 06, 7:12PM
The Apple Watch will offer a lot more independent features than were previously announced, according to a new leak from the generally accurate 9to5Mac’s Mark Gurman. The wearable is set for an official unveiling Monday, but Gurman’s report highlights some heretofore unknown features from sources with hands-on experience, including longer continuous and mixed-use battery life,… Read MoregoFlow Surf App Launches 10 New Sports And Raises A Seed Round
Mar 06, 7:01PM
goFlow is an app for weather-driven sports like surfing, kiteboarding, skiing, and snowboarding, which gets its data from users uploading the conditions. Founded by Roni Eshel, a pro-surfer turned tech entrepreneur, it claims to have generated over 1 million surf reports worldwide in the last year. It’s now launched ‘goFlow Sports’ with 10 new sports activities including… Read More
What To Expect From The Apple Watch Event
Mar 06, 6:51PM
That’s because Apple officially introduced the Apple Watch to the world last September at its special iPhone event, even showing off working hardware (and letting journalists like us try on versions of the Watch running locked demo loops of its software). Monday will still offer plenty of surprises, however, so here’s a look at what we know, what we expect, and what we’d… Read MoreCorgi For Feedly Puts News Right On Your Android Phone's Lock Screen
Mar 06, 6:09PM
There are a growing number of startups taking advantage of Android’s flexibility to deliver content directly to the smartphone’s lock screen, enabling things like alerts, ads, and even messaging – without requiring users to first unlock their phone and launch an app. A new startup called Corgi, available now on Google Play’s store, is one of these new efforts, as it… Read MoreCanopy Labs Relaunches To Help Businesses Understand Their "Fuzzy" Customer Funnels
Mar 06, 4:39PM
Y Combinator-backed Canopy Labs has relaunched with the aim of giving businesses a detailed understanding of customer journey, i.e., where a customer is in the buying process. I last wrote about the startup back in 2012, when it raised $1.5 million in venture funding. For someone who doesn’t spend a lot of time looking at customer data (like me!), the vision from back then may not sound… 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.
