Mar 08, 3:55AM
It’s just four days in and Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1, the electronic device that can become almost any instrument you want it to be has already surpassed its Kickstarter goal by almost $250,000. The Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1 allows you to play hundreds of instruments on one device in a number of different ways using an iPhone as the controller. Not only can you play piano, violin, guitar… Read MoreThe Evolution Of The Browser
Mar 08, 2:00AM
The browser wars have always been cyclical, moving from periods of monoculture dominated by one or two browsers to periods of comparative competition characterized by multiple, strong, second-tier browsers and a growing list of niche browsers. We’re midway through the latter, as is evident by the release of several new browsers, including Microsoft’s Project Spartan and Vivaldi,… Read MoreA Product Roadmap For Up-And-Coming VCs
Mar 07, 10:00PM
Earlier this year, I had the good fortune of becoming the youngest partner to date at Bain Capital Ventures. (BCV). There’s a lot of work ahead to make sure I make the most of that opportunity and so I find myself reflecting on the personal “product roadmap” that got me here and the “features” I want to double-down on. Perhaps these ideas can be a helpful… Read More
The Time Is Now To Go All In On 'Moonshot' Medicine
Mar 07, 7:00PM
Precision medicine is becoming one of the hot button health innovation topics of 2015. President Obama even introduced a new precision medicine initiative in his January State of the Union address and scores of new startups are launching to help personalize every aspect of our health. An opinion editorial (depressingly titled “Moonshot’ Medicine Will Let Us Down) ran in the NYT… Read MoreGillmor Gang: Hold the Phone
Mar 07, 6:00PM
The Gillmor Gang — Dan Farber, John Taschek, Kevin Marks, Keith Teare, and Steve Gillmor. Topics include the growing anticipation and detailed leaks about Apple’s March 9 Watch event. Battery life, a locked notification hub, how the Watch will deliver Apple Pay to the wrist, and social signals of wristwear. Plus, G3 on disappearing voicemail, Hillary’s Gmail, and taking… Read MoreThe Global Broadband Adoption Gap Needs Greater Attention
Mar 07, 4:00PM
While development organizations, nonprofit groups and some of our largest technology companies push for a global Internet, a tale of two cities highlights the difficulties inherent in getting a population to use services intended for their development (even if they’re free). The divergent paths of broadband adoption in Stockholm and New York highlight just how difficult getting local… Read MoreThe Doomed Quest For The Golden Key
Mar 07, 2:00PM
Some months ago, the Washington Post waded into the debate about the NSA, pervasive surveillance, and end-to-end encryption with a call for Apple and Google to magically “invent a kind of secure golden key they would retain and use only when a court has approved a search warrant.” This was met with a chorus of contempt and opprobrium. Read MoreThe 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
