Tesla Motors did not confirm that number.… Read MoreFiberead Helps Foreign Authors Break Into China's E-Book Market

China’s book publishing market is worth about $20 billion and e-books are a fast-growing segment, but it’s difficult for foreign authors to gain a foothold.

Mar 09, 1:00AM
The FCC recently voted to reclassify high-speed Internet service under Title II of the Telecommunications Act. This effectively treats the Internet as a public service. In a simplistic sense, this enables the FCC to regulate in such a manner as to prevent the paid prioritization or the blocking of content – issues linked to the public advocacy of net neutrality. While the fundamental… Read MoreSelling A Wearable Apple
Mar 08, 10:39PM
“Oh, Apple’s making a luxury watch thing, of course it hired the CEO of Burberry to pitch it.” That’s the common line of thinking when it comes to how Apple will change its retail operations to sell the watch. But I think that’s shortsighted, and ignores several realities about Apple then and now — and whether Apple is actually a luxury retailer. The Apple… Read MoreSmule CEO Jeff Smith Is Weirdly Optimistic About The Music Industry
Mar 08, 10:36PM
“I think this is one of the most exciting times to be in the music business.” That’s not a sentiment I hear very often, but it’s what Smule CEO Jeff Smith told me this week.

Mar 08, 6:00PM
Gender diversity statistics in technology are depressingly, familiarly, terrible. Top tech companies have an average of ~70 percent male workforce, with board and c-suite diversity in the single digits. Venture capital funding is similarly grim with only 6 percent of funds employing female funders, down from 10 percent in 1999. One marked shift from the last dot-com boom however, is the rise… Read MoreThe Business Of Privacy On Show At MWC
