Google Brings Street View To Mount Everest Region
Mar 12, 7:01AM
Most of us will never travel to the Khumbu region of Nepal, which is home to Mount Everest, but thanks to Google’s Street View, you can now get a better idea of what this part of the world looks like (and some Far Cry 4 players will find it looks quite familiar to them). Street View is probably the wrong name for Google’s latest effort here. It’s more like… Read MoreAlibaba, Prince Alwaleed Go In On Snapchat's $500M Round

Mar 12, 5:03AM
Getting stuff from point A to point B should be straightforward.

Mar 12, 12:04AM
Box reported earnings today for the first time as a public company. In the wake of the news, the company’s shares dropped sharply, and are currently down in after-hours trading down a sharp 13.10 percent. So did Box have a bad quarter? Not in the way that was originally reported by the media, your humble servant included. Read MoreThe Guardian Publishes A Pretty Amazing Whisper "Clarification"
Mar 11, 11:51PM
The Guardian, the British newspaper that published a series of articles last fall (starting with this one) about anonymous social media app Whisper, issued a “clarification” today about those stories. The Guardian post gets pretty nitpicky and specific, to the extent that it’s tough to parse if (like me) you haven’t read those stories recently. But here’s the… Read MoreThe Pax 2 Improves Upon One Of The Best Vaporizers On The Market
Mar 11, 11:20PM
The newest version of the Pax vaporizer takes all the best parts of the original — the sleek design, the brushed metal finish, the easy-to-use, push-button interface — and improves upon them.

Mar 11, 10:10PM
I’ve been using Periscope for about five months. I would run into the team almost daily at a coffee shop, and since we were both in pre-launch building mode, watching their team grow as they built their product was inspiring. It was Wednesday, January 28, when I saw exactly what Periscope would mean for Twitter users. I had decided to take an old college friend and his father to dinner… Read MoreThe Internet Is Flat, Now What?
Mar 11, 10:00PM
The Internet is getting very flat, very quickly, and traditional roles in its economy have already been thrown into flux. As Internet use in developing countries has grown, so has Internet entrepreneurship, with India, China, South America and Africa already hatching their own behemoth startups. Alibaba – though particularly massive – is hardly the only example. Read MoreTC Droidcast Episode 41: Our USB-C Fantasy Future
Mar 11, 8:40PM
Google has updated its ambitious Chromebook Pixel, with longer all-day battery life and a lower price tag, but the USB-C ports for charging and I/O are what have us most excited on this week’s Droidcast. They lead us into a fantasist discussion of what might come via future use of the tech across smartphones, smartwatches and other devices, and you can join us on this wild ride. The… Read MoreBox Drops 15% Despite Reporting Stronger Than Expected Q4 Revenue Growth
Mar 11, 8:15PM
Update: Box’s shares have recovered somewhat, and are now down around 10 percent, instead of 15 percent. The chart, however, remains rough: Today following the cessation of normal trading, Box announced its fiscal fourth-quarter financial performance, including revenue of $62.6 million, and an operating loss of $45.8 million on a GAAP basis, and $32.2 million using adjusted metrics.… Read MoreThe Gold Apple Watch Is Perfect For Douchebags

Mar 11, 8:00PM

And now it has mobile apps that will make it even easier for you to manage calls you’re scheduled to make. Read MoreWith $29M In Funding, Memebox Brings Korean Beauty Products To The World
Mar 11, 8:00PM
For many people around the world, their exposure to Korean pop culture is still limited to the aural and visual wonders of Psy’s “Gangnam Style” video. In much of Asia, however, the demand for Korean entertainment and products is so strong that it even has a special term in Chinese and Japanese that means the “Korean Wave.” Beauty products are a breakout export… Read MoreGreenhouse Rakes In $13.6M B From Benchmark To Save You From Recruiting Hell
Mar 11, 6:53PM
Hiring is the No. 1 thing founders waste their time on. Not because it’s not important. Bad hires can be toxic. But because it’s inefficient. Sourcing, interviewing and selecting candidates is tough enough, and most recruiting tools can’t tell you where you’re burning time or money. Yet Greenhouse can. After its 450 customers, including Evernote, Zenefits, and Venmo,… Read MoreMeetings Are Usually Terrible, But YC-Backed WorkLife Aims To Change That
Mar 11, 6:51PM
I’m guessing you have been in a meeting that made you hate your life. You know, where one or two people drone on and on, half of the attendees seem to be talking past each other, and at the end no one’s sure what’s been decided or who’s responsible for doing what. Well, a startup called WorkLife has built tools designed to make meetings better.
