Apr 21, 9:46AM
The 3D printed future is looking increasingly cartoonish if this crowdfunder for one-piece flexible nylon eyewear is making a prescient design call.

Apr 21, 4:01AM
I’m always excited when an experienced team from the consumer mobile world crosses over into a complex and formidable area like healthcare or biotech. With Color Genomics, we’re getting just that. Elad Gil and Othman Laraki, who sold Mixer Labs to Twitter six years ago and went on to oversee search, geo and growth for the company, have joined forces again to do affordable… Read MoreIt's Too Soon To Judge Satya Nadella
Apr 20, 11:56PM
It’s very early days for Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and for the company’s overhaul from a 1990s PC company to a service and cloud company. And it’s too soon to say he’s successfully helped his company make that transition. Perhaps the key test is yet to come with the release of Windows 10 and whether Microsoft can finally make some headway in mobile. Read MoreGoogle Brings Street View To Loch Ness
Apr 20, 11:01PM
Exactly 81 years ago today, the Daily Mail printed what is now the most famous photo of the Loch Ness Monster. To celebrate this special day in cryptozoology, Google today launched its Street View imagery of the famous lake. You can now use Street View to explore both the surface of the 23-mile-long loch and see some underwater imagery, too. Read MoreGot A Team Distributed All Over The World? Teleport's Tool, Flock, Finds You A Meeting Hub
Apr 20, 10:43PM
The thesis behind Teleport, a new Andreessen Horowitz-backed startup from a group of early Skype alums, is that workers should be free to migrate to whichever city and country suits them best. They’ve been slowly building out a suite of tools that help digital workers figure out where they can maximize their take-home pay after accounting for costs like housing and… Read MoreClear Deletes Dumb Tweets Before You Regret Them
Apr 20, 9:49PM
Most of us have embarrassing stories about things we’ve shared on social media, but it’s hard to top Ethan Czahor’s. He was hired as Jeb Bush’s chief technology officer, but shortly after he got the job, journalists uncovered some old offensive tweets and he had to resign. Now Czahor is back in the tech world with an iOS app called Clear that could help people in… Read MoreIBM Reports Higher-Than-Expected Q1 Profit, But Revenue Of $19.6B Disappoints
Apr 20, 9:45PM
Following the cessation of regular trading this afternoon, IBM reported its first-quarter financial performance.

Apr 20, 9:00PM
Ever since Uber launched to enable users to hail a ride with a mobile app, any number of on-demand and same-day delivery services have emerged. In most cases, those companies end up building out their own logistics infrastructure and hiring their own delivery drivers. But why keep reinventing the wheel if the delivery and routing part of the service isn’t a part of your core competency? Read MoreBitcoin Vs. Wall Street: A Love-Hate Story
Apr 20, 9:00PM
For the first few years, there was no response from Wall Street. The Wall Street Journal didn’t mention bitcoin until a blog post in June 2011. As the bitcoin community waited, advocates and enthusiasts speculated as to why America’s financial strongholds weren’t talking about the digital currency. Did banks not take bitcoin seriously enough to acknowledge it or feel… Read MoreDisney's Lab Builds Buttons That Work By Manipulating Soundwaves Rather Than Electricity
Apr 20, 8:54PM
I’m a fan of Disney’s research labs. Meant largely to help Disney discover new ways to innovate in their parks and products, it’s a seemingly endless stream of crazy thinking. Much of what they build and share is really, really cool, but hard to imagine being used by anyone outside of Disney. This crazy robot that draws massive pictures on the beach? It’s cool as heck,… Read MorePitch Your Startup In The TechCrunch Radio Pitch-Off On Sirius XM

Apr 20, 7:07PM

Apr 20, 5:25PM
Berlin-based startup edgee reckons it’s spotted a vacant space in the crowded social media parking lot for a new digital content format designed to sit between the expertise and effort of writing a blog post, and the brevity and flightiness of a tweet.

Apr 20, 5:07PM
Twitter has for years tested a feature that would allow anyone to opt in to receive direct messages from other users on its platform, even if the accounts weren’t following each other as per earlier requirements. This setting was rolled out more broadly to a portion of Twitter’s user base in 2013, but never became an option for the general public. That changes today, says… Read MoreAmazon's AWS Quietly Acquired NoSQL Database Migration Startup Amiato In May 2014
