New U.K. Government Focuses On Startups And Spooks
May 10, 1:00AM
The U.K. voted in a General Election on Thursday. The result ends five years of coalition government, and ushers in five years of true blue Tory rule. Here’s a quick round up of a few of the tech issues and areas that are going to be in play over the course of this Parliament. Read MoreFacebook Development Through The Years
May 10, 12:00AM
At the recent F8 conference, listening to Mark Zuckerberg announce that FB Messenger was going to open up as another developer platform, as Facebook did back in 07, brought me back to a different time. In 07, Facebook was different. You could invite large masses of your friends to play all sorts of games and through the Platform, build a new breed of application. Facebook Platform in 07 was… Read MoreUber Is Looking For Another $1.5 Billion In Funding At A $50 Billion Valuation

May 09, 7:56PM
Mobile link sharing is a clumsy rigmarole of app switching and copy & pasting. So to get more people posting links, Facebook is testing an in-app keyword search engine that lets you find websites and articles to add to your status updates. Alongside buttons to add photos or locations, some iOS users are seeing a new “Add A Link” option. Just punch in a query, and Facebook will… Read MorePinterest Adds $186M To Series G Funding Round, Offers Secondary Sale To Employees

May 09, 6:00PM
The launch of the Apple Watch represents the latest proof point that we’re only going to have more devices to consider when designing mobile apps. Not only does it represent a huge opportunity for more personal experiences, but it presents user interface designers with the increasingly complex challenge of scaling themselves to design for Web, mobile, tablets and wearables.

May 09, 4:33PM

May 09, 3:00PM
Before I dive into the many ways that Peter Thiel gets the lean methodology as wrong as a glowing review of 50 Shades of Grey, let me say this: He is one incredibly savvy dude. Most of the time, Thiel undoubtedly deserves his confidence in his business intuition. Sometimes, however, he does not. His total, utter misunderstanding of Lean Startup methodology springs to mind.

May 09, 1:00PM
I write to you from Aqaba, Jordan, a town made famous when conquered by “Lawrence of Arabia” and Faisal al-Hashimi 99 years ago, at a confluence where today four nations divide a mere 25 miles of coastline. So I have travel much on my mind. And it seems to me that the influence of travel on technology has hit another inflection point, and traditional travel companies have much… Read MoreThis Week On The TechCrunch Bitcoin Podcast: The Winklevii Double Down On Bitcoin
May 08, 11:31PM
Hello dear friends, and welcome back to another episode of TCBTC, TechCrunch’s kinda-weekly bitcoin podcast. This time around the Skype booth, main host John Biggs and myself dug into the Winklevoss twins’ love of bitcoin, consumer interest in the cryptocurrency itself, and something technical that we probably got around half right. We apologize for the minor hiatus. It’s been… Read MoreCrunchWeek: Dollars, Beers, Oculus, And New York
May 08, 11:22PM
Hello from far-too-hot New York City, where Jonathan Shieber, Ingrid Lunden, and myself found a few chairs, a few beers, and a few topics to dig into as Disrupt came to a conclusion. This time around, we dealt with massive capital rounds, Oculus’ recent news, and this thing called New York City. There is more footage that followed this session, involving an increasingly large cadre… Read MoreSimCity Creator Will Wright's New App Wants To Create A Graphic Novel Of Your LIfe
May 08, 11:00PM
The creator of SimCity, Will Wright, has come out with a new app called THRED — and it isn’t a game. Instead, Wright describes it as a natively built way to browse “the World Wide Web” in a more pure sense. The THRED app is essentially a collection of pieces of content that range anywhere from games, photos, locations and such strung together in a thread in a cover… Read MoreTC AppleCast 14: Apple Watch, Bands And Streaming Music Service
May 08, 8:41PM
This week we’re happy to have survived TechCrunch Disrupt NY 2015 intact, so we talked a bit about how the Apple Watch seemed to make that process a lot easier to handle. The device lets you focus on what’s happening around you, without missing things that aren’t, which is pretty much ideal for conference-going. We also discuss the ‘Made for Apple Watch’… Read MoreMobile Sales Startup Immediately Raises $2M

Immediately, a startup building mobile tools for salespeople, is announcing that it has raised $2 million in funding.

As a group, Storm is known for its work with SaaS-focused companies. Its own Jason Lemkin, the other guest in the above segment, is something of a Bay Area uncle for SaaS, in that he has a habit… Read MoreSamsung Gear VR For Galaxy S6 Now On Sale For $200
