Bubble 2.0?
May 17, 1:00AM
Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen weighed in on the prospects of an equity bubble at a meeting with International Monetary Fund Director Christine Ladarde earlier this month. The danger warnings beat to the drums of Mark Cuban’s worse than 2000 prediction because the tech sector was singled out as the asset class with overinflated valuation. Read MoreBridging The Gap Through Quality STEM Initiatives
May 16, 9:00PM
too many students, especially those from underserved backgrounds, don’t have access to technology at home. And few schools, even ones in affluent communities, teach kids the skills they’ll need to get jobs in the technology sector. Fewer than 5 percent of all U.S. high schools, for example, offer AP computer science classes. Read More
Workflow Hints At The Future Of The Watch As A Computing Platform
May 16, 8:21PM
Workflow, an app originally built to let you automate frequent tasks on your iPhone or iPad, is one of the few apps available on the Apple Watch that seems like it’s only a few iterations from the form it will have when the Watch is an established platform. Read MoreGillmor Gang: Newspaper Taxis

May 16, 5:09PM
Changing the world. You do it every time you walk on a sidewalk kicking dirt (entropy!) and every time you join a startup in San Francisco. Many of the Valley’s top companies have had such broad cri de coeurs. Google’s mission is to “organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” Facebook’s is to “make the world more… Read MoreA Shared Future, A Global Economy Of Haves And Servants
May 16, 4:00PM
Many highflying companies are pushing logistics, services, and payment options to our new “sharing economy.” We see these firms and sectors as largely driven by macroeconomic trends. The American middle class is in steep decline. This has been true for 3-4 decades but accelerated rapidly after 2008. Read MoreWhy I'm Still Wearing My Apple Watch
May 16, 3:05PM
As TechCrunch’s resident watch nerd, I have been asked many times if I’m swapping my Omegas and Seikos and JLCs for the Apple Watch. And I have. I honestly have. I’ve worn the Apple Watch every day since I got it and I don’t know when I’m going to strap on a mechanical next. It’s the saddest thing in the world for me to say but, after years of calling each… Read MoreTencent Leads $750K Investment In Wound-Care Startup, Tissue Analytics
May 16, 3:00PM

Read MoreInfosys CEO On Mission To Transform His Company Into Design Thinkers
May 16, 1:05PM
What he means by that is thinking beyond the boundaries of the defined process to look for something new — to think more like a startup. Sikka says his first nine months have been amazing, but very different from his experience working at SAP for 11 years. The company handles many different tasks, and one thing that bothered him was that people only seemed to work to the specifications… Read MoreAfter Revolution 2.0
May 16, 1:00PM
Remember 2011? The Arab Spring, a.k.a. “Revolution 2.0″? Four governments were overthrown, and the stage was set for further social-media-fuelled protests: Brazil. Ukraine. Turkey. It seems awfully apparent, now, that Facebook and Twitter can serve as a potent catalyst of eruptions of revolutionary fervor– –and equally apparent that that isn’t nearly enough to… Read MoreUsing Technology To Humanize Finance
May 16, 10:00AM
“Banking is necessary – banks are not.” Bill Gates said this in 1994. It was a bold statement to make at the time, and one that some have associated with the start of a transformation in financial technology. Now, two decades later, we are seeing this revolution unfold before our eyes. Catalyzed in large part by the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, a new financial order… Read MoreWhy Every Enterprise Startup Needs A New York City Presence
May 16, 2:00AM
I recently wrote about The State of Enterprise Tech in NYC in order to showcase New York’s growing enterprise startup ecosystem. In highlighting the 70+ enterprise startups headquartered in the city, however, I left out the important and growing constituency of companies opening satellite offices inNew York with headquarters elsewhere. This faction of startups is reacting to the… Read MoreClinkle Implodes As Employees Quit In Protest Of CEO
May 16, 12:21AM
Seven employees quit the frequently mocked payment rewards startup Clinkle simultaneously today due to frustration with its 24-year-old CEO Lucas Duplan, according to multiple sources close to the company. Duplan, pictured above, is said to have withheld information from employees about acquisition talks with Apple that the team hoped would result in a sale. He’s believed to have… Read MoreCrunchWeek: Reddit Goes Nice, Facebook's Publishing Push, And Have You Heard Of Verizon?

May 15, 8:47PM
On this week’s AppleCast, we discuss the overblown reaction to the news (gasp!) that people might steal your Apple Watch.
