On Managing Developers
Jun 06, 1:00PM
I’ve been a software developer, a novelist, a journalist, and a manager–and managing developers is easily the trickiest thing I’ve ever done. (Not the hardest. But the trickiest.) I don’t pretend to be an expert, or a great manager. But I can assure you I am someone who screwed up a lot along the road to being better. Here are some mistakes from which I have learned: Read MoreThe Year That Was And Will Be In Mobile Payments
Jun 06, 10:00AM
The many success and failures of mobile payments and related solutions witnessed so far brings home a very simple fact-one mobile-based financial solution will not cater to all markets. After all, how can it? The mobile finance space itself is so vast: you have payments, payment-related services and commerce. Read MoreA City View Of The Sharing Economy
Jun 06, 12:00AM
The sharing economy is growing and impacting cities. Collaborative consumption feeds into, and off of, desires for immediate gratification.

Jun 05, 8:44PM
HTC and Valve are playing catch-up a bit with Oculus in terms of getting their virtual reality headset out in the wild, but today they began shipping their developer hardware, which by all accounts is much further along than Oculus VR’s first kick at the can following their original Kickstarter campaign. The Valve/HTC Vive developer kit includes a Vive headset, along with two Lighthouse… Read MoreInboxVudu And The Uber That Got Away
Jun 05, 8:26PM
We hear a lot of startup origin stories here at TechCrunch, and sometimes they can blur together. But this one’s a little different. It’s about Ramesh Haridas, an entrepreneur and angel investor. He’s backed some successful startups, including Rapportive, which was acquired by LinkedIn. What Haridas told me about, however, was the one that got away — namely, Uber.

In select ZIP codes where Postmates operates, online shoppers will see a new delivery… Read MoreThis Week On The TechCrunch Bitcoin Podcast: Live In Tumbleweed City
Jun 05, 7:19PM
Hello, friends, and welcome back to another episode of TCBTC, TechCrunch’s bitcoin podcast.

Read MoreThis Week On The TC Gadgets Podcast: GoPro, Pebble Time, Amazon Fire, And WWDC!
Jun 05, 7:00PM
Matt is huddled in Vail, Colorado. Why? To hang out with GoPro, as they “throw stuff into pools and dogs chase after it.” But more seriously, GoPro is reportedly unveiling a service that allows you to record something on your GoPro and instantly view/share it on the cloud. Big deal. Meanwhile, we discuss the Pebble Time (Darrell just finished his review), which Mr. Etherington… Read MoreChronos Is A Little Disk That Ensmartens Your Dumb Watch
Jun 05, 6:32PM
Now that I’ve nearly abandoned my collection of watches thanks to the evil Apple Watch, I’m starting to miss the staid, steady ticking of a good mechanical. But how can I be endlessly bothered by a little electronic thing and still celebrate the artistry of the fine watchmaker? Chronos! Chronos is a little disk that fits on the bottom of your fancy watch with… Read MoreHere's What's Involved In Devising And Building An App
Jun 05, 6:15PM
Building an app isn’t just coming up with an idea and then coding (or finding someone to code it for you). There’s a lot involved in the end-to-end process that you wouldn’t necessarily think about when you’re idly dreaming about making one yourself. Developer David Smith, who created the much-loved Pedometer++, as well as Emoji++, Feed Wrangler and many more, has created… Read MoreWhat We Know From A Decade Of SaaS
Jun 05, 6:00PM
As the number of unicorns, those private companies valued at a billion dollars or more, has moved from a handful to a herd in Silicon Valley, many are left wondering just how arbitrary valuations have become. For founders in search of their next round of funding, trying to determine your company’s true market value in this new landscape is not only daunting, but can also be risky.

Jun 05, 5:45PM
The Apple WWDC 2015 keynote is just days away, so we discuss what you can expect to see at that special presentation. Basically it’s going to be a whole lotto iOS 9 and OS X 10.11, with a healthy heaping of Apple Watch and Watch OS thrown in. Beyond that, there are probably a few surprises in store. We go into detail about what we expect to see regarding Proactive, Home and HomeKit,… Read MoreAnnotation Service Genius Rolls Out An API With Instapaper As Its Debut Partner
Jun 05, 5:23PM
Online annotation platform Genius, which originally began as a way to mark up rap lyrics before expanding to support any page on the web, is now making its service – including its collection of annotations and musical metadata – available to third-party developers for use in their own applications. The first partner to take advantage of the new API is Betaworks, which… Read MoreNowThis Media Sees A Big Appetite For Short News Videos, With 200M Views In May

Online video news company NowThis Mediasays it has seen dramatic growth, going from 1 million video views a year ago, to 50 million earlier this year, to 200 million in May.

In fact, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Products Athan Stephanopoulos (who joined through… Read MoreStudents, Get Your Discounted Tickets To Disrupt SF

Jun 05, 4:29PM
PayPal this week caused an uproar when it rolled out an updated user agreement that added a clause that allowed the company to pester users with robocalls and text messages – not only to the number they provided PayPal, but also to other numbers PayPal is able to obtain. While PayPal at times may need to call or text you regarding account activity or to settle disputes, the new… Read MoreiHeartRadio Has Grown To 70M Registered Users
Jun 05, 4:07PM
