Sidechains And Lightning, The New New Bitcoin
Jun 13, 1:00PM
The great thing about Bitcoin, for a tech columnist like me, is that it’s simultaneously over-the-top cinematic and technically dense. Richard Branson recently hosted a “Blockchain Summit” at his private Caribbean island. There’s a Bitcoin Jet. At the same time, 2015 has seen the release of a whole slew of technically gnarly–and technically… Read MoreWhen Will European Fintech Startups Grow Up?
Jun 13, 6:00AM
Fintech is hot. It is the home of the fabled unicorn. There are now 36 fintech unicorns in the wild. This is up 25 from 11 over the last year. This staggering growth is a reflection of the hype around fintech, where a plethora of startups are using technology to compete against or collaborate with established financial players. The result is a dramatic increase in company valuations as… Read MoreCrunchWeek: Apple Makes Music, Oculus Aims For Mainstream, Twitter CEO Shakeup
Jun 13, 12:59AM
It’s Friday afternoon, and that means it’s time for CrunchWeek, the show that brings a few TechCrunch writers together to talk about the biggest stories from the past seven days in tech news. This time around I was joined by Matthew Lynley and Darrell Etherington to talk about the big takeaways from Apple’s WWDC conference (one of which was the launch of Apple Music,) the… Read MoreFacebook Now Cares About How Long You Look At Stuff In Your News Feed
Jun 12, 9:37PM
You probably don’t always like/share/comment on the stuff that pops up in your Facebook feed, even if it’s something you care to see. Take, for example, a breaking news items about an earthquake on the other side of the world — you’d probably feel weird hitting a button labeled “Like” on that one, and you might not have anything to say… but that… Read MoreFoundry Group Backs Fashion Inspiration Startup Looklist
Jun 12, 9:08PM
Looklist has raised a small seed round to build out its “inspiration engine” for fashion and hair. I know, I know, this sounds a bit like a bunch of other fashion startups, not to mention one of the main reasons people use Pinterest. But founder and CEO Shaz Sedighzadeh said there’s really no good place to find curated images and search through through them based on factors… Read MoreOculus App Store Will Require Pre-Approvals, Comfort Ratings, Tax
Jun 12, 8:49PM
Oculus doesn’t want to make you puke or scare you to death. So when its revamped app store launches for its consumer Rift headset shipping Q1 2016, it will review games and experiences for safety, CEO Brendan Iribe tells me. Yesterday Oculus held a press event where it unveiled the consumer Rift headset that will come with an Xbox controller and optical sensor, showed off some… Read MoreThe FTC Goes After Its First Failed Crowdfunding Campaign
Jun 12, 8:19PM
The Federal Trade Commission just posted some fascinating details regarding a settlement related to a failed crowdfunded project. The project, a board game called The Doom That Came to Atlantic City, raised $122,874 and failed to deliver. The creators, Lee Moyer and Keith Baker, had planned to manufacture and ship the Cthulhu-themed board game in 2013 but their manufacturer, Erik Chevalier… Read MoreGillmor Gang LIVE 06.12.15

Jun 12, 7:50PM
Shaquille O’Neal — former champion NBA center and businessman — was on a plane one day when someone was playing a slots game next to him. He liked the game so much he downloaded it, played it for four hours on a flight, and now has games made by them where he’s the star. Read MoreWelcome Connie Loizos To TechCrunch

TechCrunch thrives on change. And it’s a good thing that it does because we’ve seen plenty of it in recent weeks.

Jun 12, 7:00PM
Apple just announced brand new operating systems across all of its devices, from Macs to smartphones and tablets to the Apple Watch. Oh, and let’s not forget Apple Music. Darrell, unfortunately, was busy actually attending the rest of WWDC at the time we recorded this podcast. And I’m going to be honest with you guys, this is a rough podcast. But have fun with us as we groggily… Read MoreCatalia Health Gets $1.25 Million From Khosla Ventures For Its Healthcare Robot
Jun 12, 6:53PM
Catalia Health chief executive Cory Kidd has spent the past 20 years working on how to apply robotics to improve personal health. Now, nearly a year after launching his latest startup, Catalia Health, Kidd has closed on $1.25 million in seed funding from Khosla Ventures and other investors to bring his life’s work to market. Read MorePandora Is Out Of Tune With Songwriters
Jun 12, 6:30PM
I remain puzzled as to why Pandora has chosen to wage an expensive and exhaustive fight against the songwriters that form the very foundation of its business – in courts, in the media and even in the halls of Congress – rather than negotiate with them. It just doesn’t make long-term business sense. Read MoreA Brief History Of Deep Linking
Jun 12, 6:00PM
Deep linking has become one of the hottest topics in mobile over the past year as dozens of startups have launched around using, improving and discovering deep links. All of the big platform companies also have projects to own “the deep linking standard” or the search index for mobile. So, what are deep links and where did they come from? Read MoreYouTube Announces YouTube Gaming, A Standalone App To Compete With Twitch
Jun 12, 6:00PM
Today’s announcement of YouTube Gaming, a standalone app and site focused on video game related content, shows the company isn’t sitting idly by while outside forces steal attention away from its massive library of content. By building a product around a specific vertical, it can build an experience untarnished by the random viewing habits that can throw off its recommendation… Read MoreStar Wars Is Coming To VR
Jun 12, 5:43PM
Do you like Star Wars? Do you like virtual reality? The venn diagram of those two fan bases presumably has quite the overlap — and yet, there hasn’t been much official Star Wars VR stuff to date. That’s about to change. Read MoreFCC Tells PayPal It May Be In Violation Of Federal Law Regarding Robocalls
Jun 12, 5:27PM
The FCC has responded to concerns that PayPal’s updated user agreement, which gives the company the right to robocall and text customers, by informing PayPal that it may be in violation of federal law. One issue, according to the FCC, is that consenting to robocalls cannot be a condition of using PayPal’s service. In addition, customers must provide prior written consent… Read More12 TechCrunch Stories You Don't Want To Miss This Week

Jun 12, 4:49PM
“Let’s take a selfie in front of that window with the galaxy,” I say to an excitable robot that looks like Wall-E’s svelte girlfriend EVA. On the other end of the Internet from TechCrunch’s SF headquarters is Eric Romo. The CEO is also jacked into Altspace, the virtual reality chat room his startup built. Romo teleports over to my preferred spot by the… Read MoreKnotable's Note Instantly Is A One-Stop Dumping Ground For All Your Ideas
Jun 12, 3:24PM
Amol Sarva has been making cool things for most of the past decade.
