Technology Is Magic, Just Ask The Washington Post
Jul 25, 1:00PM
Most people don’t understand how technology works. When they flip a light switch, or tap their phone, what happens next is essentially magic to them. Oh, they may be able to handwave a bit about electrons and volts and microprocessors and radio waves and packet-switched networks, but they’re just mouthing the words. They don’t actually understand any of those things. Read MoreHow To Win The Day
Jul 25, 12:00PM
Hal Elrod was dead for six minutes. The car he was driving crashed head on into a truck. His girlfriend, sitting next to him, was unscratched. The roof of the car sliced open his head, causing brain damage. Bones in his face, his arm, all over his body were broken and he was in a coma for six days (during which time his girlfriend broke up with him). When he woke from his coma the doctors told… Read MoreWhy Amazon And Entrepreneurs Are Bullish On Mexico
Jul 25, 3:00AM
Imagine a country with 100 million mobile phones, but just 15 percent of residents have a credit card. A country where more than half of the population is under age 27, but less than half has Internet access. That, in a nutshell, underscores the opportunities and challenges for innovators and investors evaluating Mexico’s emerging innovation economy. Read MoreQualtrics, In The Billion-Dollar Club, But Still An Outsider
Jul 25, 12:06AM
Qualtrics, whose online survey research platforms help more than 8,000 enterprise customers better understand both their employees and their customers, is a little unusual for a lot of reasons. For starters, it’s based in Provo, Utah, a state that has attracted more than $1 billion in venture funding over the last 18 months yet remains far from Silicon Valley’s bustling tech scene. Read MoreTelevision-Maker Vizio Files For IPO
Jul 24, 11:22PM
Vizio Inc., maker of cheap TV sets and other electronics, filed a prospectus Friday with U.S. regulators to raise up to $172.5 million in an initial public offering of Class A common stock.

Jul 24, 9:55PM
After raising $150 million dollars and operating in secrecy for three years, Gogoro finally told the world what they’re building: a smart electric scooter and a charging infrastructure to go with it. Tomorrow, the first Gogoro smartscooters will ship out to pre-order customers living in the company’s first flagship city, Taipei. Read MoreIt's Time For "The Visual Internet"
Jul 24, 9:00PM
One of the amazing accomplishments of the smartphone is how it’s inspired us to take photos and share them — tons of them, with everyone. It’s estimated we have already taken more than a trillion photos in 2015. That would be more snapshots than have been taken in all of photographic history till now. We should be proud. But it isn’t enough to take a photo. We need to… Read MoreDoes Ringly Have A Place In An Apple Watch World?
Jul 24, 8:50PM
The first thing I thought when I opened my Ringly box was that it smelled. Bad. Like electronics that had caught on fire and were then put out in some sort of chemical bath. But the company told me that the ring I received (an early review unit sent to reporters) was part of a bad “beta batch.” More recently, they replaced it with another. It didn’t smell nearly as bad. Read MoreCrunchWeek: Jet's Launch, Amazon's Epic Earnings, And Uber v. NYC
Jul 24, 8:46PM
Hello compatriots, and welcome to another episode of CrunchWeek, TechCrunch’s weekly roundup show where we talk the biggest things in tech. This week we dig into Jet’s launch, just what it is, and why it wants to take on Amazon, big earnings from both Amazon and Apple, and, of course, the recent Uber drama in New York City. Read MoreJDate Is Suing JSwipe Over The Letter 'J', Here's What My Bubbie Would Have Said
Jul 24, 8:40PM
“Der oylam is a goylem.” It means “the world is stupid” in Yiddish. Today, Forbes unearthed a lawsuit from late last year that Jewish dating site JDate’s parent company filed against an app called JSwipe (also aimed at Jewish folk). It’s over the use of the letter J. The case is set to pick up again next month. Read MoreApplications For The NYC Pitch-Off Close Tomorrow!
Jul 24, 8:15PM
Attention New Yorkers! Applications for the NYC Meetup + Pitch-Off will be closing in 24 hours (ish) so if you’d like to pitch your company to the coolest judges in the land (TBA next week), you really shouldn’t waste another minute. Here’s the plan, Stans: Participants will be afforded exactly sixty seconds to pitch their product to a panel of kick-ass judges, to be followed… Read MoreFCC Approves $48.5 Billion AT&T-DirecTV Merger
Jul 24, 7:44PM

Nowlive, the technology powering the stream, lets users switch between different views from around the festival, or watch them all at once in grid views. The service… Read MoreThis Week On The TC Gadgets Podcast: iPhone Sales, Tesla 'Ludicrous Mode', And GoPro/Meerkat
Jul 24, 7:00PM
This week, Tesla introduced a new mode for the Model S called Ludicrous mode, which will take the car from 0 to 60mph in 2.8 seconds. Which is ludicrous. Meanwhile, Apple reported its Q3 2015 earnings, falling just under expectations for iPhone unit sales, though still growing the category by 35 percent YOY. Plus, GoPro announced a deal with Meerkat that will let users stream live from… Read MoreHow Amazon Could Drive Blended Reality Into The Living Room
Jul 24, 6:41PM
Amazon has been amassing computer vision expertise for a long time. And continues to do so. A LinkedIn search for computer vision jobs at the company currently returns more than 50 posts — mostly split across research and software engineering roles. But is there more than meets the eye to the ecommerce giant’s interest in technologies that can sense the world around them? Read MoreNASA Got Up Close And Personal With Pluto, The Data Blows Their Minds
Jul 24, 6:23PM
It might not be a planet anymore, but Pluto is fascinating. NASA is just scratching the surface after its Pluto “fly-by” on July 14th. It says that it’s retrieved just 5% of the data on the spacecraft, but has already learned new things and snapped some shots unlike anything we’ve seen before. Here’s an amazing farewell shot taken of Pluto, highlighting a… Read MoreChrysler's Solution To The Jeep Hack Is 1.4 Million USB Drives
Jul 24, 4:53PM
You’ve probably read the WIRED story “Hackers Remotely Kill a Jeep on the Highway—With Me in It” by now. Either way, it was scary as hell. Today, the company behind Jeep has finally taken action and announced that it’s “recalling” 1.4 million vehicles because of what happened with WIRED’s Andy Greenberg. It’s not your typical recall… Read MorePalantir Raises $450 Million, Now Valued At $20 Billion
Jul 24, 4:21PM
Palantir, the makers of a data analytics platform used by government agencies, law enforcement, as well as financial, insurance, retail and healthcare industries, has confirmed by way of an SEC filing that it has raised an additional $450 million in a new round of funding.

Jul 24, 4:00PM
Computer software and apps are our modern-day toys. Whether it’s a hot dating app or a system for planning molecules (a true story), interface designers must treat the process of creating a new app as if they were creating a new toy. I’m calling it “playification,” and I believe it’s a must-have tool for anyone in our industry.
