Yo Dawg, I Heard You Like Coaching, So Coach.Me Put Coaching In Your Coaching
Aug 07, 5:02PM
You don’t just wake up an expert on how to write a crappy headline, someone has to coach you. Thanks to Panz, you are now reading this gem. Coaching is a big business though and there’s a platform for it called Coach.me that’s been seeing some pickup as of late. It was founded by former Odeo engineer Tony Stubblebine and incubated by Obvious, Inc’s investment arm.… Read MoreYuck It Up, Humanity, Because VR Is Going To Make Things Really Weird
Aug 07, 4:19PM
The Internetogencia was all in a tizzy this week as it commented upon a cover photo from Time magazine extolling the simple joys of VR. The cover, if you haven’t seen it, features the disheveled founder of Oculus Rift, Palmer Luckey, who looked like a jolly baby as he bumbled around a virtual seashore. In short, it was WhiteGuysWearin’OculusRifts on the cover of a major news… Read MoreDrifter Is A Waterproof Speaker That Lets You Leave Your Smartphone Behind
Aug 07, 2:36PM
While a waterproof, buoyant speaker seems like a viable option for boaters, fishers, and generally wet sport enthusiasts, most of them are powered by Bluetooth, meaning that a very delicate and usually non-waterproof smartphone needs to be within close proximity. But the folks at Freedom Audio (formerly FreshETech) don’t believe that should be the case, and so they built the Drifter.… Read MoreiOS 9 Public Beta 3 Arrives With Support For AT&T Wi-Fi Calling, New Wallpapers, Wi-Fi Assist And More

For the first time, Apple this year allowed the public to participate in beta testing the forthcoming version of its new mobile operating system, iOS 9. And now, the company has pushed out the latest release, iOS 9 Public Beta 3. The update comes only only a few weeks after the Public Beta 2 build, which largely included bug fixes and speed enhancements. But this time around, beta testers… Read MoreGoogle Maps' "Night Mode" Feature Makes It Easier To Navigate In The Dark
Aug 07, 1:50PM
A new update to the Google Maps iOS application promises to make it easier to navigate when it’s dark outside, potentially reducing the risk associated with using the app while behind the wheel. (Not that you should be actively using the app while driving, but…admit it, you’re probably guilty of this.) In the latest release, the app has introduced a feature called… Read MoreCritical Flaw IDed In ZigBee Smart Home Devices
Aug 07, 1:02PM
Security researchers have identified a critical vulnerability in devices using ZigBee, a wireless standard used for connectivity in multiple Internet of Things and smart home devices — raising the specter of hackers breaking into your smart home and doing what they like with your connected locks, alarm system and even controlling your lightbulbs. Read MoreTen Questions Every Founder Should Ask Before Raising Venture Debt
Aug 07, 10:00AM
When financing a growing company,venture debt can be a great supplement to venture capital. Much has been written to help founders think through venture capital, but venture debtremains a bit of a black box. Read MoreAlibaba Launches English Version Of Anti-Counterfeiting Tool

Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has launched an English-language version of TaoProtect, one of its counterfeit reporting system.

The Boston- and Tokyo-based startup will form a strategic partnership with FIH Mobile, which provides manufacturing services for mobile device makers.

Aug 07, 1:00AM
It feels like every other day: Another company raises a massive round of funding. We tend to assume that a company that’s raising money must be doing well. However, the truth is that venture capital funds’ incentives drive them to fund companies that should have folded long ago. These “zombie companies” are money pits, ultimately shrinking the returns of entire funds… Read MoreApple.com, One Of The World's Biggest Stores, Gets A Redesign
Aug 06, 10:23PM
A redesign of Apple.com that went live today removed the standalone ‘Store’ tab, and the ‘store.apple.com’ domain entirely. This is an enormous change for one of the biggest online retail stores in the world. The buying experience is now woven into the site as a whole, with purchasing buttons and options for products available on every product page. Instead of browsing… Read MoreiOS 9 Will Know To Use Cell Data When The Wi-Fi Sucks
Aug 06, 10:12PM
iOS 9 finally kills off an endless source of frustration: getting stuck on Wi-Fi networks that are just strong enough to connect to but too weak to actually use. Read MoreTaking The Mystery Out Of SDKs With Open Source
Aug 06, 10:00PM
Mobile SDKs are, for most publishers, a necessary evil. Whether you’re trying to integrate analytics, cross-promotion, tracking, monetization or payments, your first step is most often to inject a third-party SDK into your codebase. This much-maligned piece of software drives developers, operations and marketers alike up the wall. Are SDKs quite the dirty word, though? Read MoreShould Software Companies Be Legally Liable For Security Breaches?
Aug 06, 8:58PM
It’s a truism that all software has bugs and security holes. It’s another that license agreements invariably make software vendors immune to liability for damage or losses caused by such flaws. But, to my surprise, Black Hat’s founder and keynote speaker are arguing that software product liability, presumably mandated by governments, is inevitable. If they’re right,… Read MoreNew Relic Posts Strong FQ1 Revenue, Beats On Profit And Guides Above Street Expectations
Aug 06, 8:46PM
New Relic reported its first quarter, fiscal 2016 performance today, including better-than-expected revenue, and lower-than-expected per-share loss. While the latter clause is correct, it’s worth noting that on either a normal (GAAP) and adjusted (non-GAAP) basis, New Relic lost more in its most recent quarter than it did in the comparable year-ago period. However, due to changes in… Read MoreNVIDIA Soars 9% After Beating On Profit And Revenue, Credits Growth In Its Gaming And Auto Tech Divisions

NVIDIA shares were up nearly 9 percent in after-hours trading following its announcement of a beat in FY 2016 Q2 earnings Thursday. The computer component manufacturer managed to exceed street expectations on revenue with $1.153 billion while posting non-GAAP earnings of $0.34 per share, up 13 percent from a year ago. Analysts had looked for Nvidia to generate $0.20 per-share profit on top line… Read MoreThe TechCrunch NYC Meetup + Pitch-Off Is Nigh!
Aug 06, 8:43PM
The TechCrunch Meetup + Pitch-off in NYC is kicking off in less than two weeks, and you know better than most that a party isn’t really a party unless you’re there. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The TechCrunch Meetup + Pitch-off is a very special event, one I favor over most everything else we do at TC, where folks from the local tech scene can come together and… Read MoreDid Virtual Reality Just Have Its Google Glass "Shower" Moment?
Aug 06, 8:31PM
If you followed the Google Glass saga, you remember that everything started out pretty hunky dory. There was an exciting demo that included people jumping out of a plane. Then there were developers in line to pay $1,500 to have a play with them and build apps for the hardware. It was a developer-only program. What could go wrong? The “shower incident.” That’s what.

Zynga’s daily active user numbers declined 23 percent year over year to 21 million, which were also down 15 percent quarter-over-quarter. Its monthly active users also fell 32 percent to 83 million, down 18 percent… Read MoreIf at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
