Google On EU's Anti-Competitive Claims: "Concerns Are Unfounded"
Aug 27, 5:59PM
We’re a little over five years into the EU’s antitrust investigation of Google and today’s back and forth is about Google Shopping results. Back in April, Europe’s antitrust chief, Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said: Our preliminary view in the SO is that in its general Internet search results Google artificially favors its own comparison shopping service… Read MoreTechy Is An On-Demand Repair Service For Laptops
Aug 27, 5:46PM
While companies like iCracked have extensive repair networks allowing you to get a phone or tablet repaired in just hours, getting a laptop repaired normally requires making an appointment, dropping your device off, and eventually picking it up days later. Techy (a recent winner of our TC Radio pitch-off) solves this problem by providing an on-demand platform for laptop repairs.… Read MoreThe Next iPhone May Come With Animated Wallpapers
Aug 27, 5:43PM
It would appear that the next-gen iPhone may come with some added flare. Sources told 9to5mac that the UI for the iPhone 6S may come with animated wallpapers, not unlike the animated watch faces that shipped with the Apple Watch. Those sources said that animated wallpapers could include animated fish in a koi pond, as well as ‘colorful arrays of smoke.’ Given that most… Read MoreWorkflow Lets You Put Shortcuts To Frequent Actions Right In iOS's Notification Center
Aug 27, 5:04PM
Workflow, the clever if somewhat geeky app aimed at iOS power users that helps you automate frequent tasks you perform on your iPhone or tablet, like ordering an Uber to your next event, making a GIF from your photos, creating reminders that alert you when you arrive at a particular destination, playing a favorite album, and much more, is out this morning with a notable update. The app now… Read MoreInstagram Thinks Outside The Square, Now Allows Landscape And Portrait Photos And Videos
Aug 27, 5:00PM
One in five photos or videos on Instagram show up with annoying whitespace around them because people use other apps to letterbox their landscape or portrait imagery to fit in Instagram’s square cropping. So today, Instagram for iOS and Android is dropping the requirement that all photos and videos be squares. Now when users upload photos, they can pinch or tap a format button on the left… Read MoreHave You Tried Asking Siri To Give You A Hint?
Aug 27, 4:53PM
Hey Siri, give me a hint. Apple just invited journalists to its annual September press event. It’s happening on September 9th at 10am. But the best part of this invite is the attention to detail and Apple’s Easter eggs. Read MoreApple Invites Press To iPhone Event On September 9th
Aug 27, 4:23PM
“Hey Siri, give us a hint” is about all the hints we’re going to get on what’s coming up at the next Apple event. And of course some artwork that four people in a basement will comb over thousands of times for hidden messages. Some say new iPhones, new Apple TVs and both. No matter what gets announced, we now know for sure when and where the event will take place,… Read MoreHotelTonight Offers A 'Silicon Valley' Set Visit And TV-Themed Vacations In Partnership With HBO NOW

PayAnywhere Mobile Reader Hits Apple Stores in September
Aug 27, 4:04PM
It doesn’t happen that often, but once in a while I find myself in the wild without my wallet and really need to buy something. Because I absolutely never leave the house without my iPhone, I’ve gotten used to finding the nearest Walgreens, or Whole Foods, or Petco – or some other retailer that accepts Apple Pay – in order to buy what I need. And most of the time I… Read MoreGoogle Rolls Out Personalized Storm-Tracking Information In Search Results

Aug 27, 4:00PM
There are hungry makers, intent on building the next big thing. There are folks who have seen it all and are looking to be surprised. And there are the big fish looking to swallow the smaller fish – unless they get swallowed first. Those three days in September make up the entirety of TechCrunch Disrupt SF and to some the experience is an MBA in a box, three days of meetings, networking,… Read MoreIoT And The Rise Of Subscription Marketing
Aug 27, 4:00PM
The ties that bind consumers to brands are growing stronger. At the same time, however, they are fading into the background, thanks to the Internet of Things. Today, a slew of devices, from refrigerators to thermostats, are connecting to the Internet. Soon, the signals from those devices will automate thousands of purchases consumers make.

Aug 27, 4:00PM
In June of 2014, TechCrunch launched Include, a program designed to direct TechCrunch’s resources to improve diversity in the startup community. In year one, our approach was simple. The headliner was a $50k grant to support an organization making strides in line with Include’s mission.

Aug 27, 3:49PM
I can’t wait to see @alex crying tears of joy when Twitter finally releases a standalone Twitter DM app. This day hasn’t come yet, but it doesn’t mean that third-party developers aren’t already working on it. Meet Direct Messenger, an unofficial iOS messaging app for Twitter DM. This app packs a couple of nifty features, but also shows why we seriously need an… Read MoreWhy We Look
Aug 27, 3:49PM
We look because it’s there. We humans look towards violence in order to define it, to decide where we must run (or if we should stand and fight). We are fascinated by suffering. There is a cognitive bias towards the terrible. Many complain that there is not enough “happy” news. The problem is that there is happy news all around us, we just don’t notice. A baby smiling… Read MoreAmazon Adds Music And Water Controls To Echo As Part Of Alexa Fund Roll-Out

Aug 27, 3:00PM
Two-and-a-half years ago, Rose Broome had a moment that most San Franciscans are all too familiar with. She passed a homeless woman on the streets, but didn’t know what the best way to help her would be. Most people might brush that thought aside, but Broome didn’t. “People are frustrated and confused. Then people who are homeless feel invisible or they feel like people… 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.
