Alex Gibney's New Documentary Paints An Ambivalent Portrait Of Steve Jobs

Sep 06, 5:00PM

steve jobs Earlier this week, I joined a group of journalists to meet with director Alex Gibney and discuss his new film, Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine — and the first thing he did was put away his iPhone. It was no big deal, but the action took a little extra humor and weight since the documentary is all about our relationship with Jobs and the products he created. It opens with footage of… Read More



How The Rules Of Cyber Engagement Have Changed

Sep 06, 3:00PM

security-breach A series of recent breaches at United Airlines, Anthem and, most recently, Sabre Corp. and American Airlines are reportedly tied to state-sponsored cyber attackers. These attacks further highlight an important trend in the cybersecurity arena: Government entities are targeting corporations in addition to other governments, with far reaching implications.

iphone-6-6-plus-5s-side Apple is expected to unveil new iPhones at an event next Wednesday, and likely also new iPads and an updated Apple TV. Here’s a quick round-up of the tweaks Apple watchers are expecting this time around for the new iPhones… Read More



Not Just Another Discussion About Whether AI Is Going To Destroy Us

Sep 06, 11:05AM

Terminator-Salvation An AI roundtable discussion is a staple of the tech journalism circus — usually framed with a preamble about dystopic threats to human existence from the inexorable rise of ‘super intelligence machines’. Just add a movie still from The Terminator. Read More



The Hierarchy of IoT "Thing" Needs

Sep 06, 3:00AM

lego-robots I received a lot of feedback on an article I wrote a few months ago about changing the way we perceive the “Things” in the Internet of Things (IoT). The gist of my argument was that we should start treating these “Things” more like people — in the sense of thinking about them the way you would think about an employee hired to fulfill a specific function. Our… Read More



First Code's Michelle Sun Is Teaching Kids To Code In Hong Kong

Sep 06, 12:00AM

selected-2586 As the #ILookLikeAnEngineer hashtag continues to gain traction, you’ll be hearing more about geeks who break the stereotypes of what programmers should be like. One such example is Michelle Sun, the founder of First Code Academy, a company that teaches schoolchildren as young as 6 years old how to code. Read More



The Future Is African

Sep 05, 9:00PM

kigali This is a call to action for the dreamers of the world. Imagine being in a market where more people live in a high-speed mobile Internet zone than have electricity. The innovative thinking that has defined the world’s best entrepreneurs would be able to create services that don’t exist today that would empower these users. This world doesn’t need imagining — there are… Read More

Hands-On With Google's OnHub Router

Sep 05, 4:00PM

OnHub_–_Google But in reality, you often have to reset your router when your connections start dropping and woe to you if you ever have to actually change any settings. Despite their ubiquity, most routers still have dismal user interfaces. Enter Google. With the $200 OnHub router, Google wants to fix everything that’s wrong with modern routers — and for the most part, it does. After a few days… Read More



We're At The Beginning Of A Venture Capital Revolution

Sep 05, 3:00PM

moneygrowth Backers of startups worldwide are looking for the next “disruptive trend” that can overturn industries. Ironically, the venture capital industry has begun to resemble markets that investors themselves are looking to disrupt. Read More



The Interdependency Of Stanford And Silicon Valley

Sep 05, 12:00AM

stanforddish There was a time when Stanford University was considered a second-rate engineering school. It was the early 1940s, and the Department of Defense was pressed to assemble a top-secret team to understand and attack Germany’s radar system during World War II. It’s hard to imagine Stanford passed over as an innovation hub today — Stanford has outpaced some of the biggest Ivy… Read More

The Race To Frictionless Parking

Sep 04, 10:00PM

streetpark Parking. It’s an issue that impacts everyone who owns a car. People might not think about it or talk about it, but it certainly can be one of those daily frustrations that ignites stress. Traditionally, drivers will circle the block for a coveted on-street parking space or a parking garage that has an affordable hourly rate. However, there is more to parking than white lines, garages… Read More



Etsy's Pulling The Plug On Grand St. At The End Of This Month

Sep 04, 9:23PM

15278269465_8c6fd60c38_k When Etsy bought Grand St. last April, the plan was to let Grand St. continue to operate its maker marketplace for tech hardware. But that’s about to change. At the end of this month, Grand St. will stop processing orders and on October 1, listings on the site will become inactive. At that point, Grand St.’s site will just be a gallery of content and photos. That’s… Read More



A Few Thoughts On The BlackBerry-Good Technology Deal

Sep 04, 9:18PM

tech-ipo So much for that IPO, I suppose. Good Technology, a long-time IPO candidate with reams of public financial data, was snapped up by BlackBerry this morning for $425 million. You might think that the number isn’t too bad. It is: The company raised $291 million from investors. So its sale is nearly certainly a down-exit, compared to its late private valuations. Read More



The Stylus Still Rules The Galaxy Note 5

Sep 04, 8:10PM

IMG_5457 The concept Galaxy Note 5 is at once a thing of genius and a nod to a benighted world before the modern touchscreen. Born in the swamps of the resistive LCD, the stylus lurched onto dry land and lives on as a reminder of our history. It is, to be sure, useful but on the Galaxy Note 5 it is a vestigial tool useful in parts of the world where handwriting is easier than tapping. But what does… Read More

These Playing Cards Can Take A Bullet

Sep 04, 7:32PM

vMObO5 Playing cards, just like anything else, are ripe for disruption. I’ve purchased cards in airports, a CVS and the supermarket…but never online. That might change because of this Kickstarter. This is the biggest news since the Kevlar Pocket Square. If you ever wondered what you’d do if someone pulled a gun on you as you were playing poker, wonder no more. A group called… Read More



The Founder Of Firefox Wrote His Own Screenplay For HBO's Silicon Valley And It's Hilarious

Sep 04, 7:17PM

Screen Shot 2015-09-04 at 12.01.52 PM HBO’s Silicon Valley is a show pretty much based on an entire industry’s lack of self-awareness. Richard, Erlich and the rest of Pied Piper are always cringingly painful to watch as they thrive in a startup culture that is just so entertaining to dissect. The show just finished up its second season and the third doesn’t begin for another eight months. To most fans… Read More
