Tech's Role In Fighting Wildfires
Sep 13, 7:00PM
“Burn rates” are perennially on the minds of Silicon Valley VCs and entrepreneurs, but what about the very real burn rates that ravish the surrounding California countryside, as well as other areas each year? Currently there are five states that are each battling more than 10 major wildfires, with seven million acres burned so far. Big data is already being used to understand… Read MoreWatchOS 2 And The Future Of Apps
Sep 13, 3:00PM
With flashier announcements at this year’s WWDC, such as Apple Music or more hardcore developer news on the iOS 9 front, it’s easy to lose sight of a real game changer: watchOS 2, which is slated for release September 16. Would it be crazy to think this new OS could really make that big of an impact? Read MoreWho Invests In Hardware Startups?
Sep 13, 2:00AM

Sep 12, 11:00PM
When you connect a car to the Internet, it is no longer just a car: It is a computer on wheels. When a car can search Google, send tweets and be remotely accessed from a smartphone app, that car has more in common with your laptop than it does the Model T. Securing the next generation of connected automobiles means redefining what it means for a vehicle to be “road-ready.” The… Read MoreGillmor Gang: God Only Knows

Sep 12, 8:00PM
Fears over privacy are nothing new. As users began to see the sheer availability of information online, and the amount of personal data being seen and used by tech companies, they became rightly concerned over how much information would be available to companies and individuals, and how that information would be used. The increasing stream of news about the scope and intensity of… Read MoreBuilding Smart City Security
Sep 12, 6:00PM
As urbanization intensifies and public sector technology initiatives advance quickly, the once-futuristic promise of “smart cities” is coming to fruition. Cities have always been “smart” to a degree, using technology to boost the productivity and efficiency of municipal services. But today, the proliferation of digital connectivity and big data explosion are creating… Read MoreRas Labs Is Testing Futuristic Muscle Material That Could Make Robots Feel More Human
Sep 12, 4:35PM
Synthetics startup Ras Labs is working with the International Space Station to test “smart materials” that contract like living tissue. These “electroactive” materials can expand, contract and conform to our limbs just like human muscles when a current moves through them – and they could be used to make robots move and feel more human to the touch. Ras Labs… Read MoreFor Media And Gaming, Virtual Reality Is The Wolf Standing Just Outside The Door
Sep 12, 3:30PM
For the last 20 years VR has been just around the corner, but there have been three major hurdles in the way to mainstream adoption. Today, all three hurdles have been removed. It is no longer a case of crying wolf. The wolf is real, and standing just outside the door. Read MoreBlockTrail Launches Multi-Platform Bitcoin Wallet With No Access To Your Coins
Sep 12, 3:00PM
Does the Bitcoin community need another wallet? Amsterdam-based BlockTrail reckons there’s space for another player, despite some sizable and well-funded wallet entities already — such as Blockchain.info and Coinbase, to name two. Read MoreWhat We Talk About When We Talk About Ad Blocking
Sep 12, 2:00PM
So here’s an awkward question … How many of you are reading this article without ads? Don’t be shy if you are. You’re definitely not alone. You’ll be getting even more ad-blocking options with next week’s launch of iOS 9, which is supposed to support content blocking extensions. That could be a big step forward for the technology, which has been a… Read MoreSurviving The Technical Cambrian Explosion
Sep 12, 1:00PM
I’ve been doing a lot of recruiting lately. My employers HappyFunCorp are in the midst of another growth spurt. One of my most illuminating questions is: “What’s your strategy for keeping up-to-date with the Cambrian explosion of technical frameworks, languages, databases, templating systems, and so forth?” Everyone has a strategy — but nobody seems to feel… Read MoreTackling A $5.5 Trillion Market, Betterment Enters The 401(k) World
Sep 12, 12:32AM
Betterment, the New York-based automated asset management company, is announcing a 401(k) retirement service, called Betterment for Business, aimed to make it easier for employers to establish, administrators to manage, and employees to monitor retirement savings plans.

Sep 11, 11:42PM
Though Apple has long been vocal about its stance on security and privacy, it has recently begun utilizing that stance as a sales tool. If you’d like to keep personal data — anonymized or not — to yourself as much as possible, the company has messaged, then you should invest in Apple hardware.

Sep 11, 11:25PM
Once upon a time a startup sent me a full gasoline can full of coffee beans. These beans, once infused by the malodorous fumes of the plastic container, were useless. The can, which was fairly small, was never used and eventually recycled. In the end, a PR company probably charged a startup $10,000 to send me and about 200 other bloggers trash. The pitch was memorable in itself but I cannot… Read MoreCrunchWeek: Slack, Diversity, And Have You Heard Of Apple?
Sep 11, 10:06PM
Welcome back to CrunchWeek, friends. We are glad that you are here. Very glad in fact, because the TC crew has new digs. New in that we just rebuilt a large chunk of the office — not new in that it’s the same space as before. But now it’s better, so we dragooned Megan Rose Dickey and Lucas Matney to come in and chat about the week’s most important stories:… Read MoreWelcome To Hipster Hell, Tumblr Now Has Its Own Clothing Line
Sep 11, 9:49PM
If the pervasiveness of shitty memes on the web weren’t enough, it seems they’re soon going to be inhabiting the real world… worn by people walking on the streets of Earth. Tumblr just announced a new clothing line designed by 10 different Tumblr artists at New York Fashion Week, The New York Times reports. Read MoreRep A Cause With Facebook's New Temporary Profile Pics
Sep 11, 9:27PM
Your profile picture is the message you send most. There’s no easier, more ubiquitous way to raise awareness for a cause then splashing your pic rainbow for gay rights or green to promote the Arab Spring. Now Facebook is giving people a tool to leverage this tiny billboard. With its new Temporary Profile Picture feature that’s slated for a broader rollout, you can change your pic… Read MorePerformance Evaluations In A Results-Focused Culture
Sep 11, 9:00PM
Netflix’s culture deck has been a source of inspiration for many businesses since it was first published five years ago. In it, Netflix argues that companies must find a balance between flexibility and responsibility: Afford employees the freedom to thrive and they will reward the company with outstanding performance; emphasize purpose, honesty and good judgment to attract top-tier talent.

Sep 11, 8:50PM
Another day, another Tweetstorm by Chris Sacca about Twitter’s CEO situation. His tune is the same, with the volume turned up ever so slightly. Most importantly, the signal he’s sending out is very similar to an S.O.S. Since July 1st, Twitter’s interim CEO has been Jack Dorsey, and the chatter around who would be the next permanent CEO, succeeding Dick Costolo, has been nonstop.
