Sep 17, 7:00PM
Uber would not be a reliable service if it didn’t implement surge pricing. Well, at least that’s what Uber is suggesting in its recent case study on surge pricing. Surge pricing is an increase of fare that kicks in when there’s a high demand of Uber ride requests, but not a lot of drivers on the road. “We found that, without surge pricing, Uber is not really Uber… Read MoreApttus CEO Kirk Krappe Talks Growing Pains And IPO Plans At Dreamforce

In the midst of the chaos of the Dreamforce conference floor, we interviewed Apttus CEO Kirk Krappe at the company’s booth today.

Sep 17, 5:57PM
Now that we can see that the custom emojis on Twitter are an ad unit, there are a few more interesting things to point out about the campaign with Coke.

Sep 17, 5:20PM
One of the better features in this week’s newly released version of Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS 9, is the ability for users to block ads on mobile websites, along with other content that can slow down browsing and eat away at mobile data plans. And while somewhat of a geekier feature to implement – users have to download apps then head into iOS’… Read MoreiOS 9 Hits 12% Adoption After Just 24 Hours
Sep 17, 5:00PM
According to analytics firm Mixpanel, iOS 9 is making its way into the mainstream with the quickness, even though there were some early download troubles for some. The company tells us that iOS 9 is nearing 12 percent adoption less than 24 hours after it was released into the wild, which is faster growth than iOS 8, says Mixpanel’s CEO Suhail Doshi. I suspect that some of this had to do… Read MoreUniting The CEO And The Board
Sep 17, 5:00PM
Cat people and dog people. East Coasters and West Coasters. Capitalists and communists. They all look at the world so differently. Now consider venture capital board members and CEOs. Sure, they all have the same goal: to ensure that the company succeeds. Yet this dynamic can be adversarial, sometimes even hostile. And it really doesn’t have to be that way, even in the worst of times. I… Read MoreGoogle Is Now Surfacing The World's Constitutions In Its Search Results

Sep 17, 4:15PM
iPad gaming accessory Osmo announced on Thursday the launch of a Numbers game it hopes will revamp the unimaginative worksheets educators use to teach math now. Numbers is an under-the-sea themed game where players have to come up with equations that equal a given integer using physical tiles. If they are successful, a trapped fish is freed from a bubble. Though children increasingly have… Read MorePlume Air Report Is A Weather Forecasting App For Urban Air Pollution
Sep 17, 4:00PM
It’s easy to resign yourself to accepting pollution.

Plume Labs has developed a free iOS and Android app to do just that. Plume Air Report tells you if it’s safe to run, bike, go out with your children or… Read MoreFacebook Introduces Signal To Help Journalists Source And Discover Social Content
Sep 17, 4:00PM

Sep 17, 3:33PM
This morning IBM introduced a new tool called IBM Cloud Security Enforcer, whose purpose as you might guess is helping IT to root out unauthorized cloud apps inside organizations. The use of cloud apps outside of IT’s purview has sometimes called Shadow IT because the cloud enables users to provision their own tools. This tends to make IT admins a bit crazy, knowing that people are… Read MoreBiometrics Company Tascent Raises $18.5M Series A Round

Sep 17, 3:28PM
Last night, at a StrictlyVC event in San Francisco, startup investor Chamath Palihapitiya of Social + Capital had some harsh words for what’s become the standard startup set-up in San Francisco: the nice office, the well-stocked kitchen, and (inserting our own personal observation here), the increasingly ubiquitous bookcase door that leads to a secret room. All that window dressing… Read MoreBraintree To Break $50B In Payment Volume In 2015, Now Has 154M Cards On File
