Reminder: Don't Retweet ISIS Or You Could Go To Jail
Sep 19, 7:19PM
According to a report by the NY Daily Times, the FBI considers your retweets to be endorsements…especially when it comes to chatter about the terrorist organization ISIS. It’s not the first time.

The free market of ideas has been unleashed in all its fury, just as we’ve unleashed the free market in everything else — leaving ordinary, unlucky people to bear the costs of our grand experiment. Read MoreHow To Be A VC Without Any Capital
Sep 19, 3:00PM
One of the most frequent questions I get as a VC is how to become a VC. Newly minted MBAs and startup veterans alike want to get into the investing game in increasingly large numbers. Unfortunately, there are so few VC jobs available in any given year it makes the prospect unlikely for most.

He later declared in the New York Times: “After our stores of oil and coal are exhausted the human race can receive unlimited power from the rays of the… Read MoreIt's Now Officially Sundar Pichai's Show At Google
Sep 19, 1:37AM
Welp, journalists got some inbox candy on a Friday from Google — an invite to an event on September 29. What will the event be about? Is it hardware? Has to be hardware! Is it software? Has to be software! Is it…yes. It has to be that, too. My point is that it doesn’t even matter what they launch: Google has had hundreds of product launches, and it will have hundreds more.

Sep 19, 1:00AM
As many have noted, we’re entering a new era where wearable gadgets — from watches and fitness bands to glasses and health aids — are at the forefront of the new technological revolution. A PricewaterhouseCooper’s report found that more than 20 percent of U.S. adults already own at least one wearable, and estimates that soon we’ll be using them at home and work… Read MoreYou're European, In A Tech Startup, In SF On Sunday?

Sep 18, 9:00PM
As Bill Gurley (General Partner at Benchmark Capital and board member of Uber) notes, Uber will be the dominant player in the ride-hailing business. Why? Because Uber’s business model is predicated on localized marketplaces of supply and demand for drivers. These localized marketplaces create strong network effects and “winner-take-most” markets.

Sep 18, 8:14PM
Pandora put radio on the Internet, but now startups like Spotify and giants like Apple are trying to knock it out of the three comma club.
