Google Announces Plan To Put Wi-Fi In 400 Train Stations Across India
Sep 27, 7:32PM
Today, Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai shared details on a new plan to bring more Indian residents online. He notes that there’s still over a billion of them in his native country that aren’t connected. The key? India’s train system. And a plan to bring Wi-Fi to its 10 million rail passengers a day. And it’s free (to start). We’d like to help get these next… Read MoreMedvedev To Hold A Google Hangout On Russia's Tech Future
Sep 27, 7:17PM
It’s been five years since Russia began its huge project to literally carve out its own version of Silicon Valley in a huge technology park, being built just outside of Moscow. The project, dubbed Skolkovo, will create a 400-hectare site for up to 30,000 workers and has a budget extending to $15 billion through to 2020. But right now much of it remains a building site and… Read MoreThe Future Of Coding Is Here, And It Threatens To Wipe Out Everything In Its Path
Sep 27, 7:00PM
APIs — the rules governing how software programs interact with each other — not user interfaces, will upend software for years to come. When Intel CEO Brian Krzanich doubled down on the Internet of Things at the company’s annual Developer Forum in August, he emphasized what many of us have already known — the dawn of a new era in software engineering. Read MoreUse Tinder Or Grindr? This Billboard Suggests Getting Tested For An STD
Sep 27, 6:43PM
I’d like to point out that there is no scientific evidence saying that just using the apps Tinder or Grindr will cause an STD. However, what happens after using those apps as partially intended may. The site FreeSTDCheck.org and AIDS Health Foundation is leveraging the popularity of these dating apps to get the word out about getting yourself checked out for a sexually transmitted disease.

Sep 27, 6:00PM
Despite a miserable macro-economic mix of circumstances, including the worst recession in almost 100 years, the biggest corruption scandal Brazil has ever seen, and calls for President Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment, Brazil’s tech industry is thriving.

Sep 27, 5:22PM
Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Mark Zuckerberg that social media can show governments where they’re going wrong, and allow heads of state to connect more personably than ever before. During a townhall Q&A at Facebook’s Menlo Park headquarters, the two leaders talked about the modernization of India and discussed topics from the 40,000 questions and comments submitted by… Read MoreCoding In The Cloud Era Demands A Structural Rethink To Bake In Security And Privacy
Sep 27, 4:42PM
Protecting privacy in an age of big data, cloud processing and increasingly interconnected digital services demands a structural shift in how software is developed. Read MoreUsing The Blockchain To Fight Crime And Save Lives
Sep 27, 3:00PM
Blockchain technology has been described as email for money, but it has the potential to be so much more. Blockchain technology is a hyper-secure record of digital events that is distributed among many different computers. Blockchain technology is best known for its connection to the cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. It’s what enables transactions to happen without middlemen or a central body,… Read MoreAugmented Reality Has An Image Problem
Sep 27, 2:00AM
To date, Augmented Reality has been referred to as “the biggest technological advancement of our lifetime,” a mere “gimmick” or, worst yet, the next iteration of the QR code. The divisive term was introduced more than 25 years ago, but if there’s one thing AR proponents and its naysayers can agree on, it’s the simple fact that AR, as we know it today, has… Read MoreDesigning Next-Gen Virtual Reality Gaming Experiences
Sep 26, 10:00PM
It wasn’t until I conquered my first dungeon in The Legend of Zelda at my friend’s house that I decided to throw a convincing tantrum at my parents about why I also desperately needed my own Nintendo Entertainment System. Fast forward a few years and the global gaming market is expected to rake in $86.1 billion in revenue in 2016. Driving this projection is the expected quick… Read MoreTurntable.fm Clone Plug.dj May Shut Down By The End Of The Month
Sep 26, 9:35PM
Remember the hotness that was Turntable.fm? It was a one of my favorite apps of a few years ago (2011 to be specific), since it was social and focused on music. For those who aren’t familiar with it, you’d have a little avatar that entered themed rooms where you could chat and you’d take turns being the DJ…playing your favorite music. Unfortunately, it shut down… Read More3D Touch Is Apple's New Secret Weapon
Sep 26, 9:03PM
I’m here to praise Apple again. Sorry. I have to do it. It’s not in my contract nor am I paid to do it – imagine if we were! We’d be rich! – but after manhandling the iPhone 6S Plus it’s abundantly clear that Apple has discovered another breakthrough. And they are surprisingly nonchalant about it. Apple’s first interface breakthrough happened when… Read MoreA Closer Look At European Investing
Sep 26, 7:00PM
We’re bullish on Europe, and that strikes some folks in the U.S. as a bit strange. It’s not that Europe is all we know — we’re an investor in early venture stage funds (an “LP”) in the US, Europe and Israel. Our portfolio skews towards the U.S.; and within the U.S., to the Bay Area. Over the last 18 months or so, we’ve been crossing and re-crossing… Read MoreLyft Moves Customer Support Team To Nashville To Combat High-Priced SF Market
Sep 26, 5:54PM
Peer-to-peer ride-sharing startup Lyft informed 20 members of its San Francisco-based customer support team this week it will be relocating them to Nashville, Tennessee.

It was a big week in tech, including everything from Disrupt SF 2015, the launch of the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus and a big Oculus announcement. But before we get into the top stories of this week, a quick recap of Disrupt.

The Firesign Theatre A conversation with David Ossman and Philip Proctor The two surviving members of the Firesign Theatre took to Skype to remember their late colleagues Phil Austin and Peter Bergman. The group’s final show was in 2011, and Peter Bergman died in 2012. Phil Austin died June 18 at his home on Fox Island, Washington; he was 74.

Sep 26, 3:00PM
Intuit recently released an eye-opening new survey reporting that there are currently 3.2 million American workers who participate in the on-demand economy. By 2020, it’s estimated that there will be almost 8 million of these on-demand workers. Many (including Intuit) praise this on-demand movement as supporting a “new class of entrepreneur,” giving workers the tools they need… Read MoreI Like To Block It Block It

And lo, on the day of the ninth release, the Lord Cook did cry ‘havoc!’ and let slip the dogs of flamewars, and permitted ad blockers in iOS; and there was much rejoicing, and much wailing and gnashing of teeth, because freaking everyone had a strong opinion on the subject. Who would have thought that the chattering classes had so much passion in them? Read MoreGlobalize, Don't Localize: Three Ways To Properly Ignore Boundaries
Sep 26, 3:00AM
A hipster in New York is not that different from a hipster in Bangalore. Ten years ago, this would not have been the case. Our marketing textbooks tell us that the highest classes of society in any given region have similar tastes and habits, but that habits then start to disseminate based on surroundings. Today, with Internet access expanding to the far corners of the world, those tastes… Read MoreIt's Time To Embrace, Not Fear, Shadow IT

At this very moment, the IT department at a typical enterprise is staring at a mind-numbing list of IT project requests from employees and business units — ranging from building a custom mobile app for warehouse operations to integrating Salesforce.com with back-end office systems. To manage this endless to-do list, the IT department logically arranges requests by how significantly… 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.
