Oct 17, 7:00PM
The Internet of Things (IoT) has a remote control problem — devices are operating independently with no knowledge of each other’s existence. Even systems that are supposed to work together don’t do so easily. We need a digital age of enlightenment and openness to unleash the full potential of the IoT. This means standardizing cross-device and multi-platform communication,… Read MoreGhana's MEST Incubator To Launch Pan-African VC Fund, Expand Training Programs

Oct 17, 3:00PM
Economists tell us that the history of human labor is one of continually increasing specialization. As we progressed along the economic continuum from hunter-gatherer through agrarian and industrial and now into post-industrial economies, the labor force has become more fragmented, with workers having more and more specialized skill sets. Read MoreIs Uber The Root Of All Evil?
Oct 17, 1:00PM
It is a truth universally acknowledged, in the enlightened liberal semi-socialist California circles in which I often move, that Uber is evil. It is accepted as axiomatic that they exploit their drivers; they brazenly reject the rule of democratic law, while simultaneously kowtowing to authoritarian China; they use vicious and/or deceitful tactics; and they ignore the needs of the disabled.

Oct 17, 12:23AM
Silicon Valley blood-test technology startup Theranos has once again responded to allegations made by the Wall Street Journal over questionable test results.

Oct 16, 11:00PM
The 2014-15 school year was the first during which students of color outnumbered white students in America’s public schools.

Oct 16, 9:39PM
Your party enters a darkened room. Candles flicker in the gloom and something is glinting along the far wall. Your thief enters first. Her dwarvish blade begins to glow. Danger is nearby! What will you do? Will you 3D print a wall section and snap it to a floor section? Or will your move a 3D-printed Beholder into the room? What about a pillar or stairs? What about a little wooden door?… Read MoreCrunchWeek: WSJ Vs. Theranos, Square's IPO, And Twitter's 'Streamline'

It’s also one of the first bendable touchscreen displays with a kind of technology that, if… Read MoreThe Daily Dot Didn't Acquire Circa, But It Did Hire Circa's CTO
Oct 16, 9:32PM
If you were a fan of news startup Circa, you might remember that shortly before it shut down this summer, it was reportedly looking for a buyer and in talks with The Daily Dot. Well, it looks like those talks led somewhere — but not to an acquisition. Daily Dot co-founder Josh Jones-Dilworth said his company has hired “the core of the Circa tech team,” including co-founder… Read MoreBreaking The Barrier Of Humans And Machines
Oct 16, 9:00PM
My kitchen opens up to my family room, where right smack in the middle sits “Alexa,” an Amazon Echo device. It feels strange to call Alexa a device, because she has been chatting with my family and is building out her personality. As Amazon applies machine learning, Alexa will learn and develop her personality to fit in my home different from yours. Read MoreTwitter Shares Spike 4.85% In The Wake Of Ballmer's Stake
Oct 16, 8:32PM
Turns out the Ballmer Peak is real. Shares in Twitter spiked 4.85 percent today, closing at $31.15 per share. Trading above the $30 mark is an important psychological threshold for Twitter. Put another way, as $40 is to Microsoft, $30 is to Twitter. What happened? Former Microsoft CEO and current eccentric sports fan Steve Ballmer announced that he has acquired a 4 percent minority stake in… Read MoreAmazon Files Suit Against Individuals Offering Fake Product Reviews On Fiverr.com
Oct 16, 8:09PM
In April of this year, Amazon filed suit against the operators of websites that offered Amazon sellers the ability to purchase fake, four and five-star reviews of their products. Most of those websites have now been closed, and Amazon took action against the sellers involved. Now Amazon is continuing its crackdown on fake reviews by going after individuals who provide these sort of fake… Read MoreThe Surface Book Is Now Back In Stock (Sorta)
Oct 16, 7:31PM
After a period of being something akin to sold out, pre-orders are back online for Microsoft’s new Surface Book laptop-hybrid, but delays are the name of the game. It seems essentially clear at the moment that Microsoft either underestimated demand for the device, or simply couldn’t make more before it hit the unveil button. The Surface Book starts at $1,499, and has… Read MoreAlibaba Says Its Proposed $3.5B Youku Tudou Buyout Is All About Ads
Oct 16, 7:06PM
