Gmail, We Need To Talk
Nov 10, 9:00PM
Dear Gmail: Two years ago, you launched an ambitious endeavor with Schema.org to bring a new level of richness to email. Schema.org allowed senders to embed rich meta data in email that allowed any modern email client, not just Gmail, to present actionable items within email. It felt like Gmail was taking the lead in email innovation. Read MoreT-Mobile Stops Counting Netflix, HBO, Hulu, And Other Video Streams Against Your Data Usage
Nov 10, 8:29PM
Watching Netflix on your phone is a great way to blast through some spare time — but it’s also a great way to blast through your monthly allotment of data in no time flat. T-Mobile is using this as a competitive advantage. From this Sunday on, T-Mobile will no longer count Netflix (and a few other video services) against your data plan. T-Mobile calls the new feature… Read MoreHotelTonight Cuts 20 Percent Of Its Workforce

Nov 10, 8:01PM
Reflected in our glazed-over eyes, pretty images dance with ads in between. If that sounds like television, you’ll understand why marketers are so excited about Instagram’s coming of age. Two years after Instagram first introduced ads, it’s ready to get very serious about earning money off its 400 million users. And that means making it easy for advertisers to move their… Read MoreFacebook "Live" Tries To Avoid Pummeling Us With Notifications Like Periscope
Nov 10, 7:47PM
It doesn’t matter if a stream is live if you don’t hear about it until after it’s over. So today Facebook got more serious about its “Live” streaming feature and competing with Periscope by adding a Subscribe button to streams of public figures. Once you click the Subscribe button on a live stream or recorded replay of a stream, you’ll get a push… Read MoreApple TV 'Tech Talks' Coming To Major Cities Across The Globe

Between December and February next year Apple is going to their stores in Toronto, Los Angeles, Austin, Seattle, Cupertino,… Read MoreSo You've Been Breached
Nov 10, 7:24PM
Breaches happen the way Hemingway said you go bankrupt: gradually then suddenly. There is no telling where and when a hacker can enter your servers and there is no telling when or where all of your customer’s private information will appear – whether neatly packaged for sale on the dark web or splashed on a torrent site. All that is clear, however, is that breaches affecting… Read MoreGoogle Will Stop Supporting Chrome For Windows XP, Vista And Older Versions Of OS X By April 2016
Nov 10, 7:01PM
Earlier this year, Google announced that it would still support Chrome on Windows XP through the end of 2015.

Nov 10, 6:58PM
Peer-to-peer payments are a big thing these days. I pay you, you pay me, and never the banks shall touch your cash. Billon, a Polish fintech company, is doing their own flavor of P2P by connecting Twitch streamers and other content creators with an audience that can easily tip them using a seamless system of payment. Founded by Andrzej Horoszczak, Maciek Luczak, and Robert Kaluza, the company… Read MoreSuddenly Every Company Is Becoming A Venture Capitalist
Nov 10, 6:41PM
It has often been said that every company is a software company or even a big data company, but as I attended the Intel Capital Global Summit last week, another thought occurred to me: every company is now also an investment company. The star of the show last week was Intel Capital of course, the venture arm of Intel Corporation, but it’s far from alone. Over dinner strictly by… Read MoreMegan Quinn Heads To Spark Capital As GP To Focus On Growth Stage Investing
Nov 10, 6:25PM
Today, investor Megan Quinn shared that she’d be joining Spark Capital as a general partner for its growth stage fund (its first), which we covered last year.

Google, like most tech companies, has a long road ahead in regards to increasing diversity, and fostering inclusion and belonging. Here are the latest stats around Google’s workforce: 30% women, 70% men globally; 60% white, 31% Asian, 3% black and 2% Hispanic nationwide. This is where Yolanda Mangolini (pictured above, holding the green microphone) comes in. She’s Google’s… Read MoreCollaborative Fund Raises $70 Million For Its Third Fund
Nov 10, 6:08PM
When Craig Shapiro and his team at Collaborative Fund are making investments, they don’t exactly ignore the devil on their shoulders. They look for companies that fall somewhere in the nexus between companies that will address the broader interests of the world around them — but also generate a return on their investment, Shapiro says.

Nov 10, 6:00PM
Delivery companies have finally realized the importance of rolling before learning to fly. While autonomous quadcopter and other airborne drones have been in vogue over the past few years, autonomous ground-based vehicles are slowly eking out their space in the delivery market. Dispatch, founded by a team of MIT and University of Pennsylvania computer vision researchers, is one of several… Read MoreFidelity Writes Down Snapchat Investment
Nov 10, 5:54PM
In the latest sign that some tech startups are overvalued, Fidelity has written down the value of its stake in Snapchat by 25 percent, according to a report by Morningstar. Fidelity participated in Snapchat’s Series F round earlier this year, at an estimated $15 billion valuation. The report, first identified by the Financial Times, showed that Fidelity valued its Snapchat shares at… Read MoreNVIDIA Launches New GPUs For Deep Learning Applications, Partners With Mesosphere
Nov 10, 5:54PM

One area where GPUs are especially helpful (besides video encoding), is machine learning and NVIDIA is making a big bet on this. Read MoreTumblr Rolls Out Instant Messaging On Both Web And Mobile
Nov 10, 5:53PM
Tumblr today has launched a feature that its user base has wanted for some time: messaging. The blogging platform has long offered an inbox feature and way for its users to ask each other questions, but now it has added threaded, instant messaging as well. The feature is rolling out now on the web as well as within Tumblr’s mobile apps on iOS and Android. Not all users will immediately… Read MoreApple Music Comes To Android As An Emissary
Nov 10, 5:30PM
Today, Apple Music comes to Android phones. It’s the first user-centric app that Apple has created for Android (but not its first). As people download and dissect it, they’ll doubtless be looking at how Apple builds on Android, what features are ported over from iOS and what Apple’s pan-operating-system Music philosophy looks like in the mobile age. In advance of the launch,… Read MoreTwitter Sees 6% Increase In "Like" Activity After First Week Of Hearts
