Readbug Wants To Be Spotify For Indie Magazines
Nov 21, 9:00PM
Readbug’s pitch to its target indie magazine publishers is the chance to increase their digital reach without having to do any extra work or spend any extra money themselves. And its pitch to hipsters is all-you-can eat access to their favorite aspirational reads for a Spotify style monthly fee. Read MoreSix Lessons From Cybersecurity Superhero Training
Nov 21, 9:00PM
One of my distinct grade-school memories is filing out of fourth grade class, nervous, but excited to miss a portion of math class. We were having our quarterly disaster-survival drill; instructing students on what to do in case disaster strikes. While working through yet another attempted malicious cybersecurity attack it dawned on me, why can’t we apply this diligence and training… Read MoreUpthere's Beta Users Have Uploaded More Than 3.5M Files
Nov 21, 8:00PM
Upthere launched their first apps into beta last week, and so far the beta period is off to a good start, the company tells me. No word on how many users have slipped through during the beta, but I’m told that invites are being slowly doled out. Over 3.5 million files have been uploaded to Upthere, which aims to be your personal computer in the cloud. Once your files are there,… Read MoreSamsung Gear VR Sold Out Online At Amazon And Best Buy
Nov 21, 6:54PM
If you didn’t pre-order the new consumer version of Samsung Gear VR, you might have some difficulty finding it on your favorite online shopping destinations. Amazon and Best Buy, both places that have been touted as having a supply of the virtual reality accessory, are showing “temporarily out of stock” and “sold out online” messages respectively. Amazon: Best… Read MoreGillmor Gang: Shelf Space

Nov 21, 6:00PM
Innovation that involves sensitive medical technologies is challenging and provokes strong emotional reactions, but the reality is that the strongest criticisms of Theranos have more to do with business structure than their blood tests. Read MoreExtortionists Are Threatening To Release Patreon User Data
Nov 21, 4:54PM
Cartoonist Steve Streza posted a tweet claiming that an extortionist would release his “tax id, tax forms, SSN, [and] DOB” if he did not pay one bitcoin to a certain bitcoin wallet. The extortion is quite ham-handed – there’s no way to confirm payment, for example and it’s not clear how much of the data was actually leaked in a recent Patreon. A Patreon… Read MoreHaving Success With Code Bootcamps: A Guide For Employers And Bootcamp Grads
Nov 21, 4:00PM
Anyone hiring engineers in tech knows how much competition there is for talent; there just aren’t enough good engineers to go around. As a result of the incredibly high demand for talent, the supply side has responded by launching coding bootcamps all over the country and, indeed, the world. Thousands of post-college adults are dropping their careers and spending months and many thousands… Read MoreMoney For Nothing For Everyone
Nov 21, 2:00PM
“There is something more powerful than the brute force of bayonets: it is the idea whose time has come.” And so last weekend I visited the Basic Income Createathon–held, appropriately enough, at Brigade in San Francisco–to witness the early stirrings of a movement whose central goal may seem strange and radical … but which I expect to eventually transform the life… Read MoreGestures Are Defining Apple Watch
Nov 21, 5:00AM
Instead of the touches and swipes that power most of our screen-based computing devices, many of the core Apple Watch capabilities — like checking the time — are powered by gestures. The use of gestures as a user interface may seem like a novelty to many, but, from the research we did over the last six months, it’s a game changer — a lot of the data and insights we… Read MoreMark Zuckerberg Will Take Two Months Off From Facebook For Paternity Leave
Nov 20, 11:46PM
Mark Zuckerberg, the face of Facebook since the company’s founding back in 2004, will be taking a few months off for paternity leave. News of his time off comes by way of — no surprises here — his Facebook. Read MoreVoter Is Tinder For Politics
Nov 20, 11:33PM
As we approach election season the average person is probably confused by the plethora of candidates. Should you vote Trump? Hillary? Dr. Fantasmus the Libertarian Cyborg? Voter can probably tell you. This app is basically a swipe left/swipe right interface for political leanings. It asks you questions about policy and then recommends a candidate based on who you should vote for. Do you… Read MoreEx-TechCruncher Launches Y Combinator's "Not News" Publication The Macro
Nov 20, 11:11PM
There are plenty of tech blogs. But The Macro can go where no blogs are allowed — deep inside the Hogwarts of startups, Y Combinator. Mixed in with unmentionably candid advice and embarrassing tales of failure meant only for the ears of YC’s founders and mentors are stories worth spreading beyond the accelerator. Read More10 Carpooling Apps To Take This Weekend In San Francisco That Aren't Uber
Nov 20, 10:05PM
Let’s all agree that public transportation in San Francisco is not the greatest, but there’s plenty more ways to get about town and not all of them include clicking on UberPOOL. Here we present a handful of startups in San Francisco hoping to make your commute easier than MUNI and cleaner and cheaper than Uber and Lyft. *H/T to 7×7 for first compiling a number of the… Read MoreWhen And How To Pick Your Next Launch Country
Nov 20, 10:00PM
International expansion is a challenge any globally ambitious company will face — some sooner than others. As a long-time investor in both the U.S. and Europe, I often get asked by the venture community about the difference between the two. In my opinion, one of the key elements is the market fragmentation, which is something that European companies tend to come up against sooner than… Read MoreSquare Investor Says IPO Hoopla Overblown
Nov 20, 9:40PM
Several years ago, the venture firm GGV Capital invested in the Series C round of payment technology company Square, whose shares soared more than 40 percent on their first day of public trading yesterday (and are trading down a few percent today, at $12.78 apiece as of this writing). It’s perhaps unsurprising then that GGV managing director Glenn Solomon thinks the company has only… Read MoreMode Media Maps Out The Video Landscape
Nov 20, 9:09PM
The advertising and media world must have a weakness for industry visualizations — I probably hear about Lumascapes several times a week. Now Mode Media is making its own bid for Lumascape glory, with a new map of the online video ecosystem. As you can see above, the company has divided the big, existing video services into different “lands of control,” including… Read MoreThis Week On The TC Gadgets Podcast: Smart Fragrance Dispensers And Other Oddities
Nov 20, 8:00PM
The Apple Watch dock. The Pura Scents smart fragrance dispenser. A review of this badass gift guide. The Coolest Cooler. And an argument over 3D printers. Long story short, we wander near and far through this week’s TC Gadgets podcast. This week’s episode of the TC Gadgets Podcast is brought to you by John Biggs, Matt Burns, Romain Dillet, and Jordan Crook. We invite you to enjoy… Read MoreTrendquiz Is A Super Addictive Game Using Google Trends Data
Nov 20, 7:44PM
I’m a fan of Google Trends. Whenever a new meme pops up or some major news breaks, I head there to check how interested people are in said information and whether they’ve been interested all along, when it got really hot…and when it became not. A simple site called trendquiz uses Google Trends data to quiz you on whether you can pick out what the trend line is, and it gives… Read MorePasswordBox To Close Service To Focus On Intel's True Key
Nov 20, 7:26PM
Less than a year after being acquired by Intel, PasswordBox is closing its password manager service and pushing users to migrate to — yes, you guessed it — Intel’s alternative, True Key, which launched earlier this year.
