Dec 08, 10:00PM
It’s hard to believe the 9th Annual Crunchies will be happening soon. It seems like only yesterday we all gathered in Herbst Theater and celebrated the first Crunchies Awards; little did we know it was the just the first of many successful Crunchies to come.

Over the next… Read MoreaCommerce Lands Strategic Investment To Expand In Southeast Asia

Dec 08, 9:11PM
In a fairly uncharacteristic move, Apple launched a new product today with little to no fanfare. Called the Smart Battery Case, it’s a $99 wrap for the iPhone 6 and 6s meant to compete with the likes of the Mophie Juice Pack. Looking for a battery case? Wondering if its worth making the jump from one you’ve already got? Here are our initial impressions, after spending a bit of… Read MoreUber's Testing A New Mass Transit Alternative

Dec 08, 7:00PM
We crave new technology. We loathe new technology. We need change. We fear change.

Dec 08, 6:39PM
You know the drill. Once a city has spoken with Google about bringing Fiber into their hood, there’s a process for the city to go through. A lengthy one. Checklists. The whole nine yards. Two new cities are exploring Fiber with Google and they are Chicago and Los Angeles. Yes, San Francisco has been skipped again and I’m going to go cry into my slow internet from Comcast.… Read MoreTwitter Is Monkeying Around With The Order Of Tweets In Your Timeline
