Can Tech Solve Climate Change?
Dec 12, 11:30PM
With the close of the Paris Climate Talks, tech titans pledging to invest in clean energy technologies, and Buffett’s Grandson starting a Berkshire Hathaway-like fund for impact investing, the question remains: how can tech solve climate change? Read MoreCollege Campuses Are The New Test Facilities For Emerging Technology
Dec 12, 9:00PM
College campuses have long been sites of innovation and technology. Housing superior research and development facilities, a plethora of advisory resources and brilliant thinkers, higher-ed institutions are natural hubs for creating next-gen systems. But while universities are traditionally credited with tech invention, they are less celebrated for tech adoption — which is arguably just… Read MoreAdobe's Record Revenue Proves Successful Business Transformation Is Possible
Dec 12, 7:53PM
As we watch organizations like IBM, HP and EMC struggle to transform, Adobe is an interesting contrasting case. It went from selling boxed software to a cloud subscription model in shorter order, and judging from its financial report that came out last week, it’s done quite well making that leap. First, let’s have a look at the numbers. Adobe reported a record $1.31 billion… Read More6 Nerdy Guy Things To Wear That Won't Make You Look Like A Nerd
Dec 12, 5:04PM
All of the gifts in our guy’s clothing and accessory guide look great and have enough of a nerdy frisson to make you a hit at holiday parties.

Dec 12, 4:00PM
Short domains have always been valuable, but if you’re a company today and want to own a short domain name, your price just became a lot higher. And I mean a lot. There is a market unfolding that very few know about, and tens of millions of dollars are trading hands monthly. Over the last two years, China has become the largest buyer of domain names, resulting in what is likely the… Read MoreCinematique Lets Brands Sell Directly Through Video
Dec 12, 3:01PM
For years, we’ve heard whispers of shoppable video. Imagine watching your favorite TV show or a music video online and being able to instantly purchase an item that appeals to you, from a shade of lipstick to a particular pair of boots. But it seems the trend is finally coming to fruition. Interlude recently raised $18.2 million from MGM, Warner Music, Samsung, Sequoia Capital,… Read MoreDell-EMC Deal All Systems Go As 'Go Shop' Provision Expires
Dec 12, 2:40PM
When EMC and Dell announced their $67 billion deal in October, there was an interesting provision in the agreement — language that allowed EMC to continue shopping for a better deal. This ‘Go Shop’ clause expired last night. The likelihood that anyone was ever going to step up and give EMC more than the $67 billion it negotiated with Dell was always remote at best, and the… Read MoreOMG LOL SSL FUD
Dec 12, 2:00PM
Bad enough when some scrappy little startup comes to town and disrupts your profit margins into oblivion. Even worse–to any right-thinking capitalist–when a motley crew of idealistic do-gooders sneaks into your barn and sets one of your cash cows free. But what can companies do when faced with this sad and eternal truth: why buy your cow when they can get its SSL certificates for free?

The online gaming industry is scaling the new and unprecedented heights of success with each passing day — and getting recognition in the face of e-sports worldwide.

Dec 12, 1:00AM
Advances in information technology have generated enormous efficiencies in many industries, including manufacturing, transportation, communications, entertainment, retail and financial services. Yet in real estate, the largest industry of them all, innovation has lagged as agents and brokers have been slow to adopt new technologies. Read MorePeter Pham On The Pendulum Swing Back In VCs' Favor
Dec 11, 11:48PM
Early last week, during a panel about the state of early-stage investing, a handful of VCs I interviewed largely agreed that, as a class, they’re less keen right now to write checks as quickly as earlier this year. The next day, First Round Capital published a survey of more than 500 founders of venture-backed companies who plainly agree. In fact, 80 percent of respondents said they… Read MoreWorst Year For Tech IPOs Since 2009
Dec 11, 10:54PM
With just 28 technology companies entering the U.S. public markets, 2015 was the worst year for IPOs since 2009, according to Dealogic. This compares to 62 last year and 48 the year before, with 131 “unicorns” opting to remain private longer. “We haven’t seen so few tech IPOs since the 2008-09 U.S. financial crisis,” notes Kathleen Smith, principal at IPO ETF… Read MoreArtificial Intelligence Nonprofit OpenAI Launches With Backing From Elon Musk And Sam Altman
Dec 11, 10:13PM

This comes a day after Facebook open-sourced its AI hardware. Its reason for existing was explained in an introductory post: Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole… Read MoreThe Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's Chief Of Staff Reveals Plan For Big-Bet Philanthropy
Dec 11, 10:06PM
Priscilla and Mark’s philanthropic foundation will be structured similarly to Facebook’s acquisitions. The couple will entrust expert leaders to pursue pioneering solutions to huge problems without much micromanagement. The goal is to use the flexibility afforded by organizing the Chan-Zuckerberg fortune as an LLC rather than a non-profit to experiment in search of impact with agility.

The winner of the Disrupt London Hackathon was FreeMe, a hack built to give women in distress the ability to push a help button in feminine hygiene dispensers… Read MoreThe Erosion Of "Same Round, Same Price"
Dec 11, 9:00PM
It seems most founders believe investors asking for “extras” on the side are simply greedy and short-sighted. While it’s easy to criticize investors, I believe this behavior is driven in large part as a response to conditions founders have created in early stage investing. I believe two trends, when taken together, have eroded the “one round, one price” standard. Read MoreYouTube Gaming For Android Gets A "Cardboard Mode" For More Immersive Viewing
Dec 11, 7:35PM

Dec 11, 6:37PM
The Star Wars: Force Awakens train is a rollin’ and Google has gotten involved in a few different ways. One was by offering a special edition Google Cardboard in four Star Wars limited edition themes in Verizon stores on December 2nd.
