The 12 Best-Sounding Headphones For Everyone On Your Nice List
Dec 13, 11:17PM
Buying someone else headphones is often easier said than done. Audiophiles are a fickle bunch and even kids know exactly what type of brand/sound they want these days. These headphones I’m recommending run the gamut in affordability ($25 to $1,945) but they all offer something distinctly unique and refreshing. As a general rule, buying headphones online is probably not the best move… Read More
The State Of Robotics For 2015
Dec 13, 11:00PM
While faulty hoverboards are setting themselves ablaze to celebrate Christmas, robots are gradually moving from labs to news reports to entering our daily lives. First in line are drones, already in many people’s hands, autonomous cars with early deployments such as Tesla’s autopilot, and desktop robots like 3d printers. In 2015 robot popped up in many forms, shapes and industries. Read More
The Real Reason We Should Be Thinking About Sustainability
Dec 13, 11:00PM
“Sustainability” and “innovation” are two broad marketing terms used in conjunction so often that they’ve become almost meaningless. You’ll hear executives talking about how sustainability is good for business and the environment — and that’s why every business, in every industry should be “innovating its sustainable practices” or… Read More
Slack Is Launching A New Way To Download Third-Party Apps
Dec 13, 10:56PM
We’ve heard from sources that Slack, the super-hot collaborative communication startup, is launching a new way to download third-party apps. This would be a big move for the startup, valued at $2.8 billion, that could help bring it out of the realm of being a charming new entry to a potential powerhouse in collaboration software. Initially just a channel for communication among teams,… Read More

Dec 13, 10:30PM
As courts grapple with how to apply the Fourth Amendment’s privacy provisions to online crime fighting, it may become difficult for law enforcement and technology companies to collaborate to fight terrorism and other crimes. Read More
Taylor Swift Will Launch A Concert Documentary Exclusively On Apple Music
Dec 13, 8:48PM
After a series of back-and-forths between Apple and Taylor Swift over royalties, a near-break up between the superstar and Apple Music and a final mea culpa between the two, Swift is now planning on releasing a documentary for her 1989 concert tour exclusively on Apple Music. Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes. I have a little surprise for you. #1989WorldTourLIVE… Read More
Are Apps The New Gurus? The Rise Of Self-Help Tech
Dec 13, 8:00PM
The way we do everything has been turned upside down: how we read, how we communicate, how we get from point A to point B, how we eat and how we get help when we need it. We are living through the “re-imagination — of nearly everything,” and we are seeing this re-imagination very clearly within the self-help industry. Read More
Dear White People, You Suck At Diversity
Dec 13, 8:00PM
When white people in tech open their mouths about diversity, I tend to brace myself. More often than not, it seems like they say something tone-deaf, outright offensive or lacking in an understanding of intersectionality. Intersectionality is the concept that people face multi-faceted layers of discrimination as a result of their intersecting identities relating to race, gender, class and… Read More
School Districts Are Standing In The Way Of Public School Edtech
Dec 13, 4:00PM
No gymnasiums, no cafeterias and no administrators. That’s school policy at AltSchools, a chain of private, for-profit schools backed by the likes of Andreessen Horowitz and Mark Zuckerberg. At the location I visited this October, the school schedule was written on a white board and could be changed in real time. Students flowed between grade levels and classes based upon what they… Read More
What Google Sees In Augmented Reality
Dec 13, 2:00AM
Reminder: Almost 90 per cent of the revenue of the company formerly known as Google — grandly rebranded Alphabet this fall, even if everyone, including me, is still going to call Google Google — comes from advertising. Mountain View’s annual revenue is around $69 billion at this point. It makes almost all (89 per cent) of that money-mountain from ads. It might like… Read More
Skipping Copper: The Consumerization Of Edtech
Dec 13, 12:00AM
Asia accounts for nearly half of the mobile learning revenues in the world. Thousands of hagwons, or “cram schools,” line the streets in South Korea, which has about 15 percent of the global tutoring market. Parents spend an average of $1,000 per month on private tutoring — an estimated 20 percent of the monthly cost to raise a child there. In India, 7.5 percent of… Read More
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 More
College 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 More
Adobe'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 More

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. Some of them are expensive – a $38K watch is a stretch – but most are well within reach and well worth your attention. Read More
China Is Making Domain Name History
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 More
Cinematique 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 More
Dell-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 More
OMG 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? Read More
