Are Tweeting Drones On The Way? Patent Tips Off Potential Future Of Selfies
Dec 21, 11:58PM
In today’s episode of “boring patents…wait, WHAT ARE THOSE???”, it looks like Twitter filed a patent for messaging with or from, or both, an unmanned vehicle (drone!) in June of this year. It was just published a few days ago. It’s probably something that was put together at a hackathon and someone at Twitter said “hey that’s cool let’s patent… Read MoreChelsea Peretti Will Host The 9th Annual Crunchies Awards
Dec 21, 10:00PM
You can’t hold an awards show without a stellar host. The Oscars had Neil Patrick Harris. The VMAs had Miley. And the Emmys, coincidentally, had Andy Samberg. Why is that a coincidence? Because we’ve snagged his Brooklyn Nine Nine co-star, actress, writer and comedian Chelsea Peretti, to host the 9th Annual Crunchies Awards on February 8th in San Francisco. If you don’t know… Read MoreEsplorio Records Your Journey So You Don't Have To
Dec 21, 9:48PM
Before I took an arrow to the knee I was quite the adventurer. From Dragonsreach to Blue Palace I’ve visited them all and I have the mugs and commemorative shot glasses to prove it. But what about photos and web checkins? It’s hard to get those at a Khajiit souvenir shop. Esplorio is trying to make it easier to record your trips on the fly. The app maps your trip passively and… Read MoreE-Commerce Isn't Everything
Dec 21, 9:00PM
The holiday season is here. For many of us that means lots of shopping. Are you doing most of your shopping online or in stores? If you’re like most consumers, the answer is both, but with a significant bias toward physical stores. Despite all the attention about Cyber Monday and online transactions, e-commerce sales will still only amount to roughly 7 percent of all retail sales this year.

Dec 21, 8:07PM
As promised, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) launched its drone registry today. If you live in the U.S. and own any kind of drone that weighs more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds (and that’s pretty much every drone that isn’t a toy like the Parrot MiniDrone), you have until February 19, 2016 to register it. If you buy a new drone after today, you don’t… Read MoreTesla's Model S To Get Spotify Premium For Free Outside Of The US
Dec 21, 7:56PM

Goldman has been handling Uber’s mega-rounds,… Read MorePinball In Virtual Reality? Yes Please
Dec 21, 7:28PM
OK, it doesn’t exist just yet, but one group called “Pinball Labs” has a new Kickstarter to bring back the feels you felt when you entered an arcade with tons of pinball games. There’s nothing like the sounds and visuals of old pinball machines (I love Addams Family) and it could become a…reality once again in VR. The Kickstarter recently went live and this video… Read MoreYahoo Renews Its Partnership With NBC Sports

Dec 21, 5:59PM
It’s been just under 3 months since Apple debuted “Live Photos” with the iPhone 6s and, slowly but surely, big third parties are finding ways to integrate them. Tumblr picked them up just days ago… and now Live Photos are getting support from the biggest photo sharing beast of them all: Facebook. Starting with an update hitting this morning, Facebook is rolling out… Read More2015 IPO Scorecard: How Box, Square, Fitbit And Others Stacked Up
Dec 21, 5:53PM
2015 was not a good year for IPOs. In fact, it was the worst year for tech IPOs since the financial crisis in 2009, with more and more startups opting to remain private longer. Stock market swings stemming from an oil crisis and a delayed interest rate decision meant that some companies in the pipeline decided to postpone their IPO until 2016. “Investors in the market were looking… Read MoreYoyo Launches Mobile Wallet In The U.S.

Dec 21, 4:08PM
The Dell-EMC deal has had so many moving pieces since it was announced in October, it’s hard to tell the players without a score card. This morning, Pivotal, which is jointly owned by EMC and VMware (and General Electric) announced it was buying CloudCredo, a Cloud Foundry service provider based in the UK.
