Read MoreHands-On With Facebook's Haphazard Shopping Feed
Nov 30, 8:53PM
Random is the right way to describe Facebook’s attempted invasion of Amazon’s turf.

It brings with it a ton of knowledge about you and its position as where people spend… Read MoreYouTube Enters The App Store's Top Grossing Charts, Thanks To YouTube Red Subscriptions

Read MoreGoogle Granted Patent That Enables Self-Driving Cars To Interact With Pedestrians
Nov 30, 7:17PM
A lot of people are excited to hop into a car one day and read emails and tweets as the car drives itself, and you, to work. It would cut down on the anxiety we all feel during our daily commutes, as well as keep the roads safer.

Nov 30, 5:54PM
Bitcoin is currently enjoying what politicos call a boomlet — a small bump that, while perhaps not impressive on a historical scale, is certainly notable.

That, combined with a small rise in global interest and what seems to be the highest transaction volume in… Read MoreAmazon's Drone Video Is The Perfect Devious Holiday Ad Campaign
