Jan 03, 9:47PM

CES 2014 The Consumer Electronics Show keeps on growing. Several years ago the show outgrew the massive Las Vegas Convention Center and started using part of the Sands Expo Center several blocks away.

Jan 03, 8:00PM

tvremote Just five years ago the world was a very different place.

Movi iPhone If you’re a regular person looking to shoot some video, it’s hard to complain about the many, many options available.

Real Solutions For On-Demand Worker Classification

Jan 02, 11:00PM

juggler This past year will be remembered as the year of the on-demand economy. For many people, especially those outside of Silicon Valley, it seemed to come out of nowhere.

To understand why, we need to look at… Read More

Why Bitcoin Matters

Jan 02, 2:00PM

Gold_Bars The most epochal financial transaction of this century, to date, occurred on May 22, 2010. It did not involve Wall Street, or the City of London; it took place in Jacksonville, Florida. It did not feature collateralized debt obligations, or credit default swaps. It was a purchase of two Papa John’s pizzas, in exchange for a payment whose present value currently exceeds US $4 million. Read More



The Unicorns Of Southeast Asia

Jan 02, 1:00PM

Southeast Asia I have spent most of my life living and traveling in Southeast Asia; the last two years as the mentor to Asian startups. Southeast Asia — home to 620 million people across 11 countries  — has been skyrocketing with tremendous growth; case in point, the 16 percent increase in Aggregate Investment Deal Value, to US$1.05 billion in 2014.

Jan 01, 10:00PM

attempts It took back-to-back acqui-hires for me to learn there’s a right way and a wrong way to do them. We had made it.

Seventeen months later, I was laid off. Read More

A Quick Tour Of Wearables In 2015

Jan 01, 6:00PM

This is one you'd get for a really, really good girlfriend…and you happen to be rich. The starting price for this watch is $1500 USD. Wearables had a varied year in 2015, with a lot of hype and a few big winners streaking ahead of the field, leaving plenty of also-rans struggling to stand out. It’s fair to say that the entire category is yet to prove whether it offers lasting utility or mere faddish novelty… Read More
