10 Under 10-Years-Old
Jan 07, 12:13AM
Watch a sad old man (age 25) interview the top pre-tween entrepreneurs in this hilarious video. Even though it’s a parody of the Forbes 30 Under 30, this is too real. “Even an 8-year-old could have regrets because there’s always going to be that 6-year-old inventor who speaks 7 languages” filmmaker Ankush Jindal from MasterClass tells me. Thanks for capturing everyone… Read MoreA Few Quick Laps In Chevy's New $30k All-Electric Vehicle, The Bolt
Jan 07, 12:13AM
This morning at CES, Chevrolet unveiled an all new electric vehicle called the Bolt (not to be confused with their hybrid, the Volt.) For around $30k after rebates, Chevy is promising a range of around 200 miles per nine hour charge and a pretty sweet suite of technology. I’m not going to go too deep with my impressions here, as my experience thus far is limited to a few quick laps around… Read MoreTechCrunch Takes The UberCHOPPER
Jan 07, 12:12AM
So this just happened. An hour ago or so, Uber activated UberCHOPPER promotion in Vegas. Walking out of the GM keynote, I open up the Uber app to get a ride and up popped the $99 UberCHOPPER option.

Jan 06, 11:15PM
DCM Ventures, the early-stage, cross-border venture firm, has scored many hits by sticking it out in China since nearly its 1996 founding, even as many competing firms – because they were unable or unwilling to invest the time in local relationships – have come and gone. Among the many China-based companies backed early on by DCM are Renren, Dandang, and Vipshop, all of which… Read MoreThis Robotic Arm Can Do Everything From 3D Printing To Laser Cutting To Cake Decorating
Jan 06, 11:11PM
Having hands is pretty damn great, you know. Most of us take it for granted just about every day. Armed with the right tool, your hands can do just about anything. That’s the idea behind Carbon Robotics’ KATIA, a product launched at the TechCrunch Hardware Battlefield in Las Vegas today. One robotic arm, and endless array of possibilities. KATIA — or, as it’s known best… Read MoreFITGuard Is A Mouthguard That Detects The Severity Of A Blow To The Head

Jan 06, 10:19PM
It’s estimated that nearly 18 percent of the water used in a person’s home is lost to leaks. Annually that can amount to a staggering 13,000 gallons of water. Whether all of that is coming from the toilet that won’t stop running or a catastrophic burst pipe, oftentimes you find out far too late that there’s a problem or an accident has occurred. Calliope Waterworks… Read MoreThe $8.2 Billion Adtech Fraud Problem That Everyone Is Ignoring

Jan 06, 9:20PM
The location aware app Foursquare, and its check-in sidekick Swarm, seemingly kills my phone’s battery. I mean, whenever I get within a block of the TechCrunch office, it lets me know all of the wonderful places around me that I can grab a coffee or whatnot. I even tweeted about how annoying the drain is: Foursquare should pay for my iPhone battery pack. — drew olanoff (@drew)… Read MoreNetflix Shares Spike 9% As It Moves Into 130 New Countries

Jan 06, 8:08PM
The Oculus Rift is now available for pre-order at $599, but there’s been some confusion about what else you’ll need to plug it in and getting going once it hits your doorstep. Wait just a minute.
