C-Way Is An Apple Watch For Kids
Jan 10, 12:05AM
While wandering the Eureka Park floor at CES, we ran into C-Way, a cool French startup that is making GPS-enabled smart watches for kids. So what exactly does a smart watch for kids do? Well first off, it helps parents keep track of their kid’s location. By embedding a GPS sensor in the device, parents can open C-Way’s app and see where your child is at all times, thanks to a… Read MoreWhat To Know Before You Co-Invest
Jan 10, 12:00AM
One of my investors candidly asked me recently, “Shelly, if I have an opportunity to invest with people I’ve just met, how do I avoid getting screwed over?” This is a good question; for most investors interested in startups, co-investing is the de facto way to invest. Just like you scrutinize the entrepreneur, the technology and the market opportunity before investing, you… Read MoreBonaverde Plans To Reinvent The Way You Drink Coffee
Jan 09, 11:29PM
Bonaverde co-founder Hans Stier took the stage this week at CES to give us an update on his company. As a reminder, Bonaverde raised nearly $700,000 on Kickstarter a few years ago for a coffee machine that roasts, grinds and brews coffee in fifteen minutes. Read More
Tesla Model S Can Now Drive Without You
Jan 09, 10:13PM
Well, authorities in Hong Kong aren’t going to like this one bit. Back in November, they told Tesla to remotely disable its semiautonomous driving technology until they can confirm that the features, released in mid October, are safe. They were concerned (sort of understandably) by widely reported hijinks by drivers who were using Tesla’s new Autopilot software to shave and sit… Read MoreGoogle And Amazon Talk About Managing Drone Traffic At CES
Jan 09, 9:30PM
Figuring out how to manage drone traffic over the United States to allow for drone delivery services and other drone-based service is going to be critical if Amazon and Google ever want to deliver packages to the backyards of their customers. Earlier this week, Amazon’s VP of Global Public Policy Paul Misener and Dave Vos, Google’s lead of Project Wing, as well as… Read More10 Of The Coolest Gadgets We Saw At CES 2016
Jan 09, 9:02PM
We met tons of brand new tech startups at CES this year and saw gadgets ranging from health-focused wearables, drones, 3D printers, and AR/VR headsets. We even got views of the Las Vegas strip from 1,000 feet off the ground in the UberCHOPPER. These were the hottest hardware startups and most interesting gadgets from the show, and you can find our full coverage of this year’s… Read MoreEdwin The Duck Is A $99 Connected Rubber Ducky 🐥
Jan 09, 8:59PM
I’ve had a pretty decent amount of conversations with my college roommate about his great distaste for the fact that almost every new device in existence is “connected” in some way to the web. Light bulbs with WiFi would have likely seemed to be a truly ludicrous concept a few years back but now I rarely bat an eye as I immediately archive the cavalcade of connected bulb… Read MoreGameFace Labs On Their Upcoming Untethered VR Headset
Jan 09, 8:14PM
Yesterday on the CES TechCrunch Hardware Battlefield stage I sat down with Edward Mason, Founder and CEO of VR Headset startup GameFace Labs. Founded in London, GameFace Labs makes a self-contained VR headset, meaning it doesn’t need to be attached to an external computer like Oculus or other headsets that require a high-powered gaming rig. GameFace Lab’s first device will ship… Read More
Fee-For-Value Drives Trillion-Dollar Healthcare Opportunity
Jan 09, 8:00PM
One of the main tenets of healthcare reform has been to better align payment/reimbursement schemes to incentivize healthcare providers for achieving improved outcomes and lower cost. Historically, insurance companies (including Medicare) have made separate payments to providers for each of the individual services they provide to patients for a single illness, visit or course of treatment.… Read MoreEndless Has Built A $79 PC For The Offline World
Jan 09, 7:54PM
There are affordable computers, there are cheap computers and then there’s the Endless Mini, which is available for as little as $79. “Everybody in the world deserves the option to have a computer,” said Endless CEO and Chief of Product Matt Dalio. In other words, Endless is building Linux-based computers for people who have never owned a computer, particularly those in… Read MorePhoto Evidence Shows Facebook Is Building Messenger For Mac
Jan 09, 7:08PM
TechCrunch has attained photographic evidence and an eyewitness report that Facebook has built an as-yet-unreleased Facebook Messenger For Mac desktop app. The photo below shows a Facebook employee using it. Releasing an official Facebook Messenger For Mac app could make it easy for people to chat whenever they’re on their computer. Instead of getting buried in one of many web… Read MoreRisks And Red Lines As UK Prepares To Reforge Surveillance Law
Jan 09, 6:44PM
This year the U.K. has a historic opportunity to lead the world in creating a transparent legal framework for the operation of secret state surveillance powers. But there is a parallel risk of forging bad law and encouraging other countries down a similarly problematic path. The stakes could not be higher… Read MoreFaraday Future's Chief Engineer Is Short On Answers, Full Of Buzzwords
Jan 09, 6:31PM
Faraday Future’s Nick Sampson joined me on the TechCrunch CES 2016 for what turned out to be a lively interview. Sampson is Faraday’s Senior Vice President of R&D and engineering and, I guess, moonlights as the company’s spokesperson. But he’s no Elon Musk. So far even after the company’s public reveal, very little is known about Faraday Future. Sampson… Read MoreGillmor Gang: Stock Footage
Jan 09, 6:19PM
The Gillmor Gang — John Borthwick, Matthew Panzarino, Ari Weinstein, and Steve Gillmor. Recorded live Friday, December 18, 2015.

Jan 09, 4:00PM
Now that the books have closed on 2015, it’s time to look back and take in some of the changes in the analytics software market. There have been several trends (open source, cloud hosting, SQL on Hadoop) that have continued to play out, as well as the emergence of AWS Redshift as a major force in data warehouses. Read MoreThe Cruel Inequities
Jan 09, 2:00PM
There are few people in technology more infuriating than Y Combinator’s Paul Graham, who earlier this month dropped a brilliant summary and analysis of the ongoing refragmentation of modern societies, followed immediately by a blinkered, muddled, wrong-headed essay on technology’s role in economic inequality. The response from his fellow tech VCs was remarkable. Read MoreVirtual Reality And A Parallel Universe Of Cyberclones
Jan 09, 1:00PM
One of the biggest technology trends of 2015 was virtual reality (VR), from Oculus Rift to Google’s cardboard headsets. TechCrunch SF Disrupt 2015 saw a lot of VR experiences where users could wear headsets and navigate in an immersive 3D world. In Las Vegas, CES demonstrated a range of new gadgets and gaming experiences involving both VR and AR (augmented reality, e.g., Magic Leap). Read MoreUber Lowers Fares In Over 100 Cities
Jan 09, 2:16AM
Uber is lowering prices in over 100 U.S. and Canadian cities, effective tomorrow. January is a slower month for the car service and the company says it is reducing fares in order to increase demand. “Seasonality affects every business, and Uber is no exception,” said the company blog post. Uber claims that the increased demand will offset the lower prices and that drivers will… Read MoreParrot's Henri Seydoux Shares His Vision Of The Future Of Drones
Jan 09, 1:47AM
Parrot has had an interesting week. Many were expecting a new drone from the famous drone maker (among other things). But when you think about drones, chances are you are picturing a quadcopter in your mind. Instead, the company unveiled and airplane-like drone with two wings.

I Am Cardboard, makers of a variety of Google Cardboard viewers, recently delivered their new DSCVR Headset (pronounced “Discover”) after a recent, successful Kickstarter campaign.
