Ad Blocking: A Primer
Jan 16, 11:00PM
There’s a lot of buzz right now around ad blocking. Depending on your perception, you might consider ad blocking a savior… or a growing problem. Both points of view are valid, to some degree. What appears to be a certainty, however, is that the use of ad blockers is expected to grow exponentially. Read MoreSpaceX Prepares For Another Rocket Landing On West Coast
Jan 16, 9:00PM
Tomorrow at 10:42 AM PST SpaceX is scheduled to launch the Jason-3 satellite into orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. For many, it will be what happens after the launch that’s most important. Shortly after liftoff, SpaceX will make another attempt to land the first stage of their Falcon 9 rocket, this time on a floating drone ship in the ocean. Back in December,… Read MoreTech And The Changing Face Of Insurance
Jan 16, 8:00PM
It’s only 2016, but the real world is quickly moving into the realm of science fiction. Drones, driverless cars and not-really-hoverboards are (or soon will be) commonplace. We’ve also seen technology change industries not normally associated with the term “cutting edge.” But with these new toys and technologies come questions. Here’s the one question everyone… Read MoreISIS Has Its Own Encrypted Chat App
Jan 16, 7:18PM
Terrorists are communicating over a new secure Android app after getting kicked off WhatsApp, Telegram, and other messengers. Called “Alrawi”, the encrypted chat app makes it harder for governments and security agencies to spy on terrorist plans. It was discovered by counter-terrorism network known as the Ghost Security Group, which Fortune reports had previously flagged ISIS… Read MoreRegulators Should Favor Lyft And Uber, Not Taxis For Safety Reasons
Jan 16, 6:05PM
I decided to leave my group early and get some shut-eye for an early day the next day so I got into a dirty cab alone with a guy who decided to abuse his power as a driver that night, ignoring my need to feel safe in his car. My cab driver began the ride silently (fine by me) but then started asking me the usual about where I’m from and what brought me to town. I told him I was a… Read MoreDating App Newbie Blume Wants To Kill Catfishing With Ephemeral Selfies
Jan 16, 6:00PM
Make room for yet another dating app. San Francisco-based Blume is hoping to entice singles into its arms with a real-time selfie feature designed to thwart catfishing. So no more being chatted up by sex-mad robots. Or wooed by forlorn hopers overselling their dating prospects with a set of out-of-date/overly processed photos. Read MoreNotify Nearby Launches To Help Fashion Brands Share Deals And Content
Jan 16, 5:16PM
At this point, we’ve probably all heard (or experienced!) the scenario where you’re walking past a store and your phone buzzes to alert you about nearby deals. The challenge, though, is sending a message that’s actually interesting, useful and maybe even exciting, rather than annoying. Nevin Jethmalani, co-founder and CEO of Notify Nearby, said he’s had that… Read MoreReal Customer Choice For T-Mobile's Binge On Requires Transparency, Opt-In
Jan 16, 4:00PM
If you’ve been paying attention to technology news lately, you probably noticed the headlines about T-Mobile CEO John Legere and his anti-EFF mini-rant on Twitter. Legere was responding to a question we had asked about T-Mobile’s Binge On service: “Does Binge On alter the video stream in any way, or just limit its bandwidth?” But it apparently made him angry enough to… Read MoreBook It, Baby
Jan 16, 2:00PM
Remember e-books? Those were the days, weren’t they? Those crazy few years when the fad of reading on a Kindle swept the nation. Now, of course, that fit of mass hysteria is behind us. E-book sales are falling, down more than 10% in 2015 — YA down 44%! — while used bookstores are coming back. Yes, that’s right; print is regaining its regal primacy; e-books are dead. Right? Read MoreWill Robots Save The Future Of Work?
Jan 16, 2:00AM
Is a robot coming for your job? It’s not a novel question, but if Gartner’s predictions are correct, the answer could be leaning more definitively toward yes. The analyst firm’s research suggests one in three jobs will be converted to software, robots and smart machines by 2025. What is new, however, is that the influx of robots in the workforce is no longer just a concern… Read MoreiTunes Radio Is No Longer Free
Jan 16, 1:50AM
iTunes Radio will no longer be free, as of January 28. In an email to customers, Apple said that the Pandora-like service will only be available for Apple Music subscribers, which costs $9.99 per month. Apple will still be offering free radio, however. The Beats 1 listening channels, with live DJs, will remain in operation. (This is different than the Beats Music app, which was recently… Read MoreNASA Spacewalk Cut Short After Spacesuit Malfunction
Jan 16, 1:26AM
NASA terminated a spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS) today due to a spacesuit malfunction with one of the American astronauts. NASA’s Timothy Kopra and British astronaut Timothy Peake were scheduled to complete a six-and-a-half-hour spacewalk to switch out an electrical component in the ISS’s solar power system. Read MoreWhen Will We See A New Apple Watch?
Jan 16, 12:29AM
We will get new Apple Watch hardware at some point. The possibilities of better battery life, lighter casings and un-tethered utility are self-evident and Apple will capitalize on those. But when? Read MoreMeet Airbus Ventures, A "Pure-Play" Aerospace Venture Firm
Jan 16, 12:01AM
In late spring last year, the Netherlands-based aerospace and defense giant Airbus Group announced a $150 million corporate venture capital fund. Today, that fund, Airbus Ventures, announced its first bet, on an eight-year-old, Phoenix-based company called Local Motors that uses 3D printing to make appliances and road-ready vehicles. Our interest piqued, we talked earlier today… Read More13 TechCrunch Stories You Don't Want To Miss This Week
Jan 15, 11:23PM
After some of our staff spent the past week at CES, TechCrunch is back reporting the hottest tech stories. This week, the U.S. government got serious about self-driving cars, Apple rolled out new software betas, and we uncovered evidence that Facebook has built a Messenger for Mac desktop app. These are our best stories. Read MoreLyft Lowers Prices In Latest Rideshare War With Rival Uber
Jan 15, 9:45PM
Earlier this week I benefitted from a drop in Uber Pool pricing, noting my ride was a whole Starbucks medium-size latte less than Lyft Line. Lyft, fresh with a new billion dollars in funding, is now doing the same. Uber announced a reduction in price in more than 100 cities in the U.S. and Canada last week, most likely prompting Lyft to figure out the measures it would have to take to not lose… Read MoreTwitter, And Pretty Much Everyone Else, Had A Bad Day
Jan 15, 9:31PM
Today was not a good day for tech stocks. Universally, tech stocks crashed today alongside everything else, erasing billions in value across the board, as part of a bad day overall for the market. There’s not a whole lot of confidence throughout the market, but tech — even bellwethers like Apple — weren’t safe today. That being said, some stocks got particularly hammered… Read MoreWelcome Space Gal Emily Calandrelli To TechCrunch
Jan 15, 9:19PM
We’re super pleased to say that Emily Calandrelli has joined up with TechCrunch to cover space, science and everything STEM related. Emily, known as The Space Gal on Twitter, has an authoritative and entertaining voice in the space arena, something I’ve been wanting more of on TC for a while now. Emily is also a producer and the host of FOX’s Xploration Outer Space, a… Read MoreBMW MINI Teams Up With HAX To Build A NYC Accelerator Focused On Connected Cities Of The Future
Jan 15, 9:14PM
What will the city of the future look like? We’re starting to see new technologies capable of helping future urban populations share more resources, reduce costs and communicate in new ways and BMW’s MINI would like to be at the forefront of this movement. That’s why MINI says it teamed up with HAX, an existing hardware accelerator within SOSV (formerly SOS Ventures), to build… Read MoreINNOVATE2016: Presidential Candidate Martin O'Malley On Technology And The 2016 Campaign
Jan 15, 8:44PM
Along with Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley is the only credible alternative in the Democratic party to Hillary Clinton. In contrast with Sanders, however, the relatively youthful O’Malley is really focused on reinventing innovation in America and fusing it with a 21st century social justice.
