A First Look At Mobile Gamers In Iran
Jan 18, 12:00AM
Here’s a fresh profile of the Iranian mobile games scene that’ll provide some useful insights to developers and publishers interested in this otherwise foggy market. We gathered the data via a survey we ran between January 2-10, 2016, sampling 837 mobile gamers on our channel on LINE, the popular messaging app in Iran.

Jan 17, 11:33PM
“Let’s make a country,” my friend Rich said. He was serious. He and I were talking outside of a bitcoin conference in New York. It was April, 2014 and we were inside the Javits Center, the glass abomination on the Hudson that event goers hated. It was raining wildly and the crypto-folks were bumping into each other as they milled about talking about the future of money. I… Read MoreSpaceX Successfully Launches Satellite, Unsuccessfully Lands Rocket
Jan 17, 10:15PM
Today, SpaceX was hoping to achieve the first ever rocket recovery on a drone ship in the ocean.

Read MoreWill 2016 See The End Of Closed-Source Politics?
Jan 17, 8:00PM
As the presidential primary campaigns heat up across both parties, voters are increasingly gravitating toward outsider candidates like Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson — candidates promising to shake up the establishment, with the credentials (or lack thereof) to back it up. But of all the issues gaining traction around the debates and campaign stops, one that is… Read MoreAdSemble Will Give One Startup Some Billboard Space Near The Super Bowl
Jan 17, 6:42PM
When people talk about ads at the Super Bowl, they usually mean those TV campaigns that big brands (including tech companies) pay millions of dollars for. But AdSemble is giving startups an opportunity for free Super Bowl advertising of a different kind — on a digital billboard near the event itself. AdSemble aims to simplify the process of advertising on digital billboards and for… Read MoreThe Federal Government Must Act To Ensure That The Autonomous Vehicle Revolution Takes Place In The U.S.
Jan 17, 4:00PM
The advent of autonomous vehicles is around the corner, and the economic and social benefits will be vast. The U.S. government must do more to ensure that the United States remains the global center for this transformative technology. Much is at stake: If the federal government does not act, there is a very real risk that development of autonomous vehicles — one of the defining… Read MoreA Global Perspective Of Israeli Tech In 2015
Jan 17, 4:00AM
From the Chinese stock market crash that shook global equity markets to the obsession with hunting for unicorns, 2015 was a year filled with volatility and non-traditional capital flowing into the private markets. Israel felt the effects of these global trends. Whether it’s sectors like cyber and fintech heating up or syndications and co-investments leading to increased round sizes… Read MoreSnoop Dogg On Why He's Investing in GameOn
Jan 17, 1:22AM
A new sports conversation app called GameOn has secured an investment from Snoop Dogg, TechCrunch has learned. The rapper has added onto the seed round, which also included former NFL players Joe Montana and Lawyer Milloy. Snoop told TechCrunch that he’s investing in the app because he “loves sports” and he thinks it’s a good way to chat about the games. “Fans… Read MoreAd 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.
