Jan 21, 11:11PM

Jan 21, 11:00PM
Canvs is a startup measuring emotion on social media, but CEO Jared Feldman insisted that we shouldn’t think of it as a social sentiment company.

Jan 21, 10:00PM
The only security in this world is a reserve of knowledge, not money – so said the industrialist Henry Ford.

But from barter, banknote to bitcoin, the means of exchange have evolved significantly. Read MoreIce.com's New Owners Raise $2 Million To Bring Fair Pricing To The Jewelry Industry
Jan 21, 9:44PM
The jewelry industry is notorious for its insane markups on products and confusing array of terminology related to the metals used or gemstone grades – as with the “four C’s” of diamonds, for example. Now, a new startup – that’s managed to snag the old domain name Ice.com – is trying to change that. With its online jewelry marketplace, the company… Read MoreBitFury CEO Valery Vavilov On Increasing The Size Of Bitcoin "Blocks"
Jan 21, 9:32PM
Earlier today in Davos, where afternoon temperatures reached a balmy 20 degrees (and evening temps have dropped to limb-numbing f-f-five degrees Fahrenheit), CEO Valery Vavilov of the bitcoin infrastructure provider and transaction processing company BitFury swung by our temporary studio.

Jan 21, 8:32PM
The Apple Pencil was billed as a tool that could assist both creatives and professionals.

Jan 21, 8:05PM
Microsoft Garage today launched what must be the most annoying alarm clock for Android yet — especially if you hate mornings as much as I do. The Mimicker Alarm app only lets you dismiss the alarm by — you guessed it — mimicking certain facial expressions, taking a picture of an object that matches whatever color the app decides on for the day, or by repeating a tongue… Read More

Jan 21, 6:00PM
How did Facebook go from 1 billion to 8 billion videos views per day in 18 months without the whole server farm catching fire? It’s called SVE, short for streaming video engine.

And to ensure the next generation of 360 and virtual reality videos load fast too, it’s invented and… Read MoreMicrosoft Announces A Dropbox App For Windows 10 Tablets & PCs, Windows 10 Mobile App "Coming Soon"

Jan 21, 5:32PM
Facebook wasn’t built for sports. Its filtered, non-chronological News Feed made it tough to follow real-time chatter about the game. Twitter’s feed is great for it.
