The Repeat Political Madness Of Never-Ending Crypto Wars
Jan 24, 1:00AM
What is it with politicians and encryption? There are now two bills in different U.S. states, one in California and one in New York, proposing that smartphones sold in the state must be able to be decrypted on demand by either their manufacturer or OS provider. Read MoreHow Solar Software Can Save The World
Jan 23, 11:00PM
VCs have avoided solar deals ever since Solyndra became a four-letter word. But while their attention has strayed, the industry has been on a tear. In 2010, U.S. solar installers hit a milestone of 1 GW per year. Five years later, they’re installing more than 1 GW per month. This tremendous growth has fed a swelling herd of solar unicorns populated by the likes of SolarCity, SunEdison… Read MoreGoogle Working On Its Own Consumer VR Hardware, Latest Job Postings Suggest
Jan 23, 10:55PM
Google appears to be doubling down on virtual reality as they look to begin building “multiple” consumer hardware devices, according to new VR job postings on their site. Google’s current consumer VR offerings are confined to its Google Cardboard program, which allows consumers to experience rudimentary virtual reality with a simple system involving cheap headsets attached… Read MoreBlue Origin Launches and Lands Recovered Rocket
Jan 23, 8:35PM
Without any notice, Blue Origin made history once again when they completed a successful launch and landing of a suborbital rocket yesterday. What made this flight particularly notable was that they used the same rocket that had been launched into space on a flight in November. The recovered New Shepard rocket launched from Blue Origin’s test site in West Texas, brought a capsule to… Read MoreIs VC The Right Money For Fintech?
Jan 23, 8:00PM
Financial technology has never been a more exciting or innovative category — especially in New York City. Oddly, tech is not the driving force in many of these ventures. The Blockchain and Bitcoin notwithstanding, most of what we’re seeing now is financial product evolution and the unbundling of the large bank. Most of these companies could have been built 20 years ago. Read MoreiAllocate Is A Robot That Helps You Invest Your Cash
Jan 23, 6:33PM
Robots are everywhere. They help lawyers make decisions, they sweep up after our parties, and now they can help you figure out how to invest your money. In fact, an Atlanta-based company called iAllocate is using artificial intelligence to suggest where you should be stashing your millions. “Currently, iAllocate.me provides investors of all levels a DIY set of tools to not only… Read MoreBitcoin Is Dead (Again), Long Live Bitcoin (Again)
Jan 23, 2:00PM
Oh, the drama, such drama. Last week, longtime Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn declared “the Bitcoin experiment…has failed,” and resigned from that community with a fusillade of verbal grenades (and a New York Times profile of his dissent.) This in turn provoked a whole torrent of hot takes and reactions, which mostly had one thing in common: contempt for all who disagree. Read MoreGet Small To Get Big Through Microservices
Jan 23, 1:00PM
If we trace a path that starts with Gutenberg’s use of moveable type to Malcom McLean’s invention of the shipping container, we start to recognize a very interesting pattern: Each new layer of abstraction and standardization creates tremendous value out of the resulting increases in scale and efficiency. Today’s digital innovators can trace a similar historical path that… Read MoreWhat 2015 Taught Me About The London Tech Scene
Jan 23, 7:50AM
You’d think that working in one of the world’s largest cities — especially one with a global rep for innovation and excellence — would make it pretty easy to get some traction. But that misses a vital point: London’s tech ecosystem is in its infancy. There’s a definite feeling here that working for a tech startup is cool — but that doesn’t mean… Read MoreProfit From A Profile On AngelList
Jan 23, 5:00AM
AngelList is the LinkedIn for startups; it’s a directory for finding and researching great startups. Many of the biggest seed venture capital firms and angel investors are on the list, and many use it to help them source and validate deals. But AngelList is also a crowdfunding platform, a way for startups and investors not only to connect with each other, but also to actually raise money.

Jan 23, 12:42AM
If you’re in the market for a new Samsung phone, this weekend might be the right time to go for it. Now through Saturday, Best Buy is offering a free Samsung Gear VR with the purchase of a qualifying Galaxy phone. Gear VR retails for $99, so this is definitely an awesome deal and a great way to get your hands at one of the only commercially available headsets. Now, you can’t just… Read MoreLendUp Scores $150M For A Credit Card That Won't Screw You Over
Jan 23, 12:29AM
Banks are so greedy that LendUp can undercut them, help people avoid debt, and still make a profit on its payday loans and credit card. Not only is software eating finance, but morality is too. LendUp’s slogan is “Ladders Not Chutes”. Building a business that doesn’t try to exploit everyone has not only brought it years of double-digit monthly growth. LendUp has now… Read MoreGravit Lets You Illustrate In Your Abode Or On The Road
Jan 22, 7:51PM
There have been plenty of tools around that replace powerful photo editors but very few that replace tools like Illustrator. Sure you can fake it but what if you want truly unique designs like the one above? Pretty tough. Gravit is a design tool that resides deep within the cloud and lets you create documents, advertisements, and illustrations within your browser. Created by Alexander Adam,… Read MoreApple Has A New Apple TV Ad, And It's All About Apps
Jan 22, 7:50PM
Apple has released a new TV spot for the Apple TV. Compared to previous ads that were focused on content, this time, it’s about apps and the Apple TV App Store. This is interesting for a few reasons. Apple has used the app angle when it first introduced the new Apple TV. But does a TV App Store make sense?

Jan 22, 7:48PM
A new documentary entitled Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World is being premiered at Sundance tomorrow. I’ve already written up my impressions of the film, which is very good and very different from other documentaries about the Internet you may have seen. Read MoreA Day After Launch, "Exploding Kittens" Tops The App Store
Jan 22, 7:43PM
“Exploding Kittens,” the hugely successful Kickstarter-funded card game from ex-Microsofties Elan Lee and Shane Small along with The Oatmeal’s creator Matthew Inman, has now been translated into a mobile game. And that game is now exploding onto the App Store, too, having scored the #1 Paid App slot only a day after launching. The game, as you may recall, became one… Read MoreSpaceX Tested Its Capsule That Will Send Humans To Space
Jan 22, 7:41PM
Yesterday, SpaceX released a video showing a successful hover test of its human-rated spacecraft, Crew Dragon. If all goes according to plan, in 2017, Crew Dragon will be placed on top of a Falcon 9 and send astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). The test, which was completed in McGregor, Texas, back in November, analyzed the spacecraft’s ability to fire its SuperDraco… Read MoreWhy Cloud Computing Will Shake Up Security
Jan 22, 7:00PM
As the curtain opens on 2016, you can expect massive changes in the security landscape. Technology providers such as firewall vendors, switching vendors and others will fade as new solutions better suited to the cloud computing environment emerge. On the flip side, companies that provide encryption and anti-malware technologies will continue to see their fortunes rise because the demand… Read MoreMeet The Apps Vying For The Crunchie For Best Mobile App Of 2015
Jan 22, 6:00PM
The 9th Annual Crunchies are right around the corner.

They’ll be hoping to win a Crunchie award in one of 12 categories up for grabs at this year’s show. Read MoreAfter 30 Days, The FAA Has Now Registered Almost 300K Drone Owners
Jan 22, 5:50PM
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today announced that almost 300,000 drone owners have now used its online registration system. The site went live 30 days ago and until today, the FAA would refund the $5 registration fee. The biggest rush of registrations probably came in the first couple of days (about 45,000 people registered in the first two days after the site opened), but the… Read MoreIf at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
