How To Train Your Human: Designing For Healthier Habits
Feb 20, 11:00PM
Cues, such as boredom, hunger, an activity, a time, or an emotion trigger us to do certain actions or routines. When we complete that routine, we get a physical or an emotional reward. Doing this often enough gets us into a habit forming loop. Read MoreA Timeline Of Apple's iPhone Unlocking Fight With The FBI
Feb 20, 10:22PM
After a California judge ordered Apple to unlock the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino terrorists last week, a lot has happened. We’ve summarized the whole Apple vs. FBI saga into one timeline so you can either dig deeper into last week’s events, or just quickly catch your self up.

Feb 20, 9:49PM
FOVE, an eye-tracking VR headset company, announced today that due to unexpected difficulties in part-sourcing it will be delaying the expected ship date of its Kickstarter-backed HMD to fall 2016. Likely to be more upsetting to many of the developer backers, the HMD is losing support for HTC’s Lighthouse system and instead will be building its own positional tracking system. The… Read MoreJapan Launches Observatory To Study Black Holes And Dying Stars
Feb 20, 7:30PM
This week the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully launched a new space observatory designed to study black holes, dying stars and the history of galaxy clusters. The X-ray Astronomy Satellite, known as ASTRO-H, will be able to detect X-rays more than 10 times fainter than its telescope predecessor, Suzaku. ASTRO-H was launched on the Japanese launch vehicle H-IIA from… Read MoreGillmor Gang: ScuttleBot

Feb 20, 7:00PM
In this corner: A number of employers, particularly tech companies, who claim they have a large number of unfilled positions and can’t find enough skilled American workers to fill all their needs, and thus need to attract skilled foreign workers through an expanded H-1B visa program. In the opposite corner: Immigration skeptics, including probably every unemployed programmer in the… Read MoreEquiPay: "Reparations, One Meal At A Time"
Feb 20, 4:16PM
EquiPay, a bill-splitting app that accounts for racial and gender income inequalities, is on its way to becoming a reality, after starting as a joke at Cultivated Wit’s Comedy Hack Day. With EquiPay, the idea is “reparations, one meal at a time,” so instead of splitting meals equally among friends, it’s about splitting them equitably. In March, the plan is to make an… Read MoreIt's Time For Edtech Entrepreneurs To Throw Out Stale Business Models
Feb 20, 4:00PM
We hear it again and again: The U.S. K-12 education system is in crisis. In its 2015 report, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, otherwise known as “The Nation’s Report Card,” revealed that just one-third of eighth graders and one-quarter of twelfth graders performed at or above “proficient” in math. In reading comprehension, the performance was… Read MoreWe Now Return You To Your Regularly Scheduled Cyberpunk Dystopia
Feb 20, 2:00PM
Apple will lose this battle with the US government. Maybe not this year, or next, but soon enough, and for the rest of our lives. It is folly to pretend otherwise. Most ordinary people, and most powerful people, don’t care about abstruse theoretical arguments against back doors and weakened security. They care about—or want to exploit—the raw visceral fear of terrorist violence. Read MoreTesla Motors Finally Owns Tesla.com
Feb 20, 9:28AM
Tesla.com is now in the hands of Elon Musk. Stu Grossman owned the domain since 1992 but it mostly sat unused. As of February 19, 2016, it redirects visitors to TeslaMotors.com and all is right with the world. The story goes that Grossman bought the domain because of his affinity to the legendary engineer. Apparently he was going to turn it into a fan site. That didn’t happen. The details… Read MoreWhere Are They Now? Startup Battlefield Company PageCloud
Feb 20, 1:00AM
The beauty of content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, Wix, Weebly and others is in the ability to create and build a complete website using just your browser. Designers are given the flexibility to make changes to their websites using simple browser-based tools, which means they don’t need to learn desktop tools like Dreamweaver or Photoshop or web programming languages like… Read MoreApple Executives Detail Scope Of FBI Request And Company's Motivations For Not Complying
Feb 20, 12:07AM
In a call with reporters today, Apple executives spoke in response to a motion the Justice Department filed today to force Apple to comply with a request from the FBI to provide access to the iPhone of Syed Farook taken as evidence in the case of the San Bernardino terrorist killings. Read MoreThe Mobile Electorate
Feb 20, 12:00AM
In 2008, Barack Obama redrafted the electioneering script, becoming the first presidential candidate to use social media as a political channel. His opponents’ failure to grasp the significance of social media proved as catastrophic as Richard Nixon’s dismissive attitude to television in 1960 — an attitude that probably cost him the 1960 election to the more telegenic John F.

Feb 19, 11:23PM
Salesforce has made another acquisition to build out its technology in machine learning and big data analytics: the company has acquired PredictionIO, a startup based out of Palo Alto that had developed an open source-based machine learning server. Salesforce plans to use some of the tech to build out Salesforce’s own machine learning capabilities as part of SalesforceIQ, both in-house… Read MoreExtra Early-Bird Tickets To Disrupt NY Extended To February 24
Feb 19, 11:00PM

We’re extending the deadline on our extra early-bird tickets to next Wednesday, February 24, so you have a few extra days to save $200 before early-bird pricing takes effect next week.

Feb 19, 10:20PM
Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic unveiled its new SpaceShipTwo rocket plane today. This is the latest version the company has revealed to the public since their deadly crash during a test flight with the previous version. In a tweet, Virgin Galactic specified that the new vessel , the VSS Unity, was actually named by Stephen Hawking who also expressed enthusiasm for the future of… Read MoreFacebook Now Lets You Use Multiple Accounts On Messenger For Android
Feb 19, 10:14PM
Lets say you’ve got kids. They like Messenger for talking with other kids about Minecraft or bubble gum or whatever kids talk about these days. You’re happy to let them use Messenger in the evenings, but they’re not quite old enough for a phone of their own just yet. What to do? Facebook has simplified things a bit, adding support for multiple Messenger accounts on one device. Read More
Donald Trump Says You Should Boycott Apple
Feb 19, 9:51PM
Presidential candidate Donald Trump is stepping up his criticism of Apple over its fight with the FBI. As you can see in the footage below (reportedly shot at a campaign event in Pawleys Island, South Carolina), Trump was discussing the need to bring overseas jobs back to the United States when he gets sidetracked by mentioning Apple. “What I think you ought to do is boycott Apple until… Read MoreApple vs. FBI

Feb 19, 9:00PM
Venture capital-backed insurance success stories have risen at a regular drumbeat over the last few years: 2011 brought the billion-dollar Esurance acquisition, 2012 brought the wildly successful Guidewire IPO, 2013 brought the large Climate Corp. acquisition and 2014-2015 brought Zenefits to prominence. Each of these companies pulls a piece of the insurance industry kicking and screaming into… 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.
