Feb 24, 1:35AM
With Disrupt NY 2016 fast approaching, TechCrunch takes a look back at companies that have competed in the Startup Battlefield in previous years.

Feb 24, 12:58AM
Ready to feel bad for a pile of circuit boards? Wait ’til about a minute and twenty seconds into this video. That robot you see being pushed around is the latest generation of Atlas, the insanely advanced humanoid robot as built by the Google-owned Boston Dynamics. (Don’t feel too bad, by the way: they’re hitting stuff out of Atlas’ hands and pushing him around to test… Read MoreDon't Dread Data Ethics And Governance
Feb 24, 12:00AM
Data ethics is a subject our industry has largely ignored, avoided and failed to acknowledge as important. This neglect is almost certainly caused by fear — fear that examining the question would expose us as doing wrong; fear that ethics might stifle innovation; fear that the ethical questions are insoluble and intractable. Read MoreBranded.me Adds Social Features And Blogging To Its Personal Website Builder
Feb 23, 11:26PM
Branded.me* isn’t just a website builder anymore — it’s adding tools allowing users to connect with other users and publish their own content. CEO Nick Macario said the site’s goal is to be “the creative platform for professionals” — in other words, it’s where professionals can take full control of how they present themselves to the online world.… Read MoreOnline Travel Platform KimKim Brings Back The Travel Agent
Feb 23, 11:19PM
Sometimes, there can be a little too much disruption. So goes the thesis of Joost Schreve, the former head of mobile for TripAdvisor, who left the company last November and started his own startup, KimKim, in December. The nascent company — seed-funded with $1 million from investors, including NFX Guild — is catering to the presumably many people who no long want… Read MoreEtsy Shares Spike 13% As It Reports Strong Revenue In Fourth Quarter
Feb 23, 9:36PM
Etsy didn’t have a good 2015, but it was still able to finish on the stronger side. Today the company reported its fourth-quarter results, coming in at $87.9 million in revenue and a loss of 4 cents per share. Analysts were expecting a loss of 1 cent per share on revenue of $86.5 million. Another important number to track here was the company’s gross merchandise sales (GMS)… Read MorePocket Wants You To Read Ads Later Too
Feb 23, 9:21PM
But these aren’t the crappy click-bait you see below lots of blog posts. “We’re being very choosy” Pocket founder Nate Weiner tells me. “We don’t want this to become the bottom of the barrel content.” If Pocket can convince users that these articles would be worthy of appearing in its app even if it wasn’t sponsored, it could become the home for… Read MoreWhy NASA Received A Record Number Of Astronaut Applications And What They Can Expect Next
Feb 23, 9:07PM
Over 18,300 people have applied to join NASA’s latest astronaut class, breaking the previous record of 8,000 submissions set in 1978.

Each of these hopefuls is competing to be in the newest class of 14 astronauts who will ultimately fly on one of NASA’s next spacecraft. Read MoreSpotify Announces Google Cloud Platform Partnership
Feb 23, 8:51PM
Spotify announced today on their news blog that they have selected Google Cloud Platform as an infrastructure partner for their popular music streaming service. Up until now, it appears Spotify has been managing that hardware burden themselves via multiple providers and data centers (including Amazon Web Services for whom they were an AWS case study). However the music company feels the… Read MoreHere's What It's Like To Set Up An On-Demand Geofilter On Snapchat
Feb 23, 8:49PM
Yesterday Snapchat opened up a new revenue stream in the form of on-demand geofilters. The new on-demand geofilters let anyone pay Snapchat to create and distribute a custom filter in a specific area for a set time. We wanted to see how quick and easy it was to launch a custom filter, so we decided to create one at TechCrunch HQ in San Francisco. Here’s what the process was like.

Feb 23, 8:42PM
CloudFlare, the security-focused content delivery network, already protects its customers from DDoS attacks and other attacks, but today, the company is taking another step to ensure its customers remain in control of their sites. CloudFlare is launching a domain registry service — CloudFlare Registrar — that protects high-profile sites from domain hijackings and domain… Read MoreFitbit Remains The Worldwide Leader In Wearables, But Xiaomi Is Quickly Gaining
Feb 23, 8:15PM
Fitbit has long been the king of wearables and an IDC report released today says James Park and Co. still wear the crown. But Xiaomi is quickly gaining power. A lot of power. Fitbit managed to ship 21 million devices in 2015, up 93.2% over 2014’s amount of 10.9 million units. That said, even by shipping nearly twice as many units, Fitbit still lost marketshare. Over the same time period… Read MoreWith 12 Other Active Cases, The FBI Can't Claim That It's Just About One iPhone
Feb 23, 8:08PM
The FBI and the Department of Justice have used a strong narrative to defend their case in the dispute between the FBI and Apple. The FBI wants Apple to unlock an iPhone 5c belonging to one of the terrorists involved in the San Bernardino shooting. According to the FBI, it’s just about one iPhone. And yet, that argument doesn’t have too much credence given that there are currently… Read MoreNova Powers Your Sales Leads With Artificially Intelligent Personalization
Feb 23, 7:59PM
Sometimes generating leads is about finding connections wherever you can. “I went to school at X too!” “X is a great cause, my brother has done some work with them also.” And so on and so forth. The problem for salespeople is braving the firehose of information available online to find these connection points easily and quickly. YC-backed Nova is an email analytics… Read MoreVictorinox Announces The INOX Cybertool, A Clip-On Smartwatch
Feb 23, 7:56PM
If you need to turn your dumb watch into a smartwatch and don’t mind a parasitic ring of plastic attached to your analog timepiece, then Victorinox and Acer have you covered. The Cybertool offers multiple timezone displays, activity monitoring, and call and message notifications that appear on the ring around the watch. A Help function transmits your current GPS coordinates to a… Read MoreFamous, Formerly The Controversial People-Trading App Stolen, Hits Android After App Store Ban
Feb 23, 7:51PM
The creators of a buzzy but controversial mobile game called Stolen, which let users buy and sell Twitter profiles as if they were trading cards, proactively shut their application down after responding to criticism that its game mechanics allowed for abuse and bullying. The company then revamped its concept, taking into consideration the opinions of anti-bullying experts, to release a kindler… Read MoreReminder: Extra Early-Bird Ticket Sales For Disrupt NY End Tomorrow
Feb 23, 7:00PM
We’ve given you an extension, and if you’re still procrastinating on getting Disrupt New York 2016 tickets at the lowest possible price point, the time to act is now. Extra early-bird tickets are on sale now through February 24 at the deeply-discounted price of $1,795 per ticket. That’s a full $1,200 off the final retail price of $2,995, and $200 less than they’ll be if… Read MoreMaking The Southeast Asian Travel Connection

Feb 23, 6:03PM
Twitter is launching a new mobile application for developers that use Fabric, its development platform, that enables them to track the health of their apps. Tracking the health of an app can be particularly tricky when away from a computer. Developers often need to rely on dashboards and other tools to ensure that things are running smoothly, which don’t lend themselves well to mobile… 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.
