Mar 06, 8:00PM
It’s being predicted that by the end of this year, mobile payment transactions in the U.S. will grow 210 percent. Despite this impressive gain, it turns out that not everyone is taking advantage of mobile payments. Why aren’t more people enjoying the convenience and ease of mobile payments? Some have said that the system for money exchange in the mobile world was broken before… Read MoreAutodesk CEO Carl Bass on investing in the future
Mar 06, 4:56PM
A year ago, the design-focused software firm Autodesk announced it would stop selling standalone perpetual licenses of its desktop software and instead sell subscriptions. Early last month, it began implementing that switch, a move that will be complete by mid-year, when the company’s older products will no longer be available. Perhaps unsurprisingly, as part of its… Read MoreCognitive correction and creating better human-to-machine interaction
Mar 06, 4:00PM
The lifetime of the computer has been marked by an ongoing struggle to communicate with the machine. When two human conversational participants come from different languages, true communication only occurs when one can learn to speak in the language of the other. At the beginning of the history of computation, it was the human who had to use the language of the machine; early programmers… Read MoreThere's more to early-stage funding than VC money
Mar 06, 3:00AM
Good companies will always get funded. If that’s your company, it’s important to make sure you have the resources to keep it alive long enough to get funded. Murmurs of a looming downturn in venture capital are pressuring more companies to preemptively begin fundraising, whether or not they have gained sufficient traction to justify their stated valuations. Read MoreCan you take the Internet out of the Internet of Things?
Mar 06, 12:00AM
The Internet of Things and the Internet might seem inextricably linked, but, increasingly, there are questions centered around how IoT devices should work with one another — and what happens when the Internet connection goes down? Read More3 signs you'll soon be attending a coding bootcamp at your college
Mar 05, 7:00PM
It all started as an alternative to the traditional college education. Now they’ve caught the eyes of deans across the country.

Mar 05, 4:00PM
An Austin-based venture capital firm recently offered my company $400,000 for 40 percent of its equity. This was one week before their counterpart in the Bay Area offered $2 million for 20 percent of the same company. Nothing had changed in that week, and both received the same pitch and deck in the weeks prior. Read MoreMIT spin-out Thunkable hopes its drag-and-drop app builder can be a money-spinner too
Mar 05, 2:58PM
Bagging lots of users is a challenge one of the startups in Y Combinator’s 2016 winter batch is worrying about a bit less than the average. The two-man strong founder team of Thunkable is coming from the rather more comfortable position of already having fostered a community over four million strong — thanks to the drag-and-drop app builder interface they helped developed at MIT… Read MoreOn the war between hacker culture and codes of conduct
Mar 05, 2:00PM
Did you know that a Code of Conduct war is underway in the world of open-source software development? I realize that this sounds ridiculous. Codes of Conduct boil down to: “a) don’t be an asshole, b) this is how we define ‘asshole’ around these parts”. Who could argue with that? And yet this has become eruptively controversial — and with good reason. Read MoreAmazon says it will bring device encryption back to Fire OS
Mar 05, 8:41AM
Less than a day after it emerged that Amazon had quietly dropped device encryption support for its Fire tablets and other Fire OS devices, the U.S. firm has flip-flopped and said that it will restore the feature. Read MoreWant to compete with Salesforce? Buy Marketo
Mar 05, 4:00AM
There are several enterprise players that want a share of Salesforce’s business, but just aren’t making headway by knuckling up against the company’s dominant, entrenched SaaS CRM offerings. Rather than competing head on, a smarter approach for these businesses is to “front door” Salesforce, instead. Read MorePayPal makes money every time you use Uber, Airbnb
Mar 05, 3:23AM
PayPal has been going through some big changes since separating from eBay last year. The company recently introduced a redesigned app and is now monetizing its popular peer-to-peer payments app, Venmo. Already with 18 million users, PayPal is expanding its One Touch checkout to 120 new countries. And they are doubling down on Braintree, which powers the mobile transactions on Uber, Airbnb… Read MoreHow to politely ask people to get the f*ck off their phones
Mar 05, 2:00AM
You’re with a small group of friends at a nice restaurant. Everyone is enjoying the food and conversation when someone decides to take out his phone — not for an urgent call, but to check email, Instagram and Facebook. Maybe you’ve witnessed this behavior and found it unsettling. What do you do? Do you sit idly by, thinking disparaging thoughts? Or do you call out the offender?

Mar 05, 1:45AM
Today at 6:35pm EST, SpaceX successfully launched the SES-9 communications satellite into Geostationary orbit (GEO). Launching the SES-9 payload was the primary goal of today’s mission, but many had their eyes back on the ground for what would have been the first successful landing of a rocket on a drone ship in the ocean. Unfortunately, however, the rocket landing was… Read MoreLegal battles loom as technological ubiquity creates tensions between privacy and security
