Mar 10, 1:00AM
As the Internet and global commerce speed the flow of information, and as products and services for American consumers can be built in and delivered from just about any country in the world, there are fewer and fewer incentives for companies to locate their businesses here. But there is one competitive advantage we have that is driving global businesses to locate and create jobs here in… Read MoreEditas biotech stock drops by 26 percent over CRISPR patent dispute

Gene editing outfit Editas has been one of the most successful tech IPOs of 2016 so far, with shares skyrocketing up 130 percent shortly after the company’s public debut. But the stock has now plummeted nearly 26 percent in after-hours trading over concerns it might not be able to legally use the technology it’s built upon.

Mar 09, 9:32PM
Square, which has been on a bit of a run lately, posted a quarter where it beat revenue estimates and saw its shares pop slightly after it reported its fourth-quarter earnings. This was Square’s first time reporting quarterly earnings as a public company, and it looks like the results weren’t that bad, aside from a miss on earnings expectations. Square reported an adjusted loss of… Read MoreBox soars 13 percent on earnings beat

Cloud storage company Box reported fourth-quarter earnings after the bell on Wednesday, sending the stock up 13 percent in after-hours trading.

Mar 09, 9:26PM
If Oculus has its way, the virtual reality space may grow to be the next major social space for far-flung friends to dive in and hang out. Starting tomorrow, users on the Gear VR platform will be able to create their own user profiles and search for friends by username who they can interact with in virtual space. The company announced in a blog post an effort (very similar-sounding to one… Read MoreHere's a video of the least interesting self-driving car accident ever
Mar 09, 8:59PM
Back on February 14th, Google’s self-driving car had its first fender bender to occur while the car’s AI was in control. The Associated Press managed to get footage of the accident from the bus’ own cameras and… well… it’s (fortunately for all involved) about as mundane as the original accident reports made it sound. At one point, the bus driver appears to… Read MoreStowaway Cosmetic's Chelsa Crowley on her "right size" makeup empire

Mar 09, 8:02PM
It’s a tough world out there for on-demand startups — confusion around the W2 versus 1099 conversation, tough margins and customer service are but a few of the initial obstacles for these companies. Add in the necessity of huge amounts of up-front capital and it’s an uphill battle at best. But trust me, the on-demand economy will survive and eventually prevail, and 2016… Read MoreFinding financial health in the gig economy
Mar 09, 8:00PM
So, you’re cruising down the highway with your latest fare, making money whenever you choose to turn on your engine. But that 1099 economy you’re so fond of should come with a warning: Steep Drop-off Ahead. Why? Because with the gig economy comes an entire set of income volatility issues — and if you’re not being smart about it, the state of your financial health could… Read MoreNom.com, a foodie-focused live video network from YouTube's Steve Chen, launches with $4.7M

Mar 09, 7:00PM
A few months ago, Google pivoted Google+ away from being a basic social network and put a focus on content curation instead. To reward the most interesting and active users on its service, Google today launched the Google+ Create program. Google says that since it launched the redesigned Google+ in November, the number of Collection follows has more than doubled. This means more people… Read MoreGoogle joins the Open Compute Project

Google unexpectedly launched the Android N Developer Preview today. And to make things even easier for developers — and adventurous users — the preview is available as an over-the-air update.
