Why Quartz's news app is so much bigger than news
Mar 23, 3:00AM
Have you tried the Quartz News app, yet? Please do. Imagine a text conversation with a bot that sends you a news topic. You’re then presented with two choices: Either tap a string of relevant (and surprisingly entertaining) emojis, which is like pressing “learn more,” or tap an “anything else?” button to have another topic served. Read MoreAll 60 startups that launched at Y Combinator Winter 2016 Demo Day 1
Mar 23, 1:08AM
“You’ll notice we have many more startups that aren’t in the traditional software category,” said Y Combinator President Sam Altman at the start of its Winter 2016 Demo Day 1. While once upon a time YC was known for legions of social and marketplace apps no one needed, it’s branched out. Now Silicon Valley’s top accelerator features tons of hardware… Read MoreFamous dodges Apple iTunes ban with web app
Mar 23, 12:46AM
The Famous app got itself banned from Apple’s App Store about a month ago. They sidestepped the ban by promptly launching an Android version instead, and is today back on an iOS device near you in the form of a web app. For the new version, the company recycled much of the game mechanics, minus the commenting and chat functionality that made it prime bullying real estate. Read MoreInstagram beefs up web interface with notifications tab
Mar 23, 12:04AM
Instagram began as a mobile-only service, but now it’s enhancing its web version so you can use the service without opening your phone. Today Instagram rolled out an Activity tab on web that’s identical to the notifications tab inside its app. Here you’ll be able to see who Liked or commented on your posts, or who followed you or tagged you. It’s now available to all… Read MoreNew findings from Pluto mission reveal a dynamic world
Mar 22, 11:18PM
The New Horizons science team has published new findings from their mission to Pluto in a series of 5 articles in the journal Science. The data from the papers reveal that Pluto is much more geologically diverse and dynamic than anyone could have imagined. “These five detailed papers completely transform our view of Pluto – revealing the former ‘astronomer’s… Read MoreReview: Master & Dynamic's MW60 makes wireless headphones look cool again
Mar 22, 11:15PM
Master & Dynamic is known in the audiophile space as the “newbies” — but they’ve made a name for themselves. The headphones seen here are the company’s latest offering, but also their first Bluetooth pair. The fanfare has been resolute: it’s been continuously sold out since its launch earlier this year. But are they just a fad, or quality product? Read MoreWhy you should fear artificial intelligence
Mar 22, 10:00PM
I have voraciously read endless pro and con scenarios about artificial intelligence since first writing about it years ago. There is no doubt that concerns about the dangers of runaway AI raised by Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates, Bill Joy and others are genuine. There also is no doubt whatsoever that the new organizations aimed at mitigating the dangers are extremely important… Read MoreTruebill raises seed funding to help you cancel unwanted subscriptions
Mar 22, 9:42PM
Truebill, a startup that helps people track and cancel their subscriptions, announced it has raised a small round of seed funding. The round includes $120,000 from Y Combinator, with additional funding from angel investors like David Marcus (formerly a PayPal executive and now vice president of messaging products at Facebook), KISSmetrics co-founder Hiten Shah and Saba founder Bobby Yazdani… Read MoreBatteries and all, EVs are greener than gasoline
Mar 22, 9:36PM
Electric vehicles come out of the gate with green cred. They don’t even have tailpipes because they don’t have any emissions while they’re driving. But do EVs deserve their goody-too-green rep? A report from the Union of Concerned Scientists says they do indeed. Even if you take into account the battery, the manufacturing process and even the recycling and disposal process,… Read MoreAdobe announces new data-sharing effort for cross-device ad targeting
Mar 22, 9:09PM
Adobe unveiled a new push for cross-device targeting today at its Adobe Summit. Amit Ahuja, the general manager of data management for Adobe Marketing, explained the product to me beforehand, and he laid out the problem in a pretty straightforward manner: “If you don’t know who the user is across different devices, clearly that’s broken.” So at a basic level, the aim… Read MoreFacebook joins WhatsApp in dropping BlackBerry support
Mar 22, 8:55PM
Blackberry-loving device clutchers are facing a tricky choice if they wish to continue to interact with their friends: WhatsApp, Facebook and Facebook Messenger hit the “unfriend” button on the struggling phone maker’s latest operating system. WhatsApp made a half-hearted debut on the Blackberry platform three years ago, and announced at the tail-end of last month an end to… Read MoreDomo takes on Slack with $130 million at $2 billion+ valuation
Mar 22, 8:51PM
Utah-based Domo has been a force in the enterprise space for a few years with its data management platforms, but the team is poised for growth with an additional $130 million in Series D funding from existing and new investors, including BlackRock, Credit Suisse and others. These $130 million are an addition to Domo’s previously announced $200 million Series D round. The company says it… Read More8tracks is raising a $30 million crowdfunding round
Mar 22, 7:43PM
Music startup 8tracks has always had a strong sense of community. But the startup is taking this one step further by raising $30 million from its own community. Instead of asking money from venture capitalists, the company has started an equity crowdfunding campaign on SeedInvest and it’s been working well. Around 30,000 community members have committed to invest $1,000 each to get a… Read MoreThe 9.7-inch iPad Pro is slightly slower than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro
Mar 22, 7:05PM
Apple doesn’t like to talk about specs. But it turns out my boss Matthew Panzarino already has review units of the new iPad Pro and iPhone SE. So nobody is going to stop us if we want to run Geekbench on these new devices. The result is both interesting and unsurprising. While the 9.7-inch iPad Pro features an A9X chip like its big brother, it’s a bit underclocked. Read MoreLoverly raises $2 million more to put a wedding planner in your pocket
Mar 22, 6:53PM
A new service from the online wedding inspiration startup Loverly wants to put the capabilities of a wedding planner right in your pocket. Officially launching today, Loverly is unveiling a new chat-based “concierge” service that will send brides and grooms a list of vetted wedding vendors that match the couple’s budget, needs and who have availability for the wedding date… Read MoreHouzz opens its Commerce API to third-party vendors
Mar 22, 6:00PM
Houzz, the home remodelling site with a focus on giving you house envy, today announced that it is opening up its Commerce API for third-party developers. While you may mostly look at Houzz as a mobile app and website that features beautiful home remodelling photography in an effort to connect you to the professionals behind these projects, the service also features a thriving marketplace… Read MoreDavid Lee is back with a new fund: Refactor Capital
Mar 22, 5:55PM
David Lee, a former Google executive who for several years ran the seed-stage venture fund SV Angel, is back with his own new firm, shows an SEC filing. The outfit is called Refactor Capital and it’s apparently targeting $50 million for its debut fund. Refactor, which was incorporated seven months ago, doesn’t appear to have a site up and running yet. But the SEC filing lists… Read MoreGoogle Photos gets smarter, automatically creates albums with your best photos
Mar 22, 4:51PM
Google rolled out a small but useful update to its Google Photos service today, which will allow the creation of what Google calls “smarter albums.” These are photo albums automatically created on users’ behalf, following an event or a trip, and will include a curated selection of your best shots, along with details like how far you traveled, or location pins to help you… Read MoreWhy the Apple Watch price cut is smart thinking
Mar 22, 4:49PM
Last week Apple co-founder and general all-round-nice-guy Steve Wozniak made headlines via a Reddit AMA in which he was quoted as criticizing the Apple Watch for taking the company into “the jewelry market.” This week Apple made a few headlines of its own, including its announcement of a $50 price cut of said smart watch. The new entry level price for picking up Apple’s… Read MoreNFL Films and Amazon Video to release 'All or Nothing' NFL reality show this summer
Mar 22, 4:47PM
NFL Films has just announced a new television series destined for Amazon Video called All or Nothing. The idea here is to show the behind-the-scenes reality of a team of professional football players, coaches and staff as they live through an NFL season, with all the week-by-week drama that includes. The show will air exclusively on Amazon Video. The first season, set to air later this… 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.
