Reddit's firing up a thread on the Panama Papers leak
Apr 04, 3:12AM
The good folks at Reddit are already getting their Redditors fired up about the massive document dump we reported earlier this evening.

Apr 03, 11:30PM
One of the most important lessons that Silicon Valley learned, that gives it a strategic advantage, is to think bigger than products and business models: it builds platforms.

Companies such… Read MoreDocuments leaked from a Panamanian law firm reveal a global web of corruption
Apr 03, 10:11PM

Apr 03, 8:00PM
Insurance policies can be complex, and some policyholders may not understand all the fees and coverages included in a policy. Indeed, people typically buy policies on unfavorable terms. In 2014, two major insurers, Blue Shield and Cigna of California, were sued for misrepresentation of the coverage network, which caused delays for their consumers in accessing needed health care. Yet,… Read MoreVirtual reality is about to go mainstream, but a lack of content threatens to hold it back
Apr 03, 7:00PM
Technology is surrounding us; its surface is becoming more complex, pliable and familiar to the eye. Virtual reality is no longer creeping into the mainstream: It’s leaping. Though the industry is giddy with the potential of VR, the consumer is still a step away from being able to enjoy a virtual experience while riding the bus.

Apr 03, 6:30PM

Apr 03, 3:00PM
For many, the promise of digital advertising is the wealth of information that comes with every impression they buy. However, all this data becomes virtually useless when marketers employ the wrong success metrics for their campaigns. Read MoreHollywood vs. VR
Apr 03, 1:00PM
Let us all take a moment to celebrate the remarkable resilience of Hollywood. As “the music industry finds itself fighting over pennies while waving goodbye to dollars,” to quote the New York Times; as the publishing industry finds itself increasingly eclipsed by Amazon; as “the number of people watching TV is falling off a cliff,” as Business Insider puts it —… Read MoreRobinHood's chief executive on the importance of design in fintech
Apr 03, 11:30AM
In this podcast, chief executive Baiju Bhatt discusses what it was about their initial value proposition that made so many users convert, and the integral role design plays at RobinHood. Read MoreThe death of 'Internet'
Apr 03, 4:56AM
On April 2, the folks responsible for the entries in the Associated Press Stylebook announced that the word “Internet” will no longer be uppercased, thus breaking my heart and making some of our writers very happy. Read MoreThe gig economy as a driver of innovation
Apr 03, 3:00AM
If you are reading this article, chances are you have taken an Uber, are familiar with Upwork and maybe even sold something on Etsy.

Read MoreIoT and the development of a circular economy
Apr 02, 11:00PM
Few topics receive greater hype in the media today than the Internet of Things (IoT), and still a report produced by McKinsey & Co. last summer argued that the potential impact of IoT technologies might actually be understated. An estimated economic impact of $3.9-11.1 trillion a year by 2025 was the bottom line of McKinsey’s research. Read More
Blue Origin releases video from third launch and landing of New Shepard
Apr 02, 8:25PM
Remember when Blue Origin made history by vertically landing a rocket after launching it into space? Remember when they reused that same rocket and then landed it again? Well, today Jeff Bezos’ rocket company, once again, launched that very same New Shepard rocket and successfully landed it for a third time. At 11:28 AM EST, Bezos announced the successful landing of the New Shepard… Read MoreWhy it's so easy to ignore your to-do list app but get distracted by Twitter
Apr 02, 7:00PM
I’ve spent the past month in a daze, trying to make sense of my own tasks and responsibilities while forcing myself to adhere to a system I came up with that simply doesn’t work. You can never anticipate how your “perfectly designed” task-management system can fail. It’s our own nature — we’re so sure of ourselves — that makes us think our idea… Read MoreCiti Field, home of the New York Mets, gets some upgrades
Apr 02, 4:00PM
TechCrunch went out to the ballpark this week — specifically Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. Granted, it wasn’t the most tech-centric event, but the stadium has seen some changes between seasons — including the addition of a big LED Coca-Cola sign, which looms over the new Coca-Cola Corner in right field. Apparently, the sign is the second largest “freeform… Read MoreMoneyball is dead. Long live Moneyball!
Apr 02, 3:00PM
While it seems the term has been around baseball forever, the concept of “moneyball” – coined to describe the Oakland Athletics’ approach to building competitive teams despite being hamstrung with one of the sport’s lowest payrolls – entered the popular lexicon with Michael Lewis’ Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, in 2003 (followed by the… Read More11 TechCrunch stories you don't want to miss this week

Apr 02, 2:00PM
The last few years have seen an explosion of interest in machine learning technology and potential applications. As a non-expert you’ve probably either had to assess ML technology for your product and business or as a potential investment. The jargon around machine learning technology is vast, confusing, and unfortunately increasingly being hijacked by overeager sales teams. Read More5 apps that could help you in an earthquake
Apr 02, 10:30AM
