Samsung expects solid first-quarter results as the Galaxy S7 enjoys strong sales
Apr 07, 5:05AM
After sounding a dour note in its last earnings report, Samsung Electronics issued unexpectedly upbeat quarterly guidance today. The company said it expects to report consolidated sales of about 49 trillion won and operating profit of about 6.6 trillion won in the first quarter of 2016. Read MoreIBM, Pfizer launch joint experiment to help measure Parkinson's symptoms using IoT and analytics
Apr 07, 4:01AM
What happens when you put a technology company together with a drug company and try to come up with unique new ways to understand Parkinson’s disease? You end up with a project that uses sensors on the body and in the home to provide continuous measurement of a patient’s symptoms and the impact they have on that person’s daily life, something that’s almost impossible to… Read MoreFintech's $138 billion opportunity
Apr 07, 3:00AM
Fintech is in the midst of a golden age of investment and innovation. According to KPMG and CB Insights, investments in fintech startups doubled between 2014 and 2015, to $14 billion. However, comparatively little of this money has been focused on the $138 billion market opportunity to disrupt alternative financial services in the United States. This lack of focus is damaging… Read MoreHow to deal with IoT challenges through abstraction
Apr 07, 1:00AM
The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the tech industry. Yet the way IoT is evolving raises serious concerns: There are too many complexities, moving parts, diversities and competing trends and technologies that must be managed when developing IoT solutions. One practical approach that could help deal with the complexities of IoT would be the use of the concept… Read MoreTech imitates art in a 3D printed fake Rembrandt based on the old master's style
Apr 07, 12:32AM
To attempt to create a program that successfully imitates the style of one of the greatest painters of all time is hubristic and doomed to fail, but those characteristics are just like catnip to the men and women at the bleeding edge of tech — and the result of their labors is remarkable and compelling. But is it art? (Yes. It’s definitely art.) Read MoreSmartling acquires Jargon to help mobile developers ready their apps for international markets
Apr 07, 12:19AM
Smartling, the translation tech company, has acquired TechStars alumni Jargon on Crunchbase which makes tools for mobile developers who want to “localize” their apps for different international markets, and the devices and app stores that are relevant in each one. New York-based Smartling is known for its “translation management system” software, and marketplace of… Read MoreYik Yak's CTO drops out as the hyped anonymous app stagnates
Apr 06, 11:24PM
Is Yik Yak a thing anymore? Not so much, according to download stats, traffic charts, surveys and a source that says the college app’s monthly user count has been declining. That source — with intimate knowledge of the company — also tipped me off that Yik Yak‘s original CTO Tom Chernetsky has bailed, which the startup now confirms. He’s not the only one who… Read MoreSharethrough grades your headlines with its new Hemingway tool
Apr 06, 9:00PM
Ask most writers and editors and I’ll bet they agree: Writing headlines is hard. It’s not easy to come up with something exciting and attention-grabbing that also conveys the important information about a story in just a few words. Meanwhile, brands and marketers are creating more of their own content, so they have to worry about this, too. Native advertising company Sharethrough… Read MoreGoogle's Torrence Boone joins the board of stock footage marketplace Pond5

Apr 06, 7:33PM
Upvotes! What are they good for? Soon, they might get your very, very early-stage company into Y Combinator. The incubator is experimenting with using the Hacker News community to pick startups for its Fellowship program. Read MoreThis new app lets you express your feelings with video memes, not GIFs
Apr 06, 7:16PM
Today, GIFs have become a popular way communicate sentiment online and in mobile messaging, where written text doesn’t always do the job. More expressive than an emoji, these looping images let you share a specific thought or feeling with little effort. But today, a new app is launching to see if video can step in where GIFs leave off, by allowing for a different means of expression.… Read MoreReddit introduces user-blocking tool to fight harassment and trolls
Apr 06, 7:15PM
Reddit is looking to shape itself a bit more around the needs of the individual user in order to make the community more accepting as a whole. Reddit users will soon be able to block and mute other users on the site so they can customize their experience, The New York Times reports. Reddit co-founder Christopher Slowe detailed the changes in an announcement on the site this morning.… Read MoreRev3 Founder David Prager forms new fund, Monstro Ventures, to back early-stage tech startups
Apr 06, 6:58PM
The team behind Monstro is launching a new microfund called Monstro Ventures, according to co-founder David Prager. For the unfamiliar, Monstro is an ad agency with headquarters in Oakland and another office in Los Angeles that specializes in video creative, including videos that get hype going around crowdfunding or launches of new tech products. Prager is best-known as the founder of… Read MoreSegment helps businesses integrate third-party sources into their data pipelines
Apr 06, 6:40PM
Segment helps developers manage all the analytics data their apps and services generate. Besides fanning out this information to analytics services like Google Analytics and Mixpanel, or marketing tools like Marketo, all this data lands in a data warehouse. At best, though, all this information only shows an incomplete view of a customer’s journey from landing page to purchase.… Read MoreTim Cook joins Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights' board
Apr 06, 6:24PM
Apple CEO Tim Cook is joining the board of directors of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, a nonprofit organization founded by the Kennedy family.

Apr 06, 5:51PM
On Monday, the Associated Press got early access to a report commissioned by the FAA on how drones flying over or near people should be categorized and restricted. Today, that report was officially released, with all the juicy (and boring) details you’ve come to expect from government task force briefings. Read MoreVideoStitch unveils the Orah 4i, a tiny 360 live streaming 4K camera
Apr 06, 5:03PM
There’s no shortage of 360 cameras on the market these days. If you have a desire to shoot immersive video and possess a ton of disposable income then there’s nothing stopping you! The issue is what happens to that content after it’s captured. I’d say 90% of the photos I take on my DSLR never make it off my camera to be seen by someone else. That problem is only… Read MoreCome to TechCrunch's pre-F8 Facebook developers meetup
