GifGrabber re-emerges as Giphy Capture
Apr 10, 12:44AM
It looks like some of the $55m Giphy raised recently was burning a hole in its pocket: GifGrabber is now part of the Giphy family, and the new version of the app turned up in the Mac App store today. Along with a name-change, the new version has a new capture system for high-definition GIFs, new editing controls making it easy to caption, resize and trim GIFs, and a revamped user interface.

Apr 09, 11:00PM
I’m impatient to see breakthroughs in cars. I have high expectations for what Apple will do and respect for what Tesla has already done. I agree with Peter Thiel on the we-were-promised-jet-cars-but-got-140-characters thing, and with Larry Page who worries that Silicon Valley doesn’t throw the ball down the field enough. Read MoreThe delayed revolution in digital financial services
Apr 09, 7:00PM
Technology has transformed how we work, communicate and travel. In contrast, modern digital technology has not yet transformed financial services. Open data is the key to change in this sector of the economy. The time has come for the financial services industry to join the open data revolution.

People often ask me about the impact of 3D printing on jobs. Will the technology be a job creator or destroyer? The short answer is, it will take more jobs than it makes — and 3D printing is not alone. Technology will eventually make work obsolete. Our big problems are going to be figuring out how to survive the transition, then figuring out what to do with all that free time. Read MoreDear Facebook, why are Facebook Comments so unremittingly terrible?
Apr 09, 1:00PM
For long months now, Facebook Comments have been riddled by some of the most transparent, eye-roll-inducing “I make a good salary working from home” spam you’ve ever seen. Every mail service can filter it out; but Facebook? Home to cutting-edge AI research, massively scalable services, some of the smartest software people in the world? Nope, spam appears to be beyond their… Read MoreWith EmoWatch your Apple Watch knows if you are :) or :(
Apr 09, 2:04AM
Siri is good for a lot of things, but she generally doesn’t care much whether you sound your usual perky self. Launching today is EmoWatch, a new app for your Apple Watch that will help you track your emotional state. EmoWatch is a technical demo for Smartmedical Corp’s Empath API, and it does what it needs to: Showing a read-out (in the form of a graph) of your moods throughout… Read More6 insights into the French SaaS landscape
Apr 09, 12:00AM
As a Berlin-based VC firm focused on SaaS, we often get questions about the current state of the European cloud software landscape. To be able to answer these questions more precisely we decided to analyze each major European ecosystem, starting with France. Our goal was to find all the relevant players in the French cloud ecosystem — from early-stage startups to large public companies. Read MoreWhite House announces the kids and projects of its 2016 Science Fair
Apr 08, 10:38PM
The annual White House Science Fair is always a heartening occasion. Watching President Obama ramble around and shoot the breeze (and sometimes marshmallows) with a bunch of smart, nerdy kids is entertaining, and the projects are often pretty impressive. This year’s fair is, of course, the last in the president’s term, and it promises to be a good one, if the list of exhibits… Read MoreSpaceX just landed a rocket on a drone ship for the first time
Apr 08, 10:01PM
At 4:43 pm EST, SpaceX successfully launched their next resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS). In addition to a seamless launch, SpaceX landed the first stage of their Falcon 9 rocket on an autonomous drone ship for the very first time. Landing from the chase plane pic.twitter.com/2Q5qCaPq9P — SpaceX (@SpaceX) April 8, 2016 This was SpaceX’s fifth landing… Read MoreAlphabet's secretive Schaft Inc. shows off new bipedal robot in Tokyo
Apr 08, 8:46PM
There’s a new bot in town (Tokyo, specifically), and while it might not be as cute as Nao, as creepy as Spot and BigDog, or as anthropomorphic as Atlas, it might be more practical than all of them. It walks on two legs, but not like a man, or even a bear. This one, designed by Alphabet-owned Schaft Inc, has its own uniquely robotic form of locomotion. Read MoreNew Facebook rules allow publishers and celebrities to share sponsored content
Apr 08, 8:15PM
As more and more online content ends up hosted on Facebook, it becomes more important for Facebook to provide ways for publishers and creators to make money. That’s why some changes announced today to the social network’s branded content and ads policies could be a big deal. Under the new rules, verified Facebook Pages can now share branded content (i.e., “any post —… Read MoreBMW just jumped into the U.S. car-sharing biz, with the help of YC alum RideCell
Apr 08, 7:46PM
BMW just launched a new car-sharing service called ReachNow that will enable Seattle residents to access 400 cars that they can pick up and drop off pretty much wherever they like, as long as that’s not on the outskirts of town. Eventually, the idea is to expand into cities nationwide. BMW’s isn’t a revolutionary concept at this point. Daimler has a similar service… Read MoreGeneral Catalyst's Phil Libin eyes bots with his first investment in stealth bot startup Begin
Apr 08, 7:10PM
Phil Libin has made his first investment since joining General Catalyst in a bot company called Begin that’s co-founded by GDGT co-founder Ryan Block, who left AOL Alpha in September last year to pursue the new venture. This is Libin’s first investment in bots, but it certainly wont be his last, as he will be primarily focusing on bots for the next few years. Begin will be… Read MoreChariot for Women is a new ridesharing service for women only
Apr 08, 7:03PM
Uber driver Michael Pelletz is launching a new ridesharing service with a twist: All the drivers and passengers will be women. Chariot for Women will be active in the Boston area on April 19. But does the world need another ridesharing service? Especially one so specific? It turns out maybe it does. “The premise is the same as all the other ridesharing services,” Pelletz said in… Read MoreWe're giving you one more week to save $1,000 on Disrupt NY tickets

Apr 08, 6:52PM
A draft version of a bill on encryption sponsored by Senators Burr and Feinstein has made its way to the internet, and it’s exactly as bad a proposed law as everyone worried it would be. The suspiciously (but mercifully) brief Compliance with Court Orders Act, as it stands in draft form, is the technological equivalent of requiring all pigs to fly. Read MoreWordPress.com turns on HTTPS encryption for all websites
Apr 08, 6:15PM
WordPress.com is adding HTTPS support for all its blogs. If you have a custom domain or have a blog under the wordpress.com domain name (like bestcrabrestaurantsinportland.wordpress.com), you’re good to go. While many social services like Facebook and Twitter have supported HTTPS for a while now, WordPress.com was still lagging behind for custom domain names. Since 2014, WordPress.co Read More13 TechCrunch stories you don't want to miss this week

Apr 08, 6:00PM
I’ve spent most of my life in and around schools. First as a student, then as a teacher and lately as an innovator building tools and launching programs. As Nelson Mandela said, “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Despite its importance, education seems to have been missed by the Internet revolution. When I walk down the hall of a… Read MoreJustice Department keeps pushing Apple to unlock iPhone in New York drug case

The fight between the government and Apple is not over. While the most controversial case is now over, the Department of Justice keeps pushing Apple on another case.
