TechCrunch sat down with Box CEO Aaron Levie to get his take on the… Read MoreRightspeed helps you devour audio books at a terrifying pace

Practice safe financing
Apr 26, 11:00PM
The convertible note is a useful and common financing structure in Silicon Valley. It’s a form of debt that is really more a type of equity — one where the valuation hasn’t been determined yet. It’s helpful because sometimes you want to align a new investor or bridge a company with extra capital, but not argue about the valuation or have to price the round yet. Read MoreWhy Apple's stock fell off a cliff today
Apr 26, 10:37PM
Apple took a more than $40 billion hit today after reporting its second-quarter earnings — and it was bleak. Shares of Apple were down more than 8 percent in extended trading at one point today. Things went about as poorly as you could expect: the company couldn’t hit revenue or earnings targets, iPhone sales fell off a cliff from the year-ago quarter and its third-quarter guidance… Read MoreIt isn't just Uber: Carnegie Mellon's computer science dean on its poaching problem
Apr 26, 10:04PM

Apr 26, 9:51PM
For the first time in its history, the iPhone is experiencing a drop in sales. In 2015 at this same time, Apple sold 61 million units of the iPhone.

Apr 26, 9:31PM
During an earnings call marked by a lot of less than stellar news, Apple CEO Tim Cook did manage to locate some bright spots in the company’s ever-expanding portfolio.

Apr 26, 8:47PM
Okay folks, this is the big one. Last year the company brought in revenue of $58 billion — and it showed its first decline in 13 years by posting revenue of $50.6 billion for the second quarter this year, missing analyst expectations on its revenue and guidance by quite a bit. We’re parsing through all the details right now — here’s everything you need to know… Read MoreNow some Ubers will only wait 2 minutes before charging you, not 5
Apr 26, 8:45PM
Better sprint outside, because now Uber can ditch you if you’re just two minutes late for your ride, or start charging you before you get in the car. Previously, people got a five-minute grace period to get to the car after it arrived, or to cancel their trip after they sent a request. But now, Uber is telling some users to “Request When You’re Ready” or face fees… Read MoreeBay shares rise 5% after beating earnings expectations

Apr 26, 8:14PM
Twitter reported its Q1 earnings today, and they’re not great. On the back of 310 monthly active users, the company posted revenues of $595 million, with Q1 GAAP diluted earnings per share of ($0.12) and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.15. This is a big miss on revenues but a beat on EPS. On top of this, the company issued very weak guidance for Q2, and currently Twitter’s stock… Read MoreSpaceX's next launch and the business of rocket recovery
