Jun 03, 3:14AM
As you might have noticed, things aren’t going so well in Brazil. Its economy shrank 5.4 percent in the first quarter, according to government figures released yesterday.

Read MoreA micro VC firm in Sacramento raises a fast second fund
Jun 03, 12:44AM
There may be more VCs per capita in California than anywhere else in the world, but they aren’t paying much attention to what’s happening in and around the state’s capital of Sacramento. That’s both good and bad for what may be the only early-stage venture firm in the area, Moneta Ventures. The outfit — which is technically in Folsom, outside of Sacramento… Read MoreHands-on with Ricoh's new waterproof action cam, WG-M2
Jun 03, 12:16AM
When you think action cams, any number of brands spring to mind. Ricoh may not be one of them, but on paper, the WG-M2 from Ricoh has the perfect combination of features if you like your adventures on the wet and rough end of the spectrum. The camera’s party-trick — and the reason it caught my eye in the first place — is that it has really good waterproofing straight out of… Read MoreSean Rad says Tinder will be more trans-friendly
Jun 02, 11:43PM
Tinder is set to unveil a new experience for transgender users within the next couple of months. Thus far, the app has never accounted for the non-gender-conforming demographic, instead exclusively serving cisgender users through filters for male and female only, both to self-identify and to search. Read MoreThe impending bot backlash
Jun 02, 11:00PM
Everyone seems to be jumping on the bot bandwagon. Chatbots are not only being touted as the end of apps, but also the next paradigm in human-computer interaction — and, if you believe the hype, the end of many customer service jobs, too. But bots are unlikely to live up to these outsized expectations anytime soon. Read MoreUber accused of wage stealing in new lawsuit from New York drivers
Jun 02, 10:38PM
The New York Taxi Workers Alliance (NYTWA) and 10 Uber drivers have filed a lawsuit against the company, accusing Uber of stealing wages. The group representing 5,000 Uber drivers in New York filed the new claims today and says the rideshare giant unfairly skims driver wages without offering the added protections they’d get as employees. The suit was filed in federal court in… Read More13 TechCrunch stories you don't want to miss this week

Jun 02, 10:00PM
Delivery fiends rejoice, you can now use Apple Pay to get your food delivered even faster. Grubhub just rolled out an update to the Grubhub and Seamless iOS apps that let customers check out using Apple Pay. Considering the company did $2.4 billion in food sales last year, and 60 percent of this was via mobile ordering, the integration is a major score for the Apple Pay platform. So what… Read MoreTribune Publishing rebrands as tronc, terrible puns ensue
Jun 02, 9:59PM
Tribune Publishing, owner of newspapers including the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, just announced that starting on June 20 it will rebrand as tronc*, Inc. — short for “tribune online content.” The company is pitching this as part of its broader move to digital, which also includes the development of troncX*, a “content curation and monetization engine”… Read MoreFacebook kills off Notify news app
Jun 02, 9:42PM
Facebook’s attempt at a real-time, notification-based news app is shutting down. Today Facebook sent an alert to users telling them “Thanks for using Notify. We’re transitioning parts of Notify into other Facebook products, and the app will no longer be supported.” Facebook launched Notify in November, allowing users to select from over 70 publishers that they wanted… Read MoreApple App Store goes down
Jun 02, 9:06PM
It appears that the Apple App Store, on both mobile and desktop, is experiencing some technical difficulty. The outage is reported to have started around 3:30pm ET, and Apple’s Support site confirms the outage. At first, it was only the App Store that was malfunctioning, not allowing users to download new apps or search through the store. Users attempting to surf the App Store are… Read MoreSamsung debuts truly wireless exercise earbuds and a new version of the Gear Fit
Jun 02, 9:00PM
The field is getting mighty crowded, but Samsung’s not backing down from its big fitness push. Today the company is unveiling two new wearables — an update to its Gear Fit activity tracker and the IconX, a pair of completely wireless earbuds aimed at runners. The company kicked off a pre-briefing with a little marketing information, detailing the fact that fitness bands… Read MoreWype will come clean your car where it sits
Jun 02, 8:45PM
Recently, I wrote about Wyper, the Tinder of car shopping. That prompted Andy Kim, co-founder of Wype, to contact me. His business is one letter off from Wyper, after all, so in the interest of disambiguation, here’s the scoop on the car-detailing company that is more like Uber than Tinder in the app comparison game. Wype is based in Southern California, where cars are shiny and water… Read MoreWant your app to be #1 on the App Store? Just give away a free sandwich

Chick-fil-A just launched Chick-fil-A One, their new app that offers mobile payments, order ahead, a rewards program and more.

Jun 02, 8:24PM
The reports of commerce’s death at Twitter have been greatly exaggerated, according to a tweetstorm by Nathan Hubbard, Twitter’s head of commerce. Last month BuzzFeed reported that Jack Dorsey had put Buy Buttons, product pages and other commerce efforts on the “back-burner,” and the commerce team was shifted into other divisions. But now Hubbard writes: “commerce… 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.
