Jun 03, 10:35PM
Buyouts may replace IPOs as the exit of choice for tech companies in the coming months. This comes as the number of startups unable to exit into a frozen market continues to grow.

Just this week, analytics firm QLik was… Read MoreVOEZ is an addictive anime-themed rhythm game
Jun 03, 10:35PM
VOEZ is a new game out of Taiwan that is climbing the app gaming charts. It is part Rock Band, part DDR, but in a karaoke-esque setting. Put simply, VOEZ is an anime-themed rhythm game. You need to tap, hold and swipe as colorful commands fall to the target line. There are only a few different moves, but the difficulty of the game increases as you move on to more and more intense tracks. One… Read MoreHey, I'm John, a new summer writing intern at TechCrunch

Jun 03, 7:12PM
Every battle is won before it is fought. This bit of pop wisdom, brought down to us from Sun Tzu and countless motivational speakers, is the koan for a generation of can-do entrepreneurs. But there is another version of this line, one that is less rosy. Every battle is won or lost before it is fought. In the all-singing, all-dancing world of entrepreneurial theatre, the important part is the… Read MoreNavy researchers develop 'Iron Man' style in-helmet HUD for divers
Jun 03, 6:56PM

Jun 03, 6:22PM
“We just need a technical co-founder!” “We have the idea, we’re just trying to find a CS major to build it!” In 2016, everyone and their mother has an idea for an app. This is especially true on college campuses, where starting an app has seemingly replaced beer pong as the most popular extracurricular activity. The only problem is that there are far fewer… Read MoreNew Warcraft featurette shows off the movie's Easter eggs and real sets

Jun 03, 5:18PM
If you’re looking at your Instagram today, you might notice something has changed: older posts from friends and other accounts you care about are now appearing above those that were shared more recently.

Jun 03, 4:43PM
In 1895, audiences sat down to watch “L’Arrivée d’un Train en Gare de La Ciotat,” an early film that showed a train pulling into a station.

Whether the story is true or not, virtual reality filmmakers are recalling it with interest. Read MoreAnnouncing the TechCrunch Meetup + Pitch-off in Berlin!

Jun 03, 4:21PM
Google might be eavesdropping more than you had originally imagined, though not on purpose. Since June 2015, Google has been storing personal data on its users on a website, where users only have access to their own information. The feature works a bit like a digital diary, storing web searches, YouTube history, and (you guessed it!) Google Voice Search history. The issue with Voice Search is… Read MorePHIND's new app will help you discover places, see if they're buzzing
