Swiss reject universal basic income in public referendum
Jun 06, 8:01AM
The people of Switzerland have rejected a proposal to give a universal basic income (UBI) to every citizen, with almost 77 per cent saying ‘no’ vs 23 per cent in favor. Read MoreStockholm, this is your last chance to buy tickets to the meetup tomorrow
Jun 06, 7:09AM
The TechCrunch Meetup + Pitch-Off in Stockholm is literally right around the corner — in fact it’s happening tomorrow on June 7. I’m currently sitting at the airport in Paris, waiting for my flight. I woke up way too early — and yet, I couldn’t be more excited about going to Stockholm. If you like the fantastic world of startup and you’re available… Read MoreGroupon is selling its Indonesia business to fitness membership startup KFit
Jun 06, 5:56AM
Groupon continues to streamline its business in Asia after it announced the sale of its operations in Indonesia to a somewhat unlikely buyer. KFit, a startup that sells gym and fitness memberships in the same style as ClassPass, is picking up Groupon Indonesia in an undisclosed deal. Read MoreFintech is playing the long game
Jun 06, 2:00AM
Our team has been actively investing in fintech for the past two years. In addition to reading pitches from hundreds of companies and meeting with dozens, half of our team has worked in the finance sector in previous careers. SparkLabs Global decided to create an easy to read overview for others to get up to speed on how innovation and technology will disrupt the financial sector. Read MoreINNOVATE2016: For CUNY Professor Jeff Jarvis, Donald Trump is the emperor troll
Jun 06, 1:30AM
Both Trump and Sanders, Jarvis argues, are tied together by their anger and their narcissistic use of traditional political platforms and parties to get individual attention. Read MoreThe Alfieri Firenze brings a bubbly touch to the traditional watch
Jun 05, 10:56PM
Like tea and toddler’s birthday parties, everything is better with bubbles. This interesting new Kickstarter watch has a unique “bubble” or convex track around its face, a feature that will be familiar to folks who like De Bethune and may want something similar… but much, much cheaper. The watch comes in two styles – standard and with a lunar calendar – and… Read MoreAmerican Airlines strikes a deal with ViaSat to bring satellite WiFi to 100 planes
Jun 05, 10:50PM
American Airlines has gone non-Gogo, striking a deal with Southern Californian communications company ViaSat to bring satellite-powered WiFi to 100 Boeing 737 MAX aircrafts by September of next year. The deal comes in the wake of some fairly tense dealings between the airline and Gogo, whose traditional in-flight WiFi speeds (and near ubiquity) have been a source of frustration for passengers… Read MoreVive la France! Vive la Tech!… But do these two great tastes taste great together?
Jun 05, 10:34PM
I spent last week on a junket in Paris, paid for by the French government, visiting the various hubs and spokes of the burgeoning French startup scene. I don’t think they’ll invite me back, after they read this. My considered assessment is that the French government, and to an extent the larger French tech scene, lacks ambition, boldness, and confidence, and their technology… Read MoreWhy patent trolls won't give up
Jun 05, 10:00PM
In Return of the Jedi, Yoda tells Luke “Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.” Luckily for me, this didn’t apply to the patent world. I spent seven years on the “dark side” working for patent trolls before coming back to the light. Patent trolls are companies that derive all or almost all of their revenue… Read MoreBose's QuietComfort headphones finally go wireless
Jun 05, 8:32PM
The Bose name has more or less been synonymous with the words “noise cancelling.” As for wireless? Not so much. The headphone maker has dragged its feet when it comes to cutting the cord, even as the competition has flooded the market with Bluetooth solutions. The company, thankfully, is finally ready to take that leap, bringing wireless connectivity to its flagship QuietComfort brand. Read MoreFinland's hot startup scene crackles at Arctic 15
Jun 05, 7:20PM
Silicon Valley may be the startup center of the universe, but it’s far from alone when it comes to a concentration of good ideas. Innovation and creativity aren’t confined to any one place, and the startup hub idea that has taken root in the Valley can be replicated in others areas of the country and world with effort and commitment on the part of entrepreneurs, government and a… Read MoreOusta is driving ride-hailing expansion in Egypt
Jun 05, 7:00PM
With its major cities congested with traffic — taxi cabs, public transports and, lately, ride-hailing and ride-sharing apps — Egypt apparently still needs more when it comes to transportation. Catering to a population exceeding 90 million, international market players Uber and Careem launched in Egypt in 2014; a third player soon followed — a local ridehailing app called Ousta. Read MoreAtari is embracing the Internet of Things with new smart home devices
Jun 05, 4:01PM
Admittedly, Atari isn’t the entertainment powerhouse it once was. The company has spent the last few years digging attempting to reinvent itself after declaring bankruptcy in 2013, focusing largely on mobile gaming plays and casino deals. Now the one-time gaming juggernaut is lending its legendary name to a line of connected home devices. It’s not exactly a new console, sadly,… Read MoreThe FBI is working on a tattoo tracking system that has privacy groups up in arms
Jun 05, 3:13PM
According to research unearthed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the FBI has teamed with government scientists to work on a technology system designed to track tattoos. In 2014, the Imaging wing of the the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) created the Tattoo Recognition Technology with help from the FBI. Among the group’s earliest tasks was the creation of a… Read MoreWhy an inevitable "bust" of the tech boom won't be such a bad thing
Jun 05, 3:00PM
Silicon Valley is experiencing an extended boom that has only recently shown signs of fatigue. Many observers portend an ominous environment ripe for a bust similar to the early 2000s. Yes, there are many similarities between now and the dot-com boom. There are, however, key differences that will enable Silicon Valley to continue driving forward, no matter the headwinds. Read MoreThe US Army is deploying smart earplugs that block out loud noises and enhance quiet ones
Jun 05, 1:46PM
TCAPS – that’s Tactical Communication and Protective System – are a sort of combo connected earplug/hearing aid currently being deployed by the US Army to both reduce hearing loss from explosive sounds and enhance perception of quiet tones. The system, currently priced at a (perhaps unsurprisingly) lofty $2,000, is designed to address the problem of hearing loss in the… Read MoreTor Project developer steps down amid sexual mistreatment allegations
Jun 05, 2:01AM
The Tor Project confirmed today that one of its prominent developers, Jacob Appelbaum, stepped down in response to what it called “public allegations of sexual mistreatment.” The Tor Project, which develops the Tor browser and network, had previously only acknowledged Appelbaum’s departure in a one-sentence statement Thursday afternoon, but went into further detail about… Read MoreInnovations in 3D printing
Jun 05, 1:00AM
Ten miles north of Barcelona lies a centuries-old hotbed for ink technology. Founded in the 9th century, the Monastery of Sant Cugat ushered in Spain’s era of ink and scrolls. Nearby, a 21st century HP facility perfected the art through bus-sized printers capable of precisely depositing a picoliter of ink as massive reams of paper whizz by. Read MoreHow chief information officers become chief innovation officers
Jun 04, 10:00PM
In the early 1900s, large organizations needed another type of CEO: Chief Electricity Officer. Before there was an accessible and reliable power grid to plug into, organizations that needed electricity employed a CEO to make sure they had steady and cheap access to this vital commodity. Given the aging data center architecture, it’s now the Chief Innovation Officer who is increasingly… Read MoreManhattan CRE prices spark a mass exodus of startups to Brooklyn
Jun 04, 7:00PM
Manhattan, once the mecca for technology and innovation on the east coast, is now losing ground to the Outer Boroughs. Massive growth has led to high rents and lack of space for burgeoning businesses. Demand for office space by tech companies increased 177 percent from 2002-2012, representing 25 percent of New York City leases. To that end, the vacancy rate in NYC is just 9 percent,… 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.
