From my desk at Bear Stearns, where I’d traded mortgage-backed securities for years, I watched as the financial and housing markets crashed in 2008. A few months later, there was no Bear, and my new desk was at J.P. Morgan. It’s easy to think the crisis was a result of “Wall Street got drunk,” as George W. Bush admitted. But I saw a different cause: the financial… Read MoreForge locks down $4.5M Series A to help gamers capture awesomeness
Jun 10, 1:43AM
Sometimes entrepreneurship is about starting battles and other times it’s about finishing them. Jared Kim has been on a mission to cut the frustration out of sharing gameplay with friends since he was 19. Forge, his second play in the space, closed a $4.5 million Series A yesterday led by True Ventures. This round matches a $4.5 million seed his company received back in March.

Jun 10, 1:02AM
Rumors of a Twitter breach started circulating yesterday afternoon, fittingly, on Twitter. Security researchers cautioned users to change their passwords and enable two-factor authentication, a feature that requires a user to verify their identity at login with a pincode sent to a trusted device. But the rumors were wrong — at least partially. Although millions of Twitter handles and… Read MoreUNU set to forecast tech trends after accurate Oscars, Kentucky Derby predictions
Jun 10, 12:03AM
Can AI outpace the expertise of vaunted futurists like Mary Meeker or Ray Kurzweil? The artificial intelligence system called UNU is slated to answer questions tomorrow about technology and its long-term impact on humanity via a Reddit AMA (“ask me anything” interview). The same system accurately predicted Oscars winners, and the top four horses to win at the Kentucky Derby… Read MoreHands-on with Moto's modular Moto Z and a few of its crazy accessories
Jun 09, 11:55PM
The Tango-powered (and weirdly named) Phab 2 Pro wasn’t the only crazy phone on display at Lenovo’s Tech World today. Joining it on stage was a new handset from Lenovo’s sister company, Motorola: the Moto Z, a modular smartphone that can use backpack-like accessories to double as everything from a small boombox to a portable projector. We only got a few minutes with the… Read MoreUp close and hands-on with Lenovo's augmented reality Tango phone
Jun 09, 11:50PM
Earlier today, Lenovo unveiled the world’s first smartphone fueled by Google’s Project Tango (or just “Tango,” as it’s now known) computer vision efforts. The big new thing?

Jun 09, 11:40PM
The notion of such aerial vehicles has always fascinated, but the pesky need to pilot the things has generally grounded it — as if the engineering and legal challenges weren’t enough already. But autonomous driving technology may be the missing piece that leads us to the place where, yes, we won’t need roads. Read MoreWhat autonomous driving is — and isn't — in 2016
Jun 09, 11:02PM
When Honda announced that its latest Civic sedan would have a full suite of state-of-the-art driver assist features for $20,000, The Wall Street Journal called it a self-driving vehicle. While the Civic can do a lot, it cannot drive itself. Yet. So what are we even talking about when we talk about autonomous or self-driving vehicles? Lucky for us, engineers are on top of this. In January… Read MoreVenture capital pioneer Tom Perkins dies at 84

Jun 09, 10:00PM
While it seemingly came out of nowhere, Slack’s meteoric rise was no coincidence. Between its early focus on winning over developers who quickly became incredibly effective evangelists and its aggressive moves to integrate with other popular business apps, Slack provided a distinct model for others to follow. So who is following such a model, and what does their growth look like? Read MoreJennifer Lawrence tapped to play Elizabeth Holmes in new movie about Theranos

Jun 09, 8:28PM
Call me old fashioned, but I like my phones in one piece. But that’s not the future according to LG. Or Motorola. Or Google’s Ara team. These companies see consumers swapping widgets and gizmos on and off their phone like it’s some sort futuristic communication device. That’s crazy. I don’t like it. Get off my lawn.
