Jun 19, 9:00AM
It’s happening. The TechCrunch team landed in Tel Aviv and we’re in the starting blocks for the TechCrunch Meetup + Pitch-Off in Tel Aviv on Wednesday June 22. And it’s going to be an awesome event. Read MoreFor more diversity in the workplace, start with technical roles
Jun 19, 3:00AM
The lack of diversity in terms of gender, race, ethnicity and age is well documented in the technology industry. Public data shared by major tech employers show that women only represent 25 to 45 percent of their entire workforce. The disparity gets worse in technical roles; for the past five years, women have been stuck at 21 percent of technical roles. Other underrepresented groups face… Read MoreVR skateboarding at E3
Jun 19, 12:30AM
I’ve been skateboarding for longer than I care mention, and I still had to hold onto the damn railings. I’m going to blame it on the screwy sense of orientation one experiences in virtual reality, but it probably owes just as much to my fear of falling off a mechanical skateboard simulator in the middle of the crowded E3 show floor. The exhibit was created by D-Box to promote… Read MoreContact CI's Exotendon system brings touch to VR
Jun 18, 11:29PM
Sometimes the coolest demos at a convention are tucked away in the back corners, far from the bright lights and big booths industry stalwarts.

The small Cincinnati-based startup was showing of its developer kit for the first time at the event, featuring a complex glove designed to offer more lifelike VR… Read MoreWill the next Siri be empathetic?
Jun 18, 10:00PM
Humans have forever personified their technologies. We engage emotionally, have expectations and establish a trust-based association with our technology. Technologies that are truly important to our well-being and happiness transcend their status as just “stuff.” If we have an emotional bond with our technology, wouldn’t it be smart to design systems that feel empathetic to… Read MoreFlipping the office telepresence model
Jun 18, 7:00PM
What if I told you that you could visit three continents in one day without leaving your office and truly feel like you were there in person? That you could move down a hallway or across a stage, make eye contact and feel, well, more like a human being than just a face on a screen? Read MoreGillmor Gang: M & A
Jun 18, 5:32PM
The Gillmor Gang — John Borthwick, Kevin Marks, Keith Teare, and Steve Gillmor. Recorded live Friday, June 17, 2016.

The Battle Ends Due to the large concentration of daily fantasy sports players in the state (about 10 percent of… Read MoreAs the smartphone wars reheat, the threat of chilling innovation looms
Jun 18, 2:00PM
Bill Gates recently penned an open letter to the 2016 presidential candidates, imploring them to support something he hopes “every candidate will agree on in November: America’s unparalleled capacity for innovation.” Politics aside, it’s hard to argue with his call to action.

Jun 18, 1:00PM
Who’s afraid of AlphaGo? Everyone who’s anyone, you might think. Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking have all expressed concern about the “existential threat” of AI, just as “deep learning” neural networks are revolutionizing the AI field. Should we be scared for our jobs? Or even our species? Fear not, I have answers! They are, respectively… Read MoreCrunch Report | Apple ordered to Stop Selling iPhone in China

According to a federal indictment announced March 24, 2016, seven attackers with links to the Iranian government executed cyberattacks against dozens of banks from 2011 to 2013.

Jun 17, 7:51PM
Like most stories worth telling, this one begins with bad time management. The day I was set to fly out to San Francisco, I was on the road with a friend driving to Chapel Hill from Chicago. By the time I got back, I had just under an hour to pack for my new home. I got to the airport 20 minutes before my flight and clutched a miracle. Unfortunately, my checked bag was not as lucky.
