Jun 21, 12:48AM
Life, uh, finds a way. And more often than not, that way is analog. Digital simulations of cells and systems struggle to take that into account.

Less-known is the growing importance of trade secrets and the role they play in our… Read MoreA tronc is born
Jun 20, 11:44PM
The best satire is indistinguishable from the subject matter it addresses. And sometimes the subject matter is indistinguishable from satire. For the foreseeable future, the absurd rebranding of tronc and this astonishing video will exemplify the latter. Let’s just run through some of the highlights.

Jun 20, 9:33PM
The music industry is ramping up its campaign against YouTube. Musicians, including Katy Perry and Billy Joel, sent a petition earlier this year to the U.S. Copyright Office to amend the U.S. Copyright Act.

According to Morgenthaler Ventures, he was also “instrumental” in helping change the U.S. Read MoreVR is the future of porn, and it's a creepy future indeed
Jun 20, 8:53PM
This got real weird, real fast. And not just because I was demoing the technology in the middle of the E3 floor, surrounded by fellow show-goers. It’s just — well, even after all the explainers in the world, it’s hard to sufficiently brace your mind for all that virtual reality porn entails. It occupied a small space, tucked in the rear of the LA Convention Center, but… Read MoreChina beats China with world's fastest supercomputer

Jun 20, 8:33PM
Millions of people in the United States have mobile phones, and we’ve had them for years. We may upgrade phones or change plans, but cell phones and plans are generally sold to people who already have devices.

Jun 20, 7:24PM
Last week at E3, we had a chance to speak with some of the biggest names in VR, from Oculus to Sony — but that list that wouldn’t be complete without some input from HTC. The smartphone maker was, perhaps, something of a dark horse in the space, but its Vive headset has scored high rankings among industry stalwarts, positioning the Taiwanese for something of a renaissance at the… 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.
