The global finance markets are slipping on Friday after the UK public voted to leave the EU, but there is one currency that is reveling in the uncertainty of the Brexit result: bitcoin. Read MoreWhat the actual hell, Britain?
Jun 24, 5:38AM
As I’m writing this, it looks as if Britain has voted to leave the EU.It’s hitting me like a ton of Europe-approved bricks, because this decision just simply doesn’t make sense. I strongly believes in democracy, and if this really is what the demos want, then so be it. But I just don’t understand how we got here. How this was even sort of remotely possible.

No, they weren’t… Read MoreiZotope, Photoshop for sound, closes another $7.5M in financing
Jun 24, 12:05AM
What does the trailer to Inception, a re-mastered Rolling Stones record and the podcast Serial all have in common? They’re all awesome. Their creators also all used iZotope products in the background to make them shine. iZotope, started by a group of MIT undergrads in 2001, hustled their way onto the competitive music scene by first releasing a free plug-in of a record simulator.

Jun 24, 12:00AM
Murphy’s Law decrees: “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” For any of us whose livelihood depends on our labor, things going wrong could mean: “Anything that can be automated, will be automated.” Our labor or skill in exchange for pay has undoubtedly caused us to seek security in the notion that we’ll be forever needed.

Jun 23, 11:15PM
Apple today announced that it is discontinuing its Thunderbolt Display, the large external display many use to connect to MacBooks or other Macs for extra screen real estate. This is very likely to fuel speculation (which has been ongoing) that Apple will soon launch a 4K or 5K version of the display. The current Mac’s display is 5K and can be extended (in lower res) to the existing… Read MoreMassChallenge sets up camp in Switzerland

Jun 23, 10:00PM
No more pop-ups asking you to agree to those murky “2.1x” (or some other “x” amount) surge fares on the Uber app. Soon Uber will just tell you the price of your ride up front. Uber told TechCrunch in May it was not doing away with surge pricing and denied an NPR report mentioning it would be killing surge. However, it seems Uber is doing away with the feature. Uber… Read MoreFacial recognition systems stumble when confronted with million-face database
Jun 23, 9:53PM
We’re all a bit worried about the terrifying surveillance state that becomes possible when you cross omnipresent cameras with reliable facial recognition — but a new study suggests that some of the best algorithms are far from infallible when it comes to sorting through a million or more faces. The University of Washington’s MegaFace Challenge is an open competition among… Read MoreUsed BMW i batteries store solar power at home
Jun 23, 9:18PM
BMW i joins Tesla and Mercedes-Benz in bringing energy storage home with its new system, which has yet to be given a catchy name. The system uses new or used batteries from the BMW i3 electric car to store power from solar panels for later use. It integrates with the charging station users are likely to have in the garage, so the stored energy from the sun can power your i3 overnight.… Read MoreMalala Fund co-founder Shiza Shahid, AngelList partner to back "mission-driven" startups

Jun 23, 8:20PM
It was on June 23, 1996 that the Nintendo 64 made its debut — in Japan, that is. We wouldn’t see it on this side of the Pacific for another three months. But today is its proper birthday, and 20 years is a significant enough anniversary that we should probably just take a moment to remember just how awesome this console was — and is.

Jun 23, 8:00PM
Anyone who keeps up with the stock market is likely aware that Lending Club is in hot water. Anyone with professional lending experience is likely unphased by this.

A new application called Storyboard, launching today from the Disney-backed startup Twigtale, aims… Read MoreFormer Startup Battlefield competitor Satago raises £4.6m to help small businesses get paid
Jun 23, 7:17PM
