Jul 12, 10:48PM
About 80 percent of the U.S. adult population, aged 18 and older, fails to exercise enough each week to meet federal guidelines, according to the most recent available data from the Centers for Disease Control’s Healthy People 2020 study. That means a majority of us are pretty lazy, ‘Murica. The guidelines only call for moderate to light aerobic physical activity for 150 minutes… Read MoreComcast business phone service is down and small businesses are freaking out

Comcast’s business phone service seems to be having a huge nationwide outage.

Jul 12, 9:07PM
The Oculus Rift launch has been a rocky one that hasn’t exactly left fans of the highly influential consumer VR platform very happy. Today, Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe announced a few things (we’re pretty sure it was him this time). He clued us into the fact that after three-and-a-half months, the Oculus team has at last caught up with pre-orders and that Oculus’s cool… Read MoreSen.

Jul 12, 9:06PM
Always with his finger on the pulse, Senator Al Franken today sent an official request to Niantic asking about particulars of the Pokémon Go privacy policy. “I am concerned about the extent to which Niantic may be unnecessarily collecting, using, and sharing a wide range of users’ personal information without their appropriate consent,” the letter reads. Read MoreMore EVs—and more kinds of EVs—are expected to be sold this year

Jul 12, 8:20PM
The Washington D.C. Fire and EMS Department is considering a plan to use Uber to transport low priority 911 callers, according to NBC Washington. It’s a horrible idea. Washington’s plan is to hire a team of nurses who could evaluate a caller’s condition over the phone and direct them to an Uber if they are deemed stable. Already this is odd given that the purpose of an… Read MoreJuno probe's tiny sensors to perform big science around Jupiter
Jul 12, 8:17PM
One of the striking things about the Juno probe, I remarked to one of its creators, is its simple and streamlined design — compared to other spacecraft, at least. The engineers had a hell of a time packing everything in there, but it helps when critical sensors have shrunk in size from “breadbox” to “soup cracker.” Read MoreAn interview with the anonymous founder of PostGhost
Jul 12, 8:09PM
PostGhost was a service that stored and displayed the deleted Tweets of celebrities and politicians. Created as a way to keep public discourse honest, Twitter shut it down with a cease and desist warning citing a failure to comply with API rules. The resulting brouhaha led me to track down the anonymous founder and ask him or her a few questions about what happened. TC: Who are you? How… Read MorePokémon Go updated to address privacy concerns

Mohamud was convicted of planning to bomb a… 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.
