Philips Hue is expanding its line up of smart light devices with a motion sensor. This one is pretty straightforward — when you walk in front of the sensor, your Hue lights will turn on.

As China’s digital business grows, it’s going to provide more opportunities for many players.

Aug 28, 10:00PM
History repeats herself, but she mumbles. Most of the time we can only in retrospect discern what she was trying to say. Sometimes, though, history’s intent is clear. That’s where we stand with the state of connected cars: History is repeating itself. There is a correspondence in the patterns of disruption when you compare the future of connected cars to the past of the… Read MoreINNOVATE2016: How digital can reinvent American government

Aug 28, 7:00PM
Given the massive chunk of our lives spent at work, shouldn’t we enjoy the tools we need to use for our jobs? Shouldn’t they feel more human and delightful, like Amazon’s Alexa or some of the other consumer-facing applications we rely on daily? And how much more effective and productive could you be if you had something like TARS or Jarvis helping you with your job? I think… Read MoreAll deals on AngelList will soon be private (plus other updates you should know)

Aug 27, 11:00PM
Every important technology goes through a hype cycle.

World-changing promises tend to turn into mundane reality — if they don’t fall off the roller coaster entirely. Read MoreReverie Classic is a crowdfunded watch with some beautiful bones
Aug 27, 10:51PM
There are two kinds of crowdfunded watches – fashion accessories and real efforts at classical design and workmanship. Thankfully the Reverie Classic holds the latter place. The Classic is made by Samuel Tay who previously crowdfunded and built the Sea Spirit a handsome, nautical-themed automatic that did quite well. The Classic costs $350 and runs a Miyota 8218 movement – bog… Read MoreWhy founders should care where their VCs get their money
