Fossil sure has a lot of different smartwatches
Sep 03, 12:47PM
Fossil’s not messing around here. Back in November, the company announced plans to pick up fitness tracking company Misfit for $260 million, and all the while, it’s been announcing connected wearables under its own name by the boatload. The company’s Q line, home to its various fitness trackers and smartwatches, includes a number of recent additions that were on display this… Read MoreA circular satnav designed to blend in with a scooter
Sep 03, 11:54AM
Like Garmin, TomTom’s been getting pretty aggressive with its wearable strategy. No wonder, really – it’s a space that’s seen exponential growth over the past few years, as in-car GPS systems have, at best, flatlined, thanks to the near ubiquity of smartphones. But TomTom’s not giving up the ghost. The company’s been playing around in the space to see what,… Read MoreAt long last, the player piano does multi-room audio
Sep 03, 11:22AM
We all knew in our hearts that, if we just waited long enough, the internet of things would come around to self-playing piano. That surely the cloud would incorporate that last vestige of ole timey technology. And now, here at IFA, the least portable of home audio systems has finally gone multi-room. Or, as Yamaha opens its decidedly hyperbolic press release, “For the first time in… Read MoreDrop partners with Bosch to let users monitor their oven remotely
Sep 03, 10:51AM
This could actually go a ways toward easing my obsessive dial checking on the way out the door in the morning. Drop, they of connected kitchen scale fame, is partnering with Bosch to bring an added layer of connectivity to the German appliance maker’s kitchen devices. The deal, announced here at IFA in Berlin, starts simply, with the company’s Series 8 oven, bringing remote… Read MoreCrunch Report | SpaceX Hyperloop Test Track

The invisible @apple tweet
Sep 02, 11:47PM
Here’s a silly thing because it is the ass end of a Friday. Apple just started using the Twitter account — @apple — that they’ve had since 2011. And they’re using it to send out an ‘invisible’ tweet. Read MoreJeremy Bloom on sports technology and his new startup show
Sep 02, 11:17PM
He’s a U.S. Olympian, NFL alum, startup CEO and now a TV host. Jeremy Bloom sat down with TechCrunch to tell us about his new show “Adventure Capitalists,” which he characterizes as “Shark Tank meets the great outdoors.” The CNBC series takes a look at investment opportunities in the sports and action space — from electric bikes to underwater jet packs.… Read More
Samsung spills the details of its Note 7 exchange program in US
Sep 02, 11:16PM
If you’ve got a Galaxy Note 7, you’ve probably already heard about the recall. But the specifics differ for each region, and Samsung just now released the details for what your options are here in the land of the free. Read MoreWhat if cybersecurity followed physics?
Sep 02, 11:00PM
The first cybersecurity unicorn kernel popped in late 2013 with the announcement of CloudFlare’s $50 million Series C investment. Today, 10 privately held companies hold membership in the ultra-exclusive cybersecurity unicorn club. With the addition of each new member, eyebrows are raised and questions are asked. Are cybersecurity unicorns outliers or are we at the start of a… Read MoreMulti-process Firefox brings 400-700% improvement in responsiveness
Sep 02, 10:20PM
Earlier this summer I wrote about Mozilla’s efforts to rollout a multi-process architecture, codename Electrolysis, for Firefox. In the months since, Mozilla has completed its initial tests on 1 percent of its user population and the initial numbers are good, according to Asa Dotzler, director of Firefox at Mozilla. The company is reporting a 400 percent improvement in… Read MoreAirbnb releases first transparency report on government requests for user data
Sep 02, 8:46PM
Airbnb received 188 requests for users’ data from governments around the world in the first six months of this year, according to the company’s first-ever transparency report. The home-sharing company provided data in response to 82 of those requests. Airbnb is publishing a transparency report as part of its Community Compact, an initiative to make the company more transparent to… Read MoreChris Moore of Redpoint Ventures: the market "feels like it's in flux"
Sep 02, 8:33PM
Chris Moore is an increasingly rare breed. At the founding of Redpoint Ventures 17 years ago, Moore joined as an associate and — unlike today’s associates who often are cycled in and out of venture firms — he was made a partner. Since then, Moore has led deals in numerous companies that have gone on to sell for sizable amounts, including Auditude, acquired by Adobe;… Read MoreThe billionaire's plaything
Sep 02, 8:17PM
In the movie Moonraker James Bond has to fight a madman with his own fleet of Space Shuttles. The movie was made in 1979, a golden age for government-subsidized spaceflight. Back then the thought that a man like Hugo Drax could afford a fleet of shuttles was ludicrous. The thought that private businesses could send anything bigger than a breadbox into orbit was silly. Sure the sight of Jaws,… Read MoreInvestors, here are the Startup Alley companies at Disrupt SF

Sep 02, 7:24PM
Every Star Wars fan’s dream is to be there – to inhabit the rich world created by Lucasfilm and the creative minds behind the epic films and their surrounding media universe. ILMxLAB, the immersive entertainment division of Lucasfilm, is working to make those dreams come true. Read MoreMicrosoft is putting Cortana machine learning in a fridge
Sep 02, 6:39PM
Microsoft is working with Liebherr’s appliance division to rebuild the refrigerator and make it smarter, faster, strong; well, maybe just smarter. The new collaboration between the two will see Microsoft provide computer vision technology, via its Microsoft Cognitive Services Computer Vision API, to let the fridge identify objects contained within. Why would you want a fridge that knows… Read MoreWeekly Roundup: SpaceX explosion destroys Facebook satellite, Google takes on Uber
Sep 02, 6:34PM

Sep 02, 6:33PM
It’s pretty odd that even while people are chatting about producing the VR video’s crazy theoretical future with 8K resolution per eye, stereoscopic rendering and light field ready footage, I’m still here struggling to keep Louis C.K. clips from buffering on my mobile phone. In order for VR to be successful, companies are going to need to start correcting some of the… Read MoreSanbot is a humanoid robot with penguin flipper arms and a touchscreen heart
Sep 02, 6:07PM
When I arrived at Qihan’s IFA booth, a rainbow-colored trio of Sanbots were performing choreographed moves to some unrecognizable pop song. Because, well, when you want to get people to stop at your both in the middle of a giant show full of gadgety distractions, you pull out all the stops. The plucky little robot has flipper arms, a pair of wheels for feet and a body chock full of… Read MoreThe LMS market glacier is melting
Sep 02, 6:00PM
The world of edtech is strange and full of apparent contradictions. Venture capital investment has exploded since 2010, hitting an all-time high of $3.1 billion in 2015, with private equity and strategic acquisitions pushing this number even higher. Dozens of startups, if not more, vie for the attention of presidents and provosts. If you look at adoption rates by schools, just one category… 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.
