Sep 09, 7:26AM
There are just about 1,000 Fisker Karma luxury cars on the road today. The vehicle was a hit amongst design-obsessed luxury car owners when it was introduced in 2012, but the average person’s main interactions with the brand (okay, possibly just my own) may have been related to Justin Bieber’s misadventures jetting about in his custom chrome version back in 2013. Much like Mr. Read MoreYou can now pre-order the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series 2
Sep 09, 7:12AM
When Apple announced the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series 2 earlier this week the company said pre-orders would start Friday September 9th, which in recent years has meant as early as 12:01am Pacific Time or 3:01am Eastern Time on the 9th. This year is no different, as the company just flipped the switch on its retail website as well as in the Apple Store app, so customers can now start… Read MoreHillary campaign and Dems get $20M from Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz
Sep 09, 4:42AM

The Swiss watch industry is doomed
Sep 09, 2:26AM
There was one slide in Tim Cook’s keynote that probably made the watch industry potentates choke on their oysters St Jacques. It was a simply a clear comparison between Apple Watch sales and sales of traditional watch brands, both high and low. And it wasn’t good. At the bottom of the barrel was Japan’s Casio, makers of heavy-duty watches designed to take on tank treads and… Read MoreAI can make your money work for you
Sep 09, 1:00AM
The way we thought of apps in 2008 is how we’ll view artificial intelligence five years from now; 2016 will look like the AI stone age. Although apps have created completely new behaviors, especially in the fintech space with mobile banking and shared payments, the app economy, unfortunately, seems to be reaching a peak, and monetizing an app has become an uphill battle.

Sep 09, 12:26AM
An exploding phone is by no means a good thing, but if it has to explode, it’s hard to think of a worse place for it to do so than on a plane. Well, not that hard, but it’s definitely a bad one. In wake of the occasional combusting Galaxy Note 7 and the its subsequent recall, the FAA has advised passengers to exercise caution when flying with the device. Read MorePeak Design and building a company on the Kickstarter platform
Sep 08, 11:46PM
Most startups toil away in stealth mode on new products with an Apple-esque fear of news leaking before its time. Peak Design decided to go to the other extreme, building a company in full view of its audience — and in the face of its competitors. Eschewing traditional investors in favor of a series of Kickstarter campaigns, I decided to take a closer look at how the team makes it work.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has successfully launched from Cape Canaveral with the help of 1.2 million pounds of thrust provided by an Atlas V rocket.

Sep 08, 10:51PM
Eighty million people in the U.S. struggle with bad breath — many of them don’t even know that they do, but the people around them are likely all too aware. Last year at CES, Breathometer teased a connected device called Mint that measures a user’s breath and gives them some tips on how to improve their oral health. At IFA this year, Philips announced that… Read MoreIt's a long, hard road from idea to IPO
Sep 08, 10:40PM
It may not seem it, but coming up with an idea for your startup is probably the easiest part of launching your own company. As one industry insider told me, there are a million ways to screw up that idea through poor execution, and many, many lose their way. Yet a precious few fight through the problems and the challenges, and somehow, with a bit of luck and a lot of moxie, make it to IPO.… Read MoreRevel Systems inks payments deal with Shell as rumors swirl of a sale to IBM
Sep 08, 10:21PM
Reports claim that point-of-sale startup Revel Systems is in early acquisition negotiations with IBM, and while both Revel and IBM declined to comment when we asked about it, a deal that the startup announced today could provide an interesting clue for why a company like Big Blue might be interested in buying it. Today Revel announced a deal with Shell, the oil and gas giant, to implement… Read MoreChipotle to test burrito delivery by drone with Project Wing at Virginia Tech

Sep 08, 10:06PM
Buying cool is the best way for big companies to stay cool. Snapchat rightly believes in itself, and now it’s getting bankers to bet on that vision without selling its precious equity. Snapchat has secured a line of credit led by Morgan Stanley, potentially with other banks participating, according to Recode. Snapchat can borrow against that credit line and pay it back later if it… Read MoreHow to watch Disrupt SF 2016
