In the aftermath of Italy's quake, tech supported relief efforts
Sep 18, 6:30AM
On August 24th, a warm summer night, all of Europe was shaken when an earthquake measuring 6.2 on the moment magnitude scale, hit central Italy. “The town [Amatrice] doesn’t exist anymore…..it’s all gone,” said Sergio Pirozzi, mayor of the small town of Amatrice during an interview immediately after the tragedy. More than 290 people died, and dozens more are still… Read MoreHow smart materials will literally reshape the world around us
Sep 18, 1:00AM
Over the past few years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been the white-hot center of a flurry of activity. The IoT may well be The Next Big Thing, but maybe the attention around sensors is misplaced… What if we didn’t even need embedded sensors to allow things to gather data about their surrounding environment? What if material could be a sensor in and of itself? Read MoreBrazil's tech-sector bright spots beckon as it begins to emerge from long economic crisis
Sep 17, 10:00PM
Brazil showed off its cultural brilliance, spirit and national pride during the recent Olympic Games in Rio. Despite a prolonged macroeconomic crisis, the world’s ninth largest economy is showing positive signs that it may roar back as an investment magnet and innovation powerhouse — especially driven by fast-growing tech sectors that have continued to deliver growth rates.

Sep 17, 6:51PM
I walked into a store and bought two today (there were plenty more around) so chances are you won’t have to resort to overpaying on eBay for a pre-order slot. After only a few hours playing with the Go, I already feel like it has a good chance of pulling me back into the game, at least for a little while, and the entire experience of using it is pretty painless. The Go Plus was easy to… Read MoreSpaceX's Mars Colonial Transporter can go "well beyond" Mars
Sep 17, 6:03PM
Elon Musk just teased that one of SpaceX’s more future-focused projects might be more ambitious than previously thought. On Twitter, the SpaceX CEO revealed that the company’s Mars Colonial Transporter (MCT) will need a new name, since in fact, it “can go well beyond Mars.” Turns out MCT can go well beyond Mars, so will need a new name… — Elon Musk… Read MoreGillmor Gang: Nickel and Dime
Sep 17, 5:00PM
The Gillmor Gang — John Borthwick, Frank Radice, Keith Teare, Kevin Marks, and Steve Gillmor. Recorded live Friday, September 16, 2016. It’s multiple streaming networks and the Third UI as the Gang meanders from iOS 10 to Twitter’s Apple TV global network debut. Debate prep for the deep learners. @stevegillmor, @Borthwick, @kevinmarks, @kteare, @fradice Produced and directed by… Read MoreWhat do you call a tech unicorn that goes public?
Sep 17, 3:30PM
Are tech IPOs coming back? That is an ever-present question in Silicon Valley during any lull in the flow of shining private companies that get anointed as public companies. And we certainly have been in a long lull. This year, just one venture-backed tech company, Twilio, has made it public, compared to an average of 37 per year between 2001 and 2015. But the comeback question isn’t… Read MoreFox files suit against Netflix for employee poaching
Sep 17, 3:03PM
20th Century Fox is looking to get an injunction against Netflix to prevent it from luring away employees under contract, according to a new lawsuit filed with an LA court. Recent Netflix hires Tara Flynn and Marcos Waltenberg were apparently the proverbial straws that broke the camel’s back, as both ex-Fox employees had contracts signed that tied the to the studio through at least… Read MoreMicrosoft will close its Skype office in London
Sep 17, 2:17PM
Microsoft is going to close Skype’s London office, in a move that could impact the jobs of the nearly 400 people employed there. The company told the Financial Times that is will “unify some engineering positions,” but that it “will be entering into a consultation process to help those affected by the redundancies.” The London office is a key part of… Read MoreConsumer Physics, creators of the SCiO molecular scanner, respond to Kickstarter claims
Sep 17, 2:05PM
Like most small products with a cult following, SCiO has its fans and detractors. Those detractors took to the Internet recently to complain that the handheld molecular scanner, which raised $2.5 million in 2014, still hasn’t shipped. The result? Negative press and plenty of Tweets. I asked SCiO’s creator, Dror Sharon, what was going on with the device and when it would ship and,… Read MoreThe race to be the all-in-one app
Sep 17, 5:00AM
There’s no denying that app fatigue is posing a challenge not just for new app discovery, but for new behavior discovery. So why don’t the most popular apps just enable the latest, greatest use cases and create an “open loop,” networking their existing apps? This article examines how the big players are campaigning to be the all-in-one app — and who stands a chance… Read MoreRobots pave the way for our sci-fi future now
Sep 17, 3:00AM
As robotics begins to leave controlled environments and navigate the real world alongside humans, the question remains: How will this affect the way we interact, work and talk to not only robots, but one another? Read MoreWhat do you call a 'non-entrepreneur? Cuba's best hackers
Sep 17, 1:00AM
What do you call an innovative person who builds a product out of nothing and launches something that will change people’s lives? Everywhere besides Cuba, you’d call this person an entrepreneur. You’d never expect in the land of communism, censorship and classic cars that you’d find a hotbed of entrepreneurship. Technically, it doesn’t exist. But in my eyes… Read MoreApple just killed one of the best battery saving hacks for your iPhone
Sep 16, 11:27PM
There’s plenty to like about iOS 10 — assuming that it didn’t brick your iPhone or iPad, of course — but you probably don’t know that Apple has quietly killed off one of the neatest — and least-known — battery life hacks. Read MoreVenture capital is a hell of a drug
Sep 16, 11:00PM
Cheap and accessible capital has advantages: More founders get to pursue big dreams and previously “unfundable companies” not only raise huge amounts of money, but some achieve unicorn status. Discussions about the downside of this trend are usually about systemic risks, but few are discussing the problem as it relates to founders — but who is bearing this risk and what really… Read MoreThe FAA asks airlines to prohibit powering up or charging the Galaxy Note 7 on flights
Sep 16, 10:41PM
A day after the Consumer Product Safety Commission formally issued a recall of Samsung’s occasional explosion-making Galaxy Note 7, the FAA is offering a more strictly worded warning against the troubled phablet. A week or so ago, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a fairly benign suggestion, “strongly advis[ing] passengers not to turn on or charge these devices on board… Read MoreTwo million people streamed the NFL on Twitter last night and loved it
Sep 16, 10:12PM
The NFL just released numbers on last night’s debut of NFL’s Thursday Night Football on Twitter, and they are pretty damn good. More than 2M people watched the game on Twitter, compared to 48M who watched it on TV. The average user also spent 22 minutes watching on Twitter, compared to 25 minutes watching on TV (which is the only stat that is almost identical). More specifically,… Read MoreGillmor Gang LIVE 09.16.16

Sep 16, 9:16PM
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people make up nearly 40% of the 1.6 million youth who experience homelessness every year. Meanwhile, trans people are almost four times more likely than the average American to be living on less than $10,000 a year. In short, there’s a bevy of issues that negatively impact the LGBTQ community. It’s time to do something about… Read MoreHighlights from Disrupt SF 2016
