Watch Google unveil its new Pixel phones, Google Home and more
Oct 04, 2:00PM
It’s time for Google’s now-annual hardware event. Today, we expect to hear more about Google’s new phones (which will now fall under the Pixel brand), as well as its Google Home Alexa competitor, an updated Chromecast dongle. Maybe we will also see even more hardware in the form of a new Nexus tablet or updated Pixel Chromebooks and tablets. Rumor has it that Google could… Read MoreMasterCard launches its 'selfie pay' biometric authentication app in Europe
Oct 04, 1:52PM
MasterCard is moving from trials of facial biometrics for payment authentication, including one in the U.S. and Canada launched earlier this year, to its first proper rollout of what is colloquially referred to as ‘selfie pay’ (aka MasterCard Identity Check). Read MoreYahoo rebrands its main app as Yahoo Newsroom, lets you post your own news links
Oct 04, 1:40PM
Yahoo’s homepage used to be the place where web users started their day, reading the top headlines, sports scores, stock updates, and other news. On mobile, that’s no longer always the case. In an effort to get back into the game, Yahoo this morning is launching a rebranded version of its flagship application, now called Yahoo Newsroom. The goal with the new app is to compete… Read MoreAmazon's ComiXology is now creating its own original comics
Oct 04, 1:30PM
It makes sense – Amazon makes Prime Originals for video, so why wouldn’t its digital comics brand make its own comics? Now, ComiXology is doing just that with the debut of ComiXology Originals, a new lineup that brings series’ you can’t find anywhere else to the Kindle and ComiXology customers. The new books feature some heavyweight talent that reveal the people behind… Read MoreVMWare AirWatch announces support for smart glasses
Oct 04, 1:30PM
Turns out Dreamforce isn’t the only enterprise conference going on this week. VMware is also holding its at AirWatch Connect conference in Atlanta, and today it announced support for enterprise smart glasses on the AirWatch enterprise mobility management platform. Smart glasses, which are essentially computers that sit on your face, haven’t found widespread usage quite yet, but… Read MoreThis crazy mod shaves off the edges of the iPhone using gigantic saw and belt sander
Oct 04, 1:10PM
Who says you can’t physically mod an iPhone? This video shows it’s still possible. Using an industrial saw and massive belt sander, this guy shaves off just enough of his iPhone 7’s edge to make the sides flat. And you know what? It looks rad. Removing the rounded edges gives the iPhone 7 an industrial look — good luck finding a case that fits, though. Read MoreThe Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II might be the most flexible mirrorless camera
Oct 04, 1:06PM
Olympus unveiled the OM-D E-M1 Mark II at Photokina this year, and the follow-up to the company’s original pro offering is the kind of evolution you’d expect from a digital camera coming four years later on. Everything about the camera has been touched, from exterior design, to sensor and processor, to software features, and the result is a compact, capable device that seems ready… Read MoreBase wants to compete with the big boys in the CRM artificial intelligence game
Oct 04, 12:57PM
Base isn’t the biggest player in a crowded CRM market by any means, but it’s not shying away from a fight with industry giants like Salesforce, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP. This week it introduced Apollo, a stand-alone artificial intelligence piece its CEO claims is well ahead of its well-heeled competitors — and it chose to announce this new product in the middle of… Read MoreFisker is back with a new electric car to debut later in 2017
Oct 04, 12:23PM
Henrik Fisker, designer of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Aston Martin DB9, is back with an electric car company called Fisker, Inc. – not to be confused with the old Fisker, which was acquired by Chinese auto parts giant Wanxiang and retooled as Karma Automotive. The new Fisker will also be making EVs, though, with an all-electric “spiritual successor” to the Fisker Karma to… Read MoreMarvel's next Netflix show Iron Fist premieres March 17, 2017
Oct 04, 12:00PM
If you, like me, are nearing the end of your Luke Cage binge and feeling the imminent absence of new Marvel Netflix content, take heart: Danny Rand will be making his streaming service debut on March 17, 2017 with the premiere of Iron Fist. Iron Fist sets the stage for Marvel’s The Defenders miniseries on Netflix, bringing in the last hero on the team alongside Daredevil, Jessica Jones… Read MoreSpain's sunglasses startup Hawkers nabs $56M to take on the Ray-Bans of the world
Oct 04, 11:54AM
The world of sunglasses may be long in the cool stakes but has up to now been somewhat short on innovation. Now, the winds of technology are shifting those sands. You may have heard already about Snap (née Snapchat) turning the not-so-humble pair of 80s-style retro shades into a device for recording and posting videos on Snapchat. Now, at the other end of the spectrum, a startup out… Read MoreRestless Bandit raises $8M to help companies dig through their old resume piles
Oct 04, 11:30AM
While at LinkedIn, Steve Goodman and his co-founders spent a lot of their time trying to help companies dig up the best possible candidates from those that exist around the Web — but might not have applied. But after candidates have applied, their resumes are sitting in a database somewhere on a company’s servers. And they continue to sit there, likely untouched or only lightly… Read MoreSoutheast Asia's Eatigo lands $10M+ from TripAdvisor for its discount restaurant service
Oct 04, 11:10AM
Oh you thought location-based food deal services were done and dusted! Eatigo, a discount restaurant booking service that bills itself as the anti-Groupon, would have you believe otherwise. The startup has closed new funding to the tune of over $10 million from travel giant TripAdvisor to expand its service across Southeast Asia. Read MoreGoEuro banks another $70M to keep building out its travel planner platform
Oct 04, 9:57AM

Oct 04, 9:41AM
500 Startups’ organization in Southeast Asia — 500 Durians — is back with a new $50 million fund to press on with early-stage startup dealmaking in the emerging region, which counts over 600 million consumers. Read MoreSource{d}, a Spanish startup using AI to match developers to jobs, raises $6M
Oct 04, 7:57AM
Source{d} provides an interesting use-case for AI. The Spain-headquartered startup, which today is announcing $6 million in Series A funding, is using deep learning to help startups and larger companies recruit developers. Specifically, its AI tech is analysing the code of millions of developers via their open source contributions in order to match them to appropriate job openings.

Oct 04, 7:01AM
Google is hosting a press event today in San Francisco… and if the rumors are true, it should be a doozy. We’ve heard whispers about everything from new phones, to new Chromecasts, to a new VR headset, to a complete rethinking of Android as we know it. You might’ve assumed we’d be at the event covering it live with up-to-the-second updates from the scene… and,… Read MoreUE's app can pair more than 50 Bluetooth speakers
Oct 04, 7:01AM
The press material for PartyUp looks like the inevitable underground rave scene from a 90s hacker movie. Beyond that, I’m not really sure what the real world case use is for an app that’s able to connect more than 50 Bluetooth speakers together, in order to output the same sound all at once. Honestly, we’re starting to get into Improv Everywhere prank territory here. And… Read MoreWine retailer Tannico "quaffs" €3.8M Series A
Oct 04, 7:00AM
“FINE WINE RETAILER TANNICO QUAFFS €3.8M IN SERIES A FUNDING,” screams the press release, conjuring up an image of a startup spending all of its newly acquired cash on one giant booze up.
