Oct 07, 1:44PM
There’s was a brief moment during this week’s Google hardware event when everyone following online had a momentary panic attack. The words “Verizon exclusive” were floated and those watching at home understandably tensed up. Carrier exclusives are, of course, ultimately rough for the consumer. Thankfully, however, the contract averse will be able to pick an unlocked… Read MoreGoogle's self-made hardware is getting pop-up shop in New York
Oct 07, 1:30PM
Google’s new hardware is getting a Google-owned physical retail experience – temporarily. The search giant is opening a popup shop in Google at 96 Sprint St. in New York beginning on October 20 called “Made by Google.” This is the same tagline the tech titan uses to market its own-brand hardware, which now includes the new PIxel, Pixel XL, Daydream View, Google Home… Read MoreThe case for Twitter's independence (unless Google or management buys)
Oct 07, 1:30PM
The problems associated with the widespread rumors of Twitters “for sale” status and that the management team is divided on whether or not to sell the company were compounded this morning with reports that Google, Disney and Apple will not be bidders. The stock price is down 20% to $19.79 at the time of writing. Who runs Twitter – Board or Management? The impressive Board… Read MoreReminder: We're meeting tonight in São Paulo, Brazil
Oct 07, 1:21PM
Can’t wait to see you all tonight in São Paulo. We’ll be meeting at Cubo tomorrow at 7pm until 10pm. There will be free booze and some finger food and I’d love to see you there. This is basically a micro-meetup – an opportunity to talk about your startup and network. No agenda, no speeches, and no onstage pitching. I’ll be there and I’m ready to hear… Read MoreLights, cameras, Dreamforce
Oct 07, 1:09PM
Salesforce chairman and CEO Marc Benioff knows a thing or two about how to put on a good show, and as usual he pulled out all the stops this week at Dreamforce, his company’s massive customer conference in San Francisco. He was boasting at the keynote that 175,000 people registered online (and another 15 million were watching online). I can tell you most people I spoke to… Read MoreBMW, Toyota and Allianz back Nauto and its camera-based approach to making autonomous vehicles

The startup and its investors declined to disclose the… Read MoreSingapore's Nugit raises $5.2M to make sense of big data using artificial intelligence
Oct 07, 12:49PM

Oct 07, 6:42AM
Upon being guided into the inner-sanctum at the Oculus Connect developers conference, I was told to leave my phone and backpack behind. The powers that be told me I would not be allowed to take any photos or video of my demo with Oculus’s new inside-out-positional-tracking-standalone-virtual-reality-headset-prototype (more simply code-named ‘Santa Cruz’) once I was… Read MoreCrunch Report | Snap Possibly to IPO in March

Report: Verizon wants $1 billion discount after Yahoo privacy concerns
Oct 07, 12:33AM
It’s bad news for Yahoo. The company is in the midst of finalizing its sale to Verizon, but recent revelations about hacking and spying may be costing them a pretty penny. A story from the New York Post alleges that Verizon is now asking Yahoo for a hefty $1 billion discount to finalize what was supposed to be a $4.8 billion deal. (Full disclosure: TechCrunch is owned by Verizon,… Read MoreWatch an Uber self-driving car give two Pittsburgh Steelers a ride
Oct 07, 12:17AM
Uber’s self-driving cars are operating on Pittsburgh streets, so it’s only natural they’d pick up some professional athletes along the way. Defensive ends Cam Heyward and Stephon Tuitt likely max out the passenger capacity of the back of that Uber-tech equipped Ford Fusion that picks them up, but they do manage to get in and take the trip. My favorite moment here might be… Read MoreSpotify and Apple Music get unofficial mixes, the best part of SoundCloud
Oct 06, 11:35PM
SoundCloud’s big differentiator is its offering of unofficial, user-uploaded content that the major labels don’t release and that isn’t on Spotify or Apple Music. Or at least they weren’t. The first unofficial single-track remixes just went live on Spotify and Apple Music thanks to their partnerships with music rights management service Dubset. Apple struck a deal… Read MoreBuying Washio's assets, Rinse cleans up part of the on-demand laundry market
Oct 06, 11:17PM
Nearly a month after the on-demand laundry service Washio shut its doors, its assets have been starched, pressed and folded into the operations of one of its main competitors — Rinse. For a while, competition for on-demand laundering seemed to be a regional game, with both Rinse and Washio vying for territory along the West Coast and, eventually, nationally. On the East Coast, startups… Read MoreIn buyers' market, acquirers look to lock in management teams longer
Oct 06, 11:14PM
Acquisitions are often celebrated in the press. But academic research suggests that 70 percent to 90 percent of mergers don’t succeed, owing to a wide variety of factors. Buyers overvalue the synergies they’ll derive, or they underestimate the impact of the associated costs, or they rely too heavily on assumptions about where a market is heading. Of course, another reason… Read MoreToppling democracy one byte at a time
Oct 06, 11:00PM
As the saying goes, “all politics is local.” And now, so is hacking. Cyber attacks popularized on the silver screen are now occurring in every aspect of our life. Our election system is not immune from this new reality. Read MoreCo-founder Antti Pasila becomes CEO at programmatic ad company Kiosked
Oct 06, 10:34PM

Pasila, who previously served as the company’s chief strategy officer, said his appointment is part of a broader shift: “The key thing is, we’re focusing our resources on the supply side.” In other words, while there are no plans to get rid… 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.
