Oct 11, 2:18PM
Apple has now unveiled its own official measurements for iOS 10 adoption, which comes in at 54 percent. That means the majority of iOS device owners are running the new mobile operating system. What’s interesting, however, is how different Apple’s official figures are from the third-party estimates released earlier this week, which saw much higher adoption among their install… Read MoreNew auto tech VC firm V5 starts out with a $200M fund
Oct 11, 2:06PM
Cars are almost the new social apps when it comes to VC interest, especially given the pace of development of autonomous car tech and self-driving systems.

Oct 11, 2:00PM
Using a mixture of different materials in 3D printing has been difficult for the user end, requiring basically a knowledge of programming and specific training, but new software developed by MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab aims to be the “Photoshop for 3D materials,” making it accessible to basically anyone.

Despite massive structural changes in the American healthcare system, proper care for the nation’s aging baby boomers remains out of reach for many people.

A new startup… Read MoreWestern Digital's external hard drives get a makeover
Oct 11, 1:36PM
External storage isn’t sexy. It’s important and probably necessary. But it’s not sexy. In fact, here’s a final caveat from the this morning’s Western Digital press release about its new external drives, “However ‘unsexy’ the world of data is currently…” What you have there is a company that’s largely accepted its fate on that… Read MoreObama says private and public cooperation will get U.S. to Mars in the 2030s

The President highlight the need for cooperation between public and private space interests in meeting that goal,… Read MoreNetatmo launches an indoor climate monitor
Oct 11, 1:02PM
Netatmo’s first device was a sophisticated weather station. But it’s not for everyone. Chances are you don’t need to know the historical trend when it comes to the humidity in your house. That’s why the company is releasing the Healthy Home Coach, an indoor device that lets you see stats about your home at a glance. In many ways, the Healthy Home Coach looks similar to… Read MoreMicrosoft announces GA of Dynamics 365 with AI features

Oct 11, 12:59PM
Hinge, the newly pivoted “relationship app”, has today unleashed an app that it believes is the solution to the “dating apocalypse.” The whole idea is to ensure that users are all on the app for the same general reason: to find an actual relationship. In order to do that, the company has totally rejiggered the app’s UI and protocol, as well as adding a $7/month… Read MoreHERE and Iowa team up on self-driving and smart highway infrastructure
Oct 11, 12:51PM
Making smarter cars means working together with the people who maintain and operate the roads, so it’s promising to see location platform operator HERE announce a partnership with the Iowa Department of Transportation to help usher along the deployment of automated vehicle tech.

Oct 11, 12:30PM
There’s a certain NPD slide that Netgear likes to point to in all of its press and investor material. It shows the company’s security camera marketshare climbing sharply against the likes of Nest, Canary and D-Link. It’s understandable that the company is so excited to share infographic – connected security cameras have been a successful new vertical for the company… Read MoreIMAX's first European VR center will open before the end of 2016
Oct 11, 12:28PM
Huge movie company IMAX is focusing on smaller screens – but still keeping things immersive – with a push into public, shared VR experiences. The latest tentpole in that project is a brand new VR Center for Europe, one of multiple pilot locations for IMAX’s new push into virtual reality around the world, including an initial one currently being set up in LA.

Oct 11, 11:30AM
The press release for GE’s newest washing machine opens with the words, “Life is complicated enough.” I mean, fair enough. Thus far the week has been marked by one of the most bizarre presidential debates in the history of the office and Samsung phone that just can’t seem to stop malfunction – and it’s only the Tuesday of a four-day work week. If keeping… Read MoreProfessional development platform Everwise lands $16 million, led by Sequoia

Oct 11, 11:30AM
The desire for virtual reality is no new revelation. Since the renaissance artists have played with panoramas, depth, and other tools of perception to create illusions that are virtually or “almost” real. 21st-century virtual reality (with “virtual” now meaning software-rendered) is also a well-trod idea within the still nascent history of computing technology. VR has… Read MoreVenueNext raises $15 million to take its app beyond U.S. sports stadiums
