Bose gets into the hearing aid headphone business
Dec 12, 5:32PM
When you’ve got a punny name as good as “Hearphones” (no Google, I did not mean “headphones”) in the chamber, you owe it to the world to deliver product. For Bose, the emerging space of hearing assisting headphones was the perfect place for that fun bit of word play. The company’s newly unveiled earbuds seem to occupy a similar spot as a number of emerging… Read MoreInstagram brings live video broadcasts to all U.S. users
Dec 12, 5:30PM
Instagram announced its Live video broadcasting features in November, which allow users to show your followers what you’re up to in real-time, and also let users browse for Live videos happening at this very moment as selected by Instagram algorithmically. Now, it’s making these features available to all users in the U.S. over the course of the next few days. The Live features live… Read MoreHBO leads the Golden Globes again, as attention for Netflix and Amazon cools
Dec 12, 5:11PM
The top two streaming services won’t be dominating the Golden Globes this year, despite the investments Netflix and Amazon have made into funding their own original content. In fact, Netflix is having a down year – with just five TV nominations, that’s the lowest number of nods it’s received since entering the race three years ago, Variety notes. Amazon also received… Read MoreJay-Z backed JetSmarter raises $105 million to become Uber for private jets

JetSmarter has raised $105 million in Series C funding, at a $1.5 billion pre-money valuation, to build its marketplace for private jet services according to Sergey Petrossov, the startup’s founder and CEO.

Dec 12, 5:00PM
Dropbox is launching a universal Windows app for Xbox, making it the first cloud storage provider to do so, says Microsoft. The app will allow its users to view and share their files, including photos and videos, from the TV. That means you’ll be able to stream your videos from Dropbox via your Xbox, without having to download a local copy. It also means that you’ll be able to… Read MoreThe StällDesk türns your boring tablë into an exciting ständing dësk
Dec 12, 4:45PM
Around the neighborhood they call me a few things. Stinky John is one and Old Rattlepants is another. But what they really love to call me is Johnny Standing Desk. You see I learned the joys of standing desks early and the folks at StällDesk want you to follow in older Rattlepants’ footsteps. The StällDesk is basically an easy-to-assemble booster for your laptop, keyboard, and mouse. I… Read MoreAdidas puts a limited number of its 3D printed running shoes up for sale
Dec 12, 4:16PM
Five or so months after showing off its 3D printing running shoes, Adidas is finally ready to put the things on sale – with, naturally, a few key caveats. First, they’re going to run $333. But let’s be honest, if you’ve been seriously eyeing the things since they were announced over the summer, you knew they weren’t going to come cheap. Also unsurprisingly, the… Read MoreFacebook rolls out a lightweight web version of its photo-sharing service, Moments
Dec 12, 3:58PM
When Facebook originally launched its photo-sharing service Moments, the idea was to offer friends and family a better way to send each other photos without having to post them more publicly on the social network itself. The mobile app has since become a moderate success, ranking #171 Overall on the iTunes App Store and #131 Overall on Google Play. Now, Facebook is making Moments a more… Read MoreSuper Nintendo World theme park at Universal Studios to open in Japan by 2020
Dec 12, 3:53PM
Mario’s got a date with Universal Studios theme parks, and the first concrete one is 2020: That’s the year Nintendo and Universal are targeting for the debut of the first of three Super Nintendo Worlds.

Flavio is a friendly guy with a lot of ideas about what it will take to bring big data… Read More
Panasonic's new shopping system automatically bags and tallies your bill
Dec 12, 3:28PM
For some reason I hate everything about grocery shopping, but I must share this hate with others since companies like Amazon, and now Panasonic are throwing a lot of tech at the problem. WSJ reports that Panasonic is working on a checkout setup for convenience stores that will scan items as you place them into your basket, and then automatically bag it all up for you at checkout so that all… Read MoreUberPOOL streamlines matchmaking, pickups and driver-side features
Dec 12, 3:00PM
Uber is making some changes to how uberPOOL operates under the hood, which are designed to make connecting the dots between riders and drivers easier for a more streamlined experience overall. The changes are mostly hidden from the rider, as they involve backend upgrades in routing and matchmaking, as well as driver-oriented fixes to make it easier to manage driving POOL, but the end result… Read MoreCoreOS updates it Tectonic container platform to make updates easy
Dec 12, 2:30PM
CoreOS today launched an update to its Kubernetes-based Tectonic container management service that makes it easy for its users to enable automatic updates of both Kubernetes itself and the containers it manages. Until now, it was surprisingly hard to keep a Kubernetes cluster updated without downtime. With this new service, which CoreOS calls “self-driving infrastructure,” users… Read MoreNetflix lands on Google's Daydream VR
Dec 12, 2:15PM
Daydream got a long list of new apps and services last week, including HBO Now, but Netflix was listed only as “coming soon.” Now, the Netflix VR app has arrived, as a separate, standalone app that works with Daydream VR headsets, including the Google Daydream View. The VR version of Netflix for Daydream looks very similar to the one that was previously available for… Read MoreBlackmore raises $3.5 million to build better eyes for your self-driving car
Dec 12, 2:12PM
A Bozeman, Montana startup called Blackmore Sensors and Analytics Inc. has raised $3.5 million to build Lidar systems that can help vehicles see more details about what’s in front of them than existing sensors do today. The company spun out of a research and development firm called Bridger Photonics that developed Lidar systems for micron-precise laser cutting and welding, originally,… Read MoreMicrosoft Ventures launches new fund for AI startups and backs Element AI incubator
Dec 12, 2:05PM
Microsoft Ventures today announced two steps that point to how the tech giant’s VC arm wants to get involved in artificial intelligence in a big way. First, it’s now going to pursue investments through a special fund dedicated to AI startups that focus on “inclusive growth and positive impact on society.” Second, it is the first announced backer for Element AI, a… Read MoreAtomic AI helps marketers write better
Dec 12, 2:01PM
Marketers love to produce “content” (and they also love calling journalism “content,” but that’s a separate issue). There is nothing easy about writing, though, especially when you’re trying to get somebody to buy your product. Atomic.AI from Atomic Reach combines machine learning with real-time writing guidance to help marketers write better texts that… Read MoreMicrosoft had the best month for consumer Surface sales, partially credits MacBook 'disappointment'
Dec 12, 2:01PM
According to Microsoft, November marked the company’s best month for consumer Surface sales by volume (a list that excludes Surface Hub electronic whiteboard). The ever-growing line’s pre-holiday success was no doubt due in no small part to the recent arrival of the refreshed Surface Book and the brand new Surface Studio, the swiveling all-in-one that marks one of the more… Read MoreThe Galaxy Note 7 is getting a 30-percent charging limit in the UK, not a full bricking (yet)
Dec 12, 2:01PM
On Friday, Samsung loudly confirmed its plans to push a software update that would kill US-based Note 7s’ ability to charge – effectively rendering them useless when not plugged directly into a power source. It was a more decisive follow up to an earlier update that wouldn’t allow the phone to charge over 60-percent, attempting to wean those last few Note diehards off… Read MoreMojio raises another $7 million for its connected car platform
Dec 12, 2:00PM
Vancouver, Canada-based Mojio started out as a connected car gadget and platform that wasn’t unlike Automatic and similar services. That approach didn’t really work out for the company, though, and in late 2015 Mojio pivoted from targeting consumers to going after the B2B2C market with a focus on its platform play. In the process, the company’s founder and CEO Jay Giraud… 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.
