After a year of rumors, YouTube is finally drawing back the curtain on its latest play for entertainment industry domination — a live TV service.

Feb 28, 8:00PM
Social networks may be the most valuable and durable types of businesses powered by “network effects,” the phenomenon of products or services becoming more powerful the more people use them. This is one reason the imminent IPO of social/mobile app Snap, which thrives on network effects, is being so closely watched. Another is that Snap represents the first credible threat to Facebook.

Yesterday, the Game Developers Conference kicked off in downtown San Francisco, and consolidation is a central theme for this year’s attendees.

Amazon’s S3 web-based storage service is experiencing widespread issues, leading to service that’s either partially or fully broken on websites, apps and devices upon which it relies. The AWS offering provides hosting for images for a lot of sites, and also hosts entire websites, and app backends including Nest.

Read MoreIntel's diversity efforts are somewhat paying off
Feb 28, 6:00PM
It became clear in last year’s mid-year diversity report that Intel had a leaky bucket, meaning that even though it had increased the number of underrepresented minorities it was bringing in, its overall minority representation was on the decline. Based on Intel’s latest diversity report, it seems the company is moving in the right direction when it comes to retention of diverse… Read MoreGoogle's note-taking app Keep joins G Suite, now integrates with Google Docs

Feb 28, 5:48PM
Like CES, the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona also now attracts its fair share of car makers. Ford was an early adopter a few years ago, and now others are joining the fray, too. I sat down with Dieter May, BMW’s senior vice president of Digital Services and Business Models (in an i3, of course). Read MoreWorkJam raises $12 million to communicate with hourly workers
Feb 28, 5:42PM
There is plenty of enterprise software for the white-collar workforce, but there still isn’t an ideal way to communicate with employees who aren’t sitting at a desk. That’s the thesis behind WorkJam, which is announcing $12 million in funding from Lerer Hippeau Ventures, Blumberg Capital, Founder Collective and NovelTMT.

Feb 28, 5:20PM
NASA released a statement in support of SpaceX following that company’s surprise announcement that it will be sending two people around the moon sometime next year. The comment actually says a lot despite not saying very much, and could be a sign that the growing private interest in space will help propel renewed and expanded achievement from the public sector, too.

Feb 28, 5:08PM
Google is making a significant change to how its app store, Google Play, will work in terms of making the best games more easily discoverable by end users.

Feb 28, 5:03PM

Feb 28, 4:48PM
Ford’s new “Autolivery” van concept has a terrible name, but is actually based on interesting core ideas.
