How does it work, who does it, and why… Read MoreThe winner of the meal kit market won't be a meal kit company at all
Apr 16, 3:00PM
Now, meal kit companies are facing an onslaught of competition from newcomers and big food brands alike. Turning a profit has proven elusive.

We deify horrible frat-boy brogrammer assholes, while funding, and celebrating, morally bankrupt apps that exist to stand in for their mothers and/or servants. We destroy jobs and displace the working class. We cater to the rich and privileged urban elite, while… Read MoreSmart running shoes won't make you faster, but they could help you avoid getting hurt
Apr 15, 7:41PM
Altra’s Torin IQ were inevitable.

Read MoreYour customer's online journey is only part of the story
Apr 15, 1:28PM
For years we’ve been hearing about the promise of customer experience management, the notion that you can understand your customer at a highly detailed level and serve them the content, products, services and even ads that matter (or at least make sense) to them. Today’s marketing software is bringing that idea closer to reality. But technology is only part of the brand-consumer… Read MoreReport: UberRush will stop handling restaurant deliveries
