Apr 18, 8:49PM
You can’t be hanging around in the world of crowdfunding for as long as Kickstarter without spotting a few trends here and there.

Virtual reality really isn’t good enough yet to justify going broke for.

Today, HTC, which makes the popular Vive headset, announced a few deals that will help new customers spread out the cost of the… Read MoreVolkswagen's I.D.

The NES Classic is discontinued planet-wide
Apr 18, 7:46PM
Well, it was fun while it lasted. The NES Classic Edition (it went by several names, but you know what I mean) was the must-have item of the holidays and pretty much ever since, owing to short supply of the compact retro gaming console. And Nintendo just confirmed that it was indeed ending production of the device in Europe, the last region they were still officially available.

Read MoreFacebook launches React VR, a new JavaScript framework for building basic VR apps

Apr 18, 7:27PM
Apple quietly rolled out updated versions of its iWork, iMovie and GarageBand apps on Mac and iOS today, making them free for all customers on both platforms. Many customers already had free copies of these apps, as they came free with new Mac or iOS devices. The pricing change, however, removes the requirement to have bought new Apple hardware to get the apps for free. This expands the… Read MoreAudi's latest concept is a new all-electric Tesla Model X competitor

Apr 18, 7:00PM
After years of talk about smart cities, people are wondering when will we see them really begin to take shape. What will they look like? How will we interact with them?

That’s all about… Read MoreMark Zuckerberg speaks out about Cleveland shooting
Apr 18, 6:39PM
At the F8 conference today, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg addressed this weekend’s shooting in Cleveland, which the suspected shooter filmed and posted on Facebook.

Apr 18, 6:18PM
LinkedIn sounds like it’s getting a little less buttoned down under Microsoft — the social network has a new version of its Terms of Service going into effect and the changes include a new privacy policy that covers new and upcoming LinkedIn features that aim to give profiles more visibility, and to make it easier to actually achieve the social “links” implied in… 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.
