Read MoreSnap is the new stubborn, slow-growing Twitter
May 10, 9:05PM
Twitter fell apart in 2013 when its growth slowed significantly in the face of competition and copying from Facebook, and users found it too hard to find the best content due to its unsorted reverse chronological feed. Its share price fell 18 percent a quarter later as the growth troubles continued. Snapchat fell apart today when its growth slowed significantly in the face of competition… Read MoreFormer US mental health chief left Google's life sciences arm to launch his own health startup

May 10, 8:59PM
The launch of Azure IoT Edge was one of Microsoft’s slightly more esoteric but interesting announcements at its Build developer conference in Seattle today.

Read MoreSnap is getting absolutely crushed after falling short of Wall Street's expectations
May 10, 8:05PM
Snap may have had a successful IPO, but that was pretty much wiped out after it reported its first-quarter earnings — where it completely whiffed on what Wall Street was expecting. The stock is down more than 20 percent in extended trading after it reported its first-quarter earnings. In short, it doesn’t look good. Read MoreSnapchat hits a disappointing 166M daily users, growing only slightly faster
May 10, 8:04PM
Snap’s growth rate increased just a little in Q1 2017 — a bad start to its first quarterly earnings report since going public. Snap hit 166 million daily active users at a growth rate of 5 percent, compared to the 158 million DAUs it had in Q4. Snap shares fell more than 24 percent in after-hours trading as investors fled, seeing its long-term potential diminished by its growth… Read MoreCBS launches an All Access-Showtime 'skinny bundle' for cord cutters

May 10, 6:43PM

Just… maybe a little shinier. But how much will it cost? Read MoreA new 3D printing technology uses electricity to create stronger objects for manufacturing
May 10, 6:03PM
Nothing actually appears to happen when the Essentium rep flips the switch to fire up the company’s demo. The change is undetectable standing a foot away from the Stacker industrial 3D printer, but if you lean forward and peek into the small gap between the print head and bed, you’ll spot two small semi-circles that glow purple like a range oven on its highest setting. It’s… Read MoreShapeScale launches pre-orders for their fitness-minded 3D body scanner
May 10, 5:46PM
When you hop on a bathroom scale, all you get is one number describing the weight of your entire body. That number doesn’t account for muscle, but rallies you behind the goal of dropping that number lower and lower. ShapeScale utilizes 3D body scans to create a map of where you’re gaining and losing weight/muscle on your body.

May 10, 5:30PM
Cities are shaping the story of America. The great success we have seen in our nation’s cities is clear — data shapes the narrative.
