Jun 27, 10:52PM
If you need to transfer a couple hundred megs to a coworker or friend across the country, you aren’t short on options. In fact, options are thick on the ground, and all have their own issues.

Read MoreThere's a war brewing in Japan, and the banks should pay attention
Jun 27, 10:00PM
People often use the term “time machine model” in Japan. It refers to the lag with Silicon Valley when it comes to startups and innovation. When a time machine model gains momentum locally, usually it means war. The most notable recent example of this is the war of the news apps. Now there is a similar war brewing in Japan; this time it is for mobile P2P payments. Read MoreGoogle News gets a fresh coat of paint
Jun 27, 10:00PM
After years of sticking with essentially the same design, nobody was going to accuse Google News of looking modern. While the rest of the company’s portfolio received major facelifts in recent years, Google News started looking a bit neglected (and cluttered). That’s all changing today.

Read MoreSomeone claiming to be a VC admits he doesn't hire women out of fear he'll get sued
Jun 27, 9:01PM
On KQED’s Forum show today host Queena Sook Kim discussed venture capital’s sexist culture. But during the call, someone claiming to be a VC emailed the show to say he would not hire a woman “out of fear that we will get sued.” Not hiring women capable of filling a role at your workplace simply because they are female is illegal.

Jun 27, 9:00PM

Ford’s GoBike dock-based bike-share program kicks off tomorrow, June 28 in the Bay Area. The program is being run in collaboration with Motivate, a platform operator and service provider for bike-sharing networks, and will offer up 3,500 bikes by summer’s end throughout San Francisco, the East Bay and San Jose.

Jun 27, 7:46PM

Jun 27, 7:45PM
Last month, a team of MIT engineers launched Jungle Hawk Owl from the back of a compact car.

The craft was designed to address a challenge posed by the U.S. Air Force. Read MoreDating apps are embracing video
Jun 27, 7:30PM
Dating apps are, in their own way, a form of social networking – especially as they expand into new areas like friend-finding or professional networking.

Jun 27, 5:06PM
