Aug 02, 2:27AM
Snap shares fell 4% and closed at a record low on Tuesday at $13.10, but it wasn’t just because of the dreaded lockup expiration, which allowed some insiders to finally sell shares. Snap faced another devastating blow when it was revealed that the company won’t make it into the S&P 500, a popular stock market index. The way Snap has divided up its classes of stock have made… Read MoreOur favorite startups from 500 startups' 21st class

Last weekend Apple removed all major VPN apps from the App Store in China.

Aug 01, 10:00PM
Artificial intelligence seems to be nearly everywhere these days, yet most people have little understanding of AI technology, its capabilities and its limitations. Despite evocative names like “artificial intelligence,” “machine learning” and “neural networks,” such technologies have little to do with human thought or intelligence. Read MoreApple continues to struggle in China as revenue drops 10%
Aug 01, 9:13PM
Apple had a pretty good quarter — the stock just jumped 4 percent after hours on $45.4 billion in revenue and earnings per share of $1.67. But there’s one dark spot in the company’s results — and that’s performance in Greater China. Read MoreImpossible Foods just raised $75 million for its plant-based burgers
Aug 01, 9:11PM
Impossible Foods, the six-year-old, Redwood City, Ca.-based company known for its “juicy” meatless burgers, quietly announced $75 million in funding late last week, led by Temasek, with participation from Open Philanthropy, as well as earlier investors Bill Gates, Khosla Ventures and Horizon Ventures. Read MoreApple hits an all-time high and is seemingly in striking distance of being a $1 trillion company
Aug 01, 9:10PM
Apple had a semi-blowout quarter, sending the stock to an all-time high. The big jump means Apple is now a company worth more than $800 billion. It seemed not too long ago that Google might have a fair shot at being a bigger company than Apple when it comes to its market cap, but now Apple is on a steady march upwards. Which means the company may be a $1 trillion company before too long. Read MoreApple sees a big jump in iPad unit sales
Aug 01, 8:59PM
Apple’s third-quarter earnings are out and the company was quick to highlight its solid iPhone sales and burgeoning services segment. The big surprise, however, was the 15 percent year-over-year increase in iPad unit sales, which seems to contradict the dominating narrative that the company’s iPad segment was losing steam due to lengthier upgrade cycles. Read MoreApple is signaling a huge fourth quarter and Wall Street is loving it
Aug 01, 8:44PM
Apple set its expectations for the fourth quarter above what Wall Street was looking for today in its earnings report — just in time for a huge iPhone launch coming up soon. Apple said it expected to generate between $49-52 billion in Q4. The midpoint of that falls above what Wall Street expected, and it alludes to a big quarter where Apple has traditionally unveiled a new iPhone.

Aug 01, 8:37PM
Uber SVP and Chief Human Resources Officer Liane Hornsey vividly remembers the day Susan Fowler published her blog post alleging workplace harassment and management issues came out.

Aug 01, 8:23PM
The traditional keyboard and mouse (or trackpad) interface for desktop and laptop computers works for most people, but for a whole contingent of people with limited mobility or other conditions, it just isn’t an option. Eye tracking has long been an option, but it’s taken until now for it to get official native support in Windows. Read MoreNextbit ends support for Robin smartphone
Aug 01, 8:10PM

Aug 01, 7:46PM
What’s worse than going to the doctor? Taking your pet to the doctor.

Vetted wants to change this. Read MoreMore political headbanging on encryption threatens privacy
Aug 01, 6:52PM
The UK’s Home Secretary has yet again cranked up the pressure on messaging giants over use of end-to-end encryption to secure communications sent via popular services like WhatsApp — implying she would prefer tech companies voluntarily re-engineer their security systems so that decrypted data can be handed over to terror-fighting intelligence agencies on demand.

Aug 01, 6:42PM
Remember the third party controller your sibling/cousin/friend made you use when you visited his or her house in the NES days? Remember the pain you felt when the joystick wasn’t quite right and they were hosing you on Mortal Kombat while you were busy trying to figure out why your character kept kicking? Well the All Controller isn’t like that at all. The All Controller is a… Read MoreFacebook said to be working on dedicated video chat device
