Brooks Entwistle, a former Chairman of Goldman Sachs Southeast Asia, was announced today… Read MoreTim Cook 'disagrees' with Donald Trump's response to Charlottesville violence
Aug 17, 3:45AM
Apple CEO Tim Cook has criticized U.S. President Trump’s reaction to the violent events that took place over the weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, which left one woman dead. “I disagree with the president and others who believe that there is a moral equivalence between white supremacists and Nazis, and those who oppose them by standing up for human rights.

Tech is not winning the battle against white supremacy
Aug 17, 1:54AM
Content warning: This post contains racial slurs, homophobic language and very graphic depictions of racism and violence. If you were just paying attention to press releases, this week it’d be easy to believe that tech companies are winning the war on hate.

Aug 16, 8:22PM
Roku has begun to crack down more on private channels – a feature originally intended to allow developers to test their channels ahead of submission to Roku’s channel store, but which soon became a means for channels streaming pirated content to reach Roku’s user base. According to several reports, the company has recently begun to display warning messages when users add a… Read MoreOfo comes to the US, joining the bike-share fray in Seattle
Aug 16, 8:15PM
Seattle seems like an unlikely venue for a duel between bike-sharing companies: it’s rainy, hilly, its residents can’t drive and another bike-share program recently went belly-up publicly and ignominiously. But Ofo, one of several Chinese giants in the space, is the third company to launch in the city in a month. It’s the company’s first foray in the States.

Several Amazon brands have been seeing tremendous growth, it found… Read MoreGoogle brings Q&As to Google Maps
