Sep 12, 6:12AM
This is a list of tech deals from the past half decade that were surprising because of their size, impact or seeming randomness. Some have paid off, while others (cough*Microsoft-Nokia*cough) remain head-scratchers. Read MoreSingapore's Red Dot Payment closes $5.2M Series B round

This tiny sensor could sleep for years between detection events
Sep 12, 1:48AM
It’s easy enough to put an always-on camera somewhere it can live off solar power or the grid, but deep in nature, underground, or in other unusual circumstances every drop of power is precious. Luckily, a new type of sensor developed for DARPA uses none at all until the thing it’s built to detect happens to show up. That means it can sit for years without so much as a battery top-up. Read MoreFacebook is testing a feature for mentorships between users
Sep 12, 1:00AM
Earlier this year, Facebook signalled a plan to move into LinkedIn’s territory with the launch of job advertising. Now it appears to be taking another step to help develop the professional you.

Sep 11, 11:36PM
It seems like just the other day that Reddit finally banned a handful of its most hateful and deplorable subreddits, including r/coontown and r/fatpeoplehate. The move was, at the time, derided by some as pointless, akin to shooing criminals away from one neighborhood only to trouble another. But a new study shows that, for Reddit at least, it has had lasting positive effects. Read MoreThe Jammy is a steel string guitar that fits in a pocket
Sep 11, 10:54PM
As a fan of electronic guitars — as opposed to plain-old electrics — the Jammy seems like a very interesting piece of kit. Designed to be played like a regular guitar, you fret on the top part of the neck and strum the strings on the bottom half. Because it has only five frets you change the octave by pulling the neck out from 0 to the full length of 12 inches.

Sep 11, 10:28PM
Presumably, it would be good for business to speak onstage at an Apple event. But John Riccitiello, the CEO of Unity Technologies, says you won’t see him presenting at tomorrow’s Apple event, or that of any other platform company. We talked with Riccitiello about the company’s approach, along with the short-term future of AR and VR, where Unity is positioned to play a… Read MoreEEVO, a startup powering VR apps for the BBC and others, raises $1.3M

Sep 11, 10:20PM
Facebook doesn’t want you to burn through your mobile data plan just to keep watching its videos. That’s why it’s testing a new feature called Instant Videos that downloads and caches Facebook videos to your phone while you’re on Wi-Fi so you can watch them later on the go for free.

Sep 11, 9:02PM
Microsoft today announced the preview launch of a new family of virtual machines for its Azure cloud computing platform that’s specifically geared toward bursty workloads.

Sep 11, 8:05PM

This is considered one of the most impactful cyber attacks… Read MoreSenator says Equifax should offer customers free credit security freezes
