PSA: Don't share your old AIM screen name
Oct 07, 12:11AM
Hello it’s the fun police! Were you having a nice time engaging in nostalgia about the death of AOL Instant Messenger? Was it fun to look back on your old AIM login, how young you were, KrazyKat99, without a care in the world? Yes, we at TechCrunch were also tempted to indulge in this requisite millennial nostalgia exercise! I do not blame you, but I will warn you. Sharing old… Read MoreKaspersky hearing with House committee set for late October

In the latest installment of the ongoing saga of Russia-based cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab and the U.S. government, the company has a new date with Congress.

Read MoreOne Night, the boutique last-minute hotel app, is expanding internationally to London
Oct 06, 10:16PM
One Night, the last-minute booking app for boutique hotels, is expanding internationally — starting today with London. One Night was created by Standard International, which is the parent company of Standard Hotels. Originally the company launched an app called One Night Standard, which was a way to get great deals on same-day bookings (starting at 3pm) at Standard properties. But… Read MoreElon pushes back Tesla Semi unveiling to focus on Model 3 and Puerto Rico
Oct 06, 9:39PM
Back at the beginning of September, Elon Musk tweeted that the company would unveil its long rumored all-electric semi truck on October 26th. He noted that it was “tentatively” scheduled, leaving the door open for a date change if need be. Turns out that was a good call. Read MoreBenchmarks contradict 'Apple slowed down my iPhone' claims
Oct 06, 8:46PM
It’s a refrain we all hear every year around September: “I swear, whenever they release a new iPhone, Apple makes all the old ones run worse to make you upgrade.” But thousands of performance tests conducted over the years by Futuremark users show that the conspiracy is mostly in your mind. Read MoreSwitch finishes up 22% in data center IPO
Oct 06, 8:14PM
Las Vegas-based data center operator Switch went public on the New York Stock Exchange today, under the ticker “SWCH.” After pricing its IPO above the proposed range at $17, the company closed at $20.73, up almost 22 percent. The company raised $531 million in its offering. Read MoreSpiro raises $3M to build CRM tools for businesses that don't like CRM
Oct 06, 8:10PM
Spiro aims to sell CRM software to businesses that have been avoiding traditional CRM products. CEO Adam Honig told me that he and his co-founders originally set out to build artificial intelligence products that could assist with CRM. But then they started hearing from companies that weren’t using any CRM at all. So the team ended up broadening its approach. Read MorePuerto Rico governor says 'Let's talk' after Elon Musk offers to solve the island's power crisis
Oct 06, 7:12PM
Puerto Rico’s power grid has been practically demolished in the wake of hurricane Maria. It now has a once in a lifetime opportunity to rebuild and the island’s governor Ricardo Rossello wants to have a chat with Elon Musk about his recent offer to use Tesla batteries and solar power for the the job. Read MoreFlexport's epic plan to build a freight empire with its $110M raise
Oct 06, 7:00PM
“We’re actually out here trying to create value, not just give venture capital money away” says Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen. “It’s counterintuitive. The more the business works, the more cash it needs.” That’s because Flexport doesn’t ship bits, it ships atoms. Lots of them. Flexport is a freight forwarding logistics network. If you produce a… Read MoreThis smart bandage releases meds on command for better healing
Oct 06, 6:32PM
Taking care of a cut or scrape usually means swapping out the bandage a few times, and maybe putting a little healing cream or hydrogel on there. But what if the dressing could dispense that stuff on its own? That’s the idea behind a smart bandage now being tested by engineers from the University of Nebraska, Harvard and MIT. Read MoreTake a look at 29 of the new emoji Apple is about to put on your iPhone
Oct 06, 5:27PM
Wizards, Pies, hedgehogs and new genderless characters will all be arriving on your iPhone and iPad soon thanks to an upcoming update to iOS11. Emoji have been a very bizarre –if not somewhat predictable — evolution in how we communicate, but the standard is always evolving. Though Unicode showed off the 2017 list back in March, today we have our first look at the designs that… Read MoreRoivant looks to quickly turn the page, starting with a Phase 3 win
Oct 06, 5:23PM
A new hormonal therapy designed to treat uterine fibroids called relugolix has finished a Phase 3 study in Japan, and the results are positive. That’s welcome news for a SoftBank-backed company based in Basel, Switzerland called Roivant Sciences that’s separately dealing with much lousier news. Read MoreButterfly nabs $2.4M seed round to improve managers with targeted tips
Oct 06, 5:20PM
One of life’s puzzles that eludes me most is how a person could enjoy corporate trainings enough to spend their time designing and running them. Perhaps only with disdain for the status quo can a startup create something that people not only don’t hate, but find helpful. The idea for Butterfly originated from poor experiences the founders had when receiving leadership training. Read MoreSourcegraph raises $20M to bring more live collaboration to coding
Oct 06, 5:00PM
Quinn Slack thinks we’re close to the future that Back to the Future II promised back in the ’80s — flying cars, artificial intelligence, sending rockets into space and the rest of the whole suite — but there’s a way to get there even faster. That’s why he and his co-founder Beyang Liu started Sourcegraph, a development environment for programmers. Read MoreWatch the big baddies get bigger in new 'Pacific Rim: Uprising' trailer
Oct 06, 4:40PM
Pacific Rim: Uprising knows how you like your robots: Huge, and piloted by John Boyega speaking in his actual English accent. Also it knows how you like your Kaiju monsters — larger than ever before and with “evolved” abilities. The new trailer of the movie makes the sequel to Guillermo Del Toro’s loving mega monster flick look like a very, very fun ride that succeeds… Read MoreLogitech's Craft keyboard offers premium typing with big bonuses
Oct 06, 2:25PM
Logitech’s keyboards have long been my keyboards of choice, thanks to their versatility and focus on good design. But the new Craft keyboard may be my favorite Logitech keyboard of all time — and possibly my favorite keyboard, period. Read MoreAOL Instant Messenger is shutting down after 20 years
Oct 06, 2:23PM
The pioneering chat app that taught us to text is pulling the plug. On December 15th, AOL Instant Messenger will shut down after running since 1997. AIM dominated online chat in North America at the turn of the century. But with SMS and social apps like Facebook and WhatsApp having conquered chat, AOL is giving up the fight with no planned replacement.

Oct 06, 2:09PM
In Big Mouth, all the terrible, gross thoughts that you probably had while going through puberty come to life — in the form of actual hormone monsters voiced by Nick Kroll and Maya Rudolph. The Netflix animated series was created by Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett, and TechCrunch’s Darrell Etherington and Anthony Ha review it in the latest episode of the… Read MoreEquity podcast: Uber's board gets bigger, ForeScout's security IPO, and venture investment trends
Oct 06, 1:00PM
Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This week the crew —Roof, Matthew Lynley, and Alex Wilhelm — were joined by Saar Gur, a general partner at CRV. This week we had no choice but to dive into Uber’s most recent headlines and happenings.
