Only two days left to buy early-bird tickets to Disrupt Berlin
Nov 02, 8:00AM
What could Disrupt Berlin — Europe’s premier event for entrepreneurs, investors, hackers and tech fans — possibly have in common with Eddie Murphy’s 1982 police action/comedy, 48 Hrs? Well, that’s exactly how much time you have left to score early-bird tickets and save big money. Miss the November 3 deadline and you’ll miss out on serious savings. Now… Read MoreOpen source database startup MariaDB confirms $27M investment led by Alibaba
Nov 02, 7:18AM
Open source database startup MariaDB has announced a new $27 million round of funding led by Alibaba, confirming the news that TechCrunch reported in September. As we wrote then, Alibaba contributed the majority of the round, supplying €20 million of the total €22.9 million raised. A range of existing investors added that extra bit and they were confirmed to include Intel Capital… Read MoreHTC intros a $349 version of the U11
Nov 02, 7:01AM
I honestly thought HTC had sent the wrong phone in the mail when the U11 Life arrived. The new phone looks almost identical to its namesake at first glance — and that’s by design. Of course, on closer inspection, the differences are pretty clear, particularly when you’ve got the standard U11 on-hand. The Life is essentially the budget version of HTC’s latest flagship… Read MoreHTC's bigger, better and clearer U11 Plus won't be coming to the U.S.
Nov 02, 7:01AM
HTC unveiled two new phones during an overnight event in Taiwan. Both are variations on the company’s U11 flagship — one’s is a budget version, the other’s a six-inch, premium phablet version, but only one is actually destined for the States. The $349 U11 Life is hitting T-Mobile stores in the U.S. this week. Those who want to get their hands on the premium U11 Plus, on… Read MoreDidi Chuxing will build its own electric vehicle charging network
Nov 02, 6:54AM
Didi Chuxing, China’s largest ride-sharing company, will form a joint venture to build its own charging network for electric cars.

Nov 02, 5:00AM
TransferWise, the international money transfer company and one of Europe’s better-known unicorns, has announced $280 million in new investment today. The Series E round is led by asset management firm Old Mutual Global Investors, and Silicon Valley VC firm IVP, and I understand also includes some secondary share dealings, meaning that not all of the cash will register on its balance sheet.

New 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' trailer prepares you for some twists
Nov 02, 2:45AM
There’s a new 45 second spot for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which premiered tonight during some kind of sport ball game, but which is lucky also available on the internet so you can just watch it above. This doesn’t provide too much more compared to what we’ve seen in the longer spots, but it does give you a few all new clips, and it ends with a line from Luke that sounds like… Read MoreCoin offerings using celebrity glitter may not be golden, SEC warns
Nov 02, 12:08AM
A slew of media stars have hitched their stars to various virtual currencies, lending their social media outreach and luster to projects that have seemed less than golden. Now the SEC is warning celebrities that their endorsements “may be unlawful if they do not disclose the nature, source, and amount of any compensation paid, directly or indirectly, by the company in exchange for the… Read MoreHere's how Russia targeted its fake Facebook ads and how those ads performed
Nov 01, 11:49PM
It’s impossible to know just how much stuff being circulated on social networks is Russian state content in sheep’s clothing, although tech companies are scrambling to figure that out. Now, thanks to Congress, we just got a rare peek behind the curtain of how Facebook’s ad operations were manipulated by a foreign power to foment outrage and division in American society. Read MoreElon Musk says Tesla's China factory could begin production in roughly three years
Nov 01, 10:52PM
Tesla last week officially confirmed its plans to set up a manufacturing facility in China, and now we know a bit more about what it’s planning to do in terms of production. At the time, Tesla wouldn’t say much more beyond than it’s “committed to the Chinese market” and interested in exploring manufacturing facilities around the world. Tesla CEO Elon Musk went into… Read MoreTesla could upgrade customer computers to meet self-driving requirements
Nov 01, 10:37PM
Elon Musk had some thoughts to share regarding full autonomy and how the automaker is preparing to deliver this to customers down the road. The company announced that its new vehicles had all the hardware on board they needed to achieve full autonomy last year, and offers customers the options to buy an upgrade that would deliver autonomy via software update once it was available. Read MoreBlue Apron competitor HelloFresh prices IPO, raising up to $369 million
Nov 01, 10:31PM
HelloFresh, the Berlin-based cooking kit delivery company, priced its IPO at the middle of its expected range at €10.25, or roughly $11.91. This means that the company could raise up to €318 million in the offering, or $369 million. The timing of the IPO may come as a surprise to some, given that competitor Blue Apron recently had a lackluster public debut. Read MoreWatch the Pitch@Palace pitches live right here

Nov 01, 10:02PM
Against a backdrop of a year-long legal battle with Apple, Qualcomm has beat analysts’ revenue and earnings estimates in its fourth fiscal quarter. Qualcomm booked $5.96 billion in sales, or 92 cents per share, versus expectations of $5.8 billion and 81 cents per-share as the overall economics of the chip business continue to improve. The numbers were good enough to bump shares of the… Read MoreInstagram Stories and WhatsApp Status hit 300M users, nearly 2X Snapchat
Nov 01, 10:00PM
Instagram and WhatsApp’s Snapchat clones aren’t slowing down. Today Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Instagram Stories and WhatsApp Status both now have 300 million daily active users. That’s up from 250 million for Instagram in June, and WhatsApp in July. That makes the copies almost twice the size of the original, as Snapchat’s entire app only has 173 million… Read MoreHow cities can harness the good — and avoid the bad — of the new mobility movement
Nov 01, 10:00PM
In late September, London made headlines when it stripped popular ride-hailing app Uber of its license to operate in the city. The wall-to-wall coverage that followed the decision was a sign, if any more were needed, that we are on the cusp of an urban mobility revolution.

Nov 01, 9:59PM
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman took to the site for his “quarterly inquisition,” an AMA where he fielded questions from users and moderators. The discussion today focused on empowering mods to do what they need to do, which should have a knock-on effect in creating functional communities. But he also addressed some politically sensitive issues, from election interference to… Read MoreZuck says ad transparency regulation would be 'very good if it's done well'
Nov 01, 9:11PM
Despite Facebook’s effort to rapidly self-regulate in the wake of Russian interference in the U.S. election using Facebook ads, CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he would support government regulation if implemented properly. Meanwhile, Facebook elevated its expense estimates for 2018 to fund security hiring. Read MoreThis is the Razer phone
Nov 01, 9:00PM
It’s no big secret that Razer (the company best known for building gaming peripherals and laptops) has been building a phone. The company bought fledgling smartphone maker Nextbit earlier this year, and there’s been talk of a Razer phone ever since. Sure enough, here it is: the Android-powered Razer phone.
