Google retires the Pixel C tablet as it shifts focus to the Pixelbook
Dec 28, 10:36PM
As noted earlier today by Android Police, Google has stopped selling the Pixel C through its online store. It’s a quiet and not unexpected end for the company’s well-received tablet, designed to make room for Google’s latest and greatest. Read MoreTrump's website is coded with a broken server error message that blames Obama
Dec 28, 10:22PM
If you’re a fan of Easter eggs hidden in source code, this is a pretty good one. Apparently, as Washington Post data reporter Christopher Ingraham observed on Twitter, some Trump administration and GOP websites have a portion of code with a joke that throws shade at Obama’s golf habits, the irony nowhere to be found. Read MoreIt's surprisingly easy to program living tissue to form new 3D shapes
Dec 28, 10:15PM
The boundary between biology and technology blurs further and further as researchers discover more and more parallels between the two. Today they have found that it’s relatively simple to essentially hack living tissue by programming a pattern into cells, making them grow and fold on their own into a desired shape. Read MoreHiring has gone Hollywood
Dec 28, 10:00PM
The top of the hiring funnel has gotten very crowded. We’ve always had recruiters or headhunters for top executives. They’re also commonly used in many industries for lower-skill positions, i.e. staffing. What’s changed is that staffing or fee-for-placement intermediaries are emerging for a range of professional positions. Read MoreWhat to expect at CES 2018
Dec 28, 9:59PM
I know, right? Christmas just ended and the New Year hasn’t even dawned — but we’re already ramping up for CES mode, and we’re taking you down with us. The biggest tech show of the year is set to kick off January 9, so here’s what we know (or think we know) about the upcoming show’s biggest news, pulled from exhibitor lists, the rumor mill and an examination… Read MoreNetflix's 'Bright' reached 11M viewers in its first three days, according to Nielsen
Dec 28, 9:59PM
Netflix spent $90 million on the production of Bright, an unlikely hybrid of buddy cop movie and high fantasy. Will that investment pay off? Well, Nielsen has released some initial viewership numbers, reporting that the film reached 11 million U.S. viewers in its first three days. Read MoreUber's Frankenboard arrives
Dec 28, 9:50PM
Today was a momentous day in Uber history. After much debate, rumors and strife over the past few weeks, it looks like the company and its shareholders have come to an agreement over a tender offer that will see SoftBank own nearly 15 percent of the company, while also injecting around $1 billion in fresh capital. That deal is expected to close in the new year. Read MoreApple apologizes for not telling customers iPhones with older batteries would slow over time
Dec 28, 9:40PM
Apple has today posted a letter on its website and a technical article in its Knowledge Base apologizing for not being more transparent about how it handles performance on iPhones with older batteries. Last week, Apple issued a statement that made it clear that changes it made a year ago were indeed slowing down the maximum performance of iPhones with older batteries. It will now also offer… Read MoreSnapchat adds a 2017 year in review feature for saved memories
Dec 28, 9:23PM
Snapchat users who snap and save can take a stroll down memory lane with the app’s new feature, “A Look Back at 2017.” If you’re the type that would rather ruminate than remain committed to Snapchat’s previously purely ephemeral philosophy, you can find your 2017 year in review in the memories tab. Read MoreAWS showed no signs of slowing down in 2017
Dec 28, 9:00PM
AWS had a successful year by any measure. The company continued to behave like a startup with the kind of energy and momentum to invest in new areas not usually seen in an incumbent with a significant marketshare lead. How good a year was it? According to numbers from Synergy Research, the company remains the category leader by far with around 35 percent marketshare. Microsoft sits well behind… Read MoreRussian space agency denies programming error bungled rocket launch
Dec 28, 8:33PM
A failed rocket launch from Russia’s new spaceport at Vostochny last month was not in fact caused by an elementary programming error, as recent reports have indicated — or at least that’s what Roscosmos, the country’s space agency, has claimed, contradicting earlier statements made by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. Read MorePSA: You can't opt out of the customer surveys Netflix is running in its TV app, but you can skip
Dec 28, 7:12PM
While preparing to do a little binge-watching over the holidays, something odd popped up on my TV’s screen upon launching the Netflix app on my Roku: a consumer survey. Well, that’s new, I thought to myself, while quickly navigating to the “Skip” button. Fortunately, skipping the survey was easy and getting back to the app was fast. Still, it was surprising to see… Read MoreSoftBank's big investment in Uber comes to a close
Dec 28, 6:51PM
SoftBank’s long-anticipated investment in Uber is almost done. Following the close of the tender offer on Thursday, a SoftBank-led group was able to secure interest for its desired 14% stake in the company. The news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The shares purchased from existing shareholders will value the company at approximately $48 billion, a significant discount… Read MoreBritain's spy agency can't stop losing cyber talent to major tech companies
Dec 28, 6:29PM
The NSA isn’t the only secretive national intelligence agency having trouble keeping its tech-savvy recruits. In a new document from the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament, Britain’s spy agency describes its difficulty in fending off tech companies keen to poach its workers. Read MoreLamborghini's EV initiatives seem to lack a spark
Dec 28, 5:30PM
It doesn’t look like Lamborghini will be joining the race for e-performance vehicles anytime soon. Even as the Italian company announced plans to work with MIT in a collaboration to create “electric super sports cars of the future” with the unveiling of its Terzo Millennio concept car, without an exact EV Lambo production date, it’s unclear when the iconic brand… Read MoreStill living under the tyranny of the password in 2017
Dec 28, 4:32PM
When I lost access to my Google account recently, it left a gaping hole in my digital life and showed me just how tenuous the link to our online world can be. One thing I learned from the story I wrote last week about my experience was that I was far from alone. I got more than a dozen emails and tweets from folks who had been similarly locked out of Google, Facebook or Amazon Prime, and… Read MoreAmazon updates Fire TV's YouTube app to redirect users to a web browser instead
Dec 28, 4:27PM
The feud between Amazon and Google continues today with the early removal of YouTube from the Fire TV – a move Google had said wouldn’t take place until January 1, 2018. But as a number of Fire TV owners have now noticed, launching the YouTube app today informs you that you can choose to watch “YouTube and millions of other websites” by using a web browser. You then… Read MoreLG debuts the ThinQ, a Google Assistant-powered smart speaker
Dec 28, 3:21PM
LG is adding a new smart speaker powered by Google Assistant to its 2018 lineup, the company announced this morning. The LG ThinQ, as it’s being called, looks to be a more high-end competitor to something like Google’s recently launched Google Home Max. LG’s new speaker is promising offering a “premium” audio experience thanks to Meridian Audio technology and… Read MoreCrypto prices suffer as Korean government announces new regs, potential ban
Dec 28, 3:10PM
The South Korean government announced new legislation today that would put increasingly tough regulations on the country’s burgeoning cryptocurrency markets. Under the legislation, Korea, which is the third largest market for cryptocurrencies in the world after the U.S. and Japan, would ban anonymous accounts and continually monitor crypto exchanges. Perhaps more ominously, the Wall… Read MoreIf at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
