An immodest proposal: it's time for scooter superhighways
Jul 08, 6:19PM
“If a problem cannot be solved,” Donald Rumsfeld once wrote, “enlarge it.” I’m not about to praise him for his accomplishments, but he had a pretty good eye for diagnoses. Which takes us to the problem of urban transit. I complained recently that I didn’t care about scooter startups, because I couldn’t imagine cities ever […]

Jul 07, 8:25PM
Late last month, Castbox introduced Contentbox, an attempt help podcast hosts and producers make some actual money off their product.

MoviePass offers ticket refund after Friday Night outage
Jul 07, 6:59PM
After a rapid ascent, it's been a rough couple of months for MoviePass. And while last night's outage isn't exactly the end of the world for the theater subscription service, Friday night is the least the opportune moment for your service to crap the proverbial bed. That goes double now that competitors like AMC and […]
'Ant-Man and the Wasp' director Peyton Reed on following 'Infinity War'
Jul 07, 6:47PM
If you watch Ant-Man and the Wasp hoping for clues to the aftermath of Avengers: Infinity War, you’ll probably be disappointed: Although the just-released film is coming out a few months after Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp actually takes place earlier, and it’s focused almost entirely on the personal struggles of its heroes. In fact, […]

Shoe startups aren't dragging their feet
Jul 07, 5:10PM
Good thing Carrie Bradshaw, the shoe-loving heroine of Sex and the City, wasn't a footwear venture capitalist. The high-heeled, high-priced and hard-to-walk-in pairs beloved by the TV icon are pretty much the least fundable concept in the shoe startup space lately.
RIP "crypto"
Jul 07, 5:00PM
RIP “crypto”. You had a good run. This week veteran cryptographer Matt Blaze, finally gave in — to what must have been a near-constant, low-level drone of ‘CAn Buy Crypto.com???$$$$!’ spam — and sold the pithy domain name he registered in 1993, in the midst of the PC era crypto wars, to use as an […]
Is this DJI's next Mavic drone?
Jul 07, 3:48PM
Here's what we know for sure: DJI's got a big event coming up. It was originally scheduled for July 18, but was ultimately pushed back so the company "can deliver according to [its] standard of innovation." The timing certainly seems right for a followup to 2016's Mavic Pro, and the "bigger picture" event artwork appears […]

'Spider-Man,' 'Dr. Strange' co-creator Steve Ditko has died
Jul 07, 1:48PM
Toward the end of his life, it became somewhat common practice to post a picture of his door. It was an otherwise unremarkable thing, with a mail slot and a metal plate at the bottom.
