In that context, less starts to… Read More -
We Are Dropping RadiumOne As A NY Disrupt Sponsor
TechCrunch will be dropping RadiumOne as a Disrupt New York hackathon sponsor.

In this decision our team is united, both on the editorial and the business side. We will not condone, support, or deal with… Read More -
A Letter To The Board Members Of RadiumOne
Dear RadiumOne Board Members, In covering the day-to-day launches, funding announcements, and feature additions of tech startups and companies, I rarely think about the founder or CEO of a company’s personal life. Sure, when it’s a serial entrepreneur, I take note. Or if the founder happens to be a friend, I’ll ask about their kids and families, and trade banter over the usual… Read More -
Google Brings Its Hotel And Restaurant Search To Android

A Personal Reflection On Google+
I joined Google the day after my Stanford graduation in June of 2011, and two days later got to take a peek at the product I would be working on for the next three months. There had been rumors in the press for a while that Google was building some sort of secret social network, but these stories were mostly unsubstantiated rumors. Now, for the first time, I got to look upon the future of the… Read More -
SpaceX Just Made A Big Step Towards Cheaper, More Sustainable Space Flight
Elon Musk just announced a significant milestone for Space X and, well, humanity. The first live test of a Falcon 9 rocket boost stage landing vertically was a success. The first stage of the rocket returned to earth and landed vertically in the Atlantic Ocean after boosting the second stage to a resupply mission with the International Space Station. Read More -
A Word With The Creator Of The Autoblow 2
In another crowdfunding first, a former lawyer has decided to go the Adam & Eve route and create what one would euphemistically call an onahole. The product, called the Autoblow 2, is designed to allow the ingress of the male member and, with the help of a judicious drubbing, bring the male to issue. The team is crowdfunding and has been making sex toys in China for many years. They’ve… Read More -
Google Is Preparing To Pay A Huge Fine For Tax Noncompliance In France
France’s equivalent of the IRS (Direction générale des finances) has been investigating Google for tax noncompliance. With only €138 million of revenue reported in France in 2011, something wasn’t right. Le Canard Enchaîné first reported in 2012 that the company owed $1.3 billion (€1 billion). Le Point confirmed this number in 2014. Google will probably end up paying less than… Read More -
Google+ Is Walking Dead
Today, Google’s Vic Gundotra announced that he would be leaving the company after eight years. The first obvious question is where this leaves Google+, Gundotra’s baby and primary project for the past several of those years. What we’re hearing from multiple sources is that Google+ will no longer be considered a product, but a platform — essentially ending its competition with other… Read More -
How Burrowing Owls Lead To Vomiting Anarchists (Or SF’s Housing Crisis Explained)
Today, the tech industry is apparently on track to destroy one of the world’s most valuable cultural treasures, San Francisco, by pushing out the diverse people who have helped create it. At least that’s the story you’ve read in hundreds of articles lately. It doesn’t have to be this way. But everyone who lives in the Bay Area today needs to accept responsibility for making… Read More
