These HBO Go Ads Are Hilarious
My colleagues wrote about Apple ads yesterday. So when I stumbled across these HBO Go ads, I thought that you, dear TechCrunch readers, also deserve to see these seven videos. In them, you see teenagers sitting on a couch and watching HBO shows, such as Game of Thrones, True Detective or Girls. But their parents are lingering in the background. Everybody remembers those awkward moments watching… Read More -

Fake Startup Landing Page From HBO’s ‘Silicon Valley’ Is Better Than Many Real Startup Landing Pages
The hottest startup in the Bay Area is now online: Pied Piper’s landing page is live.

How Burrowing Owls Lead To Vomiting Anarchists (Or SF’s Housing Crisis Explained)
