The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus launched last week, and one of the most hyped features has been the camera(s). This is especially true with the 7 Plus, which now has two cameras — one wide angle and one telephoto lens. This means you can now optically zoom in to 2x, which means you can get closer to your subject without suffering from any of the distortion that comes with digital zoom.… Read More... →

Facebook says 53,000 people are talking about Terrence Crutcher’s death by police, but instead it’s showing me Trends about Xbox, a Game Of Thrones actor, and New Jersey’s governor, even though they all have less chatter. Facebook denies it’s a media company, and has tried to distance itself from editorial decision-making by firing all its human Trend curators. But… Read More... →

Ольга Будник, управляющий партнер агентства BOOM Communications, написала для vc.ru колонку с рассказом о продвижении «Промобота», ставшего известным после появления новостей о том, что робот якобы сбежал за пределы тестового полигона. Отождествление устройства с разумным существом помогло ему попасть в крупные мировые СМИ и заручиться поддержкой покупателей, партнёров и государства.... →

When Google launched its AMP project for making mobile websites load faster, it was mostly about news sites and you’d only see AMP links in the Top Stories section of the company’s search results pages. About two months ago, Google also introduced a new demo site that showed what AMP support in mobile search would look for non-news sites like recipe and lyrics sites. Today, the… Read More... →

A big annoying experience of living in a city is checking a site like Nextbus for your bus or rail’s arrival time, and then getting there only to find that you’ve missed it by a split second or the doors close as soon as you get there. Now, there’s actually an app that will yell at you to walk faster if you’re about to miss that bus. With a big update today, Transit… Read More... →

While there’s plenty of talent in the San Francisco Bay Area — where Pinterest’s main office is over at 5th and Brannan in San Francisco — it can be very costly to find and recruit that talent. And there’s a lot outside of San Francisco as well. One city, in particular, that Pinterest has turned its eyes to is Seattle. Last month, it opened an engineering office… Read More... →

After a summer of beta versions, Apple has just released the final version of macOS Sierra. macOS Sierra is the major update of OS X El Capitan — yes, OS X is dead, long live macOS. Other than the name change, this year’s update brings many neat improvements over El Capitan, making it a polished update from day one. It’s available in the Mac App Store as a free download. If… Read More... →

The search box in Google Drive is getting an upgrade that will make it function more like Google Search, Google announced this morning. The improvements include a new autocorrect feature which will help by suggesting corrections to misspelled search terms, as well as support for natural language processing. That means you can now search for files on Drive using language that’s more like… Read More... →

The other week, I spoke with the new CEO of 3D Systems. He told me that he believes the consumer 3D printing business “is not real.”  That’s not exactly the vote of confidence one is looking for when talking to the head of the company that more or less created the space three decades back. And indeed, it’s been tough going, of late. The once hyped technology has taken… Read More... →

It looks like Google, which yesterday acquired API.ai, a company that helps developers build conversational interfaces, isn’t the only major tech company hoovering up chatbot talent. TechCrunch understands that Angel.ai (formerly known as GoButler) has been, at least partially, acqui-hired by Amazon. Read More... →

The full policy is now available, and viewable in full either via the embed below, or at the Transportation.gov official website. Both the DOT… Read More... →

Федеральная антимонопольная служба (ФАС) России, так и не получив от Google уведомления о выполнении предписания об устранении нарушения антимонопольного законодательства, начинает административное расследование в отношении американской компании.

You don’t have to spend a long time in tech journalism before you get pitched a whole stack of companies that make you scratch your head and ask yourself “why?” LuDela is one example. The company makes a smartphone-controllable candle. Why? There are plenty of real problems to solve; creating fire at the touch of an app isn’t among them. Read More... →

Stitch Fix can’t figure out how to take my money, but they’re expanding to include men’s clothing now. Good luck with that! Oh, am I going to write a blog post on TechCrunch about my personal issues with a startup? Yeah, maybe? (You may now click into the comments below and commence your trolling.) Here’s the thing: I haven’t been as obsessed with a new startup as… Read More... →
