The Jetsons presented a highly entertaining vision of what homes of the future would look like. The animated television show anticipated a world where humans would be able to do everything with just the push of a button. In many ways, the show turned out to be prophetic; today we have printable food, video chats, smartwatches and robots that help with housework — and flying cars may… Read More... →

Earlier this week Instagram updated its news feed algorithm. Posts will no longer appear in chronological order and instead be sorted “based on the likelihood you’ll be interested in the content, your relationship with the person posting, and the timeliness of the post.” What this means is that Instagram will choose what to surface and when – essentially mirroring… Read More... →

(Disclosure: VentureBeat occasionally publishes opinion pieces from Foundry Group’s Brad […]... →

Posted by noahlemas[Estimated read time: 13 minutes] I had planned on writing about losslessness, about accurate reproduction. I’ve always found it strange that at just about the same time that true losslessness became widely available cheaply, we suddenly seemed to care less about fidelity than ever before. So I had wanted to discuss the Internet’s imminent future, almost undoubtedly VR-based and highly resolution-dependent, and how that vision is slightly at odds with its history of relegating virtually e... →

GUEST: Demo Day is not a launch strategy. You work your butt off to build a product and presentation that doesn’t break on stage, but the reality is that the audience of venture capitalists and tech journalists you present to are not likely your end users. Generally, the press audience for Demo Day isn’t your end […]... →

GUEST: It’s great to grow revenue fast (e.g., 50% or more), but not if that growth comes at too steep of a cost. The most valued tech software and services companies are those growing the fastest AND acquiring new customers with the most efficient go-to-market model. To gauge the efficiency of a company’s go-to-market model, CMOs […]... →

Apps have become a driver of the economy. According to the Statista website, leading app stores offer around four million apps. App users are able to engage in commerce, access content and connect with for-profit and not-for-profit entities of every kind and description. If space was the final frontier for Captain Kirk and the Enterprise, digital-app experiences are the heavily explored… Read More... →

As part of the flurry of retrospectives tied to Twitter’s tenth anniversary, the company is also looking back at the history of advertising on Twitter. Granted, that probably doesn’t given you the same nostalgic twinkle as Jack setting up his “Twittr”, but like it or not, it’s still an important part of the company’s story. So in a new blog post, Joel… Read More... →

GUEST: Last month, Cleveland startup Phenom got some great news. It was accepted into prestigious Silicon Valley accelerator 500 startups. The catch? The founders had to leave Northeast Ohio and move to San Francisco in order to make this happen. A low grumble rose up as local pundits lamented the fact that a startup had to […]... →

GUEST: “Start as you mean to go on.” It’s an adage long applied to life and work’s most critical habits. Whether sleep-training an infant, getting into shape, or keeping up with the breakneck pace of a tech startup, the tactic holds. Commit to doing it right from the start, because it’s hard, if not impossible, to […]... →

I started my last company in mid-2009, just as the market was beginning to recover from the fallout of the financial crisis. In the past several years, surrounded by fast-growth startups with sky-high valuations, many of us forgot what the downturn felt like. Today, things are changing. Again, we’re facing economic uncertainty on a global scale. Read More... →

Kate Edwards likes to do cosplay (costume play) as characters such as Thor, a valkyrie, Indiana Jones, and Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones. That may give her the fortitude to handle her next big task as executive director of the International Game Developers Association. Last week, during the Game Developers Conference, Edwards announced the […]... →

Price as Reviewed: $1,049 with 140mm kit lens, at Nikon USA After all, this is a DSLR originally released back in 2015, but image quality only gets marginally better year to year — it’s more about… Read More... →
