AngelPad's Sixth Batch Of Startups Includes Companies Working On Drones, Storage, And More
AngelPad, the San Francisco-based accelerator founded by former Googlers, held its sixth demo day yesterday. I wasn't there (I know, it's super-embarrassing), but I did get to meet with founding partners Thomas Korte and Carine Magescas today to talk about the newest batch of companies.
Magescas said that in the three years since AngelPad was founded, "the premise of what we had in the beginning has been validated." That premise breaks down to three main ideas, she said. First, she and Korte...
A Vibrator Called Limon
No longer just an
oddly flavored potato chip, the Limon is also a new sexy-time vibrator from a startup called
Minna. The company is looking for backers for its "couples' vibrator", which just so happens to look like a pink lime-lemon hybrid.
However, the Limon is no lemon or lime. It's an ultra-powerful bullet vibrator that is controlled by how hard you squeeze it. That is, the harder you squeeze the lime part of the Limon, the harder the lemon-style tip will vibrate.
The Cryonic Bitcoin Mining Machine Is $15,000 Of Pure BTC Power
It's almost impossible for the average computer to mine Bitcoins in any efficient way, hence the rise of Bitcoin mining machines so tuned to their specific purpose that they barely resemble PCs. To wit: the
Cryonic Bitcoin FrostBit machine is a PC in name only and contains a liquid nitrogen generator, special ASIC chips, and a price tag that would make the Winklevii twins think twice.
Report: Google Could Soon Face New FTC Antitrust Probe Into Its Display Ads Business
Bloomberg today reports that Google could face a new U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) antitrust probe into its display advertising business. As Bloomberg's Brian Womack and Sara Forden note, the FCC is looking into whether Google used its strong position in this market to "illegally curb competition." The investigators, the report also notes, want to see if Google used its display ads business to "push companies to use more of its other services."
Laptop Week Review: The Toshiba Kirabook
Toshiba isn’t exactly known for churning out attractive, high-end notebooks, which is why the company’s new Kirabook is such an oddity. It's a handsome little thing if you're into very (and I mean very) understated designs, though I imagine at least a few people will think the Kirabook looks downright dull.
The Kirabook is wedge-shaped like many of its other ultrabook brethren but it's thankfully very light on branding (save for a small, chrome-esque Toshiba logo slapped on a corner of the K...
Laptop Week Review: Lenovo Yoga 13
Convertibles were all the rage back in the 1950s (thanks to tailfins and the Corvette) and in the early 2000s (thanks to Microsoft and Sony). In the 2000s, however, we saw convertibles in the form of laptops that could twist and turn themselves into tablets. The result, usually, was a not-very-good-laptop folded into a not-very-good tablet.
Salesforce.com Meets First Quarter Earnings Expectations, Revenues Up 29%

On-Demand Delivery Startup Postmates Is Preparing For Launch In New York City
Postmates is looking to expand its business and make mobile, on-demand deliveries a widespread thing throughout cities around the country -- that we already know. The company has been operating in San Francisco for a while, and launched in Seattle about three months ago. But where will it land next?
All signs point to New York City.
Google Starts Using Computer Vision To Let You Search Your Google+ Photos
Google almost completely revamped the Google+ photo experience last week, but somehow the company didn't get around to announcing one of the coolest photo-related features in its repertoire: Google now uses computer vision and machine learning to let you search your photos for things like sunsets, food and flowers. I also tried terms like "cars," "beach" and "bikes" and Google consistently returned the right results. This search is built into Google+, but you can also use the regular Google s...
Doctors 3D-Print An Emergency Airway Tube To Save A Child's Life
Score one for technology: Doctors 3D-printed an emergency airway tube that saved a 20-month old baby boy's life. After imaging the boy's faulty windpipe, doctors at the C.S. Mot Children's Hospital printed 100 tiny tubes and laser-stitched them together over the trachea (video below).
A photo of the new little farm girl.
Here she is just hours old, a new little filly on the farm. Her Mom is Danali and she is one of Ms Lilly's daughters so this is Ms Lilly's granddaughter. Ms Lilly lives on. No name just yet.
FBI Allows Knife Into Questioning Room
I'm having a hard time accepting that the FBI would allow a knife to be taken into the interrogation room. Maybe the questioning was done at the accused's home. Aren't they more cautious than this?
Another Sign -- and a lotta pipe
You recall the picture I showed you of the Road Closed sign and the commencement of road work in the downtown? Well, the work continues apace. Today when I was downtown I noticed they brought in a whole mess of blue pipe to install in the utility upgrade. Seems such a shame to bu …

Apple Ad: iPhone is Most-Used Phone for Listening to Music
Samsung may sell more smartphones, but a new Apple ad claims that more people listen to music on their iPhones than any other phone
The 60-second ad, which broke Thursday night, is a bit of a stylistic departure for the brand. The music is downbeat — even somber — the visuals are grainy, even a bit gritty. Images show people grooving to music on their iPhones while practicing their dance moves, studying and even coming out of the shower
It's not clear where Apple got its stat. The company re...
Bikes Made From Trash Power Film Festival
A group of students in France crafted wooden, energy-producing stationary bicycles from trash. These novel bikes were recently used to power a film festival screening in St. Étienne.
The whole thing started last year when a group of green-minded engineering students at the School of Mines in Saint-Étienne started an “eco-projections” initiative to show documentary films powered by electricity-generating bikes. They formed a collective called Open Sources and developed several plastic bike pro...
Lost Apollo 11 Moon Dust Found in Storage
Vials of moon dust brought back to Earth by the first men on the moon have been found inside a lab warehouse in California after sitting in storage unnoticed for more than 40 years
The samples — collected by Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin — were rediscovered last month by an archivist who was going over artifacts tucked away at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
"We don't know how or when they ended up in storage," Karen Nelson, who made the surprising discovery, ...
Prepare for the Cicada Invasion With This Creepy-Crawly Time-Lapse
The cicada swarms are coming, and there is nothing you can do to stop it
You will step on a cicada shell, one will fall in your hair and that buzzing drone will haunt your entire summer. But instead of fearing the creepy crawlers, appreciate this miraculous act of mother nature with a time-lapse by filmmaker Samuel Orr
Orr is determined to change the bad rep these bugs have gotten with this video he's been producing since 2007. He says he became interested in the insects as a child when he fo...
The 'Dance of the Planets' Is a Real Thing That's Happening Now
It's prom season — for the planets
Every couple of years, give or take, planets get together in the night sky in such a way that they seem to be aligned with each other. They seem to be, really — from Earth's perspective — shyly approaching each other, asking each other to dance. This planetary mixing-and-mingling is scientifically known as "planetary conjunction" ... but it's colloquially known, probably because of the corsages and the limos and the awkward dancing, the "Dance of the Planets...
This Telepresence Robot Is Powered By a Smartphone
What if you could have your smartphone greet customers while they’re shopping in your store or have a tablet work as a babysitter?
That’s the idea behind R.bots Synergy SWAN, a telepresence robot with that works with any Android or iOS device. To make the robot work, you attach your smartphone or tablet. The device charges while its docked, and the robot interacts with the world around it.
The robot is still a prototype, but R.bots was able to show me a few use cases for the device on the sh...
Password Protection Act Bars Employers From Demanding Login Info
What kind of experience do you have in the field? Who are your references? What's your Facebook password?
If the Password Protection Act becomes law, it would make it a crime for employers to ask that third question.
The PPA was introduced in the House of Representatives Wednesday by Reps. Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.). It would make it illegal for employers demand current or prospective employees hand over access to their social media accounts

Let's Drive a Snowmobile Off a Cliff
What's it like to drive a snowmobile off a cliff? Thanks to B.A.S.E. (Buildings, Antennas, Spans and Earth) jumper Erik Roner and his trusty trio of GoPro cameras, we get to experience just that without having to risk our necks.
Roner performed this exhilarating jump in honor of his late friend, Shane McConkey, who suffered a fatal accident while ski-B.A.S.E. jumping in 2009. That's Shane's snowmobile you see getting this grand sendoff, with a GoPro camera mounted on board that somehow survi...
3 Manly Pinterest Alternatives for Your Beard and Bacon Needs
Are the images in your Pinterest feed not quite manly enough for you? If you think the virtual pinboard site is a little too feminine, you’re not alone
In a recent Pew study of social media users, 25% of women said they used Pinterest, compared to a meager 5% of men.
Since Pinterest’s creation, a number of similar websites have popped up that offer pins in what they consider manlier topics. While the men who use these sites abandoned Pinterest because of what they saw as a lack of subjects th...
10 Things That Wish They Were Turtles

Solar Impulse pilot André Borschberg talked with us via in-cockpit satellite phone about keeping focus during the approximately 18-hour stretches of flight. We also chatted about the alternative power revolution that he and fellow pilot Ber...
Google Brings Intelligent Search to Google+ Photos
Google is now making it easier for users to find their own photos using Google Search.
On its Inside Search blog, the company explained that users can now search for and through their photos hosted in Google+ Photos.
Searching for the query "my photos" offers up this result, personalized with your own Google+ photographs.
But it gets better. The system actually uses machine learning so that you can target your queries to be more specific. Searching for "my photos of food" or "my photos from ...
Ashton Kutcher: 'I Don't Think Anyone Has Mastered Mobile'
Actor and prominent startup investor Aston Kutcher took the stage at CTIA Thursday to talk about mobile, and specifically mobile apps.
During a fireside chat at the wireless trade show Kutcher talked about how he discovers the apps that he uses and invests in, as well as how he currently sees the wireless industry.
“Most of the apps that I discover come from founders of companies I've invested in, or from being at conventions, or personal social networks,” he says.
Some of Kutcher’s favorite ...
Watch Solar Plane Take Off on Second Leg of Historic Journey
The Solar Impulse made the 958-mile trip from Phoenix to Dallas in about 18 hours.
It is the second leg of the plane's historic trip across the United States, from California to New York. If all five legs are successful, the trip will be the first cross-continental, solar-powered flight, with travel occurring during both daytime and nighttime.
Solar Impulse CEO André Borschberg piloted this leg of the journey. Weather permitting, the plane's next stop will be St. Louis at the end of the month...
Electric Chevy Spark to be Offered for Lease at $199/Month
Chevy just attached a price tag and delivery date to the 2014 Spark electric vehicle on Thursday, and it's looking good. General Motors announced lease pricing of the Chevy Spark EV at $199 per month for 36 months. Add to that the $999 upfront fee, and you can drive away with a Spark when the vehicle first rolls out in June (2013) — if you live in California or Oregon.
Buying the Spark turns out to be a good deal, too. Th car's retail price starts at $27,495, Chevy says — just keep in mind t...
Morgan Freeman Falls Asleep During Live TV Interview
Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine star in a new film called Now You See Me. So they are, as one does, making the press junket interview rounds to hype the release
The dynamic duo recently appeared on Tacoma's Fox affiliate Q13 for an interview session, but Freeman had seemingly reached the end of his rope.

Watch Jennifer Aniston Strip in Hilarious 'We're the Millers' Trailer
Sometimes, people are strippers. And sometimes, strippers have a hard time convincing people that stripping is their chosen profession, apparently — as we learn from Jennifer Aniston's skin-baring character in the funny new We're the Millers trailer
Aniston plays Rose, whose neighbor David (Jason Sudeikis) needs help completing a mandatory drug deal. While on the mission with two kids the couple pretends are theirs — Kenny (Will Poulter) and Casey (Emma Roberts) David — Rose is asked to prove...
Google Plans First Expansion of Same-Day Delivery Service
Two months ago, Google entered the same-day delivery business with a pilot program for a service called Google Shopping Express, which many billed as an attempt to compete with the likes of eBay Now and Amazon Prime. Now, Google plans to expand availability of its service for the first time since launch.
A source familiar with Google's plans told Mashable that Google Shopping Express is about to roll out to the entire Bay Area, filling in many of the suburban areas outside San Francisco that ...
Stadium Vendor Fired for Bringing Snow Cones in the Bathroom
Well, this is disgusting, and it may make you think twice before ordering a snack from one of those stadium vendors next time you're out at the ol' ballgame
A roving snow cone salesman at Major League Baseball's Minute Made Park in Houston was fired after a fan used his cellphone to film the vendor setting down a tray of the icy snacks on the floor of a bathroom stall while he sat down to use the toilet during an Astros game
The grossed-out fan then shared the video with Houston's local NBC a...
Anthony Weiner Is Playing It Safe on Twitter
Anthony Weiner's Twitter account feels human again — but a very safe human.
Weiner first returned to Twitter last November, but his tweets lacked the, ahem, personality of his former social presence. Following his Tuesday announcement that he's running for mayor of New York City, his tweets have been slightly less robotic, slightly more personal and definitely hashtag-heavy:

30 Overused Buzzwords in Digital Marketing
We've all sat through meetings that are teeming with buzzwords. Optimization! Synergy! Collaboration! Engagement! While some buzzwords actually have substance (i.e. big data), many people use (and overuse) buzzwords just to try to sound smart, when in fact, they have no idea what's going on.

Is This An Early Prototype Of A Real-Life Iron Man Suit?

Geek Pride Day Is May 25: Here's How To Celebrate
Ready to embrace another arbitrary holiday - or just looking for an excuse to slack off and eat cake? Who isn’t?
This Saturday, May 25, is internationally known as Geek Pride Day. “But, Pi Day and Star Wars Day already happened,” you might be thinking. Which leads me to retort, “Do you want this holiday or not?” In actuality, Geek Pride Day is the only one of the bunch that works overtime as a general celebration of all types of geekery.

News Flash! Tablets Are Not Smartphones
You probably already knew this, but a new report from Forrester wants to emphasize this seemingly obvious point: Tablets are not simply larger touchscreen smartphones. There are significant difference in where people use them, how they use them and for how long - all of which have big implications for app developers, marketers, tablet makers and a lot of other folks.
As the table market continues its white-hot growth - nearly 50 million tablets were sold last quarter alone - these differences...
Shazam's New iPad App Is Designed For Watching TV With A Tablet, Too
Shazam, an app best known for identifying songs playing around you, is making a big move into identifying all kinds of media playing around you.
That promises to move Shazam from our pockets, where its smartphone apps mostly identify songs, to our living rooms—and hence to the tablets we typically keep near our TVs. Those tablets are becoming known as "second screens"—and Shazam wants to have a big presence on them.
The most intriguing aspect of Shazam's latest version is its added capability...
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Saves Companies Money - But Could Cost Users Big
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) polices are increasingly popular as a way for companies to let workers use the hardware they like best and are most productive with. But according to a new study from Cisco, that not be the best way to think about BYOD.
Implement a strong BYOD policy, Cisco says, and your organization could save $1,300 per year per mobile user. Users meanwhile, report that they are happier and more productive - even though they may end up paying more out of their own pockets!

Android Dramatically Extends Lead With Open Source Developers
Despite Google Android's long market-share rise against Apple iOS, developers continued to stick with iOS as their first deployment target. While Android offered superior volume, that volume was fragmented between different versions of the OS and disparate hardware. Meanwhile, Apple offered better development tools plus clearer, more profitable revenue options. Even open-source developers tended to congregate on highly proprietary iOS.
Something changed in 2012, however, and Android-related o...
Square Storms Japan

Hadoop: What It Is And How It Works
You can't have a conversation about Big Data for very long without running into the elephant in the room: Hadoop. This open source software platform managed by the Apache Software Foundation has proven to be very helpful in storing and managing vast amounts of data cheaply and efficiently.
But what exactly is Hadoop, and what makes it so special? Basically, it's a way of storing enormous data sets across distributed clusters of servers and then running "distributed" analysis applications in e...
Don't Look Now, But We Might Be In A Developer Drought
Hey, developers! Do you feel like you're in demand? Apparently you should.
HubSpot, a Cambridge-based marketing software-as-a-service venture, has started a new initiative to handsomely compensate anyone who can refer a developer friend. “If you do, and we end up hiring them, we’ll thank you with a big, fat check for $30,000,” its Refer A Dev program promises.
HubSpot’s solution may seem like an extreme one, but not if you’ve been looking at the numbers. In 2010, there were 913,000 U.S. jobs...
Let's Talk About Why Yahoo Really Bought Tumblr: Native Advertising
If we needed an event to wake people up to the power of native advertising, it's surely Yahoo's $1.1-billion purchase of Tumblr.
We'll be talking about this a lot at AdNatively, a one-day conference I'm emceeing in New York on Thursday, May 23.
So what is native advertising? A quick, simple definition: It's an ad whose form and delivery is identical to the content environment in which it is served.
The opposite, in other words, of interruptive advertising: billboards, takeovers, and big banne...
If Google+ Is Good, Why Does Google Force It On Us?
Google really, really wants us to like Google+. Google is embedding Google+ into each of its products, making it increasingly difficult to use its services without embracing the Google+ borg, whether you want to or not.
Judging by Google+'s still stagnant market share, you generally do not want to use the social service, or whatever it is.
When prodded by complaints that Google is forcing Google+ into its disparate products, despite not necesssarily fitting very well, Vic Gundotra, Google's s...
The Sky Is Falling For Smartphone Maker HTC
Smartphone manufacturer HTC is in disarray. According to a report from The Verge, the company is hemorrhaging executives from its Seattle-based office amid poor sales, internal turmoil and controversy. Within the last several months, HTC has lost its chief produdct officer Kouji Kodera, VP of global communications Jason Gordon and product strategy manager Eric Lin among several others.
In a classic "the sky is falling" scenario, everybody is blaming everybody else. Many in HTC blame Facebook...
Why Your App Design Doesn't Have To Be All Thumbs
The debate about app design largely centers around screen size.
What if designers worried about digit size instead?
Luke Wroblewski, a respected designer who sold a company to Twitter and more recently founded Polar, an app maker, thinks it's time to reconsider mobile design principles. Instead of worrying about questions like whether to upsize smartphone apps for tablets, designers should start by asking how their users will physically interact with their devices when using an app.

How Google Is Wooing Developers To Make Apps For Android First
This post is the first in the ReadWrite series Making Android Pay, in which we'll explore the opportunities and challenges mobile developers face in trying to make money from Android apps.
In December 2011, Google chairman Eric Schmidt predicted that mobile developers would be building apps for Android first instead of iOS by the middle of 2012. That obviously hasn’t happened. But Google has doubled down on its push for more Android-first apps, largely by making it easier for developers to ma...
