Raise Your Seed Round By Treating Investors As Team Members

The psychology of seed-stage investing is complex. As the one raising money, it’s easy to fall into the trap of treating the process like a transaction. But at the seed stage, neither investors nor the startups can make accurate predictions on numbers alone. Investors look for other data points to evaluate the opportunity, such as the strength of the team and who else has already… Read More

When Facebook Knows You Better Than You Know Yourself

Every time you log in to Facebook, every time you click on your News Feed, every time you Like a photo, every time you send anything via Messenger, you add another data point to the galaxy they already have regarding you and your behavior.

Apple Music dents Pandora's user-base

Nearly a month after Apple Music’s launch back in June this year, Pandora’s CEO Brian McAndrews said their online music streaming service was largely unaffected by the new competitor. However, it has now been revealed that the launch resulted in Pandora losing 1.3 million active users in Q3.

The revelation was made by McAndrews himself, who also noted that this is approximately the same number of users the company lost when iTunes Radio launched around two-years ago. “I am pleased to say that, given the scale of press and consumer attention on this launch, the impact on our active users and listening hours was muted and was, in fact, consistent with what we experienced during the launch of Apple’s radio service in 2013,” he said.

Pandora’s total user base now stands at 78.1 million – while that’s an y-o-y increase of 1.6 million, it’s actually a sequential decline of 1.6%. On the other hand, months-old Apple Music currently has a total of around 15 million subscribers, of which an impressive 6.5 million are paying to use it.

OnePlus extends OP2 invite expiry period to 3 days

OnePlus has made a sensible move – the company has extended its invite expiry period to 3 days, which means you’ll now have full three days to claim your OnePlus 2 invites compared to just 24 hours that the company gave you earlier.

The reason it makes sense is that a 3 day period will reduce chances of users missing out on invites sent via email. In addition, the extended period will also give them more options to claim their invites at a time convenient to them.

The move comes just over a week after the Chinese company started a limited-period contest, where-in selected candidates were allowed to trade-in their latest Samsung flagships for a brand new OnePlus 2…

President Obama did his best Grumpy Cat impression to mock the GOP

It seems no one can resist the cynical charms of Grumpy Cat, not even the commander-in-chief

“Overall, though, we’re making enormous progress, and it does make you wonder, why is it that Republican politicians are so down on America?” Obama said. “I mean, they are, they are gloomy. They’re like Grumpy Cat.”

Government says Apple licenses iOS, it doesn't sell it

According to the government, you don’t own the software inside your iPhone or iPad. This came up during a recent legal tussle involving the Department of Justice. The DOJ is trying to get Apple to crack encrypted code inside an iPhone that is part of a court case. Apple says that not only does it not have to do this, it claims that it doesn’t have the technical prowess to do so.

Apple’s statement that it does not have to do the DOJ’s bidding was basically shot down by Justice Department lawyers that claim Apple does not sell you iOS, it licenses it to you. The distinction is important in … – Source

Judge tosses Wikimedia’s anti-NSA lawsuit because Wikipedia isn’t big enough

(credit: Wikimedia Commons)

On Friday, a federal judge dismissed an anti-surveillance lawsuit brought by Wikimedia, ruling in favor of the National Security Agency.

In his 30 page ruling, US District Judge Richard D. Bennett found that Wikimedia and the other plaintiffs had no standing, and could not prove that it had been surveilled, largely echoing the previous 2013 Supreme Court decision in the case of Clapper v. Amnesty International.

Judge Bennett found that there is no way to definitively know if Wikimedia, which publishes Wikipedia, one of the largest sites on the Internet, is being watched.
