Just click. It’s exactly what you hope it’s going to be.
If you think about it, a sushi restaurant’s conveyor belt isn’t just a fun delivery system for nigiri and sashimi. It’s also a sales pitch in the form of a metaphor: what better way to eat fresh fish than to scoop them out of an endlessly flowing stream as they pass by?
The Elio is an interesting, affordable vehicle that has attracted legions of enthusiastic supporters before its release.
A few years ago, it was hard to imagine a vehicle like the Elio getting on the road, let alone attracting so much interest from customers and investors. The three-wheeled vehicle isn’t that sporty, it doesn’t look conventional, and it’s not completely practical. You need something bigger if you want to go on a long trip, or if you live in the countryside.
The newly rebranded SalesforceIQ wants to understand your inbox and calendar better than you do.
Among the many announcements at this year’s Dreamforce conference, a well-attended corporate confab in San Francisco for Salesforce users, one in particular stood out: a startup that Salesforce spent nearly $400 million acquiring was being fully integrated into the corporate mothership. RelateIQ, a data-driven company that was once seen as a future competitor to Salesforce, announced that their tech is being used to fuel two new Salesforce products. RelateIQ’s algorithms and interface, which functions roughly like a Google Now or Cortana, are now being used to create two new software programs for small businesses and Salesforce’s large corporate users.
Get all bent out of shape during your workout—not while trying to put away your gear after.
According to Aaron Thornton and Yu Tsai, you’re all idiots. You can’t even roll up your yoga mat without dropping it onto the dirty street, and getting the things into the trunk of your car is totally beyond your tiny brain. Their Kickstarter pitch video is like that scene from Zoolander where the models are in a gas station spraying petrol all over each other.
Brand vice president-general manager Geoff Cottrill talks about why free studio time for musicians is great advertising, and more.
As iconic American brands go, the Chuck Taylor may be the least advertised. Don’t get me wrong, the Nike subsidiary spends plenty of money on marketing, but think about the most popular brands out there: Air Jordans, iPhones, Budweiser—along with an unforgettable logo and product, they boast ads that have had a cultural impact. Whether it’s “Is it the shoes?,” “Hello?,” or “Waassuuuup?,” the advertising is part of the aura.
An ambulance arrived at the premiere of Bite when the audience didn’t react well. The director talks making horror movies dangerously gross.
The goal of any self-respecting horror movie director is to provoke a reaction. Chad Archibald’s new film, however, has induced a reaction far more physical than he could’ve anticipated.
Fountain uses artificial intelligence to connect you with specialists who can answer even the most arcane questions.
Aaron Patzer knew when he bought a house that Google just wasn’t going to cut it. The Mint.com founder suddenly found himself with a range of new problems and questions, from a broken hot water heater to uncertainty over how best to protect the wooden paneling on the side of his new home. But getting answers to these questions online proved tedious and sometimes impossible. Surely, he figured, there was a way to better connect people with the insights they need.
CEOs of fossil fuel companies are raking it in—and their pay gives them little incentive to think about the long term.
Last year, ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson raked in $33.1 million—including bonuses for new drilling in the Arctic and the Canadian tar sands at a time when climate scientists argue that burning even the world’s existing reserves will fry the planet.
The technology comes compliments of Square.
The 2016 presidential election will be notable for more reasons than bad hair jokes. It will be the first time that Twitter will be able to process political donations directly from supporters to candidates, thanks to a widget created by Square.
The private aerospace company is opening a production facility, adding 330 jobs and investing more than $200 million.
Blue Origin, the rocket company started by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, announced Tuesday that it was building a manufacturing facility on Florida’s Space Coast, just south of the Kennedy Space Center, and would be launching from there “later this decade.” The company is investing at least $200 million in the region and will add about 330 jobs through its new production site. The announcement was touted as a huge boost toward realizing commercial space travel, with Florida making efforts to position itself as a hub of “space commerce.”
