Anyone who believes in the importance of a free, open and democratic Internet should be rooting for the heroes of the mobile Internet – the app developers whose products engage, challenge and connect billions of end users each day. Most developers aren’t independently wealthy; they need to monetize their creative output in order to continue innovating, informing and entertaining.

The Short History And Long Future Of The Online Lending Industry

Posted on by

I am most worried about the wave of “me, too” players that came after the first wave of online lenders. Most of them built their business plans on the now shifting sands of temporarily high valuations and cheap capital. But I am excited about the Alt Lending 3.0 players, who have had the ability to learn the appropriate lessons of the past decade and can pick their spots and choose a more capital efficient path.

Deal: Huawei Watch deeply discounted today only, starts at $269

Posted on by

The Huawei Watch remains our favorite Android Wear watch at the moment, with the one possible knock against it being its price point.

Today only on Amazon, that lone criticism is largely erased with a substantial price drop ($80-$130 off) on every variant of Huawei’s impressive fledgling smartwatch effort.

As you probably remember, the Huawei Watch is due to receive its Marshmallow update today and is one of the few Android Wear watches with a speaker to take advantage of the ability to accept calls and play sounds directly from the device.

If you have been considering the Huawei Watch, this is the deepest discount we’ve seen to date and a great time to buy.
