The Wall Street Journal was supposed to have the last word on the GitHub harassment allegations, but Julie Ann Horvath claims the story pivoted after cofounder Tom Preston-Werner resigned. For a look into the saga that might have been: here's Horvath's version of events.

MonkeyParking has given up fighting San Francisco. After City Attorney Dennis Herrera deemed the parking spot auctioning startup illegal, MonkeyParking initially refused to shut down. Now they're suspending service to "avoid any future misunderstandings."

Perhaps CYNK is proof that we're in a tech bubble. Or maybe investors are getting taken for a ride. Either way, a Belize-based "social networking" startup that has no assets, no revenue, no members, and one employee has seen its value shoot up 27,066 percent in the last month.

Lyft has already been declared illegal in New York City. The city's taxi commission is threatening to impound driver's vehicles, saying the e-hailing startup hasn't complied with "safety requirements and other licensing criteria."

The only way Google could be in worse trouble with European regulators right now is if Larry Page signed the order to wiretap Angela Merkel's phone himself. NSA revelations have hurt Google's European contracts and antitrust investigations are multiplying like Gremlins.

Uber may have instituted a $1 "Safe Rides Fee" in April, but its background checks remain trivial to get around. Now their lax standards have resulted in another kidnapping. This time, a scofflaw driver in Washington D.C. took a group of out-of-town visitors for a "wild ride."

Tinder's sexual harassment lawsuit hasn't even gone to trial yet, but TechCrunch already thinks it's a bunch of bullshit. Earlier today, tech's favorite mouthpiece published an investigation into Whitney Wolfe's lawsuit that was highly sympathetic towards her former employer. An hour later, TechCrunch announced Tinder CEO Sean Rad would be speaking at their conference in September. Hmm.

Public relations requires discipline, integrity, and like a game of idiot chess, rules. The first rule of public relations: a truly great product will always sell itself. The second rule of public relations: Randi Zuckerberg is always available.

California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom wants to be every techie's favorite politician. He wrote an entire book about technology reinventing government and routinely speaks at industry events. He even attended Sean Parker's infamous wedding. Now Newsom is declaring his "intense passion" for Silicon Valley's chosen car company.

Allen & Co. just kicked off its 32nd annual paean to power in Idaho, where Silicon Valley executives get photographed like they're the Kardashian klan at Valentino's château. Let's skip the boring quotes about "consolidation on the content side" and pick apart the pics instead. I'll start: 1. Why is Mark Pincus holding a baby doll? 2. How low does Zynga stock have to drop before his invitation gets lost in the mail?

A pleasure cruise went wrong for Google executive Forrest Timothy Hayes, after police say his expensive prostitute pal killed him with a heroin overdose aboard his 50-foot yacht.

Yo, the short form messaging app that glibly flaunted its ability to raise $1 million for a jokey premise, has found a use case to justify its existence.

Just days after allegations of rape, intimidation, and abuse against Urban Airship CEO Scott Kveton surfaced, he's calling it quits.

Pinterest's new San Francisco headquarters is "all but dead." The move was blocked by the city over concerns their new landlord was exploiting a zoning loophole to evict dozens of tenants to make room for the startup.

ReservationHop only made it an hour after launching before the criticism to start pouring in. Twitter users were outraged. One restaurateur described the service as "disgusting and hurtful." Even TechCrunch couldn't stomach what ReservationHop was selling.

Uber and Lyft are the Hatfields and the McCoys of ordering cars on your telephone—if the more affluent Hatfields had $1.5 billion in venture financing to the McCoys' piss poor $332 million. Now the feud the companies started in San Francisco has traveled 3,000 miles without losing any steam.

Earlier this year, a woman startup founder told me she'd once been hit on, persistently, by Airbnb's founder and chief executive. But she was grossed out, she said, because of his history as a competitive bodybuilder. Wait, what?

Everyone's least and most favorite transit app catches a lot of flak for lacking anything you might call a conscience, but is that really so fair? It just said it will obey the law and no longer charge insane prices during crises and natural disasters. Those softies!
