The makers of Vessyl, the $200 smart cup that helps dummies remember what they're drinking, released a Teens React marketing video featuring tech's finest thought leaders. And they're damn impressed: "The experience is one of those technology leaps that's indistinguishable from magic."

If anyone can help entitled Google Glass users understand the difference between a hate crime and being asked to take off a $1,500 computer, it's Daily Show correspondent Jason Jones.

The FBI doesn't care much for the future of cryptocurrency: over $17 million worth of wacky internet money, seized from internet drug barons on the Silk Road, will be dumped via auction. Now's your chance to buy some bargain Bitcoins and feel like you're in a cool crime thriller.

The Daily Show is scheduled to air a segment on the plight of the glasshole tonight. It follows Sarah Slocum, who was allegedly assaulted in a San Francisco dive bar for recording patrons with Google Glass before going on a self-promotion tour that lasted most of the spring. Now we can watch the spotlight return to her computer-adorned face.

Cups: we all use them. But how do we know what's splashing around inside? Thanks to Vessyl, humanity will never again struggle to remember what we just poured into our glass.

Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it can take an open floor plan full of marginalized, under-compensated women to raise a startup. Or, in the case of this Craigslist ad for a job in SOMA, one "Girl Friday" to do everything, including "cooking simple Paleo meals and grilling meats."

When Vinod Khosla isn't busy blocking access to beaches, he's dishing out billions to startups through his venture capital firm. But on a recent house-hunting adventure in San Francisco, Khosla realized the products he invests in are helping price the poor out of the Bay Area.

The tech industry will save the world because they know how to think differently—just not from each other. Path, the struggling sticker pack carrying case, is following the wisdom of the venture capital crowd and going ephemeral. At this point, if all the cool kids built a jumping off the bridge app, so would CEO Dave Morin.

In April, the Wall Street Journal asked us to "Meet Twitter's Mr. Fix-It: Ali Rowghani." Today, Rowghani tweeted some news: he's done with the company, effective immediately.

If you float the theory that "younger users don't like the feeling of being alone. They want to be tethered to their friends constantly," important venture capitalists will invest in your app. It doesn't even need to solve that problem.

GoPro, the extreme wearable camera that's often attached to Red Bull-sponsored athletes, drones, and homeless people, is IPOing for a modest $3 billion dollar valuation.

Last month, Uber boasted that its drivers command a median salary of $90,000 per year. This is not totally honest. Justin Singer wades into the financial morass, and says the truth about how much Uber drivers make is very far from simple.

True or false: thoughts? Trick question, because the answer is leadership. How many iPhones would it take to fill up Tim Cook's duffel bag? Another trick: he hasn't owned a bag since 1999. One last question: do you have what it takes to land a job with a silly title?

Last Monday, the FBI arrested Ryan Kelly Chamberlain II, a San Francisco-based public relations consultant. In a recently unsealed affidavit, the FBI says Chamberlain allegedly bought "biological agents and lethal toxins" on a darknet site known as Black Market Reloaded, which is similar to Silk Road.

Traditional, non-smartphone taxi drivers are blockading traffic in cities across Europe today (including London, above), part of a coordinated protest against Uber's widening presence on the continent.

Apple's long history of using tax shelters is finally coming under European scrutiny. EU regulators have begun "formal investigations" into Apple's tax practices, which are responsible for funneling company revenue into Ireland since 1980, saving Apple $74 billion between 2010 and 2013.

In Hollywood, a botched career often takes many years to reverse—if it turns around at all. But in tech, where failure is worshipped, the men who fail spectacularly don't have to worry about history. Each new day is a new chance to play with someone else's money, no matter how badly you fucked up the last time. Just ask Peter Pham.

Teacher tenure was found to be unconstitutional today in California, with a judge ruling that students are "unfairly, unnecessarily disadvantaged" by the practice. On its face, Vergara v. California was the case of nine students fighting a practice designed to protect educators' academic freedom that now occasionally entrenches terrible teachers. However, the case was part of a larger shell game orchestrated by one Silicon Valley tech mogul.

Yahoo! exec David Karp and the President of the United States are currently running a Q&A session about issues that affect American youths—because, like everyone always said, Tumblr is where the teens are. And hey, they both love drones.
