New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has issued a subpoena "demanding user data" about Airbnb hosts in New York, reports the New York Daily News. An Airbnb representative told Valleywag that the subpoena covers only the 15,000 hosts, and not all 225,000 users in New York. Airbnb has until today to turn over the data.

Since Airbnb is technically illegal in New York City, the startup is willing to make some big concessions. Today, the shining star of the sharing economy said it will launch a 24/7 hotline for New Yorker in order to "remove bad actors in our community that are causing a disturbance to their neighbors." Oh, and it thinks Airbnb hosts should pay an "occupancy tax.

We owe young Patrick McConlogue an apology. Yesterday, the boyish wantrepreneur startled us with his plan to help the poor: just teach them how to code. It seemed a little naive—even demeaning—to think teaching a homeless person Javascript would rescue them from the streets. Maybe we were wrong.

It'll be quite some time before the social network's Manhattan vanguard moves to its sprawling, 100,000 square foot Frank Gehry-designed space. But even a peek at this model shows that it's going to be a desk palace fit for tech royalty.

If you're a "normal married dude," who also happens to have a ton of sex on the side, you probably go to a motel or the back of a Jeep, I don't know. But if you're Google's executive chairman, knee deep in it with billions to spend, you have this soundproofed third base Xanadu.

New York's many hotels are very "lamestream," very "conservative" and "traditional." The new best way to explore Silicon Alley is by renting this "cabin caravan," which is a fun way to describe a tiny plywood trailer located in a parking lot that has no running water.

Deals sites stopped being fun some time ago, and now the companies that staked their entire existence on local coupons are feeling the burn. And then there's LivingSocial, which is feeling the burn because it's setting its own shirt on fire.

While original Facebook employee Chris Hughes is busy trying to restart The New Republic, his equally cherubic husband Sean Eldridge has a project of his own: let's get elected to Congress in a place we aren't from.

Domain suffixes—like .ca or .uk—are usually reserved for actual nations, or at the very least, the US military. But thanks to Mayor Bloomberg, New Yorkers will be able to register a name online that makes them feel just as important as they've always suspected. That crusty ol' dotcom is so, like, early/mid 2013.

Do you find your job, diet, and existence inadequate? If not, make sure to read this latest dispatch from the New York Times trend squad: the city's startup jockeys are spending day after day pressing "calorie-packed" things into their fat fucking maws, chugging beer, and taking naps. They'll also probably be billionaires.

According to Serkan Piantino, head of Facebook's New York engineering team, the crew's move isn't going to be just any humdrum relocation: Frank Gehry, legendary designer of big wavy metallic buildings, will be converting two entire floors of office space for the social network.

If you're in downtown Manhattan today, be sure to swing by the lavish townhouse at 214 Lafayette St., where Google is handing out tangy cocktails, an entire rainbow of macarons, and of course, tens of thousands of dollars in gifted electronics to the journalists who cover it.

Sometimes it feels like your day is going too well, you know? Like the other shoe has to drop. Here's a shoe filled with bad nouns: it's from the Wall Street Journal, it's about investors, Manhattan, startup people, and... an "all-tech" a cappella group.

Crain's says Facebook is tired of its lackluster digs in the Bank of America Tower, nuzzled between finance offices filled with its corporate antitheses. So how about a very expensive relocation to one of New York's priciest neighborhoods?

The world's most popular room-renting service is now illegal in the largest city in the United States, CNET reports. This could be a setback.

On demand car service Uber is handy in a pinch (or a lightning storm), but it's pissed off traditional cab drivers. Many are afraid they'll be driven out of a job—or "disrupted," in Valley-speak—but are losing in big markets like DC. Add New York to the non-elite defeat.
