TechCrunch Disrupt SF last year was a huge hit and we are all ready to do it again! Disrupt SF is coming up, quicker than we realize, and we are already starting to plan like crazy behind the scenes. Believe me when I tell you this event will be just as awesome as last year’s.

Spotlight on hybrids: 4 of top 6 Le Mans contenders are hybrid race cars
Posted by VentureBeat
[ UPDATED ]
Sorry, NASCAR fans. Probably the most important motorsport event in the world is 24 Hours of Le Mans. It’s the world’s oldest continually-running car race, and somewhat surprisingly this year, four of the top six contenders are hybrid cars.
Two are from perennial all-star team Audi, and two are from a team that’s been absent for a decade: Toyota.
Car technology is often�tested and perfected�in the�racing world. The list of innovations that moved from race cars to street cars is long: rear view mirrors, crumple zones for crash safety, paddle shifters for automatic-like manual transmissions, crash recorders, turbo chargers, seat belts, and more.
That’s why i[...]

Publishers, your shares data is wrong (part one of two)
Posted by Gigaom
Social is the new SEO.
SEO is still a major traffic driver for publishers, but search is search is slowly losing its grip — constituting less than 50 percent of traffic sent to publishers — to an exploding number of social referrers. But, as publishers turn to social insights to optimize content and fuel site revenue, they run into a big problem. The data that they?re looking at to make these high and low-level decisions about social is inaccurate.
As the CEO of Parse.ly, a data and analytics platform provider for large-scale content sites, I?ve worked with teams from some of the biggest online publishers to resolve their data challenges. Social shares comprise a new data source[...]

Posted by PCWorld
Apple's new Retina MacBook Pro is a harbinger of future changes to the company's laptop line, analysts said today.
And those changes could come as soon as October.
"It's pretty clear that as some of the technology in the MacBook Pro with Retina becomes more available and at a lower cost, they will drive those technologies down through the rest of the line," said Ezra Gottheil of Technology Business Research.
Apple launched the new MacBook Pro Monday at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), and touted the notebook as thinner and lighter than the standard MacBook Pro, boasted of its high-resolution display -- dubbed "Retina" to match the marketing label used for the pixel-packed s[...]
