TechCrunch NY Is Holding Office Hours To Find The Big Apple’s Best Startups

Wanted: An entrepreneur or team of rivals who want to stand on stage to present their project to thousands of investors and members of the media. Sounds like you? You’re in luck. TechCrunch is holding Office Hours this week to scope out some potential Disrupt Battlefield and Startup Alley participants. These things usually sell out wicked fast so read on to figure out what to do. Office Hours is one of the best opportunities we can offer to a startup to get featured in our massive Disrupt NYC conference. More than a few of our past Disrupt alumni were discovered during Office Hours. It’s pretty straightforward: you come, we meet for 10 minutes, learn about your product, and give any feedback we may have. Do you have to be at office hours to grab a spot at Disrupt? Absolutely not, but putting a face to the name definitely helps. We’ll hold the meetings in our Aol Ventures office at 670 Broadway on Thursday, February 7, at 1pm. But before you rush over and sign up, there are a few requirements: Since we’re looking for potential Disrupt companies, we ask that you have an unreleased product. That means you’re in stealth mode, or in a private beta. You must be ready to launch in late April/early May. No PR people allowed at Office Hours. You can sign up for a session with John, Chris, or myself right here.

Cambridge University Scientists Find Quadruple Helix DNA In Human Cells

on January 21, 2013
No comments
SternisheFan notes that scientists at Cambridge University have found four-stranded DNA in human cells for the first time. “If you’ve ever studied genetics in school or college, you’ll know that the structure of DNA is a double helix. You likely know that DNA carries all of our genetic code. While traditionally we think of only double helix DNA, scientists from Cambridge University in England have made an interesting discovery. According to the researchers, a quadruple helix is also present in some cells and is believed to relate to cancer in some ways. According to the researchers, controlling these quadruple helix structures could provide new ways to fight cancer. The scientists believe the quadruple helix may form when the cell has a certain genotype or operates in a certain dysfunctional state. Scientists have been able to produce quadruple helix material in test tubes for years. The material produced is called the G-quadruplex. The G refers to guanine, which is one of the base pairs that hold DNA together. The new research performed at the University is believed to be the first to firmly pinpoint quadruple helix in human cells.”

Big handset fans (we’ll abstain from the ph-word) will soon have another option in the Oppo Find 5, as it’s set to go on pre-order in China for 2,998 yuan ($ 485) on January 15th. That sum will get buyers there the 16GB model (pricing for the 32GB version in China hasn’t been released), which Oppo will drop in the mail starting on January 29th in all its 5-inch, 1080P, quad-core glory. The company said earlier that it would try to bring the natty looking model to North America, Europe and elsewhere soon afterwards, at $ 500 stateside for the 16GB model and $ 570 for the 32GB version. So, if other size-comparable models aren’t meeting your pixel-density needs, start revving up that plastic.

Oppo Find 5 to hit more international markets in Q1 2013, adds a $569 32GB model

Ho ho ho! Even on this special day, the folks at Oppo decided to drop a bomb on its “Ofans.” According to a fresh teaser on its Facebook page, not only will Oppo be offering the $ 499 16GB version of the quad-core, five-inch 1080p Find 5 in the US (as we already knew), but there’ll also be a 32GB flavor for $ 569. What’s more, the image also lists many additional countries: Canada, UK, Spain, Australia, Germany, France, Belgium, Malaysia, Sweden, Singapore, Finland, Greece, Denmark, New Zealand, Norway, Japan and Hong Kong. Just to be sure, we reached out to Oppo and were told that it’s aiming to hit all these markets within Q1 next year; and better yet, it’ll try to do that as close to the China launch as possible. Sounds like the company’s pushing for a global online retail channel (the blurred out URL probably indicates that it’ll be a centralized website), and it’ll be interesting to compare its performance to Xiaomi’s more humble attempt closer to home.
Update: We’ve been told that this is only a partial list, so fret not if your country isn’t there.

Sony pulled the plug on the original specs for its next-gen Exmor RS sensor, pushing a rollout for those modules into the new year. So while that move, made for quality control purposes, guarantees that a new batch of Xperias outfitted with the tech won’t appear until 2013 at the earliest, imaging fanatics curious for a preview can get a sneak peek courtesy of Oppo. Baked into the Chinese manufacturer’s newly announced Find 5 — a quad-core S4 Pro Android Jelly Bean handset with a 5-inch 1080p display — is the top shelf 13-megapixel version of Sony’s sensor tech. Oppo’s provided a few curated snapshots taken with the camera on its site and, as you’ll see, the resulting images are rich with color and exhibit a fine level of detail. We’ll reserve judgement until we can get our hands on a review unit for extensive testing. Until then, feast your eyes on the samples at the source below.

Salorix Launches Amplfy 2.0 To Help Brands Find The Most Relevant Social Media Conversations

Salorix has upgraded its social media engagement platform Amplfy with what the company says is improved artificial intelligence, which help brands find the social media updates that are worth responding to.
One of Salorix’s big goals is to take customers beyond monitoring their own mentions and a specific set of keywords. Instead, it focuses on specific industries (such as automobiles or electronic goods) and uses AI to identify relevant conversations, to prioritize the comments that come from users who are influential and likely to respond, and to suggest relevant content in the system. For example, a Salorix spokesperson told me that Ford could use Amplfy to get notifications about conversations about muscle cars, point out the updates worth responding to, and suggest a response that would point the user to a relevant page about the Mustang.

Finding clothes that fit just right is surprisingly tough for a sizable amount of the population, especially when shopping online. E-tailers have used everything from 3D scanners to mailable mannequins to ensure that customers find the best sizes for them, and the truly picky have probably had a friend break out a tape measure to get some exact numbers. A whole team of researchers is looking the simplify this process however, and put the power to easily get the right size at your fingertips. A group, including developers from the London College of Fashion, and experts from the University of Surrey and Guided, have come together to turn practically any camera into a virtual tape measure, including your smartphone or webcam. Since the image you capture has to be taken in your underwear, we wouldn’t suggest doing this in public, though. All you have to do is fire up the software, take the pic and punch in your height — the computer does the rest. With funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council the coalition is working to bring the system to market, with hopes of launching within the next two years. For a bit more check out the PR after the break.

Carmakers Find Ways to Make Cheaper Hybrids
Posted by Gsurface
on October 1, 2012
No comments
The fuel-sipping cars have typically been pricier than conventional counterparts, but technological advances are changing that.
As automakers work to comply with fuel-economy standards, they’re increasingly turning to hybrids. Last week, for example, Toyota announced that it would make 21 hybrid models by 2015, up from 12 now (see “Toyota Scales Back Electric Vehicle Plans” and “Stringent CAFE Standards Push Automakers“). Automakers have grown more enthusiastic about hybrids because the cost of making them has plummeted. Several years ago, Toyota’s Prius hybrid cost the consumer about $ 6,000 more than an equivalent conventional car—and even at that price, the company was losing money on every one it sold. The difference is now $ 2,500, and the car is profitable, says Mike Omotoso, an analyst with LMC Automotive. The drop in cost is due to an accumulation of incremental technology improvements, along with economies of scale. And advances going forward—better batteries, electric motors, and power electronics and transmissions—could cut costs by another 50 percent.
