Sneaker resale marketplace GOAT has been on a bit of a tear since I covered them nearly two years ago. The streamlined app and the incredibly buzzy sneakerhead market have combined for some pretty impressive growth and stickyness.

Apple goes after clones and spam on the App Store
Every time Apple’s developer conference rolls around we get a smattering of changes to the App Store Review guidelines.

Apple just created, and killed, a generation of AR businesses
Two weeks ago, Apple introduced ARKit, its solution for placing 3D objects realistically into a ‘real’ place. Basically, augmented reality.

No, the 5th Ave Apple Store’s glass cube isn’t going anywhere (permanently)
Apple’s construction contractors may indeed have to remove the glass cube that sits over the entrance to the sunken 5th Ave location — but only because it’s a bit hard to do a massive store renovation when there’s a big glass cap on top of your easiest entrance/egress portal. Read More

Marketing slogan
Surprisingly, even though TechCrunch is owned by not one but two enormous corporate entities — the Voltron form of which I like to call Verizaol — we are hit by very little splash from the stream of time-wasting marketing exercises that form a corporation’s very being. Recently, however, we were asked to come up with an internal tagline to explain what TechCrunch is to —… Read More

Apple’s Tim Cook assures employees that it is committed to the Mac and that ‘great desktops’ are coming
One of the memes to come out of the somewhat contentious rollout of the MacBook Pro is that Apple has given up on the desktop Mac. Given the slower upgrade cycle of desktops and how well my Retina 5K iMac is holding up, it took me a while to pay attention to what was going on there — until it had reached a fever pitch. The consensus was that Apple is no longer interested in keeping up… Read More
