The Next Big Opportunity for Tech Entrepreneurs? 'Smart' Homes

The role of technology in the home has changed drastically in recent years. We've come a long way from the kitchen wall phone and desktop computer, in an era when smartphones, tablets and wearables dominate the scene. The newest wave comes from the internet of things (IoT), and today's offerings are raising the bar on what makes a device "smart." Increasingly, "smart" means safe, in terms of security and health. Joe Colistra, architect at the Center for Design Research at the University of Kansas, was  recently profiled  in  The Atlantic  on his vision for a smart home that safeguards occupants' well-being. Such updates include motion-sensing walls and force-detecting floors that notice walking problems in senior citizens. Another update: "smart toilets" that analyze biochemistry and report to doctors on the user's health. With technology redefining home life in these ways, now seems like a ripe time for entrepreneurs to get in on

The People, Products and Brands We've Lost This Year

It’s pretty early in the year and we’re already saying goodbye. At the end of 2016, Twitter announced it was shutting down its video service Vine -- devastating thousands with the news. YouTube personality and filmmaker Casey Neistat closed the gates of his social video app Beme too when he sold it to CNN in the fall of 2016. On top of companies making their exits, we’ve seen some of our favorite and most inspirational leaders pass away. The Queen of Carbon, Mildred Dresselhaus, died in February this year, as well as iconic actress Mary Tyler Moore. Here are some of the people, products and brands we’ve lost this year.

Beyond Brand Building: When You Are Your Brand

We are seeing a shift in what it means to be a brand and how to build your brand. From about 2007 or 2008 -- alongside the rise of social media as a mainstream technology -- we cultivated a mindset around building our  personal brands  (where the winners were the ones shouting the loudest). This in turn led us to reimagine business brands where the focus was on humanizing those brands. Brands evolved beyond the words and visuals to describe them and manifested more as “what we do, is our brand.” In recent times, this evolution has continued as brand building has focused on greater authenticity, transparency and empathy. This evolution has been  inspired  by consumers who have become more demanding of the businesses that supply them of products and services. Gone are the days where branding was considered a marketing activity purely for the benefit of the company doing it. Not sharing your why? It’s time to start. Today  branding  is about being open and accessible. It's

How Fiverr's Culture Created a Company of CEOs

Editor’s Note: In the new podcast  Masters of Scale , LinkedIn co-founder and Greylock partner Reid Hoffman explores his philosophy on how to scale a business -- and at Entrepreneur.com, entrepreneurs are responding with their own ideas and experiences on our  hub . This week, we’re discussing Hoffman’s theory: the smartest companies don't tell their employees how to innovate, they manage the chaos. Listen to this week's episode  here .  Just like how an ecosystem impacts the life that develops in it, culture impacts how a company grows. It becomes the lens everything within the company is seen through. When we think of consistently  successful companies , a “cultural commitment” is often referenced as one reason for their ongoing success. When a  company struggles , a "broken culture” too often becomes the key culprit for organizational failures. Culture impacts who you choose to hire and how you choose to utilize those team members. Simply put, culture becomes a driv

20 Facts about Apple on the Apple II's 40th Anniversary

June 10 marks the 40th anniversary of the release of the Apple II computer. The tech giant’s first offering, the Apple I, was sold in DIY kit form, but the Apple II, released in 1977, was designed to be used by the everyday consumer -- with features such as color graphics, sound and even a built-in video game -- right out of the box. The modern era of personal computers and the fortunes of the tech giant’s flagship product are inextricably tied together. The Apple II was  discontinued  in 1990, but it was a bestseller for more than a decade. By 1984, more than  2 million  of the computers had been sold. In his  introduction  of the Apple II in  BYTE Magazine  in 1977, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak shared his vision of the future: “To me, a personal computer should be small, reliable, convenient to use and inexpensive.” That vision seems to have paid off. In celebration of the Apple II’s 40th birthday, here is a look at some unexpected facts about the company.

Heroin Recovered from Pakistani Couple Traveling for Umra

The Airport Security Force (ASF) claims to have arrested a couple attempting to smuggle heroin to Saudi Arabia. According to ASF officials present at the Lahore International Airport, a couple of passengers were found in possession of illegal contraband. Muhammad Anwar and his spouse were about to board a flight to Jeddah for Umrah when they were intercepted by the airport security. During the search, the officers found six kilograms of heroin in the couple’s luggage. An official told the media: “The drugs were recovered during a search prior to Muhammad Anwar and his wife boarded a foreign airline to travel to Jeddah to perform Umrah.” The suspected smugglers have been taken into custody and will be handed over to the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF), said the officials. A First Investigation Report (FIR) will be filed against the duo under the anti-narcotics laws.
