Benchmark Capital general partner Bill Gurley tipped an interesting price point for a potential Yammer deal. He asked on-stage whether it was $1.4 billion to the co-head of Goldman Sachs' global telecommunications, media and technology investment banking unit Anthony Noto tonight at the F.ounders conference in New York. Noto declined to comment.

Cross-pollination is a beautiful thing. In the natural world, it brings bountiful harvests and pretty flowers. In the mobile world, we benefit from the sharing of ideas and technologies. Case in point is Windows Phone, as Microsoft has just announced...

It's easy to take the thrill rides of today for granted - like these homemade roller coasters - without taking a look back to see where they originated from. We've rounded up seven vintage thrill rides from the early 1900s that you never knew exi...

Someone at Google must like Airtime as much as we do, because it just added a roughly equivalent YouTube party mode to Google+ Hangouts. As long as everyone has the web app running, they can share individual videos or whole playlists that run in sync...

If you work in a corporate environment, it's probably fair to say that you've at least heard of the trend known as BYOD (bring your own device). While the idea remains just that for many enterprises, AT&T is hoping to make the transition a bit mo...

With all the real-life zombie news floating around - including this transforming safe house - it's not surprise that a baker and art student in China came up with "Body Bakery", a line of bread that resembles human body parts. That's right, "each...

O Meltemi, we hardly knew ye. In fact, we didn't know ye much at all, since Nokia never made the OS official. Nonetheless, claimed insiders have told AllThingsD that the reputed Linux-running alternative to S30 and S40 won't ever see the light of day...

If there's one thing Sony got right with its NXT line, it's that design-distinctive, transparent element. Problem is, aside from color matching with your photo collection, that incognito antenna doesn't do much -- well, not with the company's offici...

Pivoting is a part of life for startups. But, generally speaking, most entrepreneurs aren't going to go out of their way to pivot right when their business starts taking off. But that's what SimpleReach did. The startup's first product, The Slide, is a simple widget that lets publishers recommend similar content at the bottom of articles. In just a few months, it was adopted by thousands of publishers, like Freakonomics.com, sparknotes.com, disinfo.com, The Washington Times, and SF Gate -- to name a few. Yet, in spite of strong early growth and graduating from AngelPad's accelerator program, they decided to pivot. They froze all new signups to The Slide and turned their attention to an idea they believed could have a much larger impact. Today, the NYC-based startup is revealing its new solution, a product founder Eddie Kim calls the "PageRank of social."

Desperate to increase video chat usage, Facebook is testing out a "Call" button  on top of people's timeline profiles. I don't think I've received a Facebook video chat since Facebook partnered with Skype to launch the feature a year ago, but now that might change. If a friend is online on the desktop version of Facebook, those in the test see a "Call" button next to that friends name on their profile , while previously a tiny videocamera icon in the text chat window was basically the only way to start a video chat. Facebook seems to have realized it needed to highlight the feature, otherwise when people want to smile and laugh with friends face to face their first thought might be the Google+ and its Hangouts, or the newly launched Airtime from former Facebook President Sean Parker.
