Confira os 7 melhores pitches do TC Disrupt NY. A Enigma venceu a competição Startup Battlefield (“campo de batalha”) do evento TC Disrupt em Nova York (conforme publiquei ontem), mas certamente todos os 30 competidores pré-selecionados para a competição foram “peneirados” por diversos avaliadores.
Obviamente, estes 7 pitches (que foram selecionados de dentro dos 30) receberam as mais diversas análises antes de serem colocados como finalistas. Foram avaliados: produtos, negócios, equipes e – claro – apresentações. Reparem no timing, no uso dos recursos audiovisuais (especialmente demonstrações ao vivo e gravadas), no foco das informações prestadas, no nível das perguntas dos avaliadores, no nível das respostas dos empreendedores.

Technology - Technology. 3D Printers One Step Closer To Creating Human Tissue. 3D printing has performed some miraculous feats in the field of medicine.
Researchers are already playing around with the idea of growing organs with 3D printers, and now one university has proven that you can make human-like tissue with the technology. Oxford University revealed this week that its researchers have built a custom 3D printer that prints out a new material that’s composed of thousands of connected water droplets inside lipid films. This new material can perform some of the functions of the cells within our bodies, and may one day be used to either deliver medicine to targeted areas, or repair damaged tissue.
“We aren’t trying to make materials that faithfully resemble tissues but rather structures that can carry out the functions of tissues,” said Professor Hagan Bayley of Oxford University’s Department of Chemistry, who led the research.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Google's self-driving car got its license this week as the state of Nevada became the first in the nation to license the company's vehicles.
And while a computer-driven car may seem unsettling, the technology represents a potential leap forward in auto safety. More than 30,000 people are killed each year in crashes despite huge advances in auto safety. The overwhelming majority of those crashes are caused by human-driver error. Computer driven cars could reduce traffic deaths by a very significant degree, said David Champion, head of auto testing at Consumer Reports, but only if all cars are computer-driven. 3D Printing.
