Max Read and Nitashu Tiku have the last word on Silicon Valley and tech media's race problem.
How Monster, maker of the world's premiere overpriced HDMI cables became Monster, maker of the world's premiere over headphones, and then lost it all.

No one bought a new TV for 3-D despite the massive multi-year push from Hollywood and the TV industry. But 4K might have a different story. Just watch this.
Gift cards are terrible gifts, and Facebook Gifts triple terribly so, BUT Facebook Gift Cards — actually gift cards with Facebook emblazoned on the front — have one neat trick: They can hold balances for multiple different stores.
