Mainline

About Mainline

Three technology stories a day, with the part that matters explained: what shipped, who paid for it, and what it signals about where the industry is going.

Mainline is a daily brief on technology and the money moving through it. Three stories a morning: one worked through properly, two noted with what they change.

We are not a gadget blog. The question we try to answer is what a launch, a filing or a funding round signals — about a company's position, about a market, about what everyone else will do next quarter.

We read TechCrunch, The Verge, WIRED and the NYT technology desk, among others, and we link out to the original reporting every time. When the analysis is ours we say so; when we are reading someone else's work we credit it.
