In one of the latest developments, Atom Bank, a UK mobile banking startup and app aimed at hip, youthful consumers that has yet to launch its commercial service, is today announcing that it has closed an £82… 
In an effort to kickstart its mobile payments solution, Android Pay, Google this morning announced a holiday campaign that will see the tech giant donating up to a million toward special education projects in partnership with nonprofit DonorsChoose.org. This is the first time Google has ever worked with an NGO on a mobile payments campaign, the company notes. However, it’s not the first… 
Placester, a service that helps real estate agents and brokers to serve their clients and market themselves better, today announced that it has raised a $27 million Series C round.

LiquidText, the annotation and document reader app developer for iOS (and a critical darling that has been one of Apple’s selected apps in its store nearly since its launch), has launched a new version with features for the new iPad Pro. 
Today, Microsoft’s Skype released a really fun video with Christopher Lloyd, aka Doc Brown of Back To The Future. In it he answers a bunch of questions from folks who are dressed up for the viewing of Back To The future. It’s actually quite touching, and a reminder of how powerful the movie has been for our generation…and for generations to come: Christopher Lloyd joined…
