Reddit co-founder Steve Huffman's startup tips; Australians prefer smartphones over TV; goCatch questions Uber's burn rate

StartupSmart
Dear StartupSmart reader,
Startup founders should always aim big according to Reddit co-founder Steve Huffman.

A majority of Australians would rather go without television than their smartphone, while the number of users using their mobile phone for just calls and SMS has fallen to just 9%, according to a new survey.

The race to get products under the Christmas tree from Kickstarter-backed projects.

An Australian startup is hoping to revolutionise the surveying and building industries by using a cloud-based platform to create 3D images from data gathered by drone aircraft.

Competitor questions Uber’s burn rate after $US1.2 billion capital raise.

On a mission to provide small businesses with better courier options, Sydney startup PPost incorporates GPS and crowd power to provide more flexible, transparent and speedy services than traditional courier companies.

Australian movie streaming player EzyFlix will offer its movies at the same price as US customers would pay over Christmas.

The famous theoretical physicist, Stephen Hawking, has revived the debate on whether our search for improved artificial intelligence will one day lead to thinking machines that will take over from us.

If you thought raw was just something people occasionally did to “detox”, then you obviously have not met a dedicated fruitarian. That and more in Best of the Web.
