Digital media has not only seeped into nearly every part of our lives, it has become increasingly more mobile and social in recent years. During the X Media Lab: Global Media Ideas event in Sydney, Australia, which took place from June 8-10, the international community gathered to discuss the future of digital media and how they are contributing to this new world of opportunities. The digital media think-tanks and workshops pointed to smarter, faster, personal and more inclusive platforms and services for everyone to use. At the end of the conference, it was clear that revolutionary changes will take place in music, interaction design, and collaboration and connectivity, among other areas. –Corvida Raven

Startup accelerator programs, as the name suggests, provide budding companies with any number of resources, from mentorship to free office space to connections with big-time investors. TechStars, which has five program locations throughout the U.S., boasts itself as the No. 1 startup accelerator in the world. It selects around 10 companies for each program location out of thousands of applicants. TechStars invests around $100,000 in each company, and assists with public relations, e-commerce, and legal fees, among other perks. At the conclusion of a three-month mentorship program is “Demo Day,” where these chosen few have the chance to pitch their startups to a room filled with hundreds of investors, potential clients, and media. Last Thursday was Demo Day for TechStars NYC’s Spring 2012 program, and 13 companies have just joined the exclusive group of TechStars alumni. Here we look at seven black founders who have also gone through the program.--Ashley Calloway

New Siri Features I love the current Siri TV ads by Apple, and, quite frankly, it is the only place the personal assistant software seems to work. All jokes aside, it will be interesting to see Siri on new iPad. Here are some of its enhanced functions: --Users will be able to post Facebook updates and send tweets with their voice. --Siri has partnered with Yelp, OpenTable, Rotten Tomatoes, and sports score updates ranging from the latest scores to stats and schedules. --The software assistant will continue expanding globally with its new language support, which will now feature Spanish, Italian, Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese, and optimize languages in 15 countries. Apple is working with automotive manufactures to launch “Eyes Free,” a new feature that will allow a car to bring up Siri voice control. Nine auto manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Jaguar and Toyota are working on this implementation with plans to incorporate the technology in the next 12 months.

A rash of thefts is causing commuters to think twice about wearing expensive headphones such as Monster’s Beats by Dr. Dre on trains and buses. So what can you do to stay safe? You can go cold turkey and leave your audio gear at home, but if you can’t bear to be away from your tunes that long, there’s a partial alternative: Go small. Instead of donning a large, glitzy headset that can be spotted from the other end of a crowded subway platform, use a small, in-ear headset that’s not as obvious but still offers high-quality deep bass and clear high notes. Many of these units incorporate Apple iPod-, iPad- and iPhone-friendly inline remote controls and microphones. If you’re looking to swap your big headphones for small beats, check out these portable and trendy earphones.--Robert S. Anthony
