Jillian Hastings, head of business development for HowUDish, explains how the new app works. HowUDish allows users to find meals that work for their diets, no matter where they are. Hastings explains how her team pulls nutritional information from multiple databases in order to give users the most up-to-date meal info possible. She says the app is adding roughly 9,000 restaurants in the New York area. After getting her start in the fashion world, Hastings says she learned how to be an entrepreneur while at Kate Spade. Hastings also reveals that HowUDish is launching a social network soon to help users connect with dietitians in their area.

Musk loses crown as world’s richest to software giant Larry Ellison
Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison wrested the title of the world’s richest man from longtime holder Elon Musk early Wednesday as stock in his software giant rocketed more than a third in a stunning few minutes of trading. That is according to wealth tracker Bloomberg. A college dropout, the 81-year-old Ellison is now worth $393 billion, Bloomberg says, several billion more than Musk, who had been the world’s richest for four years. The switch in the ranking came after a blockbuster earnings report from Oracle. Forbes still has Musk as the richest, however, valuing his private businesses much higher.

However, the company was still facing trial over acquiring those books from online "shadow libraries" of pirated copies.
