Avoid Your Neighbors with iDoorCam

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 10:30 PM PDT

When I first saw the source article for iDoorCam, I wanted nothing more than to ridicule it for the lazy name and cheesy premise. After watching the video below, I can't deny I'm intrigued.

iDoorCam is a simple device with a camera and a button that pretty much takes the place of your doorbell. When the button is pressed, an alert is sent to your phone, which is acceptable by anyone set up to receive iDoorCam alerts from your device. After accepting, the device connects to your phone via the internet and shows you a live feed of your door front via a small web camera embedded in the device. You can then talk to them through the device's speakers, or ignore the people at your door altogether.

Electing Officials via Twitter?

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 10:23 PM PDT

Researchers at Indiana University have found a startling correlation between Twitter and political votes. Using a sample of over 500 million tweets that took place during August 2010's House of Representatives elections, researchers found that the percentage of votes for political candidates correlated directly to the percentage of tweets that talked about the candidates.

The study found that whether or not the post was positive or negative didn't make a difference. The numbers lined up simply by counting how many times each candidate was mentioned, regardless of what was said.
