ShotSpotter. Detect and locate gunfire in your urban area – now with video integration. Ay yi yi!  ShotSpotter’s gunshot location technology is based on acoustic detection of muzzle blast and, depending on the circumstances, the sound of the projectile while it travels.

As Britain’s secret service, SIS provides the…

Why are they smiling? Because they’re taking apparently taking advantage of NuRide, a strangely unimpressive service to encourage ride sharing where it’s so desperately needed. Why unimpressive, you ask, with a Skinny Decaf Latte en route to your lips. Well the rewards suck, for starters. A $25.00 gift voucher to TGI Fridays? For sharing your 70 minute ride with a corpulent toothbrush salesman from Idaho? Hmm….   NuRiding is similar to airline travel but for your car. You plan your trips online and…
