Imagine that you just finished a nice afternoon jog around your neighborhood. Your housemates are all gone on summer vacation, your landlady is equally far away, and a peaceful apartment waits for you upstairs. There’s just one thing preventing you from enjoying your Sunday afternoon: you’re locked out, and there’s no one to let you in.

 


KeyMe is a new smart phone app that stores pictures of users’ keys in a cloud service, allowing for relatively easy duplication of the key in the event of a lockout.

On TWIT yesterday someone was talking about a camera with
ISC control on an upcoming Smart Phone.

ISC, as Leo explained  is Image Stabilization Control,
which gets rid of the shaky camera jitter.




A You Tube Tech Show (from Smarter Every Day), 
had a better way of explaining how it works 
with a Chicken Head DEMO.

Billionaire Elon Musk (some call him a real-life Tony Stark)
Has a Hyperloopy Idea for Rapid Transportation


What is the 'Hyperloop'?


Musk, the visionary behind electric-car firm Tesla and the private spaceflight company SpaceX, has said he will unveil a Hyperloop design on Monday, Aug. 12, after teasing the world about the superfast travel technology for more than a year.

The solar-powered Hyperloop would allow passengers to get from Los Angeles to San Francisco in less than 30 minutes, Musk has said, meaning it must travel at speeds greater than 600 mph. The system would be cheap and convenient, he added, with tickets costing less than a seat aboard a plane or train and Hyperloop vehicles departing frequently from their various stations.
