People Power turns old iOS devices into surveillance equipment. Fancy home surveillance systems may be out of your budget, but you can always turn that aging smartphone or tablet into a wireless security camera.
A new iOS app, People Power’s Presence, helps you turn unused iPhone, iPods, or iPads into a makeshift security system that you can monitor remotely. You install the free app on your old device and your current smartphone, create a Presence account, and point the cameras in the direction you want to keep an eye on. People Power demonstrated the app at the 2013 International CES, part of a prevailing theme of connected homes powered by apps. In the months between CES and the app’s official launch this week, People Power added a new feature—Two-way video and audio streaming. Moss says People Power added the capability after users said being able to communicate with parents, kids, or pets in the event of an emergency was important. “We’re trying to make an app that is extremely useful,” People Power co-founder David Moss says.
A Beginner's Guide to HTML. CloudFlare Was Down Due To Edge Routers Crashing, Taking Down 785,000 Websites Including 4chan, Wikileaks, Metallica.com. Security and caching service CloudFlare was down for close to an hour due to an issue with its edge routers.
It’s now back up and running. As the service adds a layer between 785,000 websites and their users in order to speed up traffic and prevent DDoS attacks and other security issues, all of those websites were affected — 4chan was one of them. “At around 9:47 UTC (1:47 AM in California), a change got pushed out. It caused the edge routers in our network to crash,” co-founder and CEO Matthew Prince told us over the phone. “I don’t want to throw the routers’ vendor under the bus, but it caused them to crash. Even though the operations team is monitoring the service 24/7, the routers crashed in such a way that they had to be manually rebooted. “Starting about 30 minutes after the first report, the routers started coming online,” Prince said.
“This is a completely unacceptable event to us,” Prince said. The company’s own website and status page were down, giving an Error 502.
