MOUNTAIN VIEW (CBS SF) You get a text message on your Google phone from your blood-born Google nanosensors saying you need more vitamin D, so you turn off your Chromecast, turn on your Google connected home security system, pop in your Google anti-UV contact lenses, hop in your Google car to go to a beach that Googles YouTube predicted you would like, then order up a burger and ice cream sundae to be delivered by Google drone, that youll eat with your Google Spoon, all coordinated using WiFi from Google balloons and satellites hovering above the Earth. Powered by Googles Kite turbines. And youll do it all because Googles Calico Lifespan project alerted you this morning that you have exactly 22 years, 5 months left of projected life left, and you want to enjoy every Google-connected minute of it.
Creepy? Maybe.
Brilliant? Yes.
Invasive? Definitely.
Reality? Every one of these is an actual project Google is investing time, money, and in some cases, entire divisions to make a reality. Many already delivered on their initial goals. Some of them Google has bought outright, and began improving on the technologies. Others are home grown.
Whichever way they came to be under the Google umbrella (or Google tentacles, depending on your view of massive corporations that explore diverse products), they show how Google is increasingly entrenched in every part of our lives.
Its all public information, all available byyou guessed it: Googling it.
And, expect this list to grow. Astro Teller (yes, thats his real name) who runs the moon shot programs at Google X tells Forbes they reject 100 projects every year or more, including the Google Jetpack (too inefficient) and the Google Hoverboard (not practical).
16GOOGLE PROJECTS THAT COULD CHANGE THE WORLD and CHANGE YOUR LIFE
1. GOOGLE TERMINATOR:This 6 foot, 2-inch tall, 330 pound robot named Ian is not really a killer, but it could be. It looks like the Terminator, but its stated skills include carrying a fire hose, driving a car, and apparently doing moves from The Karate Kid. Its a product of Boston Dynamics, a Google-owned subsidiary, that does contract work for DARPA, the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corp in addition to private companies like Sony.

POLAND, Ohio -
Imagine someone watching every move you make inside your home.
That's what prompting a Poland township woman to take legal action alleging that someone hacked into her home video security system.
Jocelyn Pannunzio has filed a lawsuit seeking damages for invasion of privacy.
Pannunzio wanted a video system to monitor her son's bedroom so she could watch him at night when she wasn't home.
When the system developed a problem, a technician made a disturbing discovery and asked if they had been logging in to the system.
We don't even know how to log in. Just from our I-phones, said Pannunzio. The technician told Pannunzio that someone had been logging in everyday, all day.
Dave Betras is Pannunzio's attorney, who had the system checked by a computer forensic expert.
I have proof that someone hacked into her home system and someone monitored her and recorded her in her own home said Betras.
Pannunzio says it's disturbing to know that loving moments with her son were not really private.

Smartphone-friendly and free of monthly fees (unless you go premium), this is complete home security in a box.
Oplink
I said it before, and I'll say it again: Home security is a tricky business. Either you pay for a professional system -- and keep paying for monthly monitoring and false alarms -- or you go for a camera-based system that's a hassle to install (and not always a good deterrent).
Somewhere in between lies a new generation of smart, DIY home-security solutions. These can often set you back at least a few hundred dollars, but for a limited time and while supplies last, Best Buy has the Oplink Connected AlarmShield OPG2200 security system for $124.99. Shipping is free, but you're on the hook for sales tax.
The kit consists of everything you need to shore up your home: a Wi-Fi IP camera with infrared LEDs (for night vision), two door/window sensors, two key fobs, a motion detector, a siren and the main hub. As with most such systems, you can scale up with more sensors, cameras, and the like.
Speaking of which, the virtually identical OPG2201 package includes two cameras, but sells for more than twice the price ($296.06). I mention that so you can check out the user reviews (there are none for this particular configuration), which average out to 4.2 stars out of 5. (Another point of reference: a zero-camera version sells at Walmart for $149, and has a 4.5-star average. Suffice it to say, this is the bundle to beat.)
I'm not a fan of anything that involves a monthly fee, and the AlarmShield can be operated for free if you choose. That affords you unlimited live video streaming, remote arm/disarm capabilities, push notifications, and so on. But if you step up to Oplink's Premium service ($19.99 per month), you gain extras like multiple authorized users and SMS alerts to emergency contacts. To me, this is a very fair tier strategy, as many users will be able to get by just fine with the basic feature set.
Honestly, the only thing that bugs me is that the kit doesn't seem to include any window stickers indicating its presence. Call me naive, but I suspect burglars are more likely to bypass a house that has a "Protected By" sticker.
In any case, $125 is a very reasonable price to pay for a very complete home-security system, especially one that doesn't require monthly fees. Your thoughts?
Bonus deal: BinaryNow's SlimPublisher is a desktop-publishing program designed to help you create your own letterhead, labels, bar codes, business cards and the like. (Believe it or not, some businesses still use that stuff!) It normally sells for $24.95, but today only, BitsDuJour has SlimPublisher (Win) for free. To get it, you'll need to "like" both BinaryNow and BitsDuJour on Facebook. To me, that's a very fair trade, though I suspect some readers will get seriously bent out of shape about it -- in which case I'm sure BinaryNow would gladly accept your $25 instead.

(PRWEB) February 25, 2015
In the United States alone, more than 2 million people's homes get burglarized each year. Unfortunately, upward of 30 percent of these break-ins take place in homes where a door or window is unlocked. It's important to note that even renters are at just as much risk for being victims of burglary as home owners are. These trends, and new solutions to help improve home security, will be discussed in a new segment of "In America" with host James Earl Jones.
Most burglaries take place in June and July, when it is warm outside. And the incidences usually take place in the daytime when homeowners or renters are at work or school. A home without a security system has a 300 percent greater chance of being burglarized, making it all the more important to invest in some type of home security.
While consumers might not feel threatened by a theft at home, a new burglary takes place every thirteen seconds. If you would like to learn more about burglaries and how a home security system can be of benefit to you and your entire family, make sure to watch James Earl Jones' segment on In America.

Recent FBI statistics reveal that nearly 9 million property crimes take place in the U.S. each year, because of that we are seeing a surge in the installation of home security systems.
Protecting your home from unwanted intruders is serious business.
Typically, a modern alarm system with high-quality wireless equipment can be installed for about $700, but the real key is who is on the other end of the alarm.
"All our employees go through thorough background checks, so if we wouldn't have them in our home and feel comfortable we certainly aren't going to send them to our clients' homes," said Kirk Booher a home security professional.
"When considering a home alarm system the monitoring is the most important part, said Angie Hicks of Angies List. You can install an alarm that is just going to make sound in your house if somebody trips it, but the real value of an alarm system is it being tied to the police, and the fire, in case of an emergency."
When you meet with a home security company find out what company they use for their alarm monitoring.
Make sure it is UL Certified, or has a 5-star diamond rating from the Central Station Alarm Association.
You will pay a separate monthly fee for this, which could range from $15 to $60 depending on how sophisticated your system is.
Once you're satisfied with that it's time to decide on the equipment you need to adequately protect your home.
"We always recommend multiple layers of protection, perhaps perimeter security with cameras, or motion lights, said Booher. Then the next level would be window sensors that detect glass breakage, the window opening; of course, door sensors. Then another layer may be interior motion sensors on interior doors so we have multiple layers of coverage."
