"Personal Home Security" - ITUGnu IoT Eitimi 2014 (Intel Galileo Gen2) - Video
One theory behind these numbers is that the current generation of home automation devices is perceived as adding very little value beyond simply being a 'gimmick'. Hendrik Bartel, research director at Gartner, said that the current value propositions are too vague and not enticing enough to achieve broad market penetration.
"Perhaps the first attempt has fallen flat in terms of promoting the value of enhanced energy savings or automation of repetitive tasks, as it would appear to be unable to convince the larger market to take advantage of the connected home," he said.
Bartel suggested that offering discounts for purchasing multiple devices could help to fuel growth, boosing customer loyalty as well as getting more devices into the household. Ensure that home automation devices easily integrate with other devices already installed in the home is also imperative, he said.
Gartner predicts that 2015 will see more household brands moving into the connected home space. In particular, Apple's HomeKit platform is likely to become a hub for connected household objects, and Bartel expects to see products taking advantage of deep iOS integration at CES 2015.
Accenture also expects to see more products from companies that would not traditionally attend CES, in categories such as clinical healthcare, home security and home automation. However, it said that the vast amounts of data being produced by consumer electronics devices will push security further up the agenda.
Indeed, the Consumer Electronics Association has revealed that, for the first time in 2015, there will be two new 'marketplaces' at CES one for personal cyber security products and solutions and one for attendees to learn about the newest technologies and strategies they can adopt to protect their information online.
"As we all embrace the convenience and 'always connected' powerful capabilities of our electronics devices, our privacy and security take on even more importance," said Karen Chupka, senior vice president, International CES and corporate business strategy, CEA.
Meanwhile, Accenture predicts that there will be a strong focus on how car manufacturers are embedding connectivity into their vehicles, allowing for the car to become an extension of the smartphone, and an integral part of the so-called 'Internet of Things'.
The comapny elso expects to see a slew of large-screen smartphones, known as 'phablets', which will put a squeeze on the tablet market, as well as a range of 4K TVs, with a focus on larger, bendable and therefore more flexible screens.

Boston.com dove into the stats from the last few years, punching our calculators and tabulating the averages to bring you the answer, which is it kind of depends.
First, lets look at the data from Boston proper, which bears out the common wisdom to some extent.
The Boston Police Department breaks its crime data down by week, so we actually get to see how the trend changes within the month of December in 2012 and 2013.
The first half of December is pretty normal (i.e. the blue and green bars are about the same height as the purple bar, which represents the average of all 52 weeks of the year), but in both years those last two weeks where Christmas and New Years fall saw significantly more burglaries than the normal week.

Cementing four decades of diplomatic relations with a commitment to address regional security issues, the home ministry has made great strides forward in fostering strong collaborations with China.
To enhance the nations security, Malaysia will be working very closely with the Peoples Republic of China particularly on enforcement measures, home minister Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi stressed to Sunday Star.
The ministrys move is in line with what prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had earlier described as the two countries joint vision to sustain the security that has allowed dynamic economic growth for both sides.
Speaking to Chinas newspaper, the Peoples Daily, during the 2014 Apec Economic Leaders Week in Beijing last month, the premier had referred to China as an important friend and partner - something Dr Ahmad Zahid, who led a delegation of senior officials on a six-day working visit to China recently, echoed. Dr Ahmad Zahid was in Beijing to meet with officials and the countrys State Councillor and Minister of Public Security Guo Shengkun.
He also visited security sites such as the Police Training Academy and the Ministry of Public Securitys research institution where research and development of technological security products are conducted.
Dr Ahmad Zahid also witnessed the signing of the minutes of the Second Malaysia-China Joint Working Group Meeting on Cooperation in Transnational Crime.

Transcript for Investigation: Some Home Alarm Salesmen Accused of Underhanded Tactics
Reporter: A quiet neighborhood on the north side of Chicago. And on this day, a stranger comes knocking, a door to door salesman. What the salesman does not know, inside, the house is rigged with hidden cameras, part of a "20/20" investigation into the hard sale tactics of door to door sales of home alarm systems. The door to door sales is fraught with problems and this industry has enormous problems. Windchill watch this video of a training video. His name is Adam Shantz. He is says everyone is fair game, even those with signs that say no solasoliciting. . Why? They are easy, he says. Among the top closers, this man, Jake Dahl. He is considered so good, he has taught training classes for several companies. One of them caught on this tape obtained by "20/20." Using a trainee as a straight man as he acts out how to first get in the door. Starting out with a lie who he works for. And this man used to work with Hahl. They can trick you out and change your mind. He is coming forward on "20/20" after a falling out. To reveal what he calls the hard sale tactics by the sales people who give the industry a bad name stlanchts adp. I knock here for sure. Start with homes that have alarm systems by big companies like ADT. If it's older sign, it's a juicy sign. To find out when the system was with installed and pretend to be from ADT or GE. It's a target there. It's called the take over for swimp over. I saw you using one of our systems from ADT. Reporter: As taught by this master salesman, the customer is led to believe it's just an upgrade of an existing ADT system with new monitoring equipment. Wait, so I'm switching companies, right? It's just a monitoring company. Reporter: No. In fact, it would be an entirely new company with a five year contract. I'll do it for free. Reporter: Not free at all. The total cost could be about $3,000 over five years. ADT is suing the company. But atd, the biggest of the home security systems, says thousands have been stolen away. This is the worst we have seen this year. Lying and swindling people into switching, unknowingly switching their monitoring company. Reporter: ADT's general counsel David bleisch says his company too uses door to door sales people. But he is going after those who lie and cheat. He paid Ben Kirk $2,500 for this video. It was a real eye-opener when I saw it. That man from Florida. He said, we are upgrading the key pads. And it sounded like he was ADT. Reporter: He says when he realized he was signing a five-year contract, it was not ADT and he didn't raise the issue for several weeks. It felt like I had been had. They said there was no effort toment mislead him. And vision settled for more than $2 million and blamed any problems on rogue sales people. When we showed up, the bosses and the sales people accuse offed on deception was nowhere to be found. But there was a sign that it was accredited by the better business the bureau. And the companies that have "D" or "F" grades. You should be honest, you are going to people's door. And in big city us, any trick of the trade to get in the door is the use of scare tactics. Due to an increase in burglaries in the area, ADT will be giving you a free home security system. It sounded like a good offer. But it wasn't. That is not ADT. That is not the ADT district sign. And the people doing it picked the wrong home to target. The home of our consumer reporter E the ABC news fixer Stephanie Zimmerman and we set up hidden cam troops catch it on tape. There is one hidden ahead and one in a shopping back and one is leer in a water bottle. Once the ADT sales person arrived, Robert hall. He announced he is not from ADT. So what about the phone calls saying ADT does womaning to the door. He said that call was someone else. ADT will be giving you a free ADT home security alarm system. Are you guys ADT? No I'm not ADT. Then he said he can provide an ADT system if he wanted. If you want that, question do that for you. ADT says he is not a dealer could not offer the system. How you doing? Brian Ross, ABC news, "20/20." We are doinging a story about people like yourself. This woman was contacted on behalf of ADT. You would V just told her you can an ADT system. Would you please allow me to answer the question? Are you an ADT dealer? Can I finish what I'm saying. Can I get a drink of water. I'm having a little trouble speaking. Turns that he owns his own home security. Choice home protection. He says he has a friend who is an ADT dealer, giving Zimmerman's name. Sharing leads. It's possible from leads to be transferred from one company to another. It's pretty standard. ADT says that is not supposed to happen and fired the dealer who shared the names from pro vided by hall. Hall says he is a victim of acts of others. Whoever is responsible for getting him in the door, the tackics did Flot work on this day.
