Bombs under the porch!

[TiltonBB]

A man has been accused of putting three gun powder-filled pipe bombs under his neighbor’s porch, police New Hampshire said.

Police in Laconia said they were called to a woman’s home on Sunday. She gave an officer a package wrapped in plastic and packing tape, and showed a video of her neighbor putting something under her porch, according to a police affidavit released Monday.

I wish I could say I am surprised. Unfortunately, things like this are happening way too much.

The doorbell cameras are catching a lot of crimes.

These days you can assume you are being filmed almost everywhere you go. Some people get upset about it but if it helps catch and successfully prosecute criminals I am not sure it is all that bad.

Interesting fact: The man who invented the doorbell camera in 2013, Jamie Siminoff, took it on Shark Tank. They weren't interested. Oops! He later sold the company to Amazon for $1 Billion. I would call that a nice score for Jamie.

I thought that the Home of the Future in Disneyland had a video doorbell?
I see a lot of ideas that have been around for decades just be a little too before their time.

AT&T didn't see any future in mobile phones way back in the beginning of cell technology. They were a late entry

In 1980, McKinsey & Company was commissioned by AT&T (whose Bell Labs had invented cellular telephony) to forecast cell phone penetration in the U.S. by 2000. The consultant’s prediction, 900,000 subscribers, was less than 1% of the actual figure, 109 Million. Based on this legendary mistake, AT&T decided there was not much future to these toys. A decade later ... AT&T had to acquire McCaw Cellular for $12.6 Billion.
