Facebook Home disappoints

Facebook Home now available for almost any Android device
Despite an early leak on Monday, once again the internet lit-up with chatter about the release of Facebook Home in the Google Play store. All good and well if you find yourself in the right place with the right phone, but what about everyone else? Unsurprisingly, the digital door staff (read, Facebook's hardware restrictions) have already been dispatched, meaning almost any Android device can download and install the social software.
The Facebook Phone Software Is Available Now For Select Android Phones
Facebook Home is currently available right here in Google Play.
The app aims to make Facebook the focal point of your phone, taking over your homescreen and providing you with a feed of your friends' posts, a means to chat with friends, and keep your notifications in a central spot...

Facebook Home: Who Wins & Who Loses
Facebook did not just launch a "Facebook Phone" last week, as was expected. Instead, along with the HTC First, it offered up Home, a "family of apps" that is neither a phone nor a smartphone operating system - but which may ultimately have a far greater impact on the mobile industry than either one of those things.
Facebook Home overlays a visually appealing "Cover Feed" onto the Android smartphone home screen. The Facebook member's Newsfeed, pictures, texts, select notifications and "Chat Heads" of their friends are all displayed. If the Facebook Home user is inside another app - any other app - and receives a Facebook Message from a friend, for example, a "Chat Head" - the friend's face and message - pops up on the phone screen. While not a true operating system, Home becomes the de facto user experience.
Facebook Home Review: Surrender Yourself Unto Zuck
Facebook Home isn't a Facebook Phone, nor is it really "a bunch of apps," or a new operating system. It's an admission: Facebook means a lot to me, and is an interesting view of my life—and I want to look at it all the time, everywhere I go. If that sounds like you, Home is where your heart should be. If not, your phone will become something you hate.
Facebook Home doesn't do much because it's designed to not do very much. When you tap most Android phones to life, you trigger the information equivalent of someone shouting directly into your face, replete with spit flecks. Depending on your setup, you'll see a clock, clouds, weather, emails, news, IMs—a frothing info stew. And that's the point! Android lets you jam as much as you want into it.

Facebook Home Leaks Online — But Don't Download It Yet

The beta software works with Google's Nexus 4 smartphone and Nexus 7 tablet, but eager early adopters have experienced some issues with the download.

Affordable, easy-to-install IP cameras for home security
Thanks to the numerous home improvement stores scattered across the country – not to mention the various do-it-yourself programs on TV – it has never been easier for the homeowner to fix up the house without seeking professional help. And, thanks to ever-advancing consumer tech, even projects that once involved calling in for help, can now be self-installed with nothing more than a screwdriver or sticky-tape. One such project is home security. While completely wiring a home with motion detectors, alarms and keypads still remains a task best left to an alarm company, homeowners can now add some home protection by setting up one of the number of affordable “plug-and-play” consumer-based security camera solutions to hit the market. The beauty of these new security cams is that they are lighter on the wallet, a snap to set up, and much easier to use.
These types of digital video cameras, called Internet Protocol (IP) cameras, utilize computer networking to transmit image data. IP cameras can also connect to the Web for remote control and viewing. Some record footage onto flash or external storage, while others save images in the cloud. There are sophisticated IP cameras designed for corporate and government buildings, and there are simplified versions for the home.
IP cameras for the home aren’t new, but in the past they have been complicated devices, requiring networking expertise to set up and operate. Looking like regular ordinary webcams, the latest IP-based cameras feature wireless operation that limits wiring and installation time. And, since they are small in size, they can be placed almost anywhere providing for discrete monitoring of your home and family. They also come with monitoring and management software that lets you trigger alarms and e-mail alerts when a security breach is broken. And, you can log into them when you’re away from home for remote control and viewing via a mobile device like an iPhone.
