The end of the house key? Mobile app lets you open your front door using your PHONE (and you don't even need to take it out of your pocket)
A mobile phone app may soon spell the end of traditional door keys. The Kwikset Kevo app for iPhone and iPad securely stores electronic keys for multiple door locks on a smartphone or tablet. When a user approaches a saved location, such as an office or a house, the phone can wirelessly unlock the door using Bluetooth meaning users only have to touch a lock to open a door and don't even need to remove the device from their pocket.
The incredible deep -sea glow worm called the 'Unicorn of the Sea' that can grow up to 100ft
Hundreds of people bound for London were left stranded for almost six hours yesterday after their train broke down. Passengers on the 'horrific' 11am First Great Western train from Penzance to London Paddington said they were 'treated like cattle' because there was not enough food, water or seats. The train arrived at Paddington at around 10.15pm - five hours and 40 minutes after its expected arrival time. This meant that some passengers were on the train for more than 11 hours in total.
Divers in Australia have captured rare images of the Pyrostremma spinosum, or pyrosome, sea creature off the coast of Tasmania. It is so rare it has been dubbed the 'Unicorn of the Sea' and can grow up to 30 metres long - the equivalent of two double-decker buses laid end-to-end. Its hollow, translucent, cylindrical body is made up of thousands of tiny clones called zooids that pull water through its tubes and feed on plankton before pushing the filtered water back out.
Doctor Who fans in ageism row as they dub Peter Capaldi
Peter Capaldi was favourite to win with punters, but others were not so enthralled by the decision. His official unveiling as the new Doctor Who during a live programme on BBC1 led many online to dub the seasoned actor 'too old' for the role. The 55-year-old actor is the same age as first Doctor William Hartnell was when he made his debut in the role in 1963. One Twitter user wrote: 'One of sons just said of Peter Capaldi: "Is that the new Doctor? He's old, he'll die quicker than the 11th Doctor"'. Capaldi, the bullying Malcolm Tucker in political satire The Thick Of It, was unveiled on Sunday night as the 12th actor to play the lead role in Doctor Who.
