What Does Crime Look Like in Your Neighborhood? Crime Maps Will Show You

There are a number of questions people ask when looking for a new place to live: What are the schools like? How close is public transportation? Are there grocery stores nearby? But one of the most common concerns is safety. People want to know about the crime rates in cities and neighborhoods.

The real-estate Trulia launched a new product today called Crime Maps that should answer some of these questions. As the name suggests, the new tool lets people view and compare the frequency, types, and history of crimes across various cities in the U.S.

Sponsor

The data for Crime Maps comes from a number of sources, including CrimeReports.com and EveryBlock, which in turn work with numerous news and law enforcement agencies to gather crime data.

Crime Maps users can drill down into the crimes in specific neighborhoods and can easily compare statistics between different locations. The tool generates a heatmap so you can identify and differentiate high-crime and low-crime areas at a glance. Crimes are also broken down by time of day and by type - all helpful as you weigh whether you want to live in a neighborhood that has a propensity towards shootings or vandalism. The tool also lets you add information and advice so you can add your own comments on top of Trulia's data.

"Historically, detailed and easy-to-decipher crime reports haven't been easily accessible to the average citizen, and Trulia aims to bring that data to light at the most important moment - when people are deciding where they should live," says Pete Flint, Trulia's co-founder and CEO.

It makes good business sense for Trulia to be able to add this sort of data to its search offerings as this sort of hyperlocal is increasingly important. However, at launch, Crime Maps are only available in 50 counties.

Facebook Fights Back In Ceglia Case: ?This Lawsuit Is Nothing More Than His Latest Scam?

Facebook has just filed a motion for expedited discovery in its case against Paul Ceglia, the man who is claiming that he holds a major stake in Facebook based on a contract he allegedly signed with Mark Zuckerberg back in 2003. There was plenty of�initial�skepticism around the case (who could possibly forget that they owned a major stake in one of the most successful companies of the decade?), but people starting taking it more seriously when Ceglia landed representation from DLA Piper, and a series of potentially legitimate email exchanges surfaced. Now Facebook is striking back, and it's not mincing its words. The document, embedded below, is a concerted attack on Ceglia's character and criminal history. Facebook is asking the court to grant expedited, targeted discovery that would require Ceglia to produce the original contract between Zuckerberg and Ceglia, as well as original copies of their email exchanges. Facebook also wants access to all of Ceglia's computers. Facebook's argument is that with this evidence (or lack thereof), it can prove that Ceglia's claim is fraudulent, which would render a full discovery process unnecessary.

T-Mobile announces June availability for Samsung Exhibit 4G and Gravity Smart

We've heard rumblings that Samsung's Exhibit 4G would be making its way to T-Mob on June 8, but now the carrier has confirmed that the Gingerbread smartphone will be available sometime in June. The Exhibit will join Samsung's Gravity Smart, both featuring grounded sub-$100 price tags (after $50 rebate) when they hit stores. T-Mob is displaying the Exhibit with violet and black finishes, and says you'll see "theoretical" peak download speeds of 21Mbps on the HSPA + handset. As for the Smart, the carrier's first Android-powered Gravity smartphone will launch with 2.2 Froyo, and includes a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, so you'll be sending Group Texts to 50 of your closest friends with four rows of hardware keys. Both phones include 3 megapixel rear-facing cameras with flashes, while the Exhibit adds a front-facing cam as well, so that myTouch 4G girl may be hawking a new smartphone on your TV later this month.

It Took Six Weeks For The PlayBook To Sync With Mac (RIMM)

RIM has finally updated its BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac, enabling PlayBook owners to sync photos, video, and other files.

We were extremely frustrated that there was no way to do this on the Mac when we first reviewed the PlayBook. If you wanted to get any media on or off the device you had to e-mail it to yourself.

Still, the Desktop Manager update isn't perfect. You can't back up or restore your device like you can with other tablets. Perhaps that will come in the next version.

You can download Desktop Manager here.

Twitter Announces Better Search, Photo Sharing

Twitter has just announced some photo news, as rumors circulating over the Memorial Day holiday weekend hinted it would. The big reveal isn't exactly a new photo-sharing or photo-storage service - Twitter will not be hosting the photos you Tweet now. But that doesn't mean that today's announcement is irrelevant or unimportant.

Today's announcement actually has two part: one dealing with search and one dealing with photos. It also involves two new partners for the company: Firefox and Photobucket.

Sponsor

Twitter says that it's rolling out an updated version of its search today, one that will not just give you "more relevant tweets" and that will show related photos and videos on the results page so you needn't leave the site to view them.

Twitter is partnering with Firefox in these improved search efforts - at least as part of today's announcement. With a new version of the browser, users will be able to type a hashtage or a @username into the Awesome Bar and go directly to the search results page. There's also an add-on that will give this same functionality. This makes Twitter search function much like any other address-bar-based search engine. (Well, except that it bypasses both Google and Chrome, of course.)

Twitter also announced that it has partnered with the photo-sharing and storage company Photobucket, which will be responsible for hosting these tweeted photos. In coming weeks, Twitter says, users will be able to upload a photo and attach it to a Tweet directly from the Twitter.com website. This will also be available via Twitter's mobile apps, and the company is exploring ways to Tweet photos via SMS.

Just as the new photo-sharing service will be unveiled over the coming weeks to users, it appears as though developers will also have to wait for more information about the new "'Tweet-with-photo' API." But as there are a number of companies who've staked their claim on providing just this sort of service - namely Twitpic and YFrog - the future of Twitter photo-sharing still appears cloudy.

Qualcomm unleashes tri-band WiFi and new mobile wireless chipset

Qualcomm might be all juiced up about getting its Snapdragon processor in 250 upcoming devices, but that doesn't mean the company has forgotten its wireless roots. The San Diego-based chip maker announced that its partnership with Wilocity has finally bore fruit in the form of the AR9004TB chipset. This tri-band wireless setup adds 60GHz WiGig to the usual 2.4 and 5GHz dual-band 802.11n formula for "multi-gigabit in-room performance." Though far from finalized, the 802.11ad standard being pushed by the WiGig alliance should be able to hit speeds of 5Gbps -- more than enough to blast several HD video streams around your home. It also packs Bluetooth 4.0 for your less bandwidth intensive (and more battery sensitive) computing needs. Going smaller scale, Qualcomm also unveiled the WCN3660, a wireless chipset to complement its Snapdragon CPU in smartphones and tablets. Inside this sliver of silicon is a dual-band Wi-Fi radio, Bluetooth 4.0, and an FM radio. It also supports Wi-Fi Display (not to be confused with WiDi) for beaming video to a WiFi-enabled TV or monitor. Head on after the break for more PR than you can shake an antenna at.
