Fingbox | Indiegogo
One of my favorite network scanning tools on iOS is Fing. Today they enter the world of hardware as they blow past their Indiegogo goal by 326%. Fing has developed a simple device aimed to secure and troubleshoot your home network. The idea is it would be able to sense anything out of the ordinary and report back. Such things as new devices on your network changes in your internet performance, or simply find out who’s home.
This is a great idea if the price is right. Most (being overly generous) upper-end routers have similar features, hover Fing always did a clean nice job.

GHOST IN THE SHELL - Official Trailer | YouTube
I was a big fan of the original and I'm looking forward to the live action remake of Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell. There is some controversy surrounding the casting of Scarlett Johansson as “The Major” but I think she will be a great fit for the role. For those who don’t know the premise of the movie. The Major is a Cyborg counter-cyberterrorist field commander and her task force “Section 9” take down cyber criminals and hackers.
