Home security systems can be costly, complicated and oftentimes require time-consuming installation. A new system seeks to get rid of these inconveniences by letting users wirelessly monitor their homes.

With the Scout system, users can watch over their home for free from a smartphone, tablet or computer via Wi-Fi, or pay for professional monitoring.

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" seems to be the motto of a flying robot that picks itself back up after crashing into surrounding objects.

Called the AirBurr, the bot is equipped with a unique "Active Recovery System," enabling it to withstand collisions, relaunch and continue flying.

Researchers at EPFL, a Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, were inspired to create the AirBurr after observing the way insects move.

"Even though they manage to avoid most obstacles, they still manage to fly into windows and fly into walls -- yet it's okay; they don't break," said project leader Adam Klaptocz. "They fall to the ground, they get back up again and they keep flying."…

Almost everyone in the U.S. has come to know and love (or hate) the "Harlem Shake" meme as a mostly benign, viral YouTube craze. But in Egypt and Tunisia, it's taken on another meaning entirely: It's an act of political protest.

About 400 young men did the "Harlem Shake" while chanting for the departure of Islamist Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi outside the Muslim Brotherhood's main office in the Egyptian capital of Cairo Thursday night. Those inside the building decided to shut the office down and turn off the lights, according to the Associated Press, which called the event a "light-hearted expression" of political dissidence in a country that's been rocked by turmoil in recent years.…

Evernote implemented a service-wide password reset Saturday after the company discovered suspicious activity on its network.

The note-taking service issued a statement on its site, saying that no stored user content or financial data was changed or lost, but that hackers gained personal information including usernames, passwords and email addresses.

Though they were accessed, passwords stolen in the breach are protected by one-way encryption. The encryption makes it more difficult for hackers to crack the content, but Evernote users are still vulnerable.

Users will be prompted to change their passwords the next time they log in, and the change affects all other Evernote apps. Th…

The struggles a private cargo capsule faced in orbit Friday reinforce the notion that spaceflight remains a challenging proposition, experts say.

The unmanned SpaceX Dragon spacecraft launched smoothly atop a Falcon 9 rocket Friday (March 1), but only one of the capsule's four thruster "pods" activated after it reached orbit. After several hours of scrambling to identify the glitch, SpaceX engineers turned the situation around, fixing the problem and bringing all four pods online for an engine burn that set Dragon back on course for the International Space Station.

"Orbit raising burn successful. Dragon back on track," SpaceX founder and CEO Musk wrote in a Twitter post Friday.

There's nothing like family bonding. And what better way to spend quality time than invading each other's personal space in a trapped elevator?

Modern Family cast members Julie Bowen and Eric Stonestreet tweeted a picture of themselves and Jesse Tyler Ferguson stuck in a Kansas City service elevator for nearly an hour on Friday night.

Stonestreet, who plays bubbly, stay-at-home dad Cameron on the show, looked less than thrilled to be trapped with co-stars and other elevator riders. However, he tweeted that he handled the situation better than he imagined.

Yahoo Responds to Controversy Over Work-at-Home Ban

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's decision to ban the work-at-home option for the company's employees was met with intense criticism from many online communities. Readers Jake Holloway and Sean Hoover argued that the policy wasn't actually intended to make the workers more productive, but rather was meant to send a message.

This week at Mashable, our readers had a lot to say about Yahoo's response to the company's controversial ban on working from home.

Since Marissa Mayer became CEO of Yahoo in July of 2012, she's already made moves such as the development of a mobile strategy, the acquisition of mobile app Stamped and free food at meetings. The working from home ban is arguably the biggest change yet.

We asked our readers, "Do You Value Working From Home?" and the responses were widespread. While the majority strongly believe the option to work at home should not be eliminated, many backed Mayer's decision, siting year-long-losses as a good reason to shake things up.
