I'm the developer of PressureNet, open source Android project to crowdsource atmospheric pressure data using the now-prevalent barometers in smartphones and tablets. The vision is that with so many new connected sensors, we should be able to build a dramatically more accurate weather forecast. The PressureNet app is neat, but the really cool thing is the SDK library project that makes it easy for all app developers to contribute to crowdsourcing effort.
We're aiming for 1 BILLION internet-connected barometers contributing live atmospheric pressure data to weather networks. We currently have 400,000 devices connected, and those are sending about 130M measurements per month to scientists for analysis.
Do you want to contribute? I envision a system where app developers include this SDK in your apps to send us pressure data, we will process and analyze the data to pump it through new weather models. These models will produce accurate weather forecasts, which will we sell - and perhaps be able to distribute profit back to contributing partners. http://pressurenet.io/developers/

Korea's Addiction to Mobile Devices
- With mobile devices such as smart-phones and tablets coming into wider use, Korea's wireless traffic has been surging at an alarming rate. The mobile data traffic grew from 38,124 TB in July 2012 to 105,182 TB in July 2014, posting a growth rate of 175.89%. The total annual traffic was 424,763 TB in 2012 and 761,900 in 2013.
US Long-Term Treasury Yields on the Fall
- Recently, US long-term treasury yields have been declining at a noticeable rate. The main reasons behind this are: 1) US assets are back in the spotlight due to recent concerns over deflation in the Euro-zone, and 2) banking regulators in the US are demanding banks to hold more low-risk assets.

Anyone knows about the indoor location technology in our mobile phones?

as we rely even more on our smartphone for everyday life, the physical limitations of GPS, which doesn't work in indoor environments or between tall buildings in dense urban areas, are becoming a real challenge for the next generation of LBS(location based Services) applications. Simply put, for GPS to work, it requires a clear view of the sky, where a receiver has an unobstructed line of sight to satellites, meaning that all the mobile location-based apps, like navigation for example, won't work indoors, inside airports, malls, museums, subways, etc., which is where we actually need them the most, as we spend a majority of our time indoor. It also happens that 80% of smartphone usage is done inside buildings, making an even stronger case for bringing location technologies indoor.
• Installations of indoor location services became of excellent quality, available from numerous providers on the market today
• Indoor location apps are now mainstream for iPhone and Android devices, covering already about 80% of the smartphone market
• Because of the rapid market penetration and adoption of smartphones, indoor location services no longer require the use of a specific and separate mobile device, even in professional environments
• Low cost and easy to implement technologies are now widely available, making it easier for all sorts of venues, like shopping centres, airports, rail stations, subways or museums to integrate indoor location technology in their respective mobile apps and bring real added value to customers
• Efficient tools and open software development kits (SDK) allow for any application developers to deploy themselves indoor location services, in their venue or their customers
• The fusion of multiple technologies, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy and GPS, along with specific ones already integrated in smartphones (accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, and pressure sensor acting as an altimeter) allowed to overcome the main technical barriers that prevented indoor location to be successful in the market. Today, it's finally possible to address 100% of an indoor venue, at a low cost and independently of their Wi-Fi network density
• Finally, the performance reached by indoor location technologies has now surpassed GPS for the outdoors. So much that indoor location today is more accurate than outdoor positioning, with an average accuracy of a few square feet compared to several tens of square feet for GPS.
Hope this is enough for you to get the point.

You gave very useful information and the way of description was also good. I want to ask that how can we implement this technology in our daily life. Is there any application for this ??

No, till now there's no app developed on public level & in future also I don't think it will coming soon. Though there are various developers & business firms providing this facility at expensive cost. Apps are available but they are useless till you have the right equipments & functions in your Mobile to operate & that can only be done by paying to a developer for the service they provide.
For eg:
Estimote Indoor
Location is currently only available for iOS and
uses complex data science enabled by your
iPhone to approximate the physical dimensions of
your venue, the relative distance you move, and
your proximity to various beacons nearby.
@¥ü$h
Yes, I heard about the iBeacon, available in Apple products that operates on iOS7 or iOS8. We can trace Apple devices by this application.
