Choose a number at random from scientific data. Think it's just as likely that it will start with a 9 as a 1? In many cases, you'd be wrong. The ages of volcanic calderas are one of those cases. Law-abiding citizens everywhere will be happy to know our planet also obeys Benford's Law, with the duration and size of volcanic eruptions showing the same sort of pattern.

Neuroscience offers the prospect of an incontrovertible record of the intentions behind everything we do, so jury trials may eventually be deemed unnecessary. But no chip implanted? Guilty as charged!
No implant? No job offers, no entry to premises, including shops and (gated) streets. No insurance, no rights, no identity. Not enough memory in a chip to store all those endless petabytes of neuroscan data? No problem, our brains and their motivational states will always be online, at CerebroStreamTube Live! We can even share our mental condition on psychosocial media such as CortexBook™ or our free-floating anxieties can be nanoblogged in real-time, once every 140 semantic samples, on Twititititer™.

Researchers at MIT developed an algorithm that analyzes several several parameters, including a vehicle’s deceleration, its distance from a traffic light and when the light turns red. It can capture a vehicle’s motion in 3-D in less than five milliseconds, according to MIT News. Using this data, it is able to determine which cars are driven by potential violators, those likely to run a red light, and which cars were obeying the law.
