[size=83]The world's largest earthquake detection network is pocket sized

Citizens around the world now have the opportunity to be part of one of the newest scientific developments in earthquake research using only their smart phones.

Since its launch in February last year, the University of California Berkeley’s MyShake application has garnered close to 250,000 downloads. It has made great strides in collecting earthquake data from across the planet.

“It truly is global,” Berkeley Seismological Laboratory Director Richard Allen said. “This is by far the largest, global seismic network there is.”

LOL, maybe they could also do a similar app for volcano erruptions… phones already have inner temperature detector. Oh wait… that might be a problem for Galaxy Note 7 owners :smiley:

Apparently there are still thousands of Galaxy Note 7 owners out there who still won’t give them up :?

Back to our regular programming: Looks like MyShake is pretty smart system :slight_smile:

They do blow up unexpectedly like volcanos… lol

On a side note… I had heard Samsung was going to send out an update that would kill the Note 7 to all of those that wont return theres.
