Citizens are actively interacting with their surroundings, especially through social media. Not only do shared posts give important information about what is happening (from the users' perspective), but also the metadata linked to these posts offer relevant data, such as the GPS-location in Location-based Social Networks (LBSNs). In this paper we introduce a global analysis of the geo-tagged posts in social media which supports (i) the detection of unexpected behavior in the city and (ii) the analysis of the posts to infer what is happening. The former is obtained by applying density-based clustering techniques, whereas the latter is consequence of applying natural language processing. We have applied our methodology to a dataset obtained from Instagram activity in New York City for seven months obtaining promising results. The developed algorithms require very low resources, being able to analyze millions of data-points in commodity hardware in less than one hour without applying complex parallelization techniques. Furthermore, the solution can be easily adapted to other geo-tagged data sources without extra effort. Nowadays, users are the main source of alternative sensor information in a city, although this huge source of information is often overlooked. Being ubiquitously connected to the Internet with their mobile phones, they intensively use services which promote user generated content such us Online Social Networks (OSNs), one of the most massively alternatives employed. Content in OSNs is a combination of text/images (e.g. a user post, a reply to other users posts, etc.) and meta-data information (number of likes, stars of user posts, number of posts made by the user, GPS-location, etc.).

Each July, some 130,000 fans from around the world descend on the San Diego Convention Center for four days of vendor exhibitions, celebrity appearances, sneak previews of new movies, cosplay, and just general all-around geeking out. Founded in 1970, Comic-Comic International has grown into one of the world's largest such festivals--a must-attend event for lovers of superheroes, science fiction, and fantasy. For photographer Angie Smith, attending Comic-Con for the first time, the spectacle felt overwhelming, yet welcoming. "There's a real community energy--you feel like you can walk up and talk to anyone," she says. "People were there for a lot of different reasons, but the main one was to meet other people, network with other people. Everyone talked about the connections they'd made in previous years, people they keep in touch with and see every year when they come back."

Then you probably weren't at Pokémon Go Fest. Of course, even if you stayed home, there were still plenty of previews to check out from Comic-Con, and a surprise Siri'movie.' Once you've caught up on all the news, keep an eye out this afternoon for the Google/Alphabet earnings report just after 4PM ET. Thousands of sensitive Wells-Fargo leaked, but not in the way you think. The bank wasn't hacked, and its computers didn't go on the fritz: It just inadvertently sent 1.4GB of files to a former financial adviser who'd subpoenaed the company as part of a lawsuit against one of its current employees.

Showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy said they parsed out their scripts incrementally during the first season so the actors wouldn't know too much about the story line or their characters' trajectories. Joy said she has been inspired by literature in creating the "Westworld" story. Nolan said he's been inspired by video games.

Steve Wozniak is one half of Silicon Valley's most prototypical founder's myth. But whereas Steve Jobs went on to define what it meant to be a modern founder--the turtleneck uniform, the keynote showmanship, the scorn for formal education and steamrolling managerial style--Woz just became a wealthier version of his former self. That is, a gigantic nerd. In case you clicked this article out of blind curiosity, here's a quick recap on Woz. He invented Apple's first two computers.

Over the weekend at the D23 Expo, Disney announced that it planned to create two new 14-acre "Star Wars" theme lands as part of its Disneyland and Disney World parks. The news, predictably, met with approval from the ranks of "Star Wars" supporters at the event. But the news of Disney's new theme parks has a far larger significance: it shows the extent to which science fiction is eating the world. And that's good news -- science fiction's growing mind share of the nation's youth is creating a stable base of future innovators. Think about it -- the generation that grew up on the Disney animation classics of the post-War era -- "Alice in Wonderland" (1951), "Peter Pan" (1953), and "Sleeping Beauty" (1959) -- has been replaced by a generation that grew up with "Star Wars" and all the other classic science fiction films of the 1970s and early 1980s.

In his apartment on March 17, 1970, Shel Dorf displays some posters to be shown at a convention in the U.S. Grant Hotel. The first gathering -- called San Diego's Golden State Comic-Minicon -- was put together by a group of comics, movie and science fiction fans including Shel Dorf, Ken Krueger and Richard Alf. This one-day convention was staged to raise funds and interests for a larger convention. Author Ray Bradbury bought a few items from the dealers at the San Diego Golden State Comics Convention in the U.S. Grant Hotel on Aug. 1, 1970. "I got a few issues of Mad magazine," he said. Called San Diego's Golden State Comic-Con, this was the first full-fledged convention in San Diego with a focus on comic art, film and science fiction. The event included 25 booths and three speakers: comic artist Jack Kirby and authors Ray Bradbury and A.E. van Vogt. Kirk Alyn, left, who portrayed Superman in film serials, signs an autograph for Forrest J Ackerman, editor of Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine.

In a galaxy known as New York, in a drab age before Trekkies and light sabers, there lived a curious boy who liked comic books, time travel and Elvis. He read Isaac Asimov and tuned in to John Zacherle, this Phantom of the Opera-type guy with scraggly hair and a creepy laugh who introduced horror movies on Channel 9, which, if you were a kid at the time, was something close to splendid. This boy, let's call him Jeffrey Walker, who incidentally would later watch "2001: A Space Odyssey" 29 times, tended toward the imaginative. His mother was a beauty queen, his father a clothier. Walker grew up to be many things, including an actor who played poker with Jesus Christ, shot a nude scene with Al Pacino and was hugged by Natalie Wood.
