cellphone

creepy.

This is pretty cool. I am going to give this a try the next time I fly Continental, although I will carry a printed boarding pass as backup.

Quoted: Their [Continental's] boarding pass is an image of an encrypted bar code displayed on the phone’s screen, which can be scanned by gate agents and security personnel.

Quoted: No object has had as dramatic an impact on our lives in the past decade as the cellphone. Only the computer comes close. But more of us use a cellphone, and our relationship with it is more intimate. The cellphone is one of the handful of personal objects - like a watch - that we take with us almost everywhere.

So why are they so badly designed? And we're not talking about dodgy network service here, but the phones themselves.

It started with a simple article submitted to Associated Press by Hiroko Tabuchi. Not a big scoop, just a feature about a free downloadable mobile application which can discreetly tell a violator to back off without causing a fuss or disturbance… or else. The story was not only picked up by EVERY major news source from every part of the globe, it was distorted and rewritten to the point of announcing a “new initiative” by Japan to fight an “epidemic” of gropers in the country. Huh?!

Watching the story unfold and reappearing in a different form every half hour during the day, blognation Japan decided to take a look at this “Japanese phenomenon” (which of course NO ONE knows about over here) to learn what the REAL scoop was.

Boing-a-licious.

glad to see that verizon backed off! censoring conversation, text or otherwise is ridiculous!

Quoted: Verizon said it would make its mobile network available for a text-message program by Naral Pro-Choice America.

It looks pants but this baby has everything including GPS with maps.

Quoted: Samsung Electronics Co. has unveiled a new mobile phone that features some of the sleek design and functions of Apple Inc.'s much-hyped iPhone.

Just too much fun with all the Transformer movie hype, nice video with decent effects, how fun would this be for cellphone thief's!
