Nokia GPS Phones to Fight the Traffic Plague [Concepts]

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Nokia has developed software that allows data to be received from GPS enabled handsets, which is then compiled and interpreted into the patterns of traffic flow, which is similar to what kinda GPS Dash units offer. However, these plans are currently under concept, with a little demonstration taking place as a joint venture between Nokia, California Center for Innovative Transportation (CCIT), CalTrans, Berkeley and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

data sent back to each car connected test your speed and location via a mobile phone on board N95, this information was sent to a central monitoring station, which in turn relayed the Travel alerts. Nokia is quick to point out that its technology is an economic benefit on similar systems, notably because it is based solely on people and the technology itself. Given the soon-to-be ubiquitous nature of GPS-enabled mobile phones, would have to agree with the observation of Nokia. Rest ills aside their privacy, the information will be sent completely anonymous.

Yahoo! not so hot for Microsoft’s initial bid, plans to reject

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

 We are quite sure we have not heard the last of this Microsoft offer buying Yahoo! - or Google Plans intervention — but seems to have a round Yahoo! Saying “No, thanks” to Microsoft for $ 44.6 million offer to acquire. Some of the number crunchers with Yahoo! I feel like the number is too low a valuation, while others want to get tied up with Google to improve the search for revenue - some seem to think some may have antitrust implications. Pah, “defence for the consequences.” At least Microsoft remembers when men were men and monopolies are monopolies. [Thanks to everyone who sent in this]

Phraze-It Sign Language Text Messaging is a Bad, Bad Idea [Cellphones]

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

 What is easier than hitting a button? I will tell you what! Flailing around fingers! Phraze-Es una sola mano patentado sistema de mensajería de texto que, en la medida de lo que podemos decir, es un paso atrás de la ASL modo alfabético y menos conveniente que los sistemas existentes. Designed for use with electronic gloves, we can ensure that, without a doubt, that this gesture system will never be approved by the masses. So here is how it works (remember, this is the only opportunity they never have to find out):

Basically, users memorize five initial gestures. Those are the vowels. So far, so good. Who does not remember five gestures?

But consonant elusive. The good news is that users can reuse the first five gestures and just add one more. But the bad news is that you have to count the number of letters from her is a consonant away from the base of the five vowels.

So gesture to the “j” gesture has the theme of the first “i” and then “. For gesture “is” the subject sign “i” then “or” after “four”. Now imagine the word “encyclopedia”. You must never consenant map back to his voice, and then sign the voice to return to the consonant.

Is your head spinning? So is ours. This is way too much information for a Sunday hangover. Needless to say, someone has invented a system even worse than numeric pad based on text messaging. Congrats.
