NYT: SMS as warning system for future
disasters 01/01/2005 12:50 PM
Xeni Jardin: Another really solid piece from New York Times reporter John Schwartz about technology's role in the tsunami disaster. Here, questions about a text-message emergency warning system, and an interview with "Sanjaya," aka "Morquendi," whose SMSes from Sri Lanka were linked and excerpted here on BoingBoing earlier this week ( Link):

When the tsunami hit Sri Lanka, Sanjaya Senanayake found he could not make calls on his cellphone or regular land line at first - but he could send and receive text messages from his cellphone. Mr. Senanayake, a 23-year-old television producer, has spent the last few days reporting on the disaster, frantically searching for friends and posting his experiences to the networked world through a [re dacted] (desimediabitch.blogspot.com) - often via text messages relayed by a friend in Mumbai, India, formerly known as Bombay. "It's a very easy, instant way to get the message across," he said in a cellphone interview.

Experts say that thousands of deaths might have been avoided if warning systems had been in place to alert the people around the rim of the Indian Ocean of the tsunami. No such system exists there now, although the United States has such a system in place for countries of the Pacific basin. Those who design and use the wireless technology known as Short Message Service, currently used for chatter and advertisements, say it could be used to jumpstart governments' warning networks.

"This tragedy is going to put this more to the forefront," said Greg Wilfahrt, cofounder of SMS.ac, a company that sells text message services in more than 170 countries. The technology, though used most avidly in the United States by teenagers, is wildly popular worldwide and has accompanied the international boom in cellphone use. Even in parts of the developing world, cellphones are everywhere: almost half of the Malaysian population uses them, according to a survey released this month.

"The way they use the cellphones over there, it makes us look like amateurs," said Steve O'Rourke, a director of the Asia Pacific Research Group, which has studied cellphone use. Cellphone use has not spread quite as widely in many of those nations as it has in the developed world, of course. But getting cellphones to people living in remote, impoverished areas has been a major focus of economic development efforts. Even a few phones might do the trick in the face of an impending disaster, Mr. Senanayake said. The message need only reach "one person in every locality who has a phone," he said, and that person can spread the word.

SMSes recovered from SIM in murder trial

SMSes recovered from SIM in murder trial 05/19/2004 01:27 AM
A Swedish cult-leader implicated in serial murders is in trouble because of the damning, deleted SMSes recovered off his mobile-phone's SIM.

The case has been creating headlines for months in the Scandinavian media and the latest thrilling development is that computer forensic company Ibas has been able to recover 13 of the messages from the SIM card in the nanny's mobile. Here's a quick translation of some of the messages from the minister (just like the Bible they can be interpreted in any old way):

* 5 December 2003 04:53. You need to make a decision and not wither. Find a safe solution. You prove your love by liberating him. His limit is soon reached.

* New Years Eve 2003 15:21. It's not your fault, there is still time. For his sake and because of his message to you it will not be too late. Finish it now!
