Cellphone or freedom?







Cellphone or freedom?

Cellphone or freedom? 01/22/2004 02:12 AM

Buying prostitutes. Nicholas Kristof (of the NY Times; reg. req.) bought the freedom of two young Cambodian prostitutes in order to return them to their villages... but it wasn't as simple as you might think. It's easy to be cynical (yes, he's using it as grist for columns; yes, it's a drop in the bucket), but isn't it better than doing nothing? Anyway, it's a fascinatingly messy story. (He discusses why he picked these particular girls, and addresses some of the moral issues, her e—scroll down to January 20.)

Cellphone tips


Cellphone tips 12/08/2003 11:39 AM

I have a cellphone with Cingular, and opted to get the extra line for 9.99 a month (a good deal). What I learned is this (also true with Verizon): if you get a phone or an extra line, the first year, you cannot cancel the contract. Well, you can, but it costs more to cancel than to keep it open. In this case, they charge 200$ to cancel the contract, versus $80 to keep it open 8 more months, after which cancelling is free.

By the way, if you're still with Verizon, consider Cingular. They seem distinctly less evil, for now.


Coke Via Cellphone


Coke Via Cellphone 08/19/2004 07:12 PM

coca_cola.jpg imageSo to encourage Japanese people to actually spend 120 yen (about $1.09) on a single can of soda, Coca-Cola today announced the "Cmode 2" vending machine, which allows customers with cellular phones to purchase drinks "cashlessly" one of three ways - two-dimensional barcodes, infrared, and the FeliCa contactless IC system. Though cashless "Cmode" vending machines have been in various places throughout Japan since April of 2002, these are the first vending machines to support contactless IC as a method of transfer.

With drink names like "Qoo," "SCORPION," and "Lovebody," who could resist?

Cellphone jammer 11/15/2003 01:14 PM
The SH066P Personal Cell Phone Jammer is disguised as a phone, has an effective radius of 10-15 yards, and comes in US and worldwide frequency-flavors. They're illegal to use in most places, but not illegal to possess, build or sell. I'm as bugged by mobile abuse as the next person, but using one of these strikes me as a mcuh greater breach of the social contract than talking too loud or subjecting your coachmates to the default Nokia ring.

I was recently overseas and had my GSM T-Mobile phone with me. I figured I would run out get a pre-paid sim card and have local cell service while in the country I was in. To my surprise I could not get the SIM card to work in the phone. I was a bit pissed. But to my surprise a friend of mine sent me a link to this article and now I have the unlock code to my cell phone and when I am overseas again I will get a local pre-paid SIM card and be in business.

TOMY Pet Cam, PetsMobility Cellphone


TOMY Pet Cam, PetsMobility Cellphone 09/17/2004 10:18 AM

dog_camera.jpg image Keeping with the tradition of bizarre pet-oriented gadgets originating in Japan, Tomy has announced the "Wonderful Shot," a digital camera that is strapped around your dog's neck. The 0.3MP camera can not only be activated by remote controller, timer options provide delays of up to 60 minutes. I could personally think of some pretty perverted applications for a device like this, but I'll just keep those to myself. I'm sure Joel can fill you in if he wants to. However, I await a waterproof model; I wouldn't want Fido to ruin a digital camera by jumping in a pool.
