oct 30 credit and phone privacy
It has been 10 days since you could not use mastercard or visa at Dubai petrol stations.
The general feeling is that things are ok.
Many people are adapting.
Some are buying less and saving more, imagine.
During the second hour we spoke about a technology being tested by MOTOROLA to allow your phone to send you more specific ads based on what you are talking about and your location.
29-Oct-07
Motorola has developed a system that will monitor phone calls and text messages and will pass the information to advertisers. The technology would enable brands to target people based on their location and plans for the day.
The US handset manufacturer stresses that it is only testing the technology and that it would only ever use it with the consent of consumers – possibly in return for cheaper calls. But the news has already sparked "deep concern" among privacy groups.
Under Motorola's plans, software would be installed on mobile phones that would allow it to search for related words in text messages. If words such as "food" or "hungry" were detected, for example, ads for restaurants in the area could be sent to the user. The technology is currently based around searching text messages but could also be applied to voice calls.
Motorola's chief marketing officer Kenneth Keller says: "We have a technology which allows us to search, to understand not only where that person might be but also what their interests might be. You figure out if the person is going out for dinner or shopping and trying to find a particular retail outlet, for example."

tv on the mobile phone.
Yet another form of distraction.
Yet another obstacle to communicating with friends and family FACE-TO-FACE.
That being said the idea of film, tv, video on the mobile opens a new door to innovation!
What kinds of video products might you create for the mobile phone?

children and mobile phones
Has technology made the phone like clothing, a must?
The general feeling of the callers was that the mobile is a part of our life and it is up to the parent to educate the child about how to use it properly!
False sense of security?
The way it is going?
Another distraction?
They are out there and we have to deal with them! id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">pan>BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">
