Tax Repeal |
The Obama administration on Tuesday said it will
back repealing a hard-to-enforce tax on personal use
of work cellphones, appeasing the business community,
phone makers and users.
A 1989 law requires companies seeking to deduct worker
cellphones as an expense to track personal use with
painstaking documentation of minutes. The government,
in a notice last week sought public comment on making
compliance easier, but now says the law should be
scrapped altogether.

While Texting |

driving is dangerous, but admit doing so anyway, a
poll showed Tuesday.

cellular phone admitted that they use their mobile
while driving, even though more than eight in 10 said
they thought that doing so was dangerous, the Harris
Interactive survey of 2,681 adults showed.

06/15/2009 Pandemics
Limited By Cell Phones |
A few months from now, a highly contagious disease
will spread through a Japanese elementary school.
The epidemic will start with several unwitting children,
who will infect others as they attend classes and
wander the halls.
If nothing is done, it will quickly gain momentum
and rip through the student body, then jump to parents
and others in the community. But officials will attempt
to stymie the disease and save the school —
using mobile phones.

GPS for Flights |
Get lost in the woods and a cell phone in your pocket
can help camping buddies find you. Drive into a ditch
and GPS in your car lets emergency crews pinpoint
the crash site. But when a transcontinental flight
is above the middle of the ocean, no one on the ground
can see exactly where it is — in the
air, or worse, in the water.
The disappearance of Air France Flight 477 and its
228 passengers over the Atlantic Ocean this week has
critics of radar-based air traffic control calling
on the U.S. and other countries to hasten the move
to GPS-based networks that promise to precisely track
all planes. Current radars are obsolete more than
200 miles from land.

adding that the company will push greener features

Can Send Text Messages |
Technology that lets plants send text alerts when
they are running dry may someday reduce overwatering,
says a Discovery Channel report. A chip about the
size of a clip-on earring can be attached to a plant
leaf and linked to regular cell-phone networks, sending
a text message when it is time to irrigate. Watering
only when necessary could save water and energy, especially
in the arid West. A company called AgriHouse is marketing
the chip, which is based on technology developed by
NASA for long space trips.

06/02/2009 The Future
of Mobile Phones |
Few companies innovate with the intensity and frequency
of those working in mobile, and todays present is
a future that only a handful of people would have
predicted just a few short years ago. While most of
us happily soak up rampant innovation as mere consumers,
a handful of people in the hallowed corridors of mobile
R&D labs are already working on the next big thing
-- the phones we'll be carrying around in our back
pockets in 2012 and beyond.
Very occasionally we get a glimpse of this future.
Nokia recently went public with their morph concept
phone -- an idea which seems so crazy and off-the-wall
it might actually be possible.
