yesterday at the kitchen one of the developers was remembering the time before cellular phones. he said — That girl told me “I’ll call you from 7 to 7.30 pm” and that implied that I had to be at home, which was a regular story, and then, if someone else locks the resource, while you’re expecting a call, you could not resist and ask “for how long do you intent to talk?”.
That is amazing. I do not remember anybody to tell me “I’ll call you at this time”, or I do not remember to use the phone more than for a 30 secs to agree on something, or to ask about homework, if I missed the class.
Well, I remember I locked a line for hours to download software or music, or to prepare my first stupid web sites(with first stupid experiments with js and java applets), or to read forums about digital video and sites about dogs, I was passionately interested at that time, and surprisingly my parents did not ask for a line, probably because my mother was happy nobody would call her, and my father was never at home.
I was trying to chat, but my computer’s soft modem would hang up, if I would use more resources than the system could afford, so I preferred to not, but concentrate on “important” (as it seemed that time) things.
p. s. well, no, I could not use web chats - that was heavy, but i’ve used cyberspace.org and hobbiton.org to chat by console icq clients.

my German friend bought at Gyumri, as he sais, “soviet” phone. It’s a cheap Samsung phone intended to be used at the former (unfortunately, future) union republics. that’s why it contains T9 keyboards for those languages, but not for English or German. Thus he has troubles texting fast. (:
What’s interesting, Armenian language name of the interface is written in classical orthography. Հայերէն, not Հայերեն, with է։ (: I didn’t have a chance to see the interface translation. May be it was done by diaspora Armenians, who refused to use Soviet, new orthography.

Discussing about moral & law reasons serve no purpose I think. If it is not legal on your country, or if you really really trust your government (sounds stupid, anyway..) and you don’t want to be anonymized, so do not change your IMEI. http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=601651&postcount=62

The Full Story of #Nokia and #Microsoft - How we got here, and why Microsoft will fail with Nokia handsets just like it did with Kin http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2013/09/the-full-story-of-nokia-and-microsoft-how-we-got-here-and-why-microsoft-will-fail-with-nokia-handset.html
Ok the news is out. I told you literally two years ago, that the Windows Phone strategy would be the death of Nokia’s handset business, and today we have the final nail in that coffin. I honestly, truly with my hand on my heart, hoped this day would never come, and that my prediction would be seen as wrong. But unfortunately I was correct (once again). I do tend to know this industry. And I was the first to tell you, on this blog, that Nokia’s handset business just died. I told you when it happend, and more importantly, I told you why it died. It didn’t die with the crazy Burning Platforms memo, nor with the announcement of Microsoft Windows Phone either. So this is my (first) full epitaph to Nokia. And we have to have a bit of history. (Long blog warning - this runs 12,000 words, so get yourself a cup of coffee, this will take about half an hour

Richard #Stallman (the father of #GNU) believes that #society by accepting overt full time #tracking implicates the innocent who don’t carry a #phone as a full time tracking device as suspicious.
It works like this: For some reason, maybe you were cheating on your wife and visiting a girlfriend or just playing D&D with your nerd buddies near what unknown to you turns out to be a meth lab. After the cops bust the lab they do an audit of cell tower records a few months back and find you visiting at strange hours in the same vicinity, you are now suspected of being a top level drug dealer who is lying low after the lab bust. The cops finally get tired of you not selling drugs after following you for a few weeks probably with a good search warrant to tap phones and sneak&peek your house. They break the door with a SWAT team, shoot your dog, pepper spray your wife, cuff your kids, and haul you in. The cops offer to drag you through court and maybe even lie to get a conviction unless you turn in more drug dealers, they also can confiscate your home, vehicle and posessions with only suspicion that it was used in smuggling or selling #drugs.
Kinda makes you wish you had not carried you standard issue human #tracker with you everywhere not knowing if there was something suspicious that you might get tangled up in.
More likely is situations like the Arab spring(summer,fall, winter, spring, summere…) where governments may direct secret police to monitor the #mobile phone #network logs to track people.
Bing tinfoil hat about #privacy is like being tinfoil hat about the law, you never know when you will be mistaken as a much bigger fish than you actually are. I used to be a SWAT team medic, the busts we made were sometimes ridiculous, the way the family of the suspect were often treated was even worse, so yea, I got issued a tin plated kevlar helmet.

I personally have no problem with the whole #Apple #patents brouhaha. Steve #Jobs did a miraculous job on "dumbing-down" the smart #phone, to the point where it now has no buttons at all, and the only thing the user can do is finger-paint on it. The #touchscreen may seem like a cool approach to a user interface, but it also subtly locks the user into being merely a #consumer of information, never a #producer. The rest of the #cell phone #industry has blindly rushed down the rabbit hole right behind Apple. The jury really was right -- the whole world now is filled with iPhones and #iPhone wannabes. These corporations needed a good smack in the side of the head to remind them that Apple's way is not the only possible way to design products. Stuff like pinch-to-zoom is popular because Apple made it popular, not because it is necessarily the best way to do things. Right now, I don't see _anyone_ trying to actually compete with Apple. The default response seems to be what #Nokia did -- just give up, dump your entire internal R&D department, and license the latest #iOS clone from #Microsoft or #Google. Maybe if Apple wins enough patent cases, somebody will get the hint and go back to designing a device that isn't an iPhone
