Panic Mode, Self Destruction mode – The future of Mobile Phones.
Well I did watch the movie Mission Impossible 1,2 & 3. I am taking this to next level, I think it is high time for Mobile phones to have this feature of Self Destruction mode. Why?
You should have heard about the excellent feature of Mobile tracker from Samsung. Wow - Awesome, That Awesome didn’t help my friend to get back his mobile.
What is Mobile tracker?
The owner of the mobile phone needs to store 2 sets of mobile number on to Samsung phone. After which in any case some one changes the SIM card of that mobile with a new SIM card, Immediately a SMS is sent to both the registered numbers of the new SIM card inserted or mobile phone number is revealed. So that the Owner can track who is currently owning his/her mobile.
Now back to story…
My friend had recently lost his mobile tracker enabled mobile phone, in spite of he calling up the current mobile owner, the phone has not yet reached his hands. He threatens to throw the mobile in to a WELL, rather he returns the mobile of fearing a plot to get captured by Cops.
So here is my simple suggestion, I am sure the mobile manufacturers are listening
This phone should have these features
1) Data Sync
2) Panic Mode
3) Self Destruction Mode.
Data Sync: Why can’t all data be backed up instantly or atleast every day, week or month, Well I suggest that to happen automatically on a computer through Wifi or any other method possible. As soon as the user authenticates a particular computer and when the user is well inside the network it should back up the new updates, with out even bothering the Mobile phone owner.
Panic Mode: As soon as you loose your mobile phone, you send an SMS to your mobile phone with some unique keys. From then on any SMS on that mobile phone received will be forwarded to the desired number set by you, All voice calls in conference mode. The data card datas are completely erased.
Assuming the thief is smart enough, inserts a new SIM card, Panic mode automatically gets activated and any future communications are to shared with the 2 desired numbers already set by the owner of the Mobile phone. More of an enhanced mobile tracker. Let us say the thief is even more smart enough to have an SIM card inserted with little money re-charged, then SMS alone gets activated and when money recharged with sufficient money it should do with conference call.
Self Destruction mode: Assuming you spoke to the thief and is not ready for any deals. Then why the heck he should have your Mobile phone or even sell them. Start activating the Self destruction mode by just sending the SMS with a unique key, kindly note that SMS can be activated from any mobile phone. The mother board starts to melt down by alerting the user with a speaker phone voice activated for self destruction.
Happen to read from Seth Godin blog on
“Gil lost his cell phone”
I think Seth would appreciate my idea.
Kindly note: Mobile manufacturers, If you intend to use my idea, Kindly reward me. Let’s discuss.
Her Morning Elegance – Amazing Video
It is been a long time since I have seen a nice video, by using simple technique, like the stop motion photography. I wouldn’t say making this video is simple, it takes hours to create the video, the main thing is the lighting which needs to be considered.
Hats off guys
check out the new facebook layout
I have been wondering why the url had subdomain called “new”
http://www.new.facebook.com and it turned out that Facebook is trying out a new layout.
A nice way to gain acceptance from users to try out old layout to new layout. If people still stick on the old design the designers at facebook know that their design sucks
Guys your new design is kewl, I am sure more users will adopt to the new design. All the best.

The spinning girl image can let you know which part of your brain works for you and how you perceive thing normally.
Which way is she spinning for you?
Clockwise or Anti Clockwise
If clockwise you are using your right side of you brain. If anti clockwise you are using your left side of your brain. It is not that difficult to experience the anti clockwise or vice versa, all it takes is to move your eyes away from the image for few seconds and view the spinning girl again.
