Rapid Fire 8/11/05
* "Los Alamos dork radiates two states"
* Bin Laden to Iraq? (take with giant salt lump)
* Israeli doc's "super bandage"
* Transit cops don't learn -- unless you bomb them
* Dog vs. dog in Iraq
* Cell phones = air sensors?
(Big ups: Murdoc)
OK, a couple of scary apps for this technology, which we must take seriously if Deloitte & Touche is pushing it.
1. You get one of the new phones. You turn it on and it begins to report back to Mother Air Quality Database. You have a call of nature, and go into a small, one-hole biffy. As you emerge, 10 pounds lighter, you are met by the entire LAFD HazMat squad who grab you and put you through some interesting decon.
2. You get one of the new phones and turn it on. After work, you have a few beers. Your wifey calls and says Come Home, while you talk, the phone is analyzing the alco content of your breath. You leave the tavern and are arrested by LASO for DUII.
Just a little to techie for this kid. I won't be getting one, even if they offer to pay part or all of my ncell phone bill.
