A Sharp está lançando no Japao o SH903i, um modelo de celular com recursos para quem nao quer que o conteudo de seu aparelho seja conhecido por ninguém. Tem um software de reconhecimento facial que funciona como sistema de segurança - os dados do celular só podem se acessados pelo dono. Vem ainda com um ‘filtro de privacidade’ que impede que a tela seja vista pelos lados. E para quem acha que o aparelho deve fazer mais do que espantar curiosos, o modelo funciona como repelente de mosquitos atraves de frequencia sonora.
Pra quê tanta coisa, se o que me interessa é só a parte que espanta mosquitos!?

Será que pra acompanhar a web 2.0 teremos o e-mail 2.0?
“In response, Kelly Martin of SecurityFocus makes the modest proposal that the backbone of our e-mail system, Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP), is fundamentally broken and should be scrapped. Designed to be used by a handful of engineers and geeks, SMTP was excellent at what it was designed for — and is, indeed, the reason why e-mail has evolved into such a successful medium. But it wasn’t designed for security or accountability, and patchwork attempts to make it so can’t keep up with the threats.
To that end, Martin proposes developing a new e-mail system that incorporates a high level of security (encryption, compression, secure identities and public-private-key authentication), along with peer-to-peer instant messaging and videoconferencing. The system would be open, of course — and there, Martin is realistic about the difficulty in getting the various commercial e-mailers to adopt it.”

Sim, o Google já dominou o mundo… e faz tempo…
What could be worse than forgetting to bookmark the obscure page you found that maps out the perfect walking tour of Venice? Having bookmarked it on the computer sitting on your desk back at home, 6000 miles away, instead of on the laptop you brought along. Or how about the frustration of being on a new computer and not remembering your passwords because your browser on your old computer automatically filled them in for you?
These sorts of frustrations inspired us to build a Firefox extension that keeps your browser settings for all your computers in sync. Google Browser Sync unifies your bookmarks, history, saved passwords, and persistent cookies across all the computers where you install it. It also remembers which tabs and windows you had open when you last closed any of your browsers and gives you a chance to reopen them. We think you’ll enjoy how it handles sync conflicts and “just works,” enabling you to bring your browser with you everywhere.
Meanwhile, we’ve also been improving version 2 of the Google Toolbar for Firefox. We’ve fixed a bunch of bugs and made it more stable, so we’re stripping off the “beta” tag. We’ll be updating all Toolbar users to this new version in the next couple of weeks.
