Things You Never Knew Your Cellphone Could Do....

((1))
EMERGENCY

The Emergency Number worldwide for **Mobile** is112

If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network andthere is an emergency,

dial 112

and the mobile will search any existing network to establish theemergency number for you,

and interestingly this number 112 can be dialled even if the keypad is locked.**Try it out.**

Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does you car have remote keys?

This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, callsomeone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.

Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have theperson at your home press the unlock button, holding it near themobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock.

Saves someone fro having to drive your keys to you. Distance is noobject. You could be hundreds of miles away,

and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car,you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Hidden battery power

Imagine your cell battery is very low , you are expecting an importantcall and you don't have a charger.

Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery.

To activate, press the keys

*3370#

Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will showa50%increase in battery.

This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time AND...

How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the followingdigits on your phone:

* # 0 6 #

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique toyour handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. when yourphone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give themthis code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if thethief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.

You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know thatwhoever stole it can't use/sell it either.

Be care while using your mobile phone

When you try to call someone through mobile phone,don't put yourmobile closer to your ears until the recipient answers. Becausedirectly after dialling, the mobile phone would use it's maximumsignalling power, which is: 2 watts = 33dbi, Plz Be Careful, Messageas received (Save your brain) Please use left ear while using cell(mobile), because if you use the right one it will affect braindirectly. This is a true fact from Apollo medical team.

B-membrane PC

B-membrane PC

People are coming with all sorts of designs for the next gen PC and I’m sure you have already seen many of these presented here. Although it didn’t participate in this year’s NextGen PC Design competition, the “B-membrane” PC I found over at Yanko Design will surely leave you with a good impression.

It is envisioned by Korean designer Won-Seok Lee. The interesting part is that his PC design does not need any kind of monitor, as Lee has opted for beaming the visual stuff onto any surface you can point the integrated omni-directional projector at.

The futuristic design also includes a membrane touch sensitive keyboard that appears when needed and a seamlessly integrated optical drive. When the computer rests unused, it enters some sort of “screen saver” mode where the projector can beam ambient light effects on any surface you desire.

It looks more like a vase to me, but considering that Macbook Air already integrates some pretty powerful components, this design could end up as a gaming rig as well. The keyboard may prove a bit uncomfortable as the surface on which it appears is curved and it doesn’t provide a palm rest. However, the projection part is a brilliant idea, and if Lee can manage to squeeze some Super Hi-Vision projector inside his design, we could be talking about the next gen HTPC.

NASA Hyperwall-2

I think you still remember that 15-monitor display. You ain’t seen nothing yet, I tell you. Check out what NASA is using.

NASA explains that their monitor wall was developed by scientists and engineers in the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division at Ames. The wall is made up of no less than 128 displays and it is capable of rendering one quarter billion pixel graphics, which is supposed to be the world's highest resolution scientific visualization and data exploration environment. The new tool enables scientists to quickly explore datasets that otherwise would take many years to analyze.

Measuring around 23-foot-wide by 10-foot tall, the liquid crystal display wall aka Hyperwall-2 is being used to view, analyze, and communicate results from NASA's high-fidelity modeling and simulation projects supporting the safety of new space exploration vehicle designs, atmospheric re-entry analysis for the space shuttle, earthquakes, climate change, global weather and black hole collisions.

"The Hyperwall-2 offers a supercomputer-scale environment that is truly up to the task of visualization and exploration of the very large datasets routinely produced by NASA supercomputers and instruments," said Bryan Biegel, NAS deputy chief. "The system also will be used to get highly detailed information on how NAS supercomputers are operating, enabling staff to quickly and precisely diagnose problems or inefficiencies with the supercomputers or the software running on them."

What you don’t see in the pictures is the system that is powering the displays, which integrates 128 graphics processing units and 1,024 processor cores, with 74 teraflops (one teraflop equals one trillion floating point operations per second) of peak processing power and a data storage capacity of 475 terabytes (one terabyte equals one trillion bytes). That’s nowhere near the Roadrunner – the fastest supercomputer on Earth at the moment, but the Hyperwall-2 system allows researchers to quickly determine trends across an array of related simulation results, or to view a single large image or animation. It would take nearly 600 video game consoles to equal the hyperwall-2's graphics processing capabilities.

According to NASA, the Hyperwall-2 system has more than 100 times the processing power of the original 49-screen Hyperwall developed in 2002 by the NAS visualization team.

Interactive Scape

If you think the Microsoft’s Surface and the Diamondtouch device aren’t big enough for your tastes, check out a larger version of the touchy table coming from Interactive Scape.

This table integrates a a 58-inch touch surface that’s basically the same thing Microsoft Surface and Diamondtouch are offering. Of course, you can always spend ridiculous sums of money on the Microsoft TouchWall already available.

DVice claims that the Interactive Scape table lets you compute stuff in touchscreen-style by moving graphic objects around its 1080p touchscreen with your hands. Nothing new here, except that wider touch surface. In addition, just like the Surface table, Interactive Scape lets you transfer data to and from cell phones and pocket devices, by placing these on the edges of the table which integrate Bluetooth-compatible hardware.

The stylish table comes with its Corian surface decked out in your choice of colors. The German manufacturer doesn’t mention anything about pricing. It might be that this table could actually be more expensive than the Diamondtouch.Hopefully, Interactive Scape will release the table sooner than Microsft, allowing them to lower the prices when the competition gets nasty. Here’s a short clip which depicts the way people interact with the Interactive Scape table:

The portable eBook reader from Booken is characterized by an intuitive interface with native multi format support, high-resolution E Ink screen and long battery life to allow you browse and read large content amounts, from dictionaries to best selling books.

E Ink gadgets use an electronic paper display with high contrast, very low power consumption and a lighter-weight thin shape. The ink carries a charge and can be updated electronically. It consists of millions of tiny micro capsules having positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles suspended in a clear fluid. As the negative electric field is applied, white particles start moving to the top of the micro capsule, becoming visible to the user.

Cybook GEN3 is the most improved version of this portable eBook reader model, featuring the E Ink-based display offering high viewability in any light conditions, from any angle, without showing flicker effects. As it looks like a normal paper, you can’t use it in dark environments, but it has a resolution of 166 dpi, 600 x 800 pixel, black and white display, 6 inches in diagonal, 4 grey levels, portrait or landscape modes, and the Vizplex technology, the fastest and brightest electronic paper display from the E Ink Corporation, providing 80% improved refresh rate and 25% more brightness.

As it was designed with a 1-mm thick screen and integrating a very small Lithium Polymer battery, the new Cybook portable eBook reader measures just 188 x 118 x 8.5 mm at a weight of 174 grams. The E Ink technology doesn’t require power to maintain an image so while you read a page it doesn’t consume power, this leading to an increased battery life for up to 8,000 screen refreshes.

You can store your books either in the internal memory of the Cybook or in an extra optional memory card. The books can be stored either on its internal 512MB space or on a memory card with which you can add up to 2GB, meaning 10,000 standard books in Mobipocket, HTML or Text format.The 1000 mAh Li-Pol battery charges via the Cybook USB connector in 3 hours, and to maintain it you could switch between the following modes: Sleep mode, which increased the battery life up to one week; Off mode; and the Normal mode with the processor running at full speed and with the MP3 playing. The latter lasts up to 3 hours.

Cybook GEN3’s interface is described as highly responsive, accessible via buttons, so you can turn page forward/backward, jump to a specific page, display position in the book, increase font size and reflow text automatically, modify font family and reflow text, display/hide header information, activate hyperlink within text or image, lookup word definition or translation from loaded dictionaries, add bookmark to pages, switch layout to landscape mode, zoom pages, modify number of items displayed per page, filter by document type, sort documents, start/stop slideshow between images or eBooks, deactivate/activate flashing between screen, activate/deactivate auto shut-off, playback MP3s, and generate custom newspaper with RSS feeds and synchronize it via USB with the Cybook.Also, you have access to the free Mobipocket Desktop Reader software with tones of books available for download on the Cybook.You can even read several books at the same time.

The Cybook GEN3 eReader is available at Booken online store at a price of $350.
