Amp'd Mobile Soft-Launches
Article Comments 26
Dec 16, 2005, 8:27 AM by (staff)
New MVNO on the block Amp'd Mobile today began accepting orders for its phones and service on its web site. The company is initially offering just one phone - the black Kyocera Jet - although it also plans to offer a white version called the Angel, and a Motorola phone dubbed the Hollywood, based on the E815. Monthly plans range from $30 for 250 voice minutes to $100 for 2000 minutes. All plans include unlimited weekends and nights starting at 9PM. In a unique twist, all plans include "no overage on mobile-to-mobile", meaning calls to other Amp'd users deduct from minutes, but become unlimited once all minutes are used. Push-To-Talk, data, and messaging all cost extra. A special $200/month plan includes unlimited everything, plus a free phone. Amp'd uses Verizon's CDMA EV-DO network to offer streaming and downloadable content for the youth and young adult markets. The company received a cash infusion of $50 million from MTV earlier this week.

CONYERS - The Heritage soccer teams kicked off their 2009 campaigns with mixed results against Grayson on Tuesday night at Evans Memorial Stadium.The Heritage girls battled to a 1-1 in the opener, while the Heritage boys dropped a 4-0 decision in the nightcap. GIRLS Heritage 1, Grayson 1 After a scoreless first half, the Lady Patriots struck for the game's first goal in the opening minute of the second half. Shealy Kulp set up the goal by hustling to track down a loose ball on the left wing. Then, Kulp slid a pass over to Nadia Bryan, who fired a cross deep in the box to Michelle Borg at the far post. Borg, a sophomore, buried her shot for the 1-0 lead with 39:07 left in the game. "It was a very nice goal. We've been working on finishing some service for three weeks now," Heritage girls coach Chad Suddeth said. "That was a nice hustle play by Shealy to get a loose ball. Nadia made a great trail run and made a great service to Michelle, who timed her run perfectly and hit it right in stride. It was a beautiful goal." The Lady Rams tied the game with 14:09 left in the game when Erin Griffin scored from deep in the box. The Heritage girls had one last chance to win the game in the final seconds, but they could not get off a shot after a Grayson turnover. "Against a quality, quality, quality opponent, this is the type of effort we were hoping for," Suddeth said. "It was a little bit sloppy, but I'm proud of the result. I told the girls the result was not as important as our performance was. We've definitely got to clean some things up, but it was good to get a look at a team with that kind of speed and that kind of physical nature." BOYS Grayson 4, Heritage 0 The Rams spoiled the coaching debut of Heritage's Brandon Stewart, scoring two goals in the each the first and second half. Grayson dented the scoreboard in the fifth minute of the game on an own goal when Heritage's Young Shinn accidentally pass the ball back into his own net. With 8:52 left in the first half, Grayson's Travis Csere scored for a 2-0 advantage. Csere struck again 4:28 into the second half for the Rams, while Gimel Gordon closed out the scoring with 3:35 left in the contest. Heritage's Francisco Pimentel and Se Hoon Ahn both had good scoring chances in the second, but they were denied by the Rams keeper. The Heritage squads open Area 8-AAAA play on Friday night at Cedar Shoals in Athens. Jeff Gillespie can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Loading a route to a Garmin 62s is just straight lines between waypoints
So I've got this little unit to use on the little bike for off road navigation and such.
I created a route in RoadTrip on the laptop (since it is the only computer that has "full" maps on it). I then took the .gpx and imported it to the desktop where I have BaseCamp and California Topo loaded. The route came up perfect on the BaseCamp machine- just like in RoadTrip.
However, when I load the route to the 62s, and go to view it, only straight lines between waypoints show up. The reason I'm confused is that the maps I'm using on the 62s are also the California Topo ones (loaded from the very machine I use BaseCamp on).
I know this is something simple, but since the mapsets on both the 62s and Mac are the same, the route should come across and follow the trails/roads in parallel. Or at least I would have thought so.
This is the process I've been following for many years with the Garmin GPS on the other bike with no issues, so I don't get it. I also used the 62s earlier this year and took a track log from the internet, turned it into a route in BaseCamp, and then sent it to the 62s and it worked just like that.
What did I miss?
Should I just add a bunch more waypoints for it to become sensical?
The part I don't get is that in BaseCamp it shows the mileage and everything. However, when I look at the route on the 62s, it shows just the mileage "as a crow flies" between the waypoints. AND the roads and trails that the route would follow are showing on the GPS as well. :huh
Check to see which maps are active on the GPS. Unselect all but the topo and see what happens then.
Or turn the route into a track in Basecamp and load that to the GPS.
EDIT: I can't figure out how to turn it into a track?
read your gps manual on how to "calculate" a route as opposed to a "direct" route...your manual is your friend....
So I made the change in settings to "On Road for time" or the like. Still a straight line. I deleted the route and then created it with the waypoints. A straight line. I'm totally lost now.
Ah, I got it! And not by making all the changes and such.
When I just created the route and said screw it, let's see what happens, I get the error: "Route Calculation error. Maps do not have routable roads in this area."
That really sucks. So in order to make use of the ability of the 62s to be able to calculate a route as opposed to it being direct, I need to buy the Garmin maps? Lame.
To add insult to injury, I have to change it to Off Road to even get to navigate the route. Kinda pisses me off, but I understand why it is the case.
Most people use the small screen GPS for shorter dirt rides and use Tracks instead of routes. No routable map required.
osm maps are free and routable.....
but City navigator maps from garmin is worth the price to get the full use the gps capability
the CN maps also do quite well on the smaller dirt roads in many areas
So getting back to navigable maps, where are some sources other than Garmin for that? If I were to just get a decent portion of the Western US, I'm looking at over $400, from Garmin and that seems a bit steep.
I know you said "other then Garmin" but IMO they have the best maps set for their products.
CityNavigator is routable and has any (and then some) route which is legal in DV, also a great POI file.
Add the 100k TOPO (has a great geographic POI file) and you have the whole of the US for under $200.
Or go with one of the open source maps, nothing lost trying them but they were a disappointment for me.
I know how good their maps are and I really like them, just being whiney since I'm getting nickel and dimed for a bunch of stuff lately and it's getting hard to justify costs to the boss (and to myself for that matter)...
You can't trust Routes, your GPS will recalculate them every time you open it. Tracks NEVER change, and you don't even need a map under them.
Second point, I have tracks for every legal road in Death Valley on GPSXchange.com. Just start cutting and pasting and you have your tradcs for the day. Even if I didn't them, is so easy to hand draw tracks for some place like Death Valley you could do what ever you want in an hour which is less time than you have spent asking questions here.
If you really want to make life easy, just come on one of my Death Valley rides. 3-day on Feb 16 or 2-day on Mar 9. I will download tracks to your GPS and you go ride. See DualSportWest.com

Oh it's Friday again… Which means FridayReads time! Today: The slow demise of the Poke – Button, G+ followers appear in search results and communal media sharing on G+: It IS possible.
Let us be honest: Who on earth knows exactly what the "Poke" – Button on facebook was about? (Apart from Zuckerberg of course) Exactly. Nobody. Over the course of the last few updates facebook constantly hid the Poke feature deeper and deeper. So why don't kill it off completely? Mashables Pete Cashmore comments on the story of the poke, and why Facebook should trigger the kill switch. Read the full article HERE
Some of you might have noticed, that certain authors and editors, who are using the new Google Markup have the number of their Google+ Followers showing up next to them in the search result. This is a neat feature that many "Normal" users certainly would like to see for themselves as well, while other would be creeped out by that. Read the full story HERE
Google+ Media sharing?
Google+ continues to grow and add new features. Bradley Horowitz now teases the community with rumors for a possible enhanced media sharing on Google+. What EXACTLY will be added is unknown, but one can expect much from the worlds fastest – growing social network. Read the full story HERE

University of Wisconsin Stout | Wisconsin's Polytechnic University
Academic Programs
Get Your Hands on Your Future
Student-centered learning in degree programs that fully engage you in the classroom and in the real world.
Get Your Hands on Your Future
Student-centered learning in degree programs that fully engage you in the classroom and in the real world.
Every person has value in our world, no matter what his or her ability level. In addition, each child in the United States is entitled to an education suited to his or her needs. Whether integrated into regular education classrooms, learning in specialized facilities or a combination of both, everyone deserves to reach his or her full potential. If you care about people with different abilities, helping these students succeed is one of the most rewarding careers available.
UW-Stout's Special Education program prepares you to teach students across categories of disabilities including learning, cognitive, emotional and behavioral. Certification means you'll be qualified to teach students from kindergarten through adolescence, which includes ages 5 through 21.
As a special educator, your mission is to both advocate for your students and their families while providing an appropriate level education for each student's ability. To succeed, you'll need to know how to assess the characteristics of the learners you serve, design effective teaching strategies, and develop the right attitude to practice within established standards.
Increasingly, students with disabilities have been integrated into regular education settings. Their education is usually supplemented by support services provided by a special education case manager. As a special education teacher, you must possess a working knowledge of all general education curriculum subjects and content. You'll work with general education teachers to:
Develop lesson plans, materials and tests
Adapt curriculum to be appropriate for each student
Teach specific learning strategies and study skills
The special education teacher responsibilities also include:
Developing individual education and transition plans
Working with families and other support services
As a graduate of this program you'll receive a Wisconsin teaching license in cross-categorical special education. You'll be able to assess students' vocational readiness, provide a school-to-work curriculum, provide transition services to students with disabilities, and assist families of students with special needs to coordinate with community service providers.
A college preparatory background is recommended if you are interested in the special education program. English, science, mathematics, social studies, art and music are important as these areas are all included in teaching children and young adults.
Your coursework is arranged so that special education courses can be taken at the same time as general education requirements. General education courses include English composition, speech, psychology, history, biology and math. Faculty members are highly qualified and eager to help you with course and career choices. Help also is available through the Advisement and Career Centers, the Counseling Center and Career Services.
The curriculum includes courses in:
Educational psychology
Classroom management
Vocational evaluation
Behavioral intervention in schools
School, family and community collaboration
You'll also develop techniques used to teach across categories of disabilities, including cognitive, emotional, behavioral and learning disabilities. Completing a variety of field experiences – from your sophomore year through to a full semester of student teaching – will give you the experience you need to succeed. Special education faculty and students also regularly engage in outreach service and collaboration within the region and state.
According to the Department of Labor Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11, "Employment is expected to increase faster than the average for all occupations. Job prospects should be excellent because many districts report problems finding adequate numbers of licensed special education teachers."

I think it is because I prefer books with less mysticism in them.

"WE LIVE in fear." That is how Ian Gibson MP, chair of the UK's House of Commons select committee on science, describes life as a target of animal rights extremists. Because of his backing for animal experiments, Gibson and his wife have received death threats and routinely check under their car for bombs.
For countries where animal experimentation is not yet a national issue, the UK shows one way the debate can go. Despite having some of the strictest rules in the world governing what can be done to animals in the name of science, it is home to a band of vicious activists. Not content with terrorising researchers, they have taken to threatening shareholders and employees of drug companies - and even firms that do business with those drug companies.
The victims of animal terrorism describe protests outside their homes, excrement on their doormats and leaflets sent to neighbours ...

Hey everybody,
I want to start by telling you my stats.
I'm 5foot9in
I weight 150 Lbs.
and I'm 11.7% fat.
So I'm not a very big guy, I never have been. So what I'm trying to do is to get big. just 8 months ago I was 130 I think that its too much time to have only gained 20lbs. and those 20lbs weren't just muscle it was mostly fat.
I have a very fast metabolism so its a real pain to gain weight just a month ago I lost 5lbs in a matter of days and it took me 2 weeks to gain 3lbs back. so my problem is that my body doesn't seem to want to get bigger.
I'm also lactose intolerant so drinking a protein shake with mils is a real pain.
A regular day for me consist in about 3000 calories... so I try to eat 4000 and up but then I end up working out and I'm sure I burn those extra calories I ate... I dont want to stop working out just to gain weight and its almost impossible to eat more food... Any suggestions on what I can do?
Welcome to ABC.

The East Mississippi Community College football coach has been a good "Buddy" over the last six years.
In the six years that Buddy Stephens has been the coach of the Lions, he has built a dynasty.
East Mississippi won its third MACJC State championship in five years with a 61-24 victory over Jones Junior College on Saturday at Sullivan-Windham Field.
Following Saturday's win, it was announced that Stephens was chosen MACJC Coach of the Year and it is much deserved.
Stephens has enjoyed quite a run in Scooba.
The Lions are 55-10 overall and 6-3 in playoff games under Stephens.
EMCC won immediately when Stephens stepped onto campus in 2008. The Lions had an 8-2 record that season and finished ranked 10th in the final NJCAA poll.

Monthly archive: October 2010
Jacob mentioned this to me: an electric car that ran 370 miles on a single charge in Germany.
It appears to be legit, so I'm not calling scam (and I certainly hope it's for real!), but something is lost in translation.
Assume the thing has a 30hp motor like a VW Beetle from the 60s.
30hp=22kW. Times 7 hours is 156kWh. (This is close to a comment I read that said 115kWh necessary, maybe the motor is even less powerful than a 1965 VW Bug.)
It also says charges in 6 or 18 minutes, depending on what article you read. Fine. Call it 18 minutes.
115kWh in 18 minutes is over 380kW. That's what a 100,000 square foot office building draws on the hottest day of the year when all the AC is going, through a 2000A, 4kV bus in the basement with cables as big as your forearm.
No way is it coming out of your household service.
I am not even taking into account overhead losses, efficiency of charging, etc.
Also extra fishy, there are very few independent news sources reporting on this…it's all blog posts quoting each other. Not reassuring.
I hope it's true, but something is wrong here.
Blogging from the train
I took the train from NYC to Denver for the AASHE (higher ed sustainability group conference). Most people take it for granted that flying is the only way to go that distance. So I wrote a blog post for AASHE about my experiences. Find it here.

An Iconic Six-sided Silhouette: Hedra Armchair by nolen niu
The Hedra Armchair by Beverly Hills-based studio nolen niu comes with a modern approach to the classic leather cigar chair. Found on 3rings, the design makes one think of soberness, coolness and a state of complete relaxation. The craftsmanship of the Hedra chair is truly unique and its materials and dark color palette make it easily adaptable to a large variety of interior decors. The term "Hedra" dates back to ancient Greece and means "face of a geometrical solid". This contemporary chair has a stunning silhouette which looks different from each of its six "faces". According to the producers, the product comes with several different finishes, including Macassar, Mahogany, Maple, Walnut, Wenge, and White Oak.

Technology Guide : Software Use and the Law
Individuals have the right to make a backup copy of software if one is not provided by the manufacturer, however, it is illegal to make copies of software for any other purpose. The law applies equally to a $25.00 game or a $750.00 CAD program. It is illegal to load copies of any software, Operating System (OS) or otherwise, on any system other than the system it was originally intended for.

The Law
Copyright law is an evolving field protecting intellectual property. Current legal principles include the following: The copyright holder is given certain exclusive rights, including the right to make and distribute copies. Title 17 of the U.S. Code states that "it is illegal to make or distribute copies of copyrighted material without authorization" (Section 106). The only exception is the user's right to make a backup copy for archival purposes (Section 117).

Notes & Reviews:
"There is a fire in the brain, in the mind, which comes from the universal fire that makes solar systems and galaxies, asteroid belts and comets, huge orbiting spirals, circles, loops that bend back on themselves in giant symmetries and stream out across millions of miles in giant asymmetries. What we humans call music is the perfect expression of this utterly fantastic image." George Rochberg's extraordinary statement perfectly characterizes the contrasts between order and chaos, symmetry and asymmetry, development and repetition of his immense and symmetrical 'Circles of Fire' for piano duo.Notes & Reviews:

Is it a prerequisite for a video game that you have to be super strong, super fast, or (my favorite) super observant? No. You, the player, don't have to possess these qualities. But just about every game on the shelf has an avatar that does things much better than you.
It's escapism obviously. The same reason why the Avengers movie was such a big summer movie draw. Everyone wants to bust heads like the Hulk. Or rather, everyone wants to bust heads like Commander Shepard, have infinite second chances like Nathan Drake, and immediately spot the Templars like Ezio.
That's all good fun. In fact, that's what we're here for.
But when you're a little too powerful or just a little too super in some way, it kind of gets boring. There's too much give and not enough take. Convenient checkpoints and autosaves take away any sense of urgency and danger from points of conflict. Gunfire has this magic way of chinking your health away or avoiding you altogether.
Games that go this way remind me of the invulnerability cheats in other games. I remember typing "power overwhelming" into Starcraft in order to have my small battalion of elite units smash through everything that the AI could muster.
The feeling of power was immediate:
But with great power came great boredom:
"No more suckas? No more fun."
These same feelings came over me when playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The way Starkiller (worst name ever) effortlessly dispatched footsoldiers was boring. Oh look, another wave of plinky laser guys. I guess I'll throw my lightsaber at them. Forget it, I'll just flick them off the edge of the building.
Games that fall under this umbrella tend to be of the third person variety. Maybe it's because looking at your dude's back for the entirety of the game evokes feelings of badassery. That and the simple fact that a top-down or first person perspective won't show off enough of the cool animations that you're likely doing as you hurl electricity at that mutant in the distance.
Games that do it wrong tend to have a highly exaggerated super-powerful protagonist that's in little danger except when confronted by an absolutely overpowered antagonist. Think of the Dynasty Warriors series where 99.99% of the enemies are just living on borrowed time. Your defenses are impenetrable until you nonchalantly challenge Lu Bu.
There's so much killing in those games.
Games that do it right make you feel incredible throughout the journey but throw enough challenges your way to keep you honest. inFAMOUS 2 gets this right when it gives you a whole slew of dangerous beasts to fight leading up to the inevitable throwdown with The Beast.
It feels great riding those power lines but you're still worried during every fight. Especially the ones that take place away from electric lines.
Mentioning everything I did, how can all these other games reach the high point that they're gunning for? Time. These third-person-parkour-fests will have to evolve in new and creative ways once it's realized that they pack only a Loki-sized punch as opposed to a Hulk-sized one. More to the point, it starts with a sequel that improved upon everything that preceded it. From there, maybe we can tone down on the amount of slow-motion used in games. I know that it's in order to exaggerate reflexes but surely there must be another way to do it?
Maybe I'm wrong and everyone else simply loves games that make them feel powerful without recourse. Perhaps the crowded third-person action-adventure genre just isn't for me anymore. I hope that's not the case.
Gaming's shock and awe tactics have simply atrophied. I'll finish by saying that a few moments after this post is published I'll be running through Just Cause 2 for the first time. And I don't expect to reverse my feelings after tonight's playthrough.

PROMISES, PROMISES: Much lobbyist help undisclosed
WASHINGTON Few members of Congress are disclosing that lobbyists are helping them raise campaign cash despite a new law that was supposed to shed light on the ties between lawmakers and the capital's influence brokers, an Associated Press review found.
Though lobbyist-hosted fundraisers are workaday events in Washington – typically advertised to political insiders by fax and word of mouth – only about two dozen lawmakers have reported lobbyists raising money for them.
Many more have escaped disclosure. Lobbyists identified as hosts on at least 195 congressional fundraising invitations have yet to be publicly disclosed as fundraisers by the candidates who benefited, the review found. AP checked invitations that it and the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation independently obtained against campaign finance reports filed with the Federal Election Commission and lobbyist registrations compiled by the Senate.
The review looked at fundraisers held from March 19 through June, the first time period covered in FEC rules that put the lobbyist-fundraising section of the 2007 ethics law into effect this year.
The analysis found that the prominent display of a lobbyist as a host on a lawmaker's fundraising invitation isn't enough to trigger the law's disclosure requirement.
To find out why so much lobbyist help remains off the books, it's helpful to separate how Congress portrayed the ethics law from what the law actually says and how Washington really works.
Congress passed the ethics law in response to public disgust over an influence-peddling scandal involving disgraced Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff, his lobbying team and lawmakers from both parties. Its Democratic proponents portrayed the law as making good on a 2006 campaign promise to clean up Congress, limiting and laying bare to the public the many ways in which lobbyists seek to curry favor with lawmakers, including fundraising.
"In sending the most sweeping ethics and lobbying reform in history to the president, we are giving the American people a government as good and honest as the people it represents," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said after the Senate vote in August 2007.
"Today, with passage of the Honest Leadership, Open Government Act, we draw back the curtains, throw up the windows and let the sunshine in," Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said when the House passed the legislation that July.
The law itself doesn't go that far. When it comes to disclosing lobbyist fundraising for lawmakers, there are so many loopholes that it basically amounts to an honor system.
If a lobbyist takes it upon himself to collect all the money he solicits for a candidate and either forwards it to the campaign himself or directs someone else to do so – and raises more than $16,000, not counting contributions from himself and his spouse – the member of Congress has to report it.
If not, the disclosure requirement is only triggered if the congressional candidate chooses to formally recognize him as a fundraiser. If the candidate takes specific steps to confer some sort of recognition and the lobbyist raises more than $16,000 from people besides himself and his wife, the lawmaker is supposed to report it.

levels, meanwhile, have enacted or approved legislation prohibiting smoking in vehicles in which a child is present (Belluck 2007; OTRU 2006).
Not only do household bans benefit children by reducing the adverse health effects from secondhand smoke exposure, but they also lead to reduced smoking and increased cessation by adults as well. Farkas and colleagues have conducted two studies that demonstrate this effect. Smokers who lived under a total smoking ban were more likely to report a quit attempt in the previous year, and those who made quit attempts were less likely to relapse (Farkas et al. 2000). In fact, smoke-free homes are associated with lower rates of smoking prevalence than smoke-free workplaces (Bonta, Appendix B). Similarly, a survey of Oregonians found that a full household smoking ban resulted in a doubling of the odds of a subsequent quit attempt and that for those contemplating a quit attempt (i.e., those with an intention to quit within the next month), a full ban led to a lower relapse rate (Pizacani et al. 2004). Further evidence from a survey of high school students indicates that a more restrictive home smoking policy is associated with a greater likelihood of being in an earlier stage of smoking uptake and a lower 30-day smoking prevalence (Wakefield et al. 2000). The results of studies of households with smoking bans in Australia have been even more dramatic: the odds of quitting smoking were found to be 4.5 times greater in households with a smoking ban (Siahpush et al. 2003). This evidence suggests that the social context of smoking is an important factor for smokers and that eliminating smoking from the living environment increases the rate of smoking cessation.
Household smoking bans also have the effect of reducing smoking among youth, as the effects of parents as role models appear to be a major factor in determining children's future smoking behavior. Studies indicate that 12-year-old children of parents who smoke are roughly twice as likely to begin smoking between the ages of 13 and 21 years as those whose parents do not smoke. Also, in addition to less smoking by parents, stricter family monitoring and rules regarding smoking were related to a lower risk of smoking initiation (Hill et al. 2005). Farkas and colleagues found that adolescents age 15 to 17 years were 74 percent less likely to be smokers if they lived in houses with smoking restrictions (Farkas et al. 2000). Other studies have verified that strong home smoking bans are associated with lower rates of smoking uptake, prevalence, and consumption among teenagers (Wakefield et al. 2000). A panel convened in June 2006 by NIH found in its review of the scientific literature on tobacco use that clean indoor air policies and laws regulating exposure to tobacco smoke have indeed proven

bad girl smoothie – bon appetit to sagittarius & jupiter
I'm hot for blueberries right now – obviously. as i might have mentioned, these tasty little ubiquitous berries are ruled by the planet of Jupiter. This is due to their bountiful and seemingly endless nature. Pisces is co-ruled by Jupiter and Neptune. Where as, Sagittarius is ruled solely by Jupiter. To paint a blue picture for you, think about Elvis (sag rising) & anna nicole (sag sun). Gluttony, hedonism & expansion (ahem, waistline) were but a few of their Sagittarian qualites.
If there's anything I could possibly hate about my favorite season, summer, it's that everything is ripe all at once! arghhh… so little time, so much to pick. or buy, whatever. that's why we have freezers, right? now if i could just learn how to use them! but back to blueberries… when it rains it pours. all spring and summer, i painstakingly watch those little balls go from a pale shade of green to pink to finally a deep blue hue. YES… FINALLY! what gives? weeks and weeks of no ripe berries, but then, one day they all decide to get ripe. together. blue ball overload! here's the way to handle that girls…
yield: 2 drinks
1/2 c silken tofu
1/3 c honey
full tray of ice
tsp flax oil
2/3 c blueberries
4 oz vodka
throw it all in the blender at the same time and puree until ice is smooth. (created by gwen sutherland kaiser)
even the goodest girl has to be bad sometimes. well no time like the present, so go ahead girls, adulterate those hyper-healthy ingredients. and like it too. who's to know your smoothie's kickin? that's your dirty little secret, you bad girl you. drink for breakfast and walk to work with a spring in your step. or, drink for dinner and have some really sweet dreams.

Motorola Patents Shocking Silent Alert
Article Comments 28
Apr 21, 2006, 12:14 PM by (staff)
Motorola has filed for a patent on a new type of silent alert for mobile devices. Noting that vibrating alert is not truly silent, Motorola has proposed a system that uses mild electrical stimulation instead of a vibrating motor. The user wears a device that can deliver a mild electric charge next to the skin. The phone will wirelessly activate this device to alert you to new calls, messages and more. Motorola has not announced any products with this technology, nor have any even been proposed yet. It is interesting to note that Motorola first developed the vibrating alert that this system is designed to replace.
