EU caps input roaming charges
March 2, 2010
Ever being slapped with an insanely high input roaming bill simply considering you forgot to turn off the option to access details when you were abroad? Such expensive mistakes could be a thing of the past whether the European Union has their way, with a bunch of regulators stepping in to impose new restrictions that will help users cap their monthly wireless documents bills. From July 1, 2010 onwards, mobile broadband users in Europe are forced to choose a maximum monthly cost they want to pay for mobile documents. Whenever they reach near to 80% of that total, one will receive a warning from the carrier followed by a temporary suspension when the spending cap is reached. whether you decide to bury your head in the sand and do nothing about it, thereupon you will automatically be given a $68 monthly limit (for input only). So much for being responsible adults, eh? We still need Big Brother to prevent us from going overboard in our spending.

Nokia N97 Mini gets firmware update as well
February 2, 2010
Big brother always leads the way, right? whether that's the case, it is no surprise to see the Nokia N97 Mini additionally receive a firmware update just like the N97 earlier yesterday. Version 11.0.045 is available as a 160MB download, where the software supposedly frees up more RAM (around 6MB) after boot up, improvement in signal quality, a better browsing experience (relative to the rest of the Nokia world of course), better audio playback and improved image and video stability. Strangely suitable, the free version of Ovi Maps 3.3 isn't included, but that is easily remedied by the easy add-on from 'Software update' on the device. Have you updated your N97 Mini yet?

Intel to insert chips in brain
November 20, 2009
Intel wants to have chips (theirs, obviously) inside our brains in the future so that there is no need for a mouse or keyboard to take charge of our computers. Dean Pomerleau is the brains behind that vision, where he works for Intel on matters of cognitive neuroscience, machine learning, computer vision, robotics, man-machine interfaces, brain processing of semantic info, and various brain-scanning technologies including fMRI, MEG, EEG and ECoG. We don't think something like that will ever take off - it would certainly leave the thought of Big Brother knowing our every move and thoughts.
