What's wrong with cameras mounted at the front? At least one can record the journey properly that way.

Nah, still too expensive. We need some competition in this area to bring down the rates. It is only then that the vision of an AIO spam package in every home can be realized.

What about gmail & google docs?

Because not everyone likes to milk the cows.

About an year ago my HTC HD2 was stolen while getting off a bus, here in India. I am quite aware of my belongings while traveling so it came as a surprise. I realized that it was stolen within 15 seconds but could not find it on anyone (yes they were generous enough to allow being frisked; pockets only). Most probably, it was the person sitting next to me. He had taken the ticket to the same stop as me. But, while getting down he was nowhere to be found.

That day I realized how easy it was for these guys. Although, I do respect them for their skills. Apparently, the key to pulling it off is a push. At the police station, there was a template for reporting stolen mobiles. In fact that is the only template they had. Ever since, I have been using a phone so cheap that it would strike their prestige should they attempt to steal it.

I realized that all I really needed from a phone is the ability to make/receive voice calls, receive SMS alerts and sometimes, text people. This dumb phone serves all these and it's keypad gives me the most efficiency in doing them. Until the manufacturers and service providers implement a kill switch for all stolen phones, I have decided to stay clear of smartphones.

Not everyone is as lucky as my boss who has had cabbies frantically try and succeed in their attempts to return the phones he had left behind. Even a village rallied to find the owner of a phone he dropped in a swamp while snapping (photographs) birds. I am sure Poseidon is spending sleepless nights trying to return the phone he threw into the ocean while being frustrated by a client.

So corsets are hardware?

So, human brains do have a doggy like "Bark Area"!

What would they have given for free to the residents of Chernobyl?
