    Eloping Girls – Vanitha Blames Mobiles Phones

    Eloping Girls – Vanitha Blames Mobiles Phones-Image
    Vanitha is back with another emotional and touchy story, this time its eloping girls and the blame goes to mobiles phones. Looks like Vanitha is pissed at mobile phone companies, for not advertising in it. I cant think of any other logical reason as to why Manorama and Vanitha is doing so much of propaganda against mobile phones. This time also the pattern is the same. Touching stories, emotional words, and scary interpretations....

    Manorama Strikes Again with Kinky Bluetooth Stories

    Manorama Strikes Again with Kinky Bluetooth Stories-Image
    Malayala Manorama, the most popular Malayalam Daily is back with another bluetooth story. This time its even more disgusting and technically incorrect. Now before I go into the details of the article, I just want to make a point. Internet and Mobile Phone are not bad technologies. People might misuse it, its a fact. But people are also misusing the print medium. PlayBoy, Penthhouse, Debonair etc are pure examples of the print...

    Kerala Police – On Top of Technology or Stupidity

    Kerala Police – On Top of Technology or Stupidity-Image
    The news report claims that the HiTech Crime Enquiry Cell of Kerala Police has technology to trace all the mobile phones and devices through which a video has propagated by analysing the video. I wonder what sort of technology allows to trace all of that. Being a Bluetooth expert myself, I have no idea how to achieve this. Is this something added by the reporter or a fear game by the police ?

    The Vanitha article about “Mobile phones and Blue Truth”, that contains so called real stories, provoked me to write my previous post http://www.kenneyjacob.com/2008/04/25/vanitha-internet-and-the-mobile-phone/ Thanks to the readers for pointing out some examples of stinking journalism that the Malayala Manorama group does. The first one, their sting operation in which they send some girls to provoke men and collect...

    Vanitha Magazine, Internet and the Mobile phone

    Vanitha Magazine, Internet and the Mobile phone-Image
    I recently read a long feature about the harm caused by mobile phones in “Vanitha Magazine“, a local womens magazine which is very popular. The main argument was that students are using mobile phone to view and share porn. The article is written in such a manner that no parent will dare to buy a mobile phone for his son or daughter. This is not the first time that Vanitha magazine is writing against mobile phones. A...

    Wibree Demo by CSR-Image
    Wibree, now known as Ultra Low Power Bluetooth saw its first working demo today. CSR, the chip manufacturer successfully demonstrated data transfer between 2 dual mode bluetooth chips. The venue was a medical conference in Luxembourg. The chips will be commercially available from this year itself. I hope to see a lot of cell phones are wrist watches with wibree technology in the market. This would pave way to a whole new set...
