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 medium being misused. I didnt see Manorama or any other print medium protesting with captions like “blue print” just like they try to brand bluetooth as “Blue Truth”.

Take a look at their logo.

I must admire their graphics guy. A mouse moving over the outline image of a women. Perfect. Why not try and publish this in your own publication “The Man”.

Now the kinky stories about internet and mobile phones follow. Just look at the care given to the details. A movie script writer if sees this will come and join Manorama to learn this art. And we must not forget that these are experts who can write Kargil war descriptions, and sexy spy stories sitting in their cabins in Kottayam Manorama office.

This is what I call psuedo porn. Also take a look at the title. Brilliant…. right ? Poor Bluetooth.

Looks like someone has subscribed to the FSI blog.

Nice name “Diana” and the blame goes to the internet (firewalled )

Prisoner of bluetooth ?

There is a mention about the Manorama Vision Sting operation Camera team in the article, who once setout to prove that girls cant travel freely in buses and after 10PM.

So much for the emotional kinky bullshit. Let come to the technical aspects of the report. Read the following.

This is total nonsense. This is technical bullshit. But I wanted to be 100% sure, so I asked my friend Ajeesh to take a look at it and comment. He has been working on bluetooth for the last 3 years. And this is what he commented about the article.

I just went through the article. Most of the tech info in this article are false.I really dont think that some one can access your cell phone using their mobile bluetooth(i dont believe) and even i dont think that there is some device available to hack the bluetooth communication.

The simplest bluetooth connection is using Obex Push profile, and in this case also, client should accept the connection, otherwise we cant access client device.

In this article they are saying about bluetooth file transfer, which is possible only if both the devices are paired.

In file transfer, both connection uses a shared link and the link has a particular link key and link policy. Only those devices can know the link key and connection took place after providing a 16 digit pin number. Even bluetooth works using frequency hoping mechanism.

I didnt even heard about such a bullshit before. I downloaded some software which can be installed on mobile phones. They said that using this software we can hack into other mobile phones.. I tried it in my mobile phone.. no luck..

So we can conclude that around 99% of the tech information in this article is fake.. I think manorama has some allergic problem with new technologies like bluetooth, camera phones etc. Some people might be misusing it, no one can stop it. But bluetooth is a secure mechanism. To hack bluetooth, they surely need its developers help.. !!!
