Today’s Mobile Worker News Update January 26, 2012 is a post from: Blog of a Long Distance Worker Tech

Although seemingly a reasonable explanation, it is the first time that I have heard that O2 would be using this with ANYONE. Almost certainly I will find the clause buried down in my terms of use somewhere (still looking), but this is a shoddy and appalling lack of privacy and control around something that a few people (not me but I still don’t want to share it with web sites unless I choose to) keep VERY private. To not be expressly clear to the user or to provide a mechanism for blocking it is bad. I am reminded of an old Internet Explorer feature that had to be disabled very quickly in the 1990s whereby the browser would present the username of the logged in PC user to every website. The feature was useful in authenticating in a corporate environment but unfortunately they allowed presentation to every site – a horrible privacy AND security issue. The disabling came in to the user control through Security Zones but it was by default turned OFF. This is something that should be the case here.

We shall have to see how this issue progresses. Certainly I am thinking twice about having O2 as a service provider. I will also be more careful about my use of SIM cards from providers I am new to in the future, after all they could similarly do this.

O2 and its telephone number leak update is a post from: Blog of a Long Distance Worker Tech

This is a serious breach of privacy for any mobile phone owner as EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE that the subscriber visits via the broadband connection will then have a copy of the subscribers mobile phone number. No opt-in or opt-out. Also it is quite likely that this has been happening for many years, in fact it could be as old as 3G Broadband from O2. To confirm if you are affected, I suggest you visit a site that displays all of your headers and look for your phone number or other personally identifiable information such as http://www.cylog.org/headers/.

Right now O2 is scrambling to deal with this PR and possible legal issue. I am personally offended that they do this as well. However you need to think wider than this. O2 is not necessarily the only company doing this, nor does it have to be via the same HTTP request header. After all, that header is something that Openwave provides which can be being used by any mobile operator in the world. Additionally other mobile operator WAP gateways manufacturers can and do use different methods of doing the same thing. The result is that privacy can be being breached worldwide, whenever you use your 3G Broadband connectivity.

This means that not only can someone personally identify you very easily, they can pair the informaton directly with the IP address that you are operating on which will also allow the identification of where you are.

If you are interested in background as to what you can be sharing when using your Mobile Broadband connectivity, please look at these two sites http://mobiforge.com/developing/blog/useful-x-headers and http://www.mulliner.org/collin/academic/publications/mobile_web_privacy_icin10_mulliner.pdf.

Today’s Mobile Worker News Update January 14, 2012 is a post from: Blog of a Long Distance Worker Tech

The main thing that defines a laptop these days is how big it is, and the thing that defines that more than anything else is the screen size. It used to be the fact that every laptop had a 15” screen but the smaller device has grown more popular and it is easy to see why – what point is a mobile device if it huge, even though you can get 17” screen laptops that act as desktop replacements.

The big change tor many was the introduction of the ‘netbook’ which through in mostly 10.1” screens with some smaller ones at 8.9” or right the way down to the original EeePC 4G with 7”. These screens really made laptops extremely portable, and I believe it is the big reason for the growth in laptop ownership amongst ordinary people – as people saw that they could always have a laptop with then when it was a tiny ultra portable machine. However these screens are almost entirely only 1024×600 pixels in size which has been a major problem with Netbooks and I believe the main driver to their reduction in popularly in recent months (along with tablets coming to the fore of course). The problem being that applications expect a minimum of 1024×768 pixels or more specifically at least 768 pixels in the vertical.

In the last 18 months, screen sizes grew into the more manageable 11.6” to 13.3” size ranges and these have been mostly available in 1366×768 pixels in size (or the less popular 1280×800 or 1280×720). For the smaller screen this resolution is a very effective size but in my opinion way too small for the larger 13.3” size screens. Apple lead the way and the new Ultrabooks are following up by introducing 1440 x 900 pixels for these 13.3” sizes, and more effective number of pixels for these sizes.

The combinations of pixels and screen size actually points to the tradeoffs between portability and ensuring you have an effective screen size for applications. I find that for the ultra traveller you need to focus on having a small laptop which is why I have the 11.6” 1366×768 pixels based device and this is great on the go (can open when in economy on planes) and ok when I have arrived, particularly if I am a regular traveller and have organised a second monitor at my destination. I do however keep a 13.3” based machine running which works real well when combined with a decent 7” or 9” tablet for use when the 13.3” screen is impossible to use.

What about you?

The key problem is that when customers are looking for a general purpose computing solution, they are very happy with a full featured laptop and spending £200 to £400 is ok with them as long as it does have flexibility. Chromebooks do not have that flexibility and were being sold at the upper end of the price range that the vast majority of ordinary people want to spend. In other words, they are stupidly expensive and do too little.

The niche below the general purpose computing solution is being happily filled by most people by either smartphone or low cost tablet and ultimately Chromebooks will need to gain features that normal laptops have or they will disappear via a slow death in my view.

These lightweight laptops are chasing after the MacBook Air, trying to undercut Apple’s $1,000 price tag and add their own flair to the lineup of super-slim devices. Intel, the company behind the chips that make the devices “ultra,” has been pushing this newly named genre hard, announcing in its Monday keynote that at least 75 models are on their way.

Well iOS5 came along and it is true that you can activate the device without a PC and make use of iCloud to backup your content and do most things without a PC, but if you do not have a PC then you have lost much functionality for managing your content. Primarily the iPad (or iPhone for that matter) needs to connect to a PC over WiFi to sync content, particularly Podcast audio or video content, where you have to go and get it rather than have it delivered. Since last March, I have moved on Android devices to get that standalone device, and I can say I have pretty much achieved it as I have phone and tablet devices which auto subscribe to audio and video feeds, and give me direct access to home content via DLNA and access to files via online file stores such as Dropbox or Box. So Android of any sort above 2.3 gives you that PC-less experience that was so pushed last March by Apple and they have not yet succeeded in delivering.

I also have to say, I don’t think this sort of device is Post PC in the truest sense of the term – PC stands for Personal Computer. It has become a way of describing a device with a keyboard, a screen and a central processing box. I think the term has to be taken back to its original meaning -  a personal computer. In that context, my Smartphone is a PC device… my Tablet is a PC device… my Laptop is a PC device. Post PC devices are actually PC devices where PC stands for a personal computer device and they are all PCs.
