Homeless but Wireless

I took a short course on City Government at UC Berkeley recently and we had to create an individual research proposal that we felt would better the city. If you've ever visited Berkeley you've probably seen a lot of homeless people and you might question as why such a problem exist. A "light bulb!" and "Aha!" later I visited homeless shelters and spoke to staff and volunteers there asking them the crux of the matter as to why people are homeless. After sifting through various areas within the realm of homelessness I came upon homeless communication. I know it sounds crazy, why do you think I'm putting this out?

WiGab was "crunched" by IslamCrunch recently . We know what you're thinking and we say, there's nothing to worry about. Islam Crunch is a socially conscious site that informs readers on things tech, with and Islamic spin. Think a potential 1.6 billion market (well if everyone gets connected). That's huge! Our friend Mikael Pittam blogged about WiGab, which lists the 5 W's of Wigab: Who, What, When, Where & last Why.

iPhone Nano Prototype: The iPhone Range

Four weeks after its release and already there's talk about an iPhone Nano on the web. The whole thing started with a report by a JP Morgan analyst, Steve Chang, who claimed to have spoken to contacts in the "supply channel" as well as studied reviews of certain apple patents pointing to an iphone Nano. After that, the web's been speculating various scenarios as to what the new iPhone would possess. Magic touchscreen? iPod Nano dial? Some Naysayers, such as a report by JP Morgan a week later, directly conflicted with the earlier report. But here's where the truth lies.

Can you text 911 and other Emergency Services?

Do you know that current technology utilized by Emergency dispatchers, doesn't allow for emergency text messages? As of now emergency departments are still struggling to track cell phone calls so text messages are the next step. The question remains, why 911 text messages? To be honest, it leaves me wondering. If you're in a real life emergency, can you imagine sending an emergency text message about the situation? Not a very practical idea, but it may yet be useful in some situations where subtly is essential. But there are possibilities for more uses.
