Mobile Tickets

[Archived in Entry, Mobile Pda]

Josh on 2003/11/08:

  „What if a company offered to send an encrypted copy of the receipt to your mobile phone/PDA/etc? There would be some basic metadata available to read so that you knew when/where you bought the item(s) but everything else would be encrypted. Then if you needed to take something back, you would either send the receipt back to a special address or use Bluetooth to transfer the file to the cash register.“

Pia Shareholders Meeting

  „So in addition to new markets through digital tickets and web pages I think that switching to more efficient technologies can greatly increase their earnings.

The Source of Cell Phone Annoyance

  „Last week we noted a new study saying that people get annoyed with others talking on mobile phones because they only hear one half of the conversation. At the time, I wrote that this made sense as periods of silence followed by talking are a lot more jarring to the passive listener. However, this BBC report claims that the reason for the annoyance“

iTunes Hacker on Australia's "DMCA"

  „Bringing such laws to Australia is not necessary. The laws have [proven] useless in stopping copyright violations, but rather, have been used as a device by the media giants to maintain and increase their monopolies."“

system

  „Communication with the server can be encrypted with SSL. Security is task-based making it intuitive and easy to apply the appropriate privileges to content (project, page, section, individual item) as it is created (or changing it later) giving control over even single items (example) in a page. Security is also very easy to administer and a large part of Unite-it administration can be delegated to users, adding greatly to the flexibility and efficiency of the system.“

BrainStream: BrainDump: Digital Convergence scratchpad

  „A brief intro to the below unintelligible jabbering: I have recently started getting involved more in the semantic web community - specifically the development of the FOAF or "Friend Of A Friend" RDF metadata schema.

In the binary tree distribution technique, key updates need only occur along the chain leading to a party that leaves the session.“
