Introducing Microsoft’s oPhone

image So who thinks of these parodies? I love it. This will be the next … Segway. I have a love hate relationship with all cellular phones. I’ve been an early adopter on so many phones that I can’t even name them all. And I think I’m cured of that because I’ve never been happy with the battery life of the high-end phones. Never.

Now, I don’t even wear a watch, have a minimalist phone in my pants pocket, and don’t carry keys for most things (replaced by key cards and other keyless entry systems.) This is a very happy thing, divesting one’s self of 15 lbs of crud. Next I wait for wallets to go away to be replaced by your biometrically verified and password protected thumb print. Your thumb print will be your driver’s license, soon to be replaced by US ID, passport, credit cards, phone number access code, house and car key.  :o)

    Oh yes.. to me there is nothing more irritating than how isolated the kids at the university and poor with face to face interactions. It is like no one can talk unless it is thru their cell phones.  To avoid feeling like they have to interact they throw up the cell phone shield. It will bites later I am sure.

    You like biometrics and RFID technology huh? My husband works in RFID, had meetings with Homeland Security in the development of the new passports (among other uses for RFID technology).
