Going the 3G Way? You might need to think again
While th 3G Launch of Major operators in India is just a couple of weeks away, we've got some bad news on 3G here. Once it's here, more than one crore people are speculated to use 3G and so are their brains to get damaged. Though the rest of the world has been exposed to these stronger radiations for years now, for India, it is now a new threat for us.
Recent reports reveal that the population using 3G Services is likely to be affected by cancer and neuro-phsychiatric problems in the next two years due to exposure to harmful radiations, which are 20-15 percent stronger, with 3G coming in.
Children below the age of 16 are the most vulnerable to this and are prone to brain cancer five times more than the adults, recent studies by the Electircal Engineering Department at Indian Institute of Technology reveal. And, children will be the most fascinated by video calling as soon as it's here, which leaves the worst choice for our Indian kids.
They run the risk of developing neuro-psychiatric problems, including headache, memory loss, diz ziness, tremors, muscle spas ms, numbness, altered reflexes, muscle and joint pain, depression, and sleep disturbance. More severe reactions include seizures, paralysis, psychosis and stroke, says the study.
The results of the study have been presented to the Telecom Department and no word from them have been received yet.

Keep Your Passwords Safe on a Piece of Paper
If you use the same password on multiple websites, your may be in for some trouble.
Say your password for website badwebsite.com is the same as the password for goodwebsite.com. Now if the website badwebsite.com gets compromised (or the owner is malign to start with), they'll know your password. Chances are that your username is the same (email address) for both websites so the badwebsite.com people can can easily log in to yourgoodwebsite.com account and impersonate you.
Yeah, there are quite a few reliable Password Managers that serve as a strong room for your complex passwords but that they require you to install specific software on the computer. What do you do when you want to check your web email on a different computer where you do not have your security tools installed and you do not remember your secure, random, email password?
In addition, I doubt you can memorize all your passwords for each and every website, if they are secure from brute-forcing and unique, that is.
Write your passwords down on a paper
What I am trying to solve is to give users a simple way of generating strong passwords unique to every website they visit using just a piece of paper, credit card-sized, that you can carry in your wallet.
What you need is just a piece that has a unique (per card) combination of secret letters to help you create a unique password for each website. You may use the RAND() function in an Excel spreadsheet to generate unique password cards.
To create a password, take each letter of the website you want to create a password for and then take the corresponding code from the table. For example, if you want to create a password for www.amazon.com, it would be:
1st letter is a –> a (Column 2, Row 1)
2nd letter is m –> jv (Column 7, Row 2)
3rd letter is a -> AN6
4th letter is z -> xs7
5th letter is o –> enb
So the password for your Amazon website becomes ajvAN6xs7enb.
You can optionally (make sure you do this with all your passwords) intertwine the generated password with a memorized password – it could the city name where you were born, your childhood hero, name of your favorite author or anything memorable.
For instance, if you were born in Philadelphia, the password for Amazon.com would be ajvAN6xs7enb intertwined with Philadelphia: PahjviAN6lxs7aenbdelphia. This would ensure that your identity consists of something you know (Philadelphia) and something you have (the paper password card).
Even if a malicious administrator of website badwebsite.com retrieves your password for that website, they cannot impersonate you on say PayPal or Amazon because you aren't reusing passwords anymore.
It is a bit cumbersome to use if you had to use it to type in passwords each time, but when used in conjunction with your everyday "remember password" feature found in every browser, you get extra security at the cost of just tiny real state in your wallet.

The Truth Behind 8 Cell Phone Myths
| |
| The Truth Behind 8 Cell Phone Myths Posted: 19 Feb 2010 07:20 PM PST Written by cellphones.org The internet is rife with rumors about the miracles of cellular technology, as well as the dangers. Depending on who you believe you may be carrying around a miracle tool or a death trap in your pants and Lord knows that's a lot of stress for one person to deal with. Best to get to the bottom of things and separate truth from fiction.
1. Your cell phone can unlock your car No one seems to know where this story came from, but it's been circulated in a number of emails. The basic idea is that you're out and about and in your frenzy to get things done, you lock your keys in the car. Crap. But, being clever and knowing you have a spare set complete with keyless entry at home, you call home and have someone press the button on your spare set to unlock your car over the phone. The signal goes through the phone, to your car and you're driving again. Now that's crafty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bjQMzI9m5w So popular is this myth that the Mythbusters themselves had to test it. Guess what they discovered… you're going to be pointing your phone at your car for a long, long time. The problem is the phone uses an audio frequency while your keyless entry is on a much higher radio frequency. Which is to say you're dealing with apples and oranges and once that keyless frequency hits your cell phone, it's not going to get translated through to the other side at the same frequency. So no, you can't unlock your car with your cell phone, unless you plan on using it to break a window.
2. Cell phones cause gas pump explosions This winner has become so ingrained in our minds that gas stations actually have signs asking you to not use your phone while at the pumps for fear of a massive fireball of death and destruction, all because you needed to say goodnight to grandma. But when's the last time you saw this happen on the news? As it turns out, in the entire history of the entire world, there has never been an incident where someone blew themselves or any gas stations up with a cell phone. It's a complete fabrication. According to Snopes, the story just showed up one day in 1999. And every time it got mentioned, they said the explosion happened somewhere else. So basically it's a friend of a friend story, only in this case the friend is an explosion, and no one's ever seen it in person. The Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association and the American Petroleum Institute both agree that phones just don't blow things up and they've never seen any evidence to suggest they do. Any news reports that have attributed fires to the use of phones were later proved false when someone, you know, actually looked for the real cause.
3. Cell phones cause deaths in hospitals Similar to no phones at the gas pumps, most hospitals have signs in place telling you to turn off your phone. While some have phone use in designated areas which us regular folks assume must be lead shielded rooms or some such, other hospitals ban them altogether. The fear is that cell phone signals may interfere with the machines being used to keep people alive. There are even reports that the use of cell phones in hospitals has been a contributing factor in the death or serious injury to patients as a result of machines malfunctioning, delivering incorrect amounts of medication and so on. However, the FDA has no information whatsoever on cell phones causing any deaths in hospitals the FDA has no information whatsoever on cell phones causing any deaths in hospitals, nor has any medical journal mentioned it. Reports that cell phone interference has caused incubators, heart monitors and IV pumps to go all wonky are the main cause behind the cell phone bans in hospitals, however the evidence for these is also sketchy. Just what is it that would cause the problem, anyway? In 2007, the Mayo Clinic decided to do a study to see what the effect of cell phone interference was, so they used phones near 200 different pieces of hospital equipment. The end result was that the observed no clinically important interference at all. So are you safe using a phone in a hospital? Probably, just keep in mind that if they have signs up and you refuse to put the phone away, they can and will have security take you out. In 1998, a man in Massachusetts was pepper sprayed for not hanging up. Probably best just to leave a message and call back later.
4. Cell phones cause cancer This is the biggest one you're going to find online with the most confusing answers. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of websites that will assure you that cell phone use leads to brain tumors. Dr Vini Khurana, a reputable neurosurgeon who trained at the Mayo Clinic, even wrote a paper back in 2008 that said cell phone usage caused more cancer than smoking or asbestos. If you just said "holy crap" you're well within you're rights, as that's a pretty damning statement. But there is a but. According to the World Heath Organization, and more than 30 other scientific reviews, cell phones do not pose a cancer risk. And, apparently, Dr. Khurana's work had not even been peer reviewed when it was released. In a nutshell, cancer is caused by DNA mutations. Some kind of radiation or chemical has to break down chemical bonds in our cells that lead to mutation. But the radiation from a cell phone, the electromagnetic kind which is released by all kinds of electronics, is not strong enough to strip away electrons or break down chemical bonds, at least according to most scientists. So cell phones just physically can't cause cancer. But why do people think they do? Nearly every study on the link between cancer and cell phone use takes the time to point out that will no link is found, the risk of long term use requires further study. Meaning that we found nothing, but if we kept going for a few years, maybe we would. And leaving the door open like that has let people who are primed and ready to panic over their ear growing a second head walk right in.
5. Your cell phone can set you on Fire Probably one of the last things you want your phone to do is spontaneously combust, especially if it's in your pocket or, you know, against your head. For the most part we like to think there are hard working men and woman out there ensuring that the products we use from day to day just don't do that. And while most things are pretty safe, very few things are 100% Back in 2004, a teen in California was walking with her phone in her back pocket when, as witnesses say, it made a woosh sound, bulged a little, then spewed forth fist-sized flames. The girl suffered 2nd degree burns. So how could such a nutty thing happen? An overheated battery. Kyocera issues a recall of 140,000 batteries and the Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued recalls as well for certain batteries that can short circuit, overheat and, yes, burst into flame. There have been other reported incident of phones bursting into flames while charging as well and though it's rare, it actually can happen, though it seems to have been the result of poor quality batteries more than your phone angry at the poor grammar used in texting as you might think
6. Your phone can spy on you This one has been a favorite of conspiracy nuts for the last few years, the idea that the government can tap into your phone and use it to track your whereabouts, or ever turn on the microphone and listen in on your conversations, whether or not you're using the phone at that moment. In fact, it's true that the FBI has used this technique, calling "roving bug" to eavesdrop on criminals, like in New York when it was used as a surveillance tool in an organized crime investigation. Traditional wire tapping of land lines is a bit too old school and criminals are on to it, so the FBI had to adapt. Since many phones will never fully power down unless the battery is totally removed, a cell phone is a perfect wireless transmitter for law enforcement to tap into, and it still falls under the purview of existing wiretapping laws. In other cases, though judges are have batted the attempts down due to a lack of probably cause, law enforcement has attempted to get access to information about cell phone use – locations of cell towers that took calls from individuals, strength and angle of signal and timing of calls, which would allow them to approximate the location of an individual. You've seen it in television and movies before and, for all intents and purposes, it's fairly accurate. With access to cell company records, you could be tracked in real time based on your cell phone usage, or even just having the phone on and in your possession.
7. Your cell phone can explode If you're the kind of person who figures a cell phone fire is no big deal, you may be more inclined to be slightly nervous of cell phone explosions. After all, fire can be our friend and let us roast weenies and such. Explosions just suck, by and large. Back in 2007, word came out of Korea that a man who had his cell phone in his shirt pocket died when the phone blew up, sending shrapnel into his heart and lungs. Last year in China, a man died shortly after changing his phone battery when the same thing happened. It was the 9th recorded phone explosion in the country over a seven year period. In one incident, a man working in an iron mill died when it was determined that the heat of the mill caused the liquid in the battery to overheat and blow up. So it may be rare, but it can happen. Let that be a lesson to you, never expose your phone to molten metal.
8. Cell phones cause infertility Potentially the most horrible rumor of all, at least for some people, is the one that says cell phones lower your sperm count. And apparently it's true. Research conducted at the Center for Reproductive Medicine at the Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio suggests that there's a chance using a cell phone is bad news for your boys if you're the hands free type who keeps the phone in your pocket. Long term exposure to all that electromagnetic radiation so close to the goods may lead to an increase in body temperature. And that can effect sperm count as well as mobility and shape. The jury's not out, of course, and odds are you need to be doing a lot of talking with the phone in your pocket, but probably to be on the safe side you could keep the phone over a couple of inches or two. You never know.
