Nokia 6650, Super 3G Phone

Ch_Omega writes "Nokia has announced the 6650, which in short, is the first phone ever to meet the 3G-standard! It combines GSM and WCDMA into a single handset, then throws in a VGA still camera and video camera with sound. More info on Infosync and and Nokia forums!"

    Then we can work on running out of ipV6 space. Each one of my socks can have an ip address! Where's my blue shirt? I'll just ping it!

    That will only tell you whether your sock has been destroyed. What you need to do is traceroute your sock.

    Then, nmap it, and find an exploit to get root@sock. Then install a sniffer to pick up nasty sock smell.

    It's okay, if you look at
    this
    you'll notice you really don't want to be anywhere near this phone. Apparently it's "connect anywhere / to anything" ability has rather a microwave-oven effect on the people beyond the lens of its camera.

  9. Don't sweat it. by theonomist · · Score: 4, Funny

    All the 3G in the world won't change the fact that 99.9% of cell-phone conversations are moronic anyway:

    A: Where are you?

    B: I'm on th' terlet, huh huh! Where're you?

    A: HOLY CRAP I'M ON THE TERLET TOO! What'cha doin', "number one"?

    B: Nope, "number two"! Plop, plop!

    A: HUH HUH HUH!

    B: I'm wipin' my ass now! I'm wipin', I'm wipin'! What'cha doin' now, huh? Huh?

    A: I'M WIPIN' TOO!

    Brief pause...

    A: You still wipin'?

    B: Nope, ain't wipin.

    A: So, uh, what'cha doin'? Where are ya'?

    Later, rinse, repeat...

    What we need, for example, is technology that will summarily strangle anybody who actually uses a cell phone. That, I think we'll all agree, will improve quality of life for everybody, just like Jesus meant for technology to do.

    Until then, I'll just go on tripping morons who walk down the street yapping into their fists and bumping into each other.

  10. Can I pay off my phone with p0rn? by ngoy · · Score: 3, Funny

    Everything invented now seems to be for the sake of p0rn or entertainment. Just think, these phone probably could be setup to send pics directly to webserver. And you thought you didn't have enough upskirt photos already. You could probably remote control these from a computer and set them up all over the place and take pictures every minute or so.

    Seriously though, there are two sides to this. You could be being watched at any point in time and not know it (well, we are right now but I mean up close), or this could be the start of a turning point in moving more countries in the world towards democracy. When you can't hide what you are doing to your people you tend to be a little more scared of doing something bad. What are they going to do, ban cell phones?

    Yeah, but Walmart sells socks for $1.00 per pair. At that price it's cheaper for me to buy new ones every week rather than launder them.
    so that's 25e27 pairs of socks before I run out, and that doesn't take skivvies into account!
