Just recently at the MWC (Mobile World Congress), Kingston unveiled their latest memory / flash drive related invention – the DataTraveler Micro Reader. As you would probably have imagined from its name the DataTraveler is a simple, lightweight USB tool which aims to help increase flexibility in data transferring between your mobile phone and computer.
With most phones nowadays using micro flash memory cards, the DataTraveler supports exactly just that, popular formats including microSD, microSDHC and Memory Stick Micro (M2). Not only is the DataTraveler just an adapter / tool for transferring data, it also offers you its own storage capacity of up to 4GB, very handy!
One problem that many iPhone users have noticed after the recent 1.1.3 firmware / software upgrade is poor signal, low and/or continuously fluctuating signal strength no matter where you might be positioning your iPhone – resulting in poor reception and calls being unexpectedly dropped. It seems that this does not apply to a large majority of 1.1.3 firmware / software iPhone users, but certainly a significant number enough to raise awareness of its problem, the problem itself is also not limited to 1.1.3 firmware users on non-jailbroken iPhones but also those with iPhones that have been jailbroken via whatever method available.
Hopefully the following tips may be worth trying in order to help restore your iPhone’s proper signal, at least near where it should be. We certainly don’t understand why it is behaving the way it is, but the signs of the problem are mainly:
- Signal dropping suddenly to zero or very low without any warning
- Or the display of the message ‘Call failed’
- And most annoying and frustrating of all: the signal coming back straight after a phone call which was experiencing poor signal reception (we experienced this quite a few times!)
So after trying out some of the methods suggested by both iPhoneHacks and iPhoneAtlas we felt the below methods are worth trying.

Here’s a video from someone who will show you how to get electricity just by doing some DIY, the power generated is of course free because it’s coming from absolute thin air!
I’m not really in the position to comment on the mechanism of how this actually works, neither am I great at DIY, but the video is quite interesting, because the guy in the demonstration actually generates enough voltage to charge his Nokia 3300:
If you understand this more than I do, please do offer some explanation in the comments, thanks!
We all know that the Nokia N95 can perform, just recently we showed its ability to act as a remote control for toys but now that Nokia has published a press release that the N95 will be the first mobile phone to gain DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) certification, we would like to show you a video that demonstrates exactly just that:
The Atlas Kinetic Cell Phone is not about how advanced your phone is, what fancy functions it’s got or how good the camera is, it’s about making technologies greener for our environment. Like watches which uses a dial to power oscillating weight to power the mainspring in order to work, the Atlas Kinetic Cell Phone uses a very similar concept.
It’s made of aluminum and glass and the central sapphire glass (as pictured below) reveals the generating and charging unit.
I’m certain any regular internet user will have experienced or tried using BT at some point. But we all know that there is a risk involved, however BT offers so much that it is sometimes too tempting! A common question is how anti-p2p outfits trace and trace file-sharers in order to send infringement notices? Thanks to Dan Morrill, a Security Project Manager with VMC Consulting in Redmond Washington, a short video illustrating how this is done has been produced.
Dan’s example involves him downloading a large file with the popular Azureus client, while giving a commentary on the various types of information offered by the client, a brief overview of how BitTorrent works, how it’s possible to be tracked and how the gathered information could be processed. He also touches on anonymity and the use of blocklists.
