Skype-OUTages

Skype-OUTages snapvoip.blogspot.com
Even though I have not been affected (I use skype from iPhone mainly) Skype is reporting outages. Starting from 29th (sign in problems and skype out), 30th had SIP channel subscription extensions problems and 31st seem to have brought in services problems. Growing Pains?
May be when my emotional shape changing  phone comes out, it will be able to report about skype heartbeat.
You can follow skype on twitter to findout about problems, status and solutions.

Emotional And Shape Changing Cell Phone!

Fabian Hemmert snapvoip.blogspot.com
Fabian Hemmert at TEDxBerlin is trying to solve the problem of emotional transformation of information by a cell phone in the following movie.
The prototype is capable of weight shifting and letting users know the directions as where to walk (may be while texting while walking!) and Shape Shifting could direct users to look up or to left/right to show information beyond the screen, like the store or address he/she is searching for. Then there is an emotional state that is transferred with a heartbeat or expansion or contraction depicting breathing.
Yes I want a breathing phone. Link after the jump
