Behold! Telecom prepaid operators, you have a new business opportunity!

athlon3ghz — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 07:47:28 +0000

I was watching an indian cellular company add yesterday. It was about a new (although absolutely worthless) Value-Added Service. This cue was enough for “BrightIdeas Machine” aka my mind to churn out another Idea. I have read and heard about newsalerts thru SMS. I was thinking if I were a businessman dealing in stocks what good would an SMS indicating a new fluctuation in my concerned stocks be?. The answer is quite usefull , but than just knowing about lets say a sharp decrease in stock price or a steep increase is worthless untill I can act upon it. Any person who does online trading needs a browser which is trading application complaint an internet connection and has to pay for the shares or transactions. If we pay attention thanks to rapidly advancing cellular scenario we have all that and above that the pre-paid users also have buying power (inform of pre-paid credit) . The telecom companies have all the information required to legalize any transaction , they can even have some service charge per transaction and a PIN could secure users from unauthorized use. Now the better part what if we generalize this SMS trading to mobil-Shopping where ppl could actually use there pre-paid credit as a sort of debit card or even as a credit card (for post-paid customers). A strategic tie-up with any bank can channelize the payment to the seller from buyer’s prepaid or postpaid credit.

Do you go off the way?

The reasons for declining goodness in society might be attributed to dwindling norm (at-least in our part of the world) of going off the way for helping someone. how many times in recent past do we remember being of assistance to someone when there is a clash we our regular schedule. I don’t think we would even require the help of all fingers to count that. We all long for happiness , but don’t indulge in true happiness how sad!

Knowledge

Those who don’t have it , think they have it all

Those who really have it , know how little they know

Do I really know any thing worthwhile?

A trip to Copper Kettle Gulshan

athlon3ghz — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 08:23:34 +0000

Karachi is truly a multi-every city . I mean everything is so un monotonous(or non monotonous). The table which we got was surrounded by peple for every background. We (like everyone thinks of themselves) were moderates, in front of us were people( or girls ) who had mistaken Copper Kettle for a glitzy fashion show in paris. Next to them were a family that had all the symtoms of the masjid-hafsa gang. And in the corner was a table occupied by 4 teenaged boys who had satisfaction dripping from there faces ,not becuase the 450/ per head buffet was worth every penny but because those girls were seated right in front of them.

How to get Rid of the Beggers!

Haha you had to be there when it happened.

Those nosy beggers! I hate them , especially those which have there abhorrent makeup of faces to depict some gruesome disease or mishap.

One of the girls which had this makeup was constantly annoying me for weeks. yesterday during her routine act of annoyance she it took a bit further and kept on knocking my door , I was in a good mood listening to Atif aslam and did something really funny. I point my camera-phone on her and it was like lightening had struck her she ran cursing me and not just that she gathered other and they all fled to the other side as if they would be turned to stone if they even looked at me. This media revolution has really terrified all sorts of cheats/thugs out there. My guess is they might have thought that I am a journalist from Geo’s reality talk show or something.

Some Good Bluetooth Use

athlon3ghz — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 05:07:12 +0000

Ah Streching my creativity muscles after a long pause. Last Friday During the Juma prayers the Public Address System just broke down , deafening silence followed and then (though I should have been concentrating on my prayers) another BrightIdea just poped in my mind.

I observed that every 3rd or 4th person had a bluetooth enabled set. These days new sets support A2DP(or something) setereo stream to bluetooth headphones. Since bluetooth is a communication protocol there must be a way to broadcast message from a single source to multiple destinations and there you go an ultimate public address system thru which conversation can be heard far more clearly , free of cost and most importantly without collateral noise polution..

Having the gutts to cheat in broad daylight is turning out to be a common feature these days. I knew the second I took a bite of the chicken that it was no where near the original recipe. Now the papers have it a huge dis-claimer from the saudi food chain it self. phew!

Me and My Stupid honesty

athlon3ghz — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 14:04:50 +0000

Yet another interview that went down the drain. I wonder why do people knowingly ask questions that they know that a candidate would have to lie to please them questions like “Will you leave us if competitor offer you XXX amount” or “How much can you sacrifice for us when it comes to studies”. Either I need to get my views straight or they world should straighten up. The Former looks impossible so I guess the world will eventually tune itself to my wavelength

Revolutionary way of Video Conferencing

athlon3ghz — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 06:33:15 +0000

Ok I had locked this idea in my pandora’s box for years. Video conferencing/streaming has alwayz been the ugliest punch of the heavyweight internet against traditional communications and entertainment mediums. I still wonder whether what I think has already been implemented some place in the world or not. my idea is to have a character’s photo posture having different syllabals ,etc ( I know it might be time consuming for the first time but then upload all that information in to a central database and use in a similar fashion as MSN or Yahoo sign in) then have you software sense the inputs thru the camera and identify the particular gesture with the database ID and have it beemed to the other end instead of the whole frame. having a huge gesture profile of 100s of users the newer version might be able to tweak the software to such a extent that training wont be necessary plus a generic profile to super impose your latest appearence and have an incredibly low bandwidth requirement for video streaming.

CMON google / Microsoft / real / Sun etc whether are your grab this diamond

Student Life Colleague X00C

athlon3ghz — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 19:32:12 +0000

These days its hard to find humans who have (net) good qualities. Fortunately I am one of those who benefited from this character alot. The reason why I am mentioning X00C in this blog is to tell the world that being nice comes at a price. There had been multiple occasions where I realize that this person had done harm to one’s ownself in order to benefit other , now whether this was out of sainthood is debatable I concluded that I should categorize him under the category of ppl who lack the ability to boldy say No. I do pray that sooner him gets this ability the better..well not for the mankind but for own self.
