http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/08/14/nslasher14.xml Tyre-slasher targets drivers on mobiles By Stephanie Condron (Filed: 14/08/2006) A vigilante, who slashes the tyres of motorists who talk on their mobile telephones while driving, is being hunted by police. The so-called "mobile slasher" leaves an anonymous note made from letters cut from newspapers on the windscreens of the cars. The note reads: "Warning. You have been seen driving while using your mobile phone." Police are investigating a series of night-time raids in Hampshire after 20 motorists in Gosport, Lee-on-the-Solent and Stubbington reported being targeted. Officers believe the culprit may have been the victim of an accident caused by a driver using a mobile telephone. It is thought that he or she makes a note of an offender's registration, then somehow tracks them to an address where the car is vandalised. "Forensic specialists are in the process of examining these notes to gather potential evidence," said Insp Kevin Cuffe, the investigating officer. It is illegal to use a hand-held phone, even when stopped at traffic lights or in a jam.

http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/008729.php For their Metal Phone project Jack Schultze and Matt Webb (blogo-famous for their Availabot work) have been using a low-melting point alloy to cast and recast a mobile phone shell using only hot air or water. Metal Phone comes with a machine that melts and reforms a phone around the internals of a standard Nokia handset (the 5140i). The idea is to discuss the local factory angle of personalisation: Could purchasing a mobile phone be more like a performance of manufacture? Could it be more like a vending experience? Using the Metal Phone is not meant to be a piece of cake. The phone is really heavy because it’s mostly lead so you’ll need strong pockets to carry it around. The metal reduces the effectiveness of the aerial so you’ll need to be closer to the transmitter. If you leave your mobile on the dashboard of your car on a hot day, you’ll come back to find the components in a pool of liquid metal. It’s not advisable to hold the phone in your hands for too long because cadmium is present in a low concentration. The Nokia 5140i is an illusory object. Disconnected from the network when you’re underground, it becomes a lump of plastics and metals. Although safe in your hands, you wouldn’t want to eat the components. It, too, would lose its shape in an oven—in time, it would break apart anyway. Metal Phone seeks to undermine the current experience of choosing a plastic replica fastened by a security tag to the wall of a handset outlet. The machine represents a vending model for fabrication of the phone in-store, extending the production line to the buyer’s palm. Metal Phone proposes and experience when consumers witness and participate in the fabrication of their products through novel techniques at the point-of-sale and subsequently. Metal Phone is an extension of work for Chris Heathcote of Nokia, Insight Foresight Group (now NEXT) to develop prototypes exploring personalisation in mobile phones.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/27/nyregion/27schools.html During the final stretch of David Ritter's hourlong trip to middle school, he pulls a cellphone from his jeans and calls his mother in Washington Heights to say he is out of the subway and moments from the Salk School of Science on East 20th Street. "It's one thing I can cross off my list of things to worry about," his mother, Elizabeth Lorris Ritter, said. "It's a required part of our everyday life. We have a refrigerator, we have running water, we have cellphones." Cellphones are the urban parent's umbilical cord, the lifeline connecting them to children on buses, emerging from subways, crisscrossing boroughs and traipsing through unknown neighborhoods. Though the phones have been banned in New York City schools for years, parents say that many schools without metal detectors have operated under a kind of "don't ask, don't tell" policy, with the cellphones ignored as long as they do not ring in the middle of class. But as the city began random security scanning at middle and high schools yesterday in its latest effort to seize weapons, the gap between school rules and parents' expectations has set off a furor. Some principals recently sent home letters reminding parents that cellphones are not allowed, and at the one school searched yesterday, 129 cellphones were confiscated. Anxious parents say that cellphones are not a frill but the mortar holding New York City's families together in these times of demanding schedules, mounting extracurricular activities, tutoring sessions and long treks to school. Some of these parents, also fearful of child predators and terrorist attacks, say that sending their children to school without cellphones is unimaginable. "I have her call me when she gets out of school, and she's supposed to get on the bus right away," Lindsay Walt, an artist, said of her daughter, Eve Thomson, 11, a sixth grader at Salk. "Then I have her call me when she gets off the bus, and I have her call me when she gets in the house. The chancellor will have civil disobedience on his hands. No one in New York is going to let their child go to school without a cellphone." ----- etc etc etc as to how the lack of cellphones will lead to the breakdown of families and the modern way of life indeed a total dissolution of the western hemisphere if not the universe. sob sob sob. Yes, terrorists and predators are a legitimate concern, but, uh, three calls on the way home from school? Somebody needs to cut the apron-strings a bit and wean the kid from the teat. There's going to be muy therapists bills for these kids.
