iPod Privacy

San Marco Poice arrested a man named Ron James Guzman and charged him for aggravated
Sexual Assault of Child and possession of child pornography on his video iPod. This crime can be sentenced to 40 years in prison. Personally I support a death sentence for this kind of crime.

Otherwise I just wonder how the investigation finds his illegal iPod content. Actually it seems many people concern about their content in video iPod may cause privacy problem.

In case of MP3 player, usually there is nothing to hide or to make serious trouble for privacy. Unless you pumped the volume up to crazy level, next man can't overhear what you are listening to.

But visual content is different. Of course watching porn at public space is sexual harassment. Especially mobile users in crowded commuting train concern about next guy who may be interested in your video iPod or mobile phone message. Frankly I have to confess my professional curiosity make me observe other travelers SMS sometimes in bus or train. Sorry!. So that's why privacy film to protect you from scratch and curiosity at same time is getting popular among commuters for privacy sake.

What if you lost your iPod or leave it on desk for a while, other people might intrude your privacy easily. 5th generation video iPod has lock feature as you can see in the picture above. It looks great but it is really annoying to use.

SO WHAT?
We need little more privacy in mobile video player such as video iPod than MP3 player.
Don't make me wrong but I understand a 30ies man watching "The Melancholy of Suzumiya Harumi" in metro subway train might looks strange enought to be misunderstood.
Anyway, if a police man wants to see your iPod, you need to show it to convince others that you are not a Hentai (a pervert in Japanese).

Bushman's Toilet

It is a toilet gear for traveller at Zanzibar, Kenya, Africa. It was installed when a safari camp is settled down at wild desert. If Nature call you, bring this shovel and walk out for a while as much as you find a place for private business. (Middle of desert or bush) Shovel up sand and make a hole. Refresh yourself. Arrange the hole and shovel up sand over a hole. Back to camp and stick it at as it were Of course, you may use a bottle of water instead of a toliet roll. It may be really rare experience for people. Human needs a private closed place for long time to do that. I can guess your smart ancestor would also try to find a quiet place as possbile to avoid interuption by a wild beast. The behavior, finding a place to excrete may be origin of individual privacy. People have to choose a place between privacy concern and security concern. I hope to use that shovel. It looks fun anyway. Special thanks: I found this photo from Meilan's blog .

Mobile Flirting (Part2)

Image
One day I spend my time with my new MacBook at Starbucks. Actually there is another people who use Macbook at the Starbucks located in Jungja-dong, Bundang, Korea. I just tried to search Bluetooth device nearby and found a girl's name who is seating behind me probably. I could know her name and her digital address. If I want to send a note, it is possible. You know, you can't do that through your mobile network. It can make a connection with any one in the world but it is useless to send a message to a girl overthere. A young saudi man actually use this Bluetooth flirting method to be connected with a girl. In kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there is cultural barrier between boys and girls. Even a religious police can arrest a guy who violate the rule of local culture. (I hope it is a joke) But it is about a human nature. A young man is designed to fall in love with a glance from a girl. Isn't it romantic or pathetic? Of course, you can just walk to the girl and ask to go out toge
