GPS Cell Phone Tracking

admin

The development of communications technology has long outpaced the unique ability to access others when they are mobile. Today, mobile communication devices are becoming much more technologically advanced and offer more than just the ability to carry on a conversation. GPS cell phone tracking is one such advance.

GPS or Global Positioning System tracks your location by interpreting data received from 3 or more satellites. This has made GPS a popular feature in cars as a navigation aid.

All cell phones constantly transmit a radio signal, even when not on a call. Telephone companies have been able to estimate the location of a mobile phone for many years using triangulation information from the towers receiving the signal. However, the introduction of GPS technology in cell phones has meant that GPS tracking now makes this information much more accurate.

With GPS technology now more common in many new cell phones, this means that the location of anyone carrying a compatible phone can be accurately tracked at any time. Therefore, GPS tracking can be a useful feature for business owners and fleet managers who need to be able to track the movements of their vehicles.

GPS cell phone tracking can also be a useful feature for emergency services or law enforcement when responding to a 911 call from a GPS-enabled cell phone. For this reason, the FCC has legislated that wireless networks provide location information for 911 calls made from wireless phones. These are known as E911 calls.

As technology advances further, future features will become even more powerful. Imagine cell phones with GPS used as a navigation device. Based on the GPS tracking signal, they could be used to find your way to a location, calculate speed based on location change over time, from this calculate estimated time of arrival, suggest an alternate route, and even call by phone to the person you are calling. Let’s see with your ETA! Of course, car GPS navigation systems can already perform many of these tasks, however, it is the portability of mobile phones that makes them so useful for this technology.

GPS mobile phone tracking could also be used to locate the whereabouts of your children and offer protection to elderly relatives in case something happens and they need urgent assistance.

These features will help ensure the future of cell phones as a GPS tracking device that will bring benefits to everyone.

The mobile operating system war

admin

Stewart Brand, a famous American writer and editor of the “Whole Earth Catalog” has said “once a new technology passes you by, if you are not part of the roller of the current, you are part of the road”. Most mobile OS developers must have realized that this notion will hold true for them as well, and if they need to win this battle, they need to do something beyond their competitor’s imagination.

Before we delve into this mobile OS war, we need to know what an operating system is all about and what it has to do with the mobile device. An operating system is a connecting link between the user and the device. Here the device can be your desktop, laptop or even your mobile phone. The operating system is software responsible for controlling the hardware of your device. When the device is a mobile, the operating system is called the Mobile Operating System.

Initially, or only 10 years ago, mobile devices appeared on the market as a device to stay connected with your colleagues and supporters while on the go. Initially, mobiles were not equipped with all those latest technologies and features that we can see now. However, with the advent of 3G technologies, the way people communicate with each other has changed. Now, it is no longer just a device that allows you to have a voice with your colleagues and friends, but you can listen to music and songs, you can download and watch your favorite movies and videos, you can check and update your e-mails, you can use various Social networking sites like Facebook, Orkut, Myspace and most of all, you can do almost all of your internet related jobs.

Now the mobile has become a versatile device and a true friend that always stays with you. You can survive without your credit card, but imagine what will happen if you don’t have your mobile phone with you. You are physically paralyzed. Now a day, people are crazy about the latest versions of mobile devices that are equipped with new technologies and latest features and it has become a predilection for the masses.

This is the reason why various brands like Apple, Nokia, Samsung, Rim and Microsoft are in a mad rush to optimize and equip their mobile and mobile operating systems with the latest technologies and new features to attract the customers. The main brands and competitors that are in this race are:

• Apple-i-phone operating system

• Nokia-Maemo

• Samsung-Bada

• Google-Android

• Palm: Palm web operating system

• Microsoft: Windows Mobile

• RIM – Blackberry

The battle started 5 years ago when developers realized the potential market available in the field of mobile operating systems. Initially, there were very few companies in the mobile operating system market, and among them, Symbian enjoyed clear leadership with about 50% of the market. The rest, 50%, was captured by other players, including Apple with 13% and RIM Blackberry with 20%. But the real competition and struggle started in 2007 when Apple released a device with a combination of touch screen and streamlined interface based on smartphone platforms. This approach by Apple has changed the landscape of the mobile operating system market and all other companies wake up after receiving this hard kick from Apple.

Now, Nokia, Samsung, Palm, Microsoft, RIM are all in a mad race to equip your phone and mobile operating system with the latest technologies and unique features to stay ahead of your competitors. Finally, Google, the search giant, also entered the race with its long-awaited Android operating system to attract customers. Now the ball is in the hands of the consumer and companies will have to wait and watch to see which of these companies is accepted and which is rejected.

Ness Notes (February 7)

In Monday’s NBA, the 76ers went more than 15 minutes without an FG (0-for-19) in the second half and lost to Houston, 87-81. The Rockets are now 13-6 when both Ming and McGrady are in the lineup and could make the playoffs at the end of the season. New Jersey won its 11th straight home game (8-3 ATS) by beating the Hornets 99-91 and the Bobcats posted two straight wins (after 13 straight losses!), in a 119-106 win over the Sonics. . Golden State beat Denver 122-114, giving the Warriors their sixth straight win on point spread and handing the Nuggets their eighth straight ATS loss!

My bye is college hoops, Virginia over Maryland at 7:00 ET. In Tuesday’s NBA, I look to follow my Eastern Conference GOW winner last night in Washington (94-82), with my Western Conference GOW winner. In college hoops, it’s one of my exclusive Las Vegas Insider games, already off to a 2-0 start in February. Get them BOTH, right now!

Tuesday’s action is highlighted by Detroit seeking its 40th win of the season in a game at Atlanta (7:05 ET). The Pistons lost their last game and have yet to lose consecutive games this season. Atlanta is just 14-32 this year, but the team won just 13 games all of last year. Detroit is favored by 10 points with a total of 191.

The Clippers will attempt to go 12 games over .500 for the first time since the club has been in California when they visit the New York Knicks (7:35 ET). The Clipps have won eight of nine and outscored opponents by 11.9 PPG, while the Knicks have lost five straight and 11 of 12. LA is favored by seven points with a total of 197 1/2.

Dallas attempts its 12th straight win against the Lakers tonight (8:35 ET), which would be an NBA season high (Detroit also won 11 straight this season). The team has held all 11 opponents to under 100 points in the winning streak (allowing an average of just 87.5 PPG), a franchise record.

After going 9-6 in January with Kobe averaging 43.4 PPG, LA is 0-2 in February and has opened its seven-game road trip 1-4 SU and 2-3 ATS (0-3 SU and ATS the last three ). Odom and Mihm will most likely miss out again tonight, leaving the already skinny Lakers even thinner. However, the Lakers have beaten the Mavericks in both meetings this year. The Mavs (9-2 ATS during their winning streak) are favored by 10 1/2 points with a total of 199.

Gonzaga outscored St Mary’s last night 62-61, giving the Bulldogs a 35th consecutive home win, a school record. It is also the longest current home win streak in the nation and the team’s 10 consecutive total wins ties them with George Washington and Memphis for the longest current win streak in the nation. Gonzaga’s win gave them a 9-0 record in the WCC, leaving them as just one of SEVEN schools remaining undefeated in the conference.

Monday was a good night for the ‘losers’ as both James Madison (CAA) and Idaho (WAC) won their first conference games of the year last night. The Dukes won at home over Delaware (74-64) and the Vandals also won at home, 72-61 over Fresno State. That leaves just FIVE schools winless in conference play, one of which (The Citadel), is played tonight.

The biggest games for Tuesday are the ESPN doubleheader, which opens with No. 11 Tennessee at Kentucky (7:00 ET), followed by No. 2 Duke at No. 23 North Carolina (9:00 ET). ET). On ESPN2 at 7:30 ET, No. 4 Villanova plays St Joseph’s at The Palestra (in a Big Five battle). The No. 25 from Northern Iowa remained ranked this week (a first in the school’s 106-year history!), despite losing last week to Creighton.

The Panthers host Wichita State tonight (9:00 ET) and the 19-5 Shockers (seeking their third straight 20-win season!) are tied 3-way for first place with the Panthers and Blue Jays (Creighton) at the MVC at 10-3. No. Iowa is favored by six points with a total of 124 1/2.

Tennessee/Kentucky is the second most played rivalry in SEC history, with the Wildcats leading the series all-time, 137-62. However, while the Vols have lost six in a row at Lexington, they are the ranked team this year (16-3), while the Wildcats are just 15-7, having lost FOUR games at Rupp Arena this year. However, Kentucky is the favorite by 2 1/2 points (total is 152). No. 4 Villanova (17-2) and 10-9 St Joe’s are 3-0 this year over fellow Big Five members La Salle, Penn and Temple, but these teams are hardly the same as the Wildcats enter this game favored by 7 1/2 points with a total of 133 1/2.

ESPN’s Doubleheader Night Cup features Duke in North Carolina. Carolina is back in the top 25 after a two-week absence, but has already lost three times at home this year to Illinois, Miami-Fla and Boston College.

The 6-9 Tyler Hansbrough (17.8-7.6) is the best of the bunch. Duke is favored by five points with a total of 155.

Super Bowl Recap Part 1 (The Teams)

Pittsburgh finally earned its “one for the thumb.” The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-1) joined the San Francisco 49ers (5-0) and Dallas Cowboys (5-3) as the only five-time winners in Super Bowl history, with their victory over the Seahawks in the Super Bowl XL. Pittsburgh had won FOUR Super Bowl rings in a six-year span (Super Bowls IX through XIV) and the 26-year gap between Super Bowl wins is second-longest behind Green Bay’s 29-year gap between wins. Super II and Super Bowl XXXI.

Of course, everyone knows that the Steelers became the fifth wild card team to win (including the 1969 KC Chiefs as a wild card team) and the first No. 6 seed to win (NFL began its 12-team playoff format in 1990). What I find even more impressive, however, is that Pittsburgh won a Super Bowl title the year AFTER it finished with the best record in the league.

The Steelers were an NFL-best 15-1 in 2004, but lost to New England in last year’s AFC Championship Game. Knowing that teams that lose in the Super Bowl have struggled in the upcoming season lately (more on that later), I went back to 1990 and checked how the teams that finished with the best regular season record but didn’t win the Super Bowl that same year, did it in the following season?

The results show that the 2005 Steelers join only the 1997 Denver Broncos as teams to have won the Super Bowl the year AFTER finishing with the best record in the league (or tied for best) and NOT winning the Super Bowl. title. The Broncos finished the 1996 season 13-3, tied with Green Bay for the best record in the NFL that season, but while the Packers won the Super Bowl that year, the Broncos were upset in their first playoff game. 1996 (at home by the Jaguars who were underdogs by 14 points), 30-27.

However, the Broncos came back to go 12-4 in 1997 and as a wild card and No. 4 seed in the AFC, they captured their first Super Bowl, beating the Packers in Super Bowl XXXII, 31-24. In total, 13 teams (since 1990) finished a season with the best regular season record in the league (or tied) and did NOT win the Super Bowl that year. Only the 1996 Denver Broncos and 2004 Pittsburgh Steelers have won the Super Bowl in subsequent seasons. Denver in 1997 and Pittsburgh in 2005!

That brings me to Sunday’s Super Bowl losers, the Seattle Seahawks. Of the current 32 franchises in the league, 17 have won Super Bowl titles. Four pre-1980 franchises didn’t even make it to the Super Bowl, the Arizona Cardinals, the Cleveland Browns, the Detroit Lions and the New Orleans Saints. The Jacksonville Jaguars (1995) and Houston Texans (2002) have also never made it to the “definitive” game.

Seattle, making its first Super Bowl appearance in its 30-year history, now joins EIGHT other franchises that have made the ‘trip’ but not won. Of course, the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings ‘top’ this list with FOUR Super Bowl appearances each, but ZERO wins!

Will Seattle now be put to the test in 2006, by the ‘curse’ suffered by recent Super Bowl losers? Tennessee lost in Super Bowl XXXIV in St Louis, but came back in the 2000 season to finish with an NFL-best 13-3 record. The Titans lost their first playoff game that year, but they are also the last Super Bowl losers to post a winning record the following season!

The last FIVE Super Bowl losers have gone 31-49 combined in the following seasons, for a winning percentage of .388. The teams’ combined ATS records have been even worse, as they are 27-50-3, or a winning percentage of just .351!

My Super Bowl Part 2 recap covers Coaches Cowher and Holmgren, tomorrow.
