Google Now Wants Your Ideas And Opinions About Its Mobile Products

Guess what Google has now come up with. It has set up a new website that allows Google’s mobile product users to submit ideas for more such products and rate them as well. Google will compile all the results and use them as a resource to understand exactly what users have in mind, with a view to creating yet newer and better products for them.

So if you would love to make yourself heard, guys, just leave a comment on the Google Mobile Blog, letting them know what additional product or feature it is exactly that you would wish. The Google Product Ideas page is a nice interactive platform to put across your ideas and even share them with likeminded others. You can vote others’ ideas and get voted too. You can also participate in the Dear Google community and discuss and debate over others’ ideas.

What are you waiting for? Click on the Product Ideas page, sign in and express yourself!

“Curse of Silence” Kills All Inbound SMS/MMS on Nokia S60

Chaos Communication Congress with the help of an employee Tobias Engel has made known a new exploit on the Nokia S60; this “cursed” exploit will make any Nokia S60 device running versions 2.6, 2.8, 3.0, or 3.1 indefinitely stop receiving SMS and MMS messages. This new found exploit has been named the “Curse of Silence” and it’s been verified by F-Secure. What this barrier between your phone and SMS/MMS messages does is it starts by sending an SMS that begins with an email address that contains over 32 characters. Whoever commences the attack must also change the protocol identifier to internet electronic mail before sending.

The only way to fix this exploit once an attacker has sent it to your phone is by factory reset. This isn’t your average attack or software mishap on your cell phone, however, if you have any enemies in the tech community you might want to be a bit weary if your S60 device stops receiving messages out of nowhere one day.
