Slightly related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqgMIRF7acw. On a more serious note it will be interesting to see if it works considering France has been thinking of scrapping the 35 hour work week.
Some phones used to have infrared receivers and they sucked. The bandwith was awful and establishing a connection required multiple attempts at keeping the phones steadily next to each others with the receivers/emitters facing each other. Even the camera is way better than that. Bluetooth or nfc might be more promising though.
Since the lock will probably be in motion when not not in use, couldn't you just use some kind of kinetic charging mechanism to charge the battery? Is kinetic charging not enough powerful? Or is the circuitry too complex?
Nice idea, but I don't really like the in-call style header visible everywhere. I believe there is no way to make it work without it without jailbreaking?
I'm from Finland, from what I have heard and seen about the government funding companies is that they usually fund companies with a clear plan and with founders with a lot of experience in their field (that is have worked their whole life in the field/phds).
We will be using Paymill for our upcoming project. We haven't yet gone live, but the api was very easy to use and it seems to work very well. One downside for us is that they only accept Visas and Mastercards.
ok, without your website I wouldn't have figured out how to clear the canvas and while trying I only found out how to save the picture. I actually went back to the website to figure it out. Another thing i couldn't find is an eraser. If you screw up a tiny detail you have to start over. But I like the concept of quick ideas scribbled on anything you can get your hands on.
Paying 50$ a month for unlimited 3G is just outrageous. Here in Finland you get half a mb a second starting at 5€ a month. The fastest plans go at 15-20€ a month or something like that.
From the tax money they would pay only a very little part would go towards their community and employees. Most of it would be wasted on a lot of nonsense. If their goal was to make the world a better place it would be a lot more efficient to take the matter in their own hands and use their money directly on stuff they think should work better. States and governments are hugely inefficient.
