A Brighter Future for the Web!

Wanna know what this is all about?

Well it's about the new Firefox OS (operating system) for mobiles!

Mozilla is introducing it this July.

Now I am a fan of Mozilla, their innovation, and their efforts to provide products without the restrictions of other competing products,

Firefox OS is the first web based mobile operating system and it’s designed to give more people access to the Web from more places and in more ways than ever before. 
Built entirely using open standards (as Mozilla says), Firefox OS is free from the rules and restrictions of existing proprietary platforms (also, as Mozilla puts it).

And that's not all!

Mozilla also announced the first smartphones to run using the new Firefox OS, the ZTE Open and Alcatel One Touch Fire. 

You can read about the new two phones here on Mashable, or through the following link:

Happy 40th Birthday Cell Phones!

Can you believe that?
The first cell phone call was actually made 40 years ago (April 3rd 1973).

When were you introduced to cell phones?
I remember I bought my first cell phone on April 2001,
That's 12 years ago. I remember it was a dark blue Siemens A35 model (Siemens Cell phones division is closed now).

Ever since then I could not live without  a cell phone, in fact, there was a time when I carried a bunch of them around!

I remember how expensive cell phones, and SIM cards were at the beginning of their introduction.
Look how cheap, and spread they are.

Such technologies sometimes makes you ask, how did we live before Cell phones and the internet??

If you would like to read more about the anniversary, check out Mashable's article here.

Let's hear your thoughts.

The man in the picture is Mary Cooper, the Motorolla employee who made the first Cell phone call back then.
