Firefox OS is a new open operating system for smartphones developed by Mozilla. Built entirely using HTML5 and other open Web standards, Firefox OS is free from the rules and restrictions of existing proprietary platforms. Having another OS for mobile phones is great news. Oligopolies are not a healthy way to increase the benefits of the users. When there are only a few companies the technological progress is usually slow. We remain to see how the markets will react to Firefox OS.

Firefox OS is available to buy from Movistar stores in Spain, Venezuela and Colombia. You can also purchase through T-Mobile stores in Poland.

To date, 17 operators spanning the globe have committed to distributing Firefox OS devices: América Móvil, China Unicom, Deutsche Telekom, Etisalat, Hutchison Three Group, KDDI, KT, MegaFon, Qtel, SingTel, Smart, Sprint, Telecom Italia Group, Telefónica, Telenor, TMN and VimpelCom.

Let’s see when Firefox OS Phones will be available for the rest of the world.

I was very much interested in reading – at ScientificAmerican.com (May 7,2008) – two different studies confirming that the use of mobile phones affect our brain waves. The study by the Brain Science Institute, Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia showed that, when a cell phone was transmitting, it boosts the alpha waves (8-12 Hz). The other research by the Loughborough University Sleep Research Centre in England showed that a cell phone, when transmitting, dampened the delta brain waves (1-4 Hz) for nearly one hour after the phone was shut off. The test subjects had been sleep-deprived the night before. They could not fall asleep for nearly one hour after the phone had been operating without their knowledge. (More on the actual article can be found at http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=mind-control-by-cell)
These findings, in my opinion, are astonishing. I kept wondering how much the electromagnetic waves were affecting our health and our mental status. Our problem with the cell phones is that we carry them all the time around and we can no more function without them.
