Because you probably have heard about the patent infringement lawsuit launched against Research in Motion (RIM), everyone will only have to suffer thru one RIM shot joke primarily aimed at musicians and those who listen to jazz. This is my list of 10 things 2do with your Blackberry if it does not survive the RIM shot from the lawsuit to turn the $300+ wonder device back into an ordinary phone, or whatever it's supposed to do now that I can't get my email on the fly. This is not a recipe for a piece of fruit although the thought of baking it in a pie and mailing it to the responsible party's does seem like a good idea.

1. Sell your Blackberry on ebay as a Treo with a model number that does not exist. I only got burned this way once, so don't think it can't be done. (I do not endorse or recommend this one! It's illegal.)

2. Just look at your Blackberry as a $300 smartphones/calculator with some extra functions - and go get another hand held PC.

3. Clean it up, put it back in the box it came in and give it to your boss - tell them it's an electronic rolodex/calculator with some other functions that they'll never notice anyway.

4. Give it to your teenager and ask them to figure out a workaround for your email access, in case the RIM shot workaround looks shot. (oops another bad joke)

5. Paperweight - had to say that one?.

6. Backup anything associated with Blackberry data and hire a software consultant to migrate everything to another platform. (We are talking 100's of millions of dollars)

7. Wait until the RIM shot goes thru for changing Blackberries to Redberries and then you will have a few more years before another patent lawsuit. (That extra RIM shot was not my fault)

8. Use it as a Bookmark for all the free books you have received on Blackberry Addiction.(see number 5)

9. Check yourself into H P's new state of the art 'Blackberry Smartphones Recovery' center in the Silicon Alley. After 1 week and a new handheld you should be cured of Blackberry Addiction.

10. Slowly pry you hands off your Blackberry and proclaim that you have no addiction and hope that the bad people in the lawsuits will go away.

Around 30 million PDA's were manufactured and sold world wide by the end of 2004. This huge number guarantees a large secondary market for PDA's, and a lot of bargains could be found among them. So if you're considering buying A PDA that was previously owned and used by someone else, you do have a lot to choose from.

Previously used PDA's can be divided into 2 groups : used PDA's and rectified PDA's. The used PDA's have been used by another party and are sold as-is. They may work properly, and they may not. The rectified PDA is usually sold by the manufacturer, and has some kind of guaranteed-to-work warranty. Rectified PDA's are all the PDA's a manufacturer or a supplier can't sell as new ones, for various reasons.

In this article we'll discuss the used PDA option and leave the rectified PDA option for another time. Buying a used PDA can be a good solution for anyone who wants to enjoy a PDA but doesn't want to shell out the full price of a new PDA.

Finding a used PDA online is easy. All you need to do is go to a site like ebay.com and look for PDA's. Before you go choosing your PDA at ebay, remember to do a few things:

1. Understand that the items on ebay may not be presented as they really are. You don't see the PDA with your own eyes. Remember to accept this fact, and the possibility for surprises when you get your PDA.

2. Do your won research and make up your mind as to the PDA model you want to get. DO this research before you go shopping, so you'll have a good background about which model you want, and what are the potential problems it has. You can also ask the owner if his PDA suffers from these problems.

After you do your homework, go to ebay and start looking around. If you're interested in a popular model, you will probably find dozens of sellers.

While you're on ebay, try to buy form a seller who has more than 50 feedbacks Bad sellers change their ebay ID to get rid if the negative feedbacks they got, so they will have only few feedbacks.

The pro's of buying a used PDA on ebay:

? Some great values available - especially if you look around long enough.

? Amazing amount of choices - dozens of sellers.

? Extra software and accessories may be included - ask them if it does.

? You Might be able to negotiate an even better price

The con's of buying a used PDA on ebay:

? Product may not be what was advertised

? Risk of product being "Dead on Arrival"

? Usually no warranty available

? Risk of not receiving PDA

? Possibly no support after sale

The advantages of buying a PDA on ebay are obvious, but the risks are notable, too. Before buying a used PDA, make sure you look at the option of buying a rectified PDA. IT will almost always cost more, but there is a chance of getting a better PDA for your money, as well as a warranty.

First I would like to stress I am condoning the art of hacking. Nor am I condoning the control and manipulation of the human race by way of frequencies interacting with the biological systems, which run the human body. We all know that the brain runs on chemicals and waves. We know from medicines, vitamins, alcohol, drugs and food intake that we can alter those chemicals. And most of us understand that brain waves are about allow for the process of cognition. The computers we use also run on frequencies which are use to hearing about for instance Pentium Chips running 1.2 GigaHertz. Cell phones run 800 MHz approximately. Also the power supply in a computer runs on a certain cycle creating another set of waves.

The brain waves run at 5Hz to 50Hz range generally depending on the content of things like caffeine. And the nerves and body signals also have ranges, here is some interesting information on that:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.f…2&dopt=Abstract

Now then if we take quartz crystals and put them in PDA devices, we could communicate to the bodies own system through the 8.0 KHz range:

http://www.cmac.com/mt/databook/crystals/smd/cx1_2.html

You can also put a thought into someone's mind through the waves and frequencies at this level with a little fine-tuning. Meaning you could communicate without speech. And this has uses in Space travel, Under Water Exploration and even in special teams, which need quietness to fulfill mission.

Now when someone is carrying a personal electronic device there are ways to get to these frequencies. One way is to find the difference between the two components of the device, for instance the motherboard and the CPU, and get that device to one of the numbers near or around 5-50 Hz or 8 KHz. This can be done by sending information or energy to the device from somewhere else. This can be done by first pinpointing the device by GPS or other line of sight means and then sending pulses to the device, which will boost or lower the devices output or by sending a signal to the device under normal conditions that the device uses to operate. Microwave, Terabeam, Sound, laser, etc. may all be used for such. Now then once you spike one of the components of the device close to the other components range and get the difference within the range of the human bodily functions frequencies you can then introduce the desired result. For instance put the person to sleep slowly by lowering the difference between the waves of the device. You could increase it causing anxiety and possible even introduce information into the brain. For instance, you could contact the brain and auditory function and say "Run" or "This is Allah, killing Americans is wrong, put down your weapon and return to your family and be a good father and knock it off."

We already know that wireless devices can be easily hacked into as we have been reading. For instance the new WiFi freedom also has associated flaws and potential risks. You might want to Google these companies also on the subject: Airdefense, Atheros, LXE, and Airmagnet.

HIPPA issues medical data could be at risk without scrutiny since Hospitals and First Responders must rely on mobile devices to help save lives and remain efficient in those times of critical need. The medical industry is certainly discussing the HIPPA issues with wireless mobility. How can they have the information rapidly available and also maintain complete privacy when the information goes over the airwaves?

As speed increases and add ons occur security issues need to be continually reviewed and upgraded procedures. Blackberry is concerned and diligently working on the problems. Other Wireless Security Issues Include some below and this is just the beginning really, after all we cannot even get rid of SPAM.

While tapping information from normal citizens you can see the problems. Then the people in the know will export the hacking technology and then the same companies working in defense will have these people employed there, then those people will teach others who are our potential enemies and then we are in trouble.

As this technology becomes more advanced it is quite possible to read people's minds, enter thoughts into their heads, put them to sleep, increase heart rates to non-possible levels, cause anxiety or disrupt nerve impulses and mobility. All by using their on board PDA, Cell Phone or other electronic device. It is even possible now to send information this way using the skull and jawbone as an antenna and the vibrations are picked up by the inner ear.

The PDA wireless device or cell phone is merely an amplifier and since it has it's own power source maybe used in such a way as these companies are discovering and consumers seem to be happy to use. By reducing the amount of energy in the device itself batteries will last longer since lower volumes will be needed. The energy could come from the sender entirely, therefore batteries draining are no longer an issue. If people have RFID implants they could hook themselves up to a machine at night running on 8Hz which could super charge their immune system along with a once per week tablet of super vitamin C with is said to be 100 times more potent than the Vitamin C Fred Flintstone Chewables our kids take. Having a pace making device to steady one's system while performing extraordinary tasks could be good for adrenaline burn on nerves, NASCAR drivers, Apache Attack Helicopter Pilots, Astronauts, etc. by stabilizing the body and allowing the mind to focus on the event in a clear headed way.

If an enemy set of troops has implanted RFID tags we could stimulate the bodily functions by way of external impulse waves and help them change their minds to fight. Therefore Blue and Red Force tracking issues would be in our favor even if they had identical systems which were bought by pirated software from the DOD by a rogue nation. We could disable and over power implanted devices and therefore they would show up as another color, the enemy would see it's "Blue-friendly" turn to "Red Bad-guy" and thus not know who is who and kill their own men or be so confused that they stopped giving orders of what to shoot at and in the confusion and hesitation you have the time on your side and all options meaning, a decisive victory is in sort order of said battle.

It may appear to be rather a difficult task to take control of a body, but really it is not since the body is merely an organic robot and it works on a set of principles. You only have to change those few things. When we recently discussed the use of Long-range wireless tasers for crowd control we could see what we are technologically advancing in this regard. We know that we can stop human armies by way of bullets, explosion, harmonics, microwaves. We can blind them, nuke them, sterilize them and even make them fall down and cry.

But using this methodology of using portable devices on that person, we could essentially control them by phone lines half way around the world. Once access is giving or even overwhelmed by electronic power you would have control of that person's thoughts, central nervous system and heart rate. An interesting concept in that a doctor could have a patient on the phone and stabilize their blood pressure, heart rate or even put in settings for super healing while they sleep. Or in the case of conflict you could bring an army to it's knees and completely immobilize it, put the rank and file into deep sleep, end the natural lives of those participating trying to kill you or make them think twice about what they were doing. This is not science fiction we are nearly here, we need to stay "Heads UP" on these issues.
