DrawBraille SmartPhone for Blind


Today when everyone is in rush of buying better smartphone from each other ,a new concept has came for BLIND people to have a SMART phone . This  concept design by Shikun Sun, an industrial design student at Sheffield Hallam University in England, the visually impaired could be included in this trend. The DrawBraille Mobile Phone is a cell phone that uses a braille board and finger pads that allow the blind to communicate efficiently.This design includes a book reader, text messaging, email, and even music capabilities
The DrawBraille Mobile Phone  comprised of 35 braille buttons in five rows. Since the main keyboard cannot hold the entire braille text, there are also raised “scroll up” and “scroll down” buttons for more options. The second ece is similar to the touch screen on many smart phones, but with a unique raised surface for information input. The user can tap and drag and even create their own shortcuts and words through a combination of commands.

This phone’s battery life can be measured on its side, with 5 raised dots each representing 20% of its juice that retract once their percentage is used up. I don't have any  news on the production of this super smart braille phone till now. Hope this will boon for visually impaired people

Create Alias email ID to fight against SPAM mail in YAHOO and HOTMAIL/OUTLOOK

Sometime we are compelled to give our email to someone we aren't eager to get any emails as junk. So also when taking part in a gift coupon scheme or while registering with websites. Usually, this leads to our inbox getting spammed. An alias email ID solves the problem.

 In Outlook, there is no need to create a new ID if you have a Hotmail, Live or MSN ID since they work on 1) Outlook. But if you want to create an Outlook alias,
2) Click on 'gear' on top right
3) Go to 'More mail settings'
 Under 'Managing your account', go to 'Your email accounts'. You will see an option 'Create an Outlook alias'.

A new folder for the alias ID will be created. Since the alias ID resides within the primary one, you can't login with it. You can send email from an alias ID, 10 of which can be created per year.

Creating one in Yahoo Mail
1)  Click on 'gear' on top right, go to 'Mail options'
2) Click on 'Disposable addresses'.
3) Create a 'base name', which is common to all disposable addresses, which are created by adding keywords. Like in Outlook, a folder for the disposable address can be created. Keywords and base name can be deleted easily.

Unfortunately Google Gmail service doesn't have such feature to create email Alias
