[description], Story, any other text you want to use. Finally… A Finger Fone! by: Glenn Murray Maxwell Smart look out… the Finger Fone is here. Japanese telecom giant, NTT DoCoMo, has developed a real-life finger telephone they call "FingerWhisper". Just stick your finger in your ear! Due for release in 2005, the phone consists of just a wrist band – just like a watch. Instead of an audible ring tone, the band vibrates when you have a call. To answer incoming calls, you just tap together your index finger and thumb, and speak into the in-built microphone. And here's the best bit… To listen to the person on the other end, simply stick your finger in your ear! The wrist band unit send vibrations up your hand, and into the ear canal. According to NTT DoCoMo, FingerWhisper "points the way to a world full of wearable interfaces". So, be careful scratching your ear… You never know who you might be dialling!

streaming multimedia
Until recently, people used a technique called symmetric key cryptography to secure information being transmitted across public networks in order to make streaming multimedia shopping more secure. This method involves encrypting and decrypting a streaming multimedia message using the same key, which must be known to both parties in order to keep it private. The key is passed from one party to the other in a separate transmission, making it vulnerable to being stolen as it is passed along. With public-key cryptography, separate keys are used to encrypt and decrypt a message, so that nothing but the encrypted message needs to be passed along. Each party in a streaming multimedia transaction has a *key pair* which consists of two keys with a particular relationship that allows one to encrypt a message that the other can decrypt. One of these keys is made publicly available and the other is a private key. A streaming multimedia order encrypted with a person's public key can't be decrypted with that same key, but can be decrypted with the private key that corresponds to it. If you sign a transaction with your bank using your private key, the bank can read it with your corresponding public key and know that only you could have sent it. This is the equivalent of a digital signature. While this takes the risk out of streaming multimedia transactions if can be quite fiddly. Our recommended provider listed below makes it all much simpler. Real Time Media On The Net Index
