iPhone Stolen Experiment

By -
The process if you have your iPhone stolen is a messy one. And unfortunately, even though it is extremely common, there are many holes and improvements that could be made. For instance, if your phone is ever recovered by a noble person, and it has a password lock on it, could it ever find its way back to you? Under the current process, I don't believe so. There is no real way to link the stolen iphone back to its owner. Lets try this experiment, if an iphone with serial DNPJFA3KDTTQ is ever recovered, and you find this blogpost by search, please let me know!
Idea: there should be a website for owners of lost/stolen iphones to post the serial numbers with an anonymous email address attached so that contact can be made between the people who find the phone and those who lose it.

Supposedly with Apple's Activation Lock the phone cannot be activated anyway, so what happens when it is stolen?

ENFP = ADHD?

By -
I have a theory. I have a theory that people with the personality type of ENFP (Myers-Briggs Extroverted-Intuition-Feeling-Perceiving) are likely to be seen as people with ADHD. For some background, ADD is a sub-group of ADHD, so people with ADD have ADHD, although the people with ADD aren't hyper-active. (Yes, I know it's a but confusing, but that's how it was explained to me) I read somewhere that only 1-2% of the population are ENFP's. It's funny, because when I meet an ENFP, I know they are an ENFP, it is an indescribable bond of likeness that is formed. So, If I am correct and most ENFP's display the symptoms of ADHD, does that mean that ADHD is really a 'disorder', or merely a personality difference of those who categorized the ENFPs as having ADHD? Could it be that we have a different learning style than most, so have been bored by conventional schooling of the average school teacher who tends to be of the same personality type? The botto...

Blog Updates: Intuition 2, Corporate decisions 0

US Airways On January 4th, I wrote an entry titled: US Airways- Short term vs Long term decisions , talking about how on a recent US Airways flight I had been charged for water on a 6 hour cross continental domestic flight. My stance was that it was a horrible move for the airline to demand money for water on a cramped flight where there was no readily accessible drinking water. Especially when customers had each paid good money for their flight, and had all of the time in the world to complain to each other during the time in the air. Well, it seems like US Airways have finally gotten the message and have changed their ways. They were hoping the other airlines would follow suite and also decide to charge for drinks, when they didn't, they alone were crouching in the corner in shame. I think if they had thought about their decision a little more before becoming so money hungry they would have avoided the disaster, but I guess better late than never! US Airways won't char...
