Not that we are bashing Microsoft or anything but we are just saying how it is: previously Microsoft has removed ability to synchronize Windows Mobile phones over WiFi with PC computers due to alleged security probl...

After going through some of the patent information from the us link, it can only be summed up as rubbish...total time-wasting, money wasting rubbish! I have an idea where this is going to lead, one day networks will be broadcasting special signals that will tell a microsoft device or any other compyling device to goto silent or switch off or airplane mode - or now allow camera applicatinos to open. this list goes on.
It is not up to an organisation to tell us what we can and cannot do with out lives. |

The organizations are not telling you what to do, they are telling your device what [not] to do. You know it might not be a bad idea to think of other ways that some one can restrict your devices and patent them yourself so that you can have some control over whether or not they can use your patented method. Ofcourse this would only be useful until the patent expires. |

Really? You do what you want, whenever/wherever you want to? I really would like to see you try to take a photograph inside my corporate offices. You would look pretty funny with your face smashed into the carpet and hands cuffed behind you while your phone gets disassembled. 
There are some good uses for this technology:
- Disabling cameras in classified facilities, sensitive corporations, locker rooms.
- Disabling recorders whenever desired.
- Disabling all non-emergency phone calls in theaters during performances.
I hope they add a few others like:
- Disabling games during strategy meetings. 
- Disabling streaming in offices during business hours.
- Disable the phone in critical portions of hospitals. 
- Disable phones in the vicinity of blasting operations. 
Since the vast majority of phone owners out there are either clueless to many of their phone's functions or are rude to the max about how they use their phone, it would be nice to see the capability to enforce privacy , safety, and productivity in such a non-invasive manner.
