Last week, the New Delhi government issued a ban on the use of prepaid phones due to security threats. And as you would expect, private consumers who are banking on prepaid phone use for economical means of communication threw a howling protest. Many of them went out on the streets carrying placards showing “Stop Suspecting Kashmirs” led by party chief Mehbooba Mufti. The ban affected 3.8 million users. The government has said it will review the ban once security concerns are addressed.

It looks like some Microsoft employees will have to do their work by other means other than the use of iPhones, Blackberries and Palm Pres. Seen as a cost-cutting measure, Microsoft will be cutting off the data service plans of Microsoft employees in what is being claimed as a cost-cutting measure. There are no exceptions and this includes business-related data service plans. So you can imagine how Microsoft employees are feeling right now.

Microsoft had already downsized their manpower some months back but it seems that this is not enough to help the company in its faltering performance. Unfair as it may seem, the only thing that current employees can look at is that they still have a job. Only the perks and tools they need in being productive are being hit and unfortunately, this is their means of communication.

This is likely to strike many Microsoft employees as more than a bit unfair. Many rely on their plans to get vital work done for the company–and, if the company simply must cut data plan subsidies, they should, many would argue, cut them for everyone instead of just those who do not use Microsoft products.

The intent was good but apparently the app is nothing more than pure fiction. The iPhone has been known to be many things. It can be a remote, a GPS and a gaming device. Of course it is by understanding a great means of communication. But sadly, being an iCar Remote could have taken the cake.

Fake as it may, we have seen a lot of concept apps come true after a few months. You have to give the guy who created this video some slack. He really has a good idea. But the thing is, it is not yet available…for now.
