A London-based cinema is using a novel approach to deter people’s urge to use their mobile phones during films – it has hired stealthy ninjas in the cinema who swoop on the phone addicts and stop them.
The Prince Charles cinema, which specializes in low-cost cult films, is offering free viewing to volunteers willing to wear an all-over black stocking outfit and watch out for mobile phone users and other anti-social occurrences.
We all know that using a mobile phone in cinemas and theatres is not acceptable even when the phone is set to silent, because people sitting nearby complain of being disturbed by the glowing screens. That said, we’re not surprised that cinema-goers are supporting this action. The problem, however, is that this is a specific sort of cinema we’re talking about and this kind of approach may not work in more commercial venues. We like the idea, nevertheless.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
