The Phone Will Never Be The Same

I started SIPphone because I believe all calls will eventually go over the internet. SIP is technology that allows every device to communicate with each other, similar to how MP3 makes all music devices work together.

SIPphones plug into a broadband Internet connection instead of the traditional phone system. Because they send voice signals over the net, you can make calls to any other SIPphone with absolutely no per minute or monthly fee. Right now, families are giving a SIPphone to each member to keep in touch. Global companies are putting SIPphones in different branches for free worldwide calling. College students can talk to Mom or Dad for free.

I believe SIPphone opens the door to a monumental shift in communication, when voice calls will begin using the Internet as a primary transport, just as IM and email already do.

Hunting for the X-File Ghost

AI will soon rule the world. It will decide if you paid your taxes, qualify for a mortgage, whether your kid is admitted to university, if someone is eligible for parole, if you've been naughty on social media, etc. EVERYTHING. But what happens if it's WRONG? Here's an unbelievable and ominous situation where a cybersecurity company publishes a report stating an American company was part of a Chinese cybercriminal organization. The story spread around the world. One enormous problem: the software they claim as evidence doesn't exist, but nobody bothered to research it. No news site. No security companies. Nobody. Well, I decided to research it, and here's my results.
