Unlocking your phones/tablets through Magnet

As per one of latest Engadget news, after sometime in future, it will be possible to unlock our devices through some magnet based object. One example is that magnet based stylus opening our ipad or smartphone. Actually this magnet object will contact with magnet inside our device to unlock the device...

See details-

It's an Apple patent application: please be aware this is unlikely to wind up in your next device, please fasten seat belts and fix your tray table in the fixed and upright position. Inside the bezel of your iDevice or Mac is a magnet that operates a switch -- that will only be activated when a "correlated" magnet inside a key-fob makes contact. That's the thinking behind Cupertino's newest patent application, attempting to turn magnets into a way of keeping your stuff secure. An example listed in the patent is using a stylus with specially encoded magnets to securely unlock an iPad, which we attribute to a zealous patent attorney and not a reversal of the "they blew it" rule. It may sound ridiculous when you first consider it, but given the magnetic-activation of the iPad 2's smart cover, it's not as outlandish as you believe. Still, we'll believe it if we see it in a couple of years

Smartphone can be Laptop or Projector

I think I was on Engadget when I read the article -"turning your smartphone into virtual projector". There they mentioned that some team of researchers is creating some centralized server which can help your smartphone to project its screen on external display (can be more than one smartphone doing so on single external display). So for ex. if you rotate image on phone it will do the same on external display. So it means this server replicates whatever you do on phone.
