STOP IT! Are you kiddin me? According to reports, Nokia has filed a patent for a new technology that would use tattoos with a special kind of ink to alert customers when they get new text messages or phone calls. The idea is that special ink, made of a "ferromagnetic" material, would pair with a mobile device much like a blue tooth ear piece would pair with a phone. A filing to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states, "The magnetic field may cause vibration of one short pulse, multiple short pulses, few long pulses... strong pulses, weak pulses and so on."
