I was back from Delhi after visiting some of my old friends. I was sitting on the Vajra bus from the airport. These Vajra buses have these touch screen powered by Android which could be used by the passengers to play games and browse. To browse you are required to enter your mobile details. The gateway sends an sms with a code which is to be entered to the system which will then allow you to browse.
There should be a workaround !
I noticed these advertisements which scrolled at the bottom. Clicking on them opened a page on a browser. The WiFi was on allowing me to see the page. Unfortunately, the address bar was disabled from typing. Hmm .. The advertisement for Bharat Matrimony had a link to Facebook !! Hurray !! I logged in Facebook and checked out the messages and statuses :)
Could there be another hack perhaps ?
The system had the Application Monitor / Quitter installed. Touching on it opened the interface where one could selectively stop applications running in the system. There was also the application's own advertisement system which popped a small ad at the bottom every now and then. Clicking on that opened the actual browser. Only now the address bar was editable.
Eureka !
