Have you ever wanted to send confidential information within your work environment, to family or friends, but were afraid to do so over the internet, because some malicious hacker could be spying on you?

Privnote is a free web based service that allows you to send top secret notes over the internet. It's fast, easy, and requires no password or user registration at all.

Just write your note, and you'll get a link. Then you copy and paste that link into an email (or instant message) that you send to the person who you want to read the note. When that person clicks the link for the first time, they will see the note in their browser and the note will automatically self-destruct; which means no one (even that very same person) can read the note again. The link won't work anymore.

You can optionally choose to be notified when your note is read by leaving your email and a reference for the note.

If you should ever be forced to withdraw money at an ATM, you can notify police by entering your PIN in reverse.  If your PIN is 1234, then enter 4321.  The ATM system recognises the reversal of the PIN and will still give you the money but, unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to that location.

All ATMs carry this emergency sequence by law.

The emergency number worldwide for all mobile phones is 112.  If you find yourself out of the coverage area from your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and your mobile will search all existing networks to establish the emergency number. 

The 112 number can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.
