Cell Phone Tips

I got this tips today from a forwarded e-mail and i tried to find the source but couldn’t, however i have found this tips to be usefull and workable, so i thought i would share it with you, here it is:

Emergency Number Worldwide

The emergency number worldwide is 112,if you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency,dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.

This second tip i found paticularly intresting:

Locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote keys?

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys
are at home, call someone at home on their cell
phone from your cell phone.

Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car
door and have the person at your home press the
unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on
their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone
from having to drive your keys to you.

Limewire Sues RIAA For Antitrust And Consumer Fraud

In a twist of events popular P2P software Limewire is now suing the RIAA for Antitrust And Consumer Fraud.

It all began when the RIAA sued Limewire after Limewire wouldn’t agree to simply roll over and pretend the RIAA’s interpretation of the Supreme Court decision in the Grokster case was actually what the Supreme Court said.

to quote:

The court actually said that services could be found liable, if they were shown to actively induce infringement. The RIAA and the MPAA pretended this meant that any file sharing network that had unauthorized content was flat-out illegal. Of course, that’s a bit of a stretch.

The outcome of this lawsuit is what i am anticipating, i’ve always been a user of Limewire and believe it or not have never downloaded any other P2P software, Limewire is just what the doctor ordered, i’ve got myself the Pro version which is even better!.

Let’s wait and see what happens to this particular lawsuit..go Limewire!

Apple and Google to Conquer TV’s?

Apple recently announced that it plans to invade your TV’s with it’s iTv set-top box which will be hooked up to your television to give owners the power to break their music, movies, TV shows and other content free from the confines of the home computer or handheld, and stream that content to a TV set.

Rumor is that Apple is set to team up with search engine giants Google Inc who would be the primary provider of video content for the iTv box.It all looks very possible especially since Apple now has Google CEO Eric Schmidt on their board of directors.

“Google and all its competitors are focused on a three-screen approach right now, whether you’re accessing them or their content on a computer screen, on some kind of a handheld product or on your high-definition TV,” explained Ross Rubin, an analyst with the NPD Group.

Yahoo Offers $900 Million to Facebook

Yahoo Inc has offered $900 million to a 22-year-old Mark Zuckerberg in it’s latest attempts to get on the Social Networking bandwagon.

Mark Zuckerberg of course is the owner of the popular social network site - Facebook.In January this year Facebook received an offer of $750 million from Viacom but they duly rejected the offer and instead asked for a ernomous $2 billion which Viacom rebuffed.

To woo Mr. Zuckerberg, Yahoo has offered about $900 million for Facebook and says it will keep the company somewhat independent, with Mr. Zuckerberg in charge. This has been its model with other acquisitions like Flickr, a photo-sharing site, and Del.icio.us, a social bookmarking service that lets members share lists of their favorite Web sites.
