Mobile Phone Saves Man from Tigress

As per a TOI report:

The 50-something resident of the Adivasi-dominated Baihar village in Balaghat district recently had a close encounter with death. He spent an agonizing three hours up on a tree with a furious tigress waiting below. Just when he thought it was all over, the phone came to his rescue.

"I realized that though I did not have a gun, the phone in my hand could be an equally potent weapon," says Rangdale. He sent out a telephonic SOS to his friends and the search party that arrived soon after managed to scare the tiger away. Five days later, the little handset has joined the resident deities who sit in the pooja alcove of the Rangdale household. 

He will not part with his lucky phone at any price, he says. Baihar is a heavily tiger-infested territory, barely 10 km off the Kanha national park, and escaping the jaws of a predator in these parts involves a huge amount of luck.

How Mobile Phone Habits Annoy Others

As per a report:

People probably do not want to overhear you talking on your cell phone about your cat’s digestive problems. Also, they generally don’t like to see your gaze slip to your iPhone while you are supposed to be having an in-person conversation. Eyes up here, everyone!

The top offender, cited by 65 percent of those surveyed: Having loud or private conversations in public areas. Even in open floor plan offices, experts say this is something that can be easily avoided. “Your mobile phone is mobile. Stand up, walk to somewhere that’s a little bit more private to have those private conversations,” said Sydney Sloan, Jive’s social media expert.

Everyone who has a smartphone knows the allure of that little screen and its attendant alerts. That’s probably why 52 percent of those surveyed said another big annoyance is when people check their phones while having an in-person conversation.

Mobile Phone Saves Man's life

As per one report:

A cell phone is being praised by police for saving a Florida man's life after he was shot early Monday morning. A convenience store robber held up the Hess gas station in Winter Garden, Florida, at 4:30 a.m. and demanded that the clerk open the safe. 

After the clerk subsequently tried and failed to open the safe, a second clerk walked into the store and was also unable to open it. As the suspect left, he fired his gun once directly at the clerk's stomach. However, amazingly the bullet was stopped by the clerk's cell phone, described Winter Garden police.

US cannot Hack Indian PM's Mobile Phone & Email account as He has none to Hack

Yes, it's true that US cannot Hack Indian Prime Minister's Mobile Phone & Email account as He does not have one to Hack. As per one report:

India's 81-year-old prime minister does not own a mobile phone or use personal email, giving New Delhi "no cause for concern" about new US hacking revelations, his office said Friday. 

The Guardian newspaper reported Friday that US spies eavesdropped on the phone conversations of 35 world leaders after White House, Pentagon and State Department officials gave them the numbers. 

The new revelations, based on a classified document provided by intelligence leaker Edward Snowden, come amid fury from German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose communications were allegedly targeted. 

Asked if Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was concerned, his spokesman replied: "The prime minister doesn't use a mobile phone and he doesn't have an email account. "His office uses email, but he has no personal email... We have no information and no cause for concern," he added.

Now what you have to say on it....pl. comment.

How far would you go to charge your phone? These Bangladeshis come to India!

Yes just tell me......................How far would you go to charge your phone? These Bangladeshis come to India! A per one news report:

The residents of Mashaldanga, a Bangladeshi enclave in Indian territory, have to travel down a 230-metre PWD road to a foreign land - India - for their daily needs and to charge their cell phones because their enclave has no electricity supply. Mashaldanga, with a population of over 3,500, is one of 51 Bangladeshi enclaves situated in Indian territory, in West Bengal's Cooch Behar district. The entire population has to depend on adjacent Najirhat locality in Indian territory, approached by a 230-metre state PWD road, every day to charge cell phones, buy salt, vegetables and edible oil.
