Sun, 20 May 2012 05:18:49 -0400

If you're one of the millions of cell phone users who count ontheir wireless phone for emergency calling........You might want to think again.Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that your call will berouted to an emergency call center. Much less, the emergencydispatcher will have the ability to pinpoint the call's location.Why? Part of the problem is lack of service. Often, in more ruralareas, your cell phone has fewer towers available to receivereception. And, many of those towers are designed for analogcalls - not digital.But, since the FCC does not require it, fewer carriers offeranalog service -- or the ability to connect to it.Not surprising, since much of the carriers' revenue is dependanton features available only on digital networks.Another problem?

Those Mobile Phone Wielding Drivers

Tue, 08 May 2012 04:51:45 -0400

A taxi driver in Singapore recently drove his taxi headfirstinto a rather deluxe condominium swimming pool! At thesubsequent court case the driver was fully exonerated from anyblame on the grounds that it was raining heavily at the time ofthe incident and would you believe it? that no barriers werein place around the pool. If anybody was to ponder over thisscenario it would not be hard to conjure up a few chinks andcracks in the stories armor. Well, swimming pools do notnormally reside directly in front of condominium entrances asthose living there tend not to favor passerby's peering in!

I would alsoquestion the lack of lighting around the driveway, the speedthat the taxi was taking and his knowledge of the area. Butgoing no further; the driver was so obviously doing whatmillions of other p...
