Nokia phones are nearly indestructible, which is an amazing feat on it’s own considering iPhones seem to break if you drop them onto a pillow. Anyway, Nokia not only creates indestructible phones, but they also create their ringtones in clever ways!
Nokia Lumia 920
For example, the ‘Ascending’ ringtone is actually Morse code for ‘Connecting People’, which is Nokia’s slogan. Similarly, the ‘Standard’ ringtone is Morse code for ‘M’ – which stands for message. It’s nice to see phone developers getting a little bit original with their design.
Now the Drones are set to deliver Newspapers , in France.
Read On:
Drone.
Drones are about to go postal in Auvergne, a province in south central France.
In collaboration with drone-maker Parrot, local postal service La Poste Group will deliver mail via quadricopter drones as early as May of this year, the group recently announced on its blog.
The group is already testing the “Parrot Air Drone Postal” service in Auvergne with a team of 20 postal workers and 20 drones. The postal workers can control the drones by an iPod Touch, iPhone, and Android devices using Parrot’s smartphone app.
Drones are becoming more commonplace these days, with thousands of hobbyists building their own and sharing their experiences on sites like DIYdrones.com. Meanwhile, companies like FedEx are anxiously waiting for the day when drones are admitted to standard U.S. air space.
Already, companies like FedEx are counting the days until drones are admitted to standard US airspace. The FAA will officially allow it starting in 2015, but the drones cannot fly higher than 400 feet above the ground and must be at least five miles away from any airport.
FedEx wants to be able to use drones to transport packages, rather than having to rely on passenger planes. That’s because passenger planes need to be pressurized, which is expensive, and they also can’t fly in formation, which is much more efficient.
Some time back thee was a news item that an US Prosecutor was found to have been a Porn Actor!
The Stockholm Hotel where the Sting took place.
‘Now come the News from Sweden that a Prosecutor was caught in a Sex Sting operation in Sweden!.The chief prosecutor spent Monday evening with a female prostitute in a central Stockholm hotel. A police squad, however, had been tipped off and was waiting for him in the staircase outside the room.
Officers were surprised to learn of the man’s status while arresting him, as he was the prosecutor on duty to whom they should report the crime.
The man paid 1,500 kronor ($232) for the sex, according to the Expressen newspaper.
He had allegedly found the escort online, when “surfing around on his iPhone” during a train trip, during which he consumed half a bottle of wine and a beer.
“And then I did what I am suspected of – I went out into the staircase and the police arrested me there,” the prosecutor told the Aftonbladet newspaper.
He has confessed to the crime, and his family has been notified.
“My wife will leave me and my children think I have behaved like a pig. Even my friends think the same,” he told Expressen.
The man told Aftonbladet that in his experience as a prosecutor, he knew that the “stupidest thing” he could do was to lie.

But this Android Free version is for only one panic contact so better buy a full version.
A 2006 study from CIRP showed that modern college students are more ambitious, leading to an “ambition inflation”. This is a more eloquent way of saying “the bigger something is, the harder they’ll fall”. A quick example can be drawn from some American Idol contestants and the shock registered when a judge says that the contestant isn’t their cup of tea…..
The media tends to portray lifestyles that cannot exist for the average person, despite starring average people. Today’s youth are much more exposed to reality shows. They learn that acting stupidly can earn more money than studying for 10 years to become a neurosurgeon.
That’s valid thinking. Whenever money is involved, of course we need to measure the expenses and revenue. If I can earn a lot more for working less, why not?
Because this is a pipe dream for most people.
The cult of individualism, especially in North America, is part of the blame as well. Social agents constantly feed the young with sugar-coated phrases. You may have heard them before; they appear on posters sold in stores that target teachers. “You are special”, “The world is your oyster”, “You are unique”, etc. Everyone is being told they are special. Everyone is unique.
Due to this mindset, it is too easy to adopt a sense of entitlement. I have noticed this in my schools as well, and particularly on social media sites such as tumblr, where people genuinely get upset over the fact that their parents bought them an iPhone 4 instead of an iPhone 5.
Youth today have a stronger sense of entitlement, and unfortunately, we can’t really blame them for it. Society, parents, teachers, and other caregivers have fed them pretty phrases rather than saying, “You have a special ability, and you should work with others to create a better future”. It is unfortunate that some youth feel they can take on the world by storm, and end up being too competitive to work with their peers. Too much competition spoils any progress they make, or can potentially make, and ruins relationships….

Excellent article. calling Spade a Spade.
To praise Individualism is the fashion of the day, other wise you are not an intellectual and A Right Winger!
Individualism with out Altruism will be detrimental both to the Individual and the Society.
People tend to forget One’s Freedom ends where ‘others’ Nose begins’
Who defines Individualism?
Whatever that suits You!
If every one were to think this way where will it end?
Ambition, this is yet another bane that is causing problems for the Society and the Individuals..
May be Wealth increases.
But Quality of Life?
A rethink is necessary , especially by the parents.

You poor confused person:
“If every one were to think this way where will it end?”
Do you only do things because you must? Because there is a law, or a TAX?
As Robert A. Heinlein said “Beware of altruism. It is based on self-deception, the root of all evil. Being generous is inborn; being altruistic is a learned perversity. No resemblance”.
Altruism has individual’s self interest as well.
If Altruism is based on Self deception, what is self interest?
Your interests change at different times,circumstances.
Let us not confuse and altruism,
