“People across India, who got a call from this number in the last two days, are worried about their contacts being copied.
There’s panic in the city! Reason? People have been getting a missed call from an international number (+37529******) at odds hours and when they call back on the number, they realise it’s a sex chat line with obscene recorded noises in the background. What’s now a bigger cause for worry is the sms doing the rounds which says “If you call back on the number then you’ll be charged 15 to 30 $ and they can copy your contact list in three seconds and if you have you bank or credit card details on it then they can copy that too.”
Says actress Rakshanda Khan, “I got the call, but didn’t answer it. Many others have also got the call. Yes, people are panicking about whether their contacts have been copied. But my friend, who is a tech expert, says it’s not possible to copy contacts like that. So, I guess people should relax.”

Spy planes able to photograph sunbathers in their back gardens are being deployed by Google and Apple.
3 D Mapping service
The U.S. technology giants are racing to produce aerial maps so detailed they can show up objects just four inches wide.
But campaigners say the technology is a sinister development that brings the surveillance society a step closer.
Google admits it has already sent planes over cities while Apple has acquired a firm using spy-in-the-sky technology that has been tested on at least 20 locations, including London.
Apple’s military-grade cameras are understood to be so powerful they could potentially see into homes through skylights and windows. The technology is similar to that used by intelligence agencies in identifying terrorist targets in Afghanistan.
Google will use its spy planes to help create 3D maps with much more detail than its satellite-derived Google Earth images.
Apple hopes its rumoured mapping service for the iPhone and iPad will overtake the hugely popular Google Maps
Nick Pickles, director of Big Brother Watch, warned that privacy risked being sacrificed in a commercial ‘race to the bottom’.
‘The next generation of maps is taking us over the garden fence,’ he warned. ‘You won’t be able to sunbathe in your garden without worrying about an Apple or Google plane buzzing overhead taking pictures.’
He said householders should be asked for their consent before images of their homes go online. Apple is expected to unveil its new mapping applications for its iPhone and other devices today – along with privacy safeguards. Its 3D maps will reportedly show for the first time the sides of tall buildings, such as the Big Ben clock tower.
Google expects by the end of the year to have 3D coverage of towns and cities with a combined population of 300million. It has not revealed any locations so far.
Current 3D mapping technology relies on aerial images taken at a much lower resolution than the technology Apple is thought to be using. This means that when users ‘zoom in’, details tend to be lost because of the poor image quality.
Google ran into trouble when it emerged that its Street View cars, which gathered ground-level panoramic photographs for Google Maps, had also harvested personal data from household wifi networks.
My has shown me his recently uploaded Android Application in his mobile.
Seemed funny.
Is it backed by Science?
I do not think so.
This is pure Entertainment.

Ghost Radar is a portable application designed to detect paranormal activity. Currently supported portable devices include the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, BlackBerry, Android, and Windows Phone 7 devices. Ghost Radar attempts to detect paranormal activity by using various sensors on the device on which it is running. Like traditional paranormal detecting equipment, Ghost Radar has many sensors available to it on mobile devices. However, traditional paranormal equipment can be easily fooled when simple mundane bursts of normal energy occur. Ghost Radar sets itself apart by analyzing the readings from sensors giving indications only when interesting patterns in the readings have been made.
Ghost Radar employs a proprietary algorithm to analyze the quantum flux. This application does NOT detect EMF nor gravity. Readings for various sensors are analyzed to detect QUANTUM Fluctuations. Interpretations of the sensor readings are displayed graphically as blips on the radar along with numeric and textual readouts on the VOX. Use your Ghost Radar to hunt for odd changes in the flux. Hunters of all types may find anomalous areas of their environment where readings simply can’t be explained. You be the judge. Are the results of your hunting evidence of paranormal activity?
The theory of what is happening is that intelligent energy can be made aware of their ability to influence the sensors of the mobile device. The various readouts are an interpretation of certain readings from the sensors. An intelligent energy should be able to influence the readouts and communicate with you. What those readings mean and how you interpret them is up for debate.
Ghost Radar® analyzes nearby energies. This application does NOT detect EMF nor gravity. Interpretations of the sensor readings are displayed using numeric, textual, and graphical readouts. Results may vary, we offer no guarantees, use for entertainment.
‘It might be waterproof to 100 feet, but TAT7‘s iPhone Scuba Case only includes three strategically-placed mechanical buttons for launching and operating the default camera app. So updating your Facebook profile from Davy Jones’ locker isn’t going to happen.
The $85 case can be installed in just seconds—you literally just slide your phone in and close the door. And it includes a wrist lanyard so you won’t need James Cameron‘s help if you drop it. Its three waterproof mechanical buttons look like they’re positioned to operate the home button, launch apps located in the lower right corner of the screen, and operate the camera app’s shutter button and photo/video switch. But that’s it.
There’s no way to access or use the iPhone’s keyboard, or even swipe to unlock the lock screen. So before you head out into the deep blue sea you’ll want to make sure you’ve turned off any automatic lock timers otherwise you’ll be carrying nothing but an expensive dive weight. [TAT7 via The Fancy]
As emergency workers struggled to hoist the boy up using an adult-sized harness, they decided to tie a piece of rope around an iPhone, slide it down and film the full position of the boy during the rescue.
Rescuers also used a hose to pump fresh oxygen into the well to keep him from suffocating.
