ifooled you!!!!!!

The staff from iPhone fooled many people in holland by playing iphoney trick on them. They stuck a brand new iphone5 which was released in Holland on Friday in Amsterdam's busiest squares Leidseplan. They placed a camera near it to record the reaction from the public to the weird and rare sight. The camera shows many people trying to grab it and kick it and pull it and all kinds of weird things to get their hands on that technology treasure. It was an embarrassing moment, as more than 100 were fooled when they realized it was stuck.
                           

Awkward couple!!!

Water babe

Bhakti Sharma, 22, is quite the water baby. She is the youngest in the world to have crossed seven seas, including four oceans; is only the third person in the world to have swum across the Arctic Ocean, and is now eyeing the Antarctic Ocean to become the youngest to swim in all five oceans.
These days, the Udaipur girl is also basking in the glory of being the recipient of the Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award 2012 for water adventure, recently presented by the President of India.Even as a child, Sharma had made the local pool her playground. In fact, she is an eight-time Rajasthan state champion in competitive swimming. Then when she turned 14, her mother, Leena, suggested she try open water swimming.

New speech jamming device wins ig noble device.

For anyone who's ever been tired of listening to someone drone on and on and on, two Japanese researchers have the answer.
The SpeechJammer, a device that disrupts a person's speech by repeating his or her own voice at a delay of a few hundred milliseconds, was named Thursday as a 2012 winner of the Ig Nobel prize — an award sponsored by the Annals of Improbable Research magazine for weird and humorous scientific discoveries.
The echo effect of the device is just annoying enough to get someone to sputter and stop.
Actually, the device created by Kazutaka Kurihara and Koji Tsukada is meant to help public speakers by alerting them if they are speaking too quickly or have taken up more than their allotted time.
"This technology ... could also be useful to ensure speakers in a meeting take turns appropriately, when a particular participant continues to speak, depriving others of the opportunity to make their fair contribution," said Kurihara, of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan.
Still, winning an Ig Nobel in acoustics for the device's other more dubious purpose is cool too.
"Winning an Ig Nobel has been my dream as a mad scientist," he said.

Family about bury dog gets a surprise

        Scamp the dog was living unto his name by playing tricks on his owners, well this owner isn't laughing. Scamp the dog was running away from their home and went through the fence and got hit by a SUV. It was bleeding profusely and eye fixed. The family thought they lost their pet. "It was very special to us" said the owner Reta Mckinlay. Well then her husband came and wrapped the dog and kept it under a wheelbarrow to keep the animals away. They told their twin grandchildren that the dog went to heaven. Then the day after when they returned to bury the dog they were very surprised to see the dog well and sitting up and panting.  The family has nearly spent $3000 for the veterinary bills since for their dear dog. It was like their Christmas gift.

SHAME AND FAME

  SCAMS(S- SCHEMING, C-CRAFTY, A-AGGRESSIVE, M-MALICIOUS)
There have been a lot of scams in this year but there only two main of them the 2g scam and cwg scam
       2G SCAM
 We have had a number of scams in India; but none bigger than the scam involving the process of allocating unified access service licenses. Our former Telecom minister A.Raja was accused of distributing duplicate 2G licence awards in 2008.


       CWG SCAM
   CWG scam better known as literally looting in front of the people of India. Before the CWG games could face the day of light it was soaked in allegations and scams. A sum of 70000 crore was to be spent on the games. but only half said amount was spent. Where did the other half go?




  FAMES
 India's amazing performance in CWG. Poonia won a athletic gold after 52 years. we finished second.
  not to say much though India had done good only in sports field.

NEW DELHI: It is double whammy for Suresh Kalamdi. As the once redoubtable sports czar deals with the probe by the investigating agencies into his alleged role in the mega corruption in the hosting of Commonwealth Games scam, he also seems to be having to cope with a blackmail threat.

The CBI sleuths who raided Kalmadi's premises chanced upon a letter at his Delhi bungalow demanding Rs 4 crore in exchange for a "compact disc" containing allegedly damning information on him. The sender of the letter threatened to make public the CD if he was not paid the money. 

Significantly, Kalmadi never reported the matter to police. Even on Friday, he parried questions by CBI officials on the blackmail threat.
