Some of the smartphones these days have really nice features to help you find your phone if it gets lost. With the iPhone, for example, you can use Apple’s Find My iPhone to not only get a GPS location of the device, but you can also have it chime to help you realize that it is just sandwiched between your couch cushions.
People who are still using feature phones may not have the same variety of options, but you can still call your phone without needing someone else to do it for you. The site WheresMyCellphone.com lets you put in your phone number and they will call it immediately. Alternatively you can have it called after a delayed amount of time (30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes). This service obviously won’t help if you have your phone set to a completely silent mode.
Since you can delay the calls it may also be helpful if you need an excuse to get out of something that is coming up, but unfortunately you can’t specify a delay past 5 minutes so it is only minimally useful in those situations.

The auto industry in the US hit a few speed bumps over the past few years, and while many factories have closed, it’s good to see that some workers, like this industrial robot arm, have managed to find work elsewhere. Instead of building sedans, this arm now lathes solid blocks of maple into lovely wooden stools.

Victim Of PS3 Scam Gets His Revenge By Spamming His Scammer With Shakespearean Plays
Posted in: Today's Chili
When buying things online, especially from places like Gumtree or Craigslist where you do not have buyer protection, as opposed to buying from eBay, you have to be careful lest you get scammed. Unfortunately one poor soul by the name of Edd Joseph in the UK got scammed when he attempted to purchase a PS3 from someone who posted the ad on Gumtree.
The console was priced at £80 and to make things worse, Edd paid the seller by direct bank deposit which pretty much offered no protection at all. He tried to complain to the police who told him that there was little chance of catching the crook, and Gumtree replied to him saying that bank transfers were against the site’s T&C to begin with. So what did Edd do? He got revenge. (more…)
