Danger of GPS

THE DANGER OF GPS

* A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that someone she knew had their car broken into while they were at a football match. Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the car included a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had been prominently mounted on the dashboard. When the victims got home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen. The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then used the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so they knew how much time they had to clean out the house. It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents.


MOBILE PHONE... I never thought of this...

This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet, etc... was stolen. 20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking about our PIN number and I've replied a little while ago.' When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account. Moral of the lesson: Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc... . And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back. Also, when you're being text by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.

Meet AH BENG !!!

Ah Beng talk to a long-distance telephone operator. Ah Beng: "Could you please tell me the time difference between Taipei and Las Vegas ?" Operator: "JUST A MINUTE... " Ah Beng : "Thank you, lah" and puts down the phone.

After completing a jigsaw puzzle he'd been working on for quite some time, Ah Beng proudly shows off the finished puzzle to a friend. "It took me only 5 months to do it." Ah Beng brags. "Five months ? That's too long!", the friend exclaims. "You are a fool." Ah Beng replies, "See this box, it is written FOR 4-7 YRS".

Why did Ah Beng go to a movie with his 18 friends? Because below 18 not allowed Lah !

Ah Beng wants to buy a TV set. He goes to a shop. Ah Beng : "Do you have color TV ?" Salesgirl : "Yes !" Ah Beng : "Give me a green one, please "



Ah Beng is filling up an application form for a job. He supplied the information for the columns on Name, Age, Address etc. Then he comes to column on "Salary Expected", but he is not sure of the question. After much thought, he writes " Yes "

Ah Beng goes to a store and sees a shiny object. Ah Beng : "What is that shiny object ?" Salesgirl : "That is a thermos flask." Ah Beng : "What does it do ?" Salesgirl : "It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold" Ah Beng : "I'll buy it" The next day, Ah Beng goes to work with his thermo flask Boss : "What is that shiny object ?" Ah Beng : "It's a thermos flask." Boss : "What does it do ?" Ah Beng : "It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold" Boss : "What do you have in it ?!" Ah Beng : "Two cups of coffee and one cup of ice cream"

Why can't Ah Beng dial 911? Because he can't find the number 11 (eleven) on the phone.

Ah Beng had just bought a new computer and was using it. When he encountered some problems. He decide to use the 'Help' command after some tries. Soon after, he became very irritated and called the computer retailer for support. Ah Beng : "I press the 'F1' key for help lah, but it's been over half an hour and still nobody come and help me Lah ?!"

Ah Beng with two red ears went to his doctor. The doctor asked him what had happened to his ears and he answered, "I was ironing a shirt and the phone ring, lah - but instead of picking up the phone, I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear, lah" "Oh dear !" the doctor exclaimed in disbelief. "But ... what happened to the other ear ?" Ah Beng answered : "That stupid dumbo called back, lah !!!!"

Life... It's really like that

Ctrl-Alt- Del ... Panic!

Do you think wireless-communication means a manual typewriter? If so, you're not alone, as these college students can attest.
* "When my dad first tried to use the internet, he typed the beginning of a Web site address in the address bar, and then asked, "Where's the dotcom button?"
* "Our printer ran out of ink, so my mum bought a new printer."
* "Dad got an iPod Nano as a gift. He thought it was a tie clip."
* " After a friend asked if he had an email address, my father responded, 'I think so. Try Frank.com."
