Topic: Please Help!

My cell phone was stolen at a new years eve party at my buddies place. It's a brand new iPhone 4. Now I know all new cell phones have gps in them now and I'm trying to find a way.. I don't care how illegal, to find the [plucker] who stole my phone.

Does anyone know of a program or website I can use to ping my phone and triangulate the location? The program cannot be one that needs to be installed on teh phone... for obvious reasons.

Please help guys. It was like $650

Re: Please Help!

I don't think you can just - without having some software installed on your phone - remotely activate the gps module. I know the new HTC phones have this as default feature installed, I don't know if iPhone has the same.

Police often has more capabilities in retrieving stuff in such fashion..

Re: Please Help!

U must suscribe to Mobile Me (Apple service) I think there is a trial version. Not sure u can activate it without the phone (otherwise u could follow any person with a Iphone 4)

Re: Please Help!

Phones can't be traced or connected with without user's consent. So basically you are out of luck without having an app installed where you allowed the remote access, or some kind of verification through text message.

So we are back to the police tongue

Couldn't Apple do something? Or AT&T? It's on their network and it's apple's product. Demand customer service!

Clean Hangover

Larry wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Larry looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean.

So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table: "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love you." So he goes to the kitchen, and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating.

Larry asks, "Son, what happened last night?"

His son says, "Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and delirious, broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door."

Confused, Larry asks, "So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?"

His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you said, "Lady, leave me alone, I'm married'!"

Re: Please Help!

my dad said there was a game show in the 60s where you had to prove which hidden contestant was really who they said they were

"Contestant Number One!"

"My name is Helen Keller."

"Contestant Number Two!"

"My name is Helen Keller."

"Contestant Number Three!"

"My nane iz Mellem Killirr"
