Re: EMC,
I know you think EMC is conservative in its prognostications, and you know I think that counting millions of five year olds with cell phones who would probably use them as bath toys isn't realistic. So, where does EMC stand with regard to cell phone use by our animal first cousins? Is it going to count them, too? Is this the future of telephony? Is this how UMTS gets its numbers?
>>>Going Ape Over Chimp's Phone Calls
Updated: Wed, Jul 25 8:19 AM EDT
LONDON (Reuters) - Staff at a Scottish safari park were shocked to discover the identity of a prankster who bombarded their mobile phones with mysterious calls -- a chimpanzee.
The Blair Drummond Safari Park in central Scotland has been inundated with visitors curious to see "Chippy," who stole a mobile phone and quickly learned to use it.
"He picked my pocket when I was cleaning out the cages and later that day I noticed my mobile phone was missing," park staff member Gary Gilmour told Reuters on Wednesday.
"Some of the wardens started getting mysterious phone calls the next morning...one worker heard the chimp's shrieks and that's when the penny dropped," he said.
Gilmour said 11-year-old Chippy, one of four chimpanzees at the park, dialed into the phone's stored numbers and started making random calls.
"He was a bit depressed when we took the phone away, but everybody comes in wanting to see him...I haven't been able to do my work," said the keeper.>>>> |
