What-Boy, 17, sells kidney to buy iPad 2





A TEENAGER in China sold one of his kidneys to buy an iPad 2, Chinese newspaper the 'Global Times' reports.
The 17-year-old boy, identified only by the surname Zheng, searched the internet and found a buyer who was willing to pay 22,000 yuan ($3400) for the organ. Without telling his family of his plans, he travelled north from his home in the eastern Anhui province to a hospital in the city of Chenzhou in Hunan province, where he was operated on under the supervision of a kidney-selling agent.
His mother's suspicions were aroused when her son returned home with an iPad 2 and an iPhone, and Zheng, who was left with a deep red scar from the surgery, was forced to admit what he did. She took him back to Chenzhou to report the crime, but the contact numbers the kidney agents gave Zheng were not working.

Strange-Patio umbrella knocks out town's Power


SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. - You can blame it on the weather, or you can blame it on the umbrella.
In windy weather, a patio umbrella blew up into high voltage lines in this northern Ontario city and tripped a breaker, turning off the lights for about 1,700 homes and businesses for a while Tuesday afternoon.
Local utility operations head Dominic Parrella said a blackout due to umbrella is a first for him.
And he said the owner of the umbrella won't likely be very pleased either.
"It would no longer be usable," said Parrella. "It basically gets burned up."

Smart-How the laptop was able to Track the thief


Stolen Laptop Hidden Camera
Joshua Kaufman was able to track down his stolen MacBook thanks to a security application called Hidden.Hidden is a theft tracking application for the Mac operating system.After installing the Hidden software, it lies dormant on the computer until the user goes to the Hidden website to report it stolen, activating the tracking software.It can not only take pictures of the thief using the built-in webcam, but also send screenshots of the computer in use, internet history and the machine's location plotted on Google maps.
Hidden's makers boast that their software works worldwide, so whether the computer is stolen in London, New York or Buenos Aires, its owner can track it down and get it back. To get the most out of hidden, the developers recommend setting up and enabling a separate password-free guest account.This runs contrary to the usual computer security advice, but it makes sense with Hidden. The thief must actually be able to use the computer so the software can gather the information it needs to track it.With all the information captured, all that remains to be done is to call in the police.
