<description><![CDATA[It's curious to me that some people still think that cell phones are for talking to someone.No, they're for playing games, checking in, and sending naked picture of yourself.So how odd that one woman seems to have managed to talk on her own little device for 16 hours, while traveling from Oakland, Calif., to Salem, Ore.Perhaps unsurprisingly, KATU-TV reports that not everyone in thecar in which she was sitting was entirely amused by her conversation. Oh, didn't I mention it She was reportedly in the quiet car of an Amtrak train.Lakeysha Beard ended up being escorted off the train by friendly Oregon police officers and charged with disorderly conduct.It seems that several announcements from the train staff didn't quite do the trick of tearing her away from her cell phone. It seems that then she became embroiled in what was described by the police as a &quot;verbal altercation&quot; with other passengers, whose Sudoku games she had, perhaps, disturbed.I haven't been on an Amtrak train for a while, but apparently they have cell phone charging stations, as well as no official policy on cell phone use.Still, don't most humans know when they're getting on someone's nerves Perhaps not in every case. As MSNBC reported, Beard herself felt &quot;disrespected.&quot;Can someone please invent a phone that drowns out the speaker's voice for everyone except the person at the other end of the call That would surely be easier than social engineering.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Japan&amp;'s network infrastructure has stayed largely intact despite the huge earthquakes and tsunami which struck the island nation Friday.Renesys reported that the 8.9-magnitude earthquake and its aftershocks have not really affected the Internet&amp;'s undersea cables that keep Japan connected to the rest of the world. A small percentage of Japanese internet connections went down and many of those have come back up. That shows that, in a country immersed in technology, the Internet can serve as a critical backbone for people who need to communicate their whereabouts to others.I know that much since two of my cousins, one in Tokyo and another in Hokkaido, both posted messages on their Facebook pages saying that they were doing fine.By contrast, when Taiwan got hit by an earthquake in 2006, several carriers got knock out as undersea cables were broken. Some connections have gone dark, such as the Pacific Crossing cable connection in Ajigaura.Keynote Systems, a mobile and Internet monitoring firm, also said it found very few problems at a macro level for Japan&amp;'s internet late Friday afternoon. But some leading Japanese sites struggled to stay up and available.Dave Karow, senior product manager for Internet test and monitoring at  the company said, a4AAt a macro level, the Internet did what ita4a4s supposed  to do. It didna4a4t even blink. Access from Tokyo to major internet  properties based on the Keynote Business 40 was not impacted in any  meaningful way. Additionally, access between Tokyo and regional hubs  including Seoul, Singapore and Taipai, as well as San Francisco, was not  impacted either.a4But on a micro scale, Karow said that a number of top sites had slow downs, rather than site failures, and most lasted less than an hour. The alarms occurred throughout the day, rather than just around the time of the first quake. A small number of alarms lasted longer, averaging 7.5 hours.[photo: Flickr]Next Story: Engadget&amp;'s top editors say adios to AOL Previous Story: Demo of iMovie shows off another big app for iPad 2 (video)PrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: earthquake, Internet, Japan, Japan quakeCompanies: Keynote Systems, RenesysPeople: Dave Karow          Tags: earthquake, Internet, Japan, Japan quakeCompanies: Keynote Systems, RenesysPeople: Dave KarowDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.
