A Galaxy S III caught on fire

If the same thing had happened on an iPhone, it would have hit all the major news outlets right away, which is why we have decided to relay the news published on the?Boards.ie?forum about what happened to an Irish Galaxy S III user.

His Galaxy S III smartphone made a small explosion noise and caught on fire on its own while it was on a car mount, not even charging.
Samsung was notified about the incident and started an inquiry to determine the cause the damage.

We all remember that similar accidents occurred on iPhones, which lead to intense media coverage for a few days before going back to normal as no design flaw was found.

Spiders enlisted in fight against woodworms: Could they also help control malaria?

ScienceDaily (June 21, 2012) ? Property owners who need to banish destructive woodworm could have an eight-legged alternative to chemical sprays that are potentially dangerous and only partially effective. They could enlist the aid of very special spiders that will seek and devour the destructive grubs. And a further, exciting possibility is that malaria could be curtailed by the creatures.

Research by sustainable architecture experts at the University of Huddersfield is showing that a spider named Pholcus phalangioides -- sometimes known as the cellar spider -- is very effective at killing off woodworm in old buildings and now there are plans to devise special nesting boxes for the creatures.But the Pholcus -- which actively hunts its prey instead of simply lurking in a web -- could be an even bigger boon.

Lecturer Charles Hippisley-Cox, who is pioneering the research, has noticed that these spiders will also eat mosquitoes"This could have global significance, because if we can tackle mosquito populations with this spider and design something that will house these spiders in appropriate places, we could reduce the threat of malaria.

This is probably the most exciting aspect of the project," he says.But it was the work done on the restoration of old buildings by Mr Hippisley-Cox and his colleagues in a sustainable architecture research group at the University of Huddersfield which revealed the potential of the wispy-legged but voracious Pholcus phalangioides.Mr Hippisley-Cox, a historic buildings specialist, and his colleagues have been experimenting with restoration techniques in a part of France where derelict old buildings are plentiful and relatively inexpensive.

It is mandatory in France to use chemicals to treat woodworm. But not only were the sprays a potential health hazard, but it was impossible to achieve 100 per cent effectiveness."After spraying, the building seemed to be lifeless, " said Mr Hippisley-Cox.

"But ironically, significant numbers of woodworm had survived, presumably in areas that had escaped the spray, followed by some Pholcus, this predatory spider, feeding on the woodworm beetles as they emerged from the timbers."Pholcus don't trap prey in their webs like some -- they go off hunting.

"They nest in webs, but when they are hungry they will go off in search of food and rather like Spiderman, it flicks silk at prey which goes into a panic and the Pholcus phalangiodes moves in and will bite it. Fortunately its teeth and its jaws are not sufficiently large to be able to bite humans!"

When it was realised that the Pholcus had the potential to eliminate woodworm without the use of chemical treatment, Mr Hippisley-Cox and his team continued to observe the creatures and gather data.

They discovered that the spider population was self-regulating."If there is a lot of food around, the population will grow and become huge. When the food source starts to dwindle the spiders will start eating each other and stop breeding altogether, so it goes back down to just a couple of pairs in a room again. If infestation comes back, they will start to grow."But what if householders are not attracted by the idea of sharing living space with spiders?

"The thing I would say in favour of this type of spider is that is that it is slow moving and rather graceful and lovely to look at. It doesn't feel threatening in any way, even if you are an arachnophobe.

"The next phase of research will seek ways of developing populations of Pholcus phalangioides. For this, an entomologist could be recruited. Also, a product designer could be brought on board to work on a nesting box for the spiders.

And if the potential for the Pholcus to devour malaria-inducing mosquitoes is to be realised, a medical professional could be enlisted too.

At least $380K raised for bullied NY bus monitor

In this June 20, 2012 photo, Karen Klein, 68, of Greece, N.Y., talks about the verbal abuse she endured from Greece middle school students while she was school bus monitor. Since the incident was captured in a 10-minute video posted to YouTube, more than $120,000 has been raised to send the grandmother on vacation.

A video of a 68-year-old school bus monitor being mercilessly taunted by seventh-graders became a rallying point against bullies Thursday, with a fund for the New York state grandmother raising at least $380,000 and a deluge of people demanding harsh punishment for the boys.

Police said Karen Klein does not want her young tormenters to face criminal charges, partly because of the storm of criticism leveled at the boys from the Rochester suburb of Greece after the video went viral.

"They've received death threats," Greece Police Capt. Steve Chatterton said Thursday. "Their families have been threatened. We have custody of one of their cellphones, and he had over 1,000 missed calls and 1,000 text messages threatening him. And he's 13 years old. That must stop."

The verbal abuse was captured in a 10-minute cellphone video recorded Monday by a student of Athena Middle School in suburban Rochester and later posted to YouTube. The video shows Klein trying her best to ignore the stream of profanity, insults and outright threats directed at her.

One student taunted: "You don't have a family because they all killed themselves because they don't want to be near you." Klein's oldest son killed himself 10 years ago.

Eventually, she appears to break down in tears.

"You want to jump into that bus and you want to grab those kids and say 'Knock it off!' And you want to hold her," said Amy Weber, a 43-year-old independent filmmaker from the Detroit area who pledged $100 Thursday through the international crowd-funding site Indiegogo.com.

"I think we hear about bullying every day and we become a little desensitized to it. This puts it in our face," said Weber, who is making a feature film about a bully.

Klein told NBC's "Today" show Thursday that it took "a lot of willpower" not to respond to the jeers from the four boys riding the bus operated by the Greece Central School District. Klein said she was "amazed" at the support she received.

"I've got these nice letters, emails, Facebook messages," she said. "It's like, wow, there's a whole world out there that I didn't know. It's really awesome."

She said she hopes the parents will talk to their children about being "a little more respectful."

Klein did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press.

The video logged more than 2 million views by Thursday evening, breaking hearts and raising passions of people who recalled bullying in their own pasts. The fundraiser set up on Indiegogo.com shattered its goal of raising $5,000 to send the grandmother of eight on a "vacation of a lifetime." Thousands of people donated, many in denominations of $20 or less.

"I don't see how anyone can watch that and not be touched by it. It made me realize ? and I posted on my Facebook wall ? that sticks and stones may break my bones but words will still hurt you no matter how old you are," said Deana Rock, a 42-year-old marketing professional from Williston, Vt., who pledged $30.

Rock said she was moved to tears by the video and donated the money so Klein would not have to get back on the bus.

Police in the suburb of Greece had to step up patrols near the houses of the four boys and said they had received several threatening hoax calls from people. The boys had not yet apologized to Klein as of Thursday afternoon, though police said they regretted their acts and their parents are cooperating.

The district apologized to Klein and will discipline all four students.

The swell of support for Klein follows a recent surge in awareness of bullying that has brought the issue from the classroom to the stage and screen to the White House.

In September, after 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer of suburban Buffalo killed himself after complaining about being bullied about his sexuality, pop singer Lady Gaga decried the loss of another life to bullying, tweeting to millions of followers that she'd take her concerns to President Barack Obama.

This year, the White House held a conference on bullying prevention, estimating that it affects 13 million students, or about a third of those attending school. Obama said he hoped to "dispel the myth that bullying is just a harmless rite of passage or an inevitable part of growing up."

In April, the documentary film "Bully" examined the problem by following five kids over the course of a school year.
