Who would not want to keep our pets beside us for the longest time? Most of us (except those who have allergies or asthma to pet furs, feathers, etc.), would want a pet. In fact, many of us already have one to keep. Some would even have more.We keep pets so dearly to an extent that we would even consider them as part of the family. Losing them (by death due to either old age or sickness) is truly disappointing, which is probably why bright minds have been moving heaven and earth finding ways to keep them for good.Story of rich coupleIn the United States, a wealthy couple had a pet -- a dog. They loved their pet so much that they appear hell bent on keeping their pet not just healthy but alive for as long as they would want to.They actually sought the help of genetic engineers (scientists to some) who actually conducted extraction of the dogs DNA for cryogenic storage.

A dead spot is a place where signal goes haywire.Frustrating is perhaps the best word to describe when we just cant make any call or send a message via short messaging system, no matter how we get to position ourselves or the phone itself.What causes dead spots?Weak signal can sometimes be attributed to the mobile phone unit itself. There are instances and places where even the best hand-held devices cant seem to work because the area in itself is a dead spot.There are, however, areas where difficult reception is caused by just poor or weak signal, thus causing telephone conversations to be choppy, blurred or at times missing calls. It also causes delay in sending and receiving text messages.Among the places where signal is at zero or just too weak are the basements, inside an...more
