Liar Tunes...
hey,picture this...
The other day I went to a restaurant with my family.As we stepped into the hotel,we heard a man (who looked like a telugu movie villian)screaming into his phone-"I'm at the airport now..will talk to u later".We quietly went back to our seats and giggled.The guy continued to sip his beer and was talkin to another man seated in front of him.
After about 20 minutes,the guy yells a "hello" again and I direct my attention to him!He's again on phone and this time says "Ya,ya I'm in the plane now.Put down the phone!"Trust me, the entire episode was more hillarious as he said the stuff in telugu.
We started laughing loudly..I mean the extent to which people go to avoid somebody.I think we all would've done something sometime similar (obviously not this outrageous!). I do remember sometime back(maybe years back) I'd ask my mother to answer my phone and tell the person I'm not at home.I dont do that anymore!:)
And coming to "Liar tunes", I just got to know that IDEA is offering a new service which will help you to lie more convincingly.For eg. if download the "traffic liar tune" then you can call your boss to tell him your late because of traffic and in the background the boss will hear traffic sound (like car horns etc), while you can enjoy somewhere else.It'l be terrific to ask leave saying your baby's not well and have a baby voice screaming at the background.
It sounds fun..unless I'm at the recieving end of it;)

Don't you think this will really affect the relations between humans .Even Real situations are not believed by concerned persons (boss, wife etc etc )This is technology on the other side !!! any ways nice research and hope you don't fall into this category!!!
