  4. The Numbers There are 5.3 billion mobile subscribers(that's 77 percent of the world population). Half a billion people accessed mobile Internetworldwide in 2009.

  13. Social Media Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event). A huge window shaking bang here in AbbottabadCantt. I hope its not the start of something nasty :-S Go away helicopter - before I take out my giant swatter :-/ seems like my giant swatter worked ! Since taliban (probably) don't have helicpoters, and since they're saying it was not "ours", so must be a complicated situation The abbottabad helicopter/UFO was shot down near the Bilal Town area, and there's report of a flash. People saying it could be a drone. people are saying it was not a technical fault and it was shot down. I heard it CIRCLE 3-4 times above, sounded purposeful. Two helicpoters, one down, could actually be the training accident scenario they're saying it was >>
