Voicemail on Mobile Phone

1. Received a voice mail directly into my voicemail box of Mobile Phone - with out the phone ringing.
2. Calling back the phone number states, the person is on vacation.

Makes me wonder if this is legal?

1. Apparently, this can be done as long as there is a person's name and call back phone number provided in the message.
2. Also, as long as this person is associated with the business, it is fine. Does not matter if this person is on vacation while the message is delivered.

Kung Fu Panda 2 - Anti Indian?

The Kung Fu Panda 2, like it's predecessor, story is set in China. The main character and hero is a Giant Panda bear, an animal native to central-western and south western China. While the dragon has historically served as China's national emblem, in recent decades the giant panda bear has also served as an emblem for the country. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.

Lord Shen, heir of the peacock (designated Indian National Bird) clan, sought to harness the power of fireworks as a weapon. The peacock is portrayed in white color and is the villain in the movie.

All thought came about when a movie critic watched this movie in 3D format on 2011/05/29 at San Diego, CA.

China <> India are neighbors and the relationship is a bit long and complicated. Would US company dare to make a Panda as villain in a movie? Especially, if Peacock is the hero of the movie?

Well, not too sure when/if Dream Works is going to feel the back fire... but, when it does, this author feels, it would be pretty bad - in this highly interconnected world.

Anti Hording - Gold?

When the price of Gold goes down, many gold sellers are saying they are out of stock on Pure Gold stuff like Maple Gold Coins.
