At Northrop, the largest cause of workplace "accident's and incidents are slips and falls and other injuries caused while being distracted using headphones, Iphones, etc. People walk around not paying attention to their surroundings. And of course I am sure all of you are aware of how many people drive and, text, chat, watch, etc.

Add victim of assault to the list.

Not long ago I came across an article about smartpone theft in San Francisco. The thieves have it down to a science: when someone is walking down the street staring at their phone they get whapped on the back of the head and they have it figured out which way the phone is going to fly, so they catch it before it hits the ground. They usually work in teams.

I can't say by exactly what means the miscreants in SEA obtain hot phones, but I've had people on the street try to sell me apple phones in Penang and KL.

If that is a menace, how about listening to a one sided conversation in a train, bus, restaurant etc.? Especially in a very loud voice!
