Amit, it is not correct that anyone can sign up for gmail. Only people from 9 countries can sign up. They are asking for mobile phone number and it lists only 9 countries. A nice attempt by Google to get your mobile number and use it later for their mobile plans.

When I worked in Manhattan, I used to listen to my iPod both on the subway, and then throughout the walk from the subway station to my office. As any New Yorker knows, Manhattan is literally an urban grid of streets. Does that mean that if I don't take out my earbuds at every crosswalk, I could rack up a few hundred dollars in fines in just a few minutes and a few hundred yards?
Also, doesn't anyone remember their parents telling them to look both ways before crossing the street?
