I was doing a Blender screencast the other day, when all of a sudden my iPhone made a weird siren-like sound. Turns out the US government was testing a "presidential alert" that would go out on all smart phones in the vicinity of most major wireless networks. I felt like I was working at The Dharma Initiative!

My wife was out at work that day, and when several hundred smartphones went off at the same time, it was quite a shock to everyone in the vicinity.
