SOFTWARE GIANT, Microsoft commissioned expensive research that has uncovered the fact that more than half of Aussies use their phone while communing on the bog or pointing Percy at porcelain.

Synovate, acting on behalf of Vole, interviewed nearly 2,500 respondents across Australia, Japan, China, India and Taiwan including 500 from Godzone.

It showed that nearly half of Australians use their mobile phone while in the dunnie. This is not as bad as Taiwan where 68 per cent make bog standard calls and China at 66 per cent.

While the information might not make you want to by a Microsoft Mobile operating system, it might make you think twice before you ask to borrow an Aussie's phone. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
