Explanation:
David Pogue gave a very energetic talk at TED this year. His topic of choice was cool cell phones tricks. As a side note, if you get the chance you must watch the end of this video, especially if you have an iPhone. It’s hilarious.

In this talk, one of the many “tricks” mentioned is a new cell phone program by Google called Grand Central. This program allows you to hook one number up to multiple phones. So your house phone, your cell phone, and your work phone could all ring under one phone number. This would allow you to never miss a call. Also you can customize the voice mail depending who is calling. It allows you to have a professional voice mail for your work, and a causal voice mail for your wife and kids.

Google never fails to amaze me. A service like this for many business men and women could be extremely profitable. A doctor could always be on call with one number. His babysitter can get a hold of him in an emergency just as easily as the emergency room, with only one phone number. For keeping the world connected, Google receives another GOOD rating.
