iPhone: Emergency Call

What can you do if the iPhone Home button doesn't function? The old iPhone I use lost its Home button. Home button is used to bring the unlock screen. Fine, I managed it with either the Power button or the Volume buttons. Open an application and there comes the second problem. How do I quit the application? I need the Home button to quit and go back to the home screen. No way... just no way, power off the device and restart seems to be the only option. Can you imagine it, such a horrible situation? iOS 5 has AssistiveTouch feature but that cannot be installed in the older device. After reading few of the articles, I tried Emergency call option. It is somewhat OK solution now. Here is how it works. Open an application Once done, lock the screen with passcode Bring the unlock the screen Tap on Emergency call and tap on the return button Now unlock the screen and the previously opened application is closed Any software solution?    Kovil Pillai P.

பஞ்சம், படுகொலை, பேரழிவு: கம்யூனிஸம்

I read the book "பஞ்சம், படுகொலை, பேரழிவு: கம்யூனிஸம்" by Aravindan Neelagandan (அரவிந்தன் நீலகண்டன்). It once again proved that words have so much power. Regardless of whether the book has complete truth in it or not, it is impressive, very impressive in my recent readings. It broke all my positive opinion on communism. It destroyed Lenin and Stalin from my treasure of leaders. I started hating Nehru and his family. But then, the communist countries Russia and China are still greater ones as a nation. How do they achieve it? Why we afraid of them so much? Kovil Pillai P.
