Five Cool Grand Theft Auto IV Secrets
Five interesting things to do in GTA IV that you might not know about. From Yahoo Games
Fruit computers
Head for one of the Tw@ internet cafes, and point your in-game web browser to www.fruitcomputers.com. You’ll be greeted with a sparse, suspiciously familiar web page advertising fruit-shaped computers - an obvious parody of Apple. There’s even a banana-shaped iFruit phone. (”No buttons. No reception. No storage capacity. All ego.”)

Somebody answer the phone
Speaking of cell phones, GTA IV plays a cruel trick on the cell-addicted. When you’re driving a car and Niko receives a call from one of his friends, your TV speakers will imitate the telltale chirps of cellular interference just before Niko’s phone rings. Hands up - how many of you have reached for your own phones upon hearing it? Yeah, us too.
To Catch A Predator
GTA IV features its own TV-style child predator sting operation. Just drop into a Tw@ cafe and visit the web site www.littlelacysurprisepageant.com. What’s that? You just wanted to watch a sting, not be the subject of one yourself? Too late. Better get running, because the cops are probably already at the cafe door.
Visit The Heart Of Liberty City
Liberty City might seem living and breathing, but who’d have thought it actually had a beating heart as well? You’ll need a chopper and access to the entire map to discover it. Head for the Statue of Happiness, and bail out so you land on top of it. Inside the statue you’ll find a ladder that leads up to - well, go there and see for yourself.
What’s the emergency?
Low on health? Being hassled by street hoodlums? On fire? Just dial 911 on your handy cell phone, and a friendly dispatcher will send you your choice of emergency service vehicles right to your location. Pro Tip: pedestrians don’t like it when you steal a fire truck and spray them down with water. (Incidentally, you can call for backup from a police car computer, too.)
I have actually had my friend (or at least I thought he was) spray me down with the fire hose… while funny, let’s just say it’s not very cool for the person laying on the ground getting blasted with a 6 inch around hose!

That’s HILARIOUS about the friend spraying you down with the hose! I can picture it in my mind now as your little character keeps trying to get up only to be sprayed back down…LOL!
