Jul 27th 2007 12:54PM How in the name of all that is holy can you PATENT something like this? Method for attaching control device to second device?! Which part isn't obvious and/or laden with past examples?

Jul 23rd 2007 5:51AM Wrong. Completely wrong. For some reason (be it the vastly reduced quality compared to a RL conversation or some other factor) talking on a cell phone drastically reduces reaction times. Putting on a hands-free kit makes almost zero difference. It is the cognitive load, not the missing hand, which causes the problems. Your reaction times are slightly quicker when driving at the drink-drive limit (although obviously that affects you for the entire drive, not for the duration of the call). Would you like to defend people who drink and drive as well? Thought not. Talking on cell phones whilst driving needs to be given the same social status as drink-driving. Only when people are made social pariahs when discovered doing it will the numbers reduce.

Jun 21st 2007 3:32PM Ah, so it is a standard GPS receiver except when it is cell-coverage when it uses the cell tower to talk to a more powerful server to get a quicker, more accurate fix.
