Jane Wells here had looked up your blog and found my name [though mispelled] in one of your entries. Thanks for the good words and I look forward to reading more from your blog. How is life in SF? That is possibly one of the most beautiful places to live in America.

You've got to check out <a HREF="http://www.nowpublic.com" rel="nofollow">Now Public</A>. This is what they are doing: you can send in photos, videos, audio, and written reports, from camera phones, by uploading from your computer, or by calling in to a 1 800 number. The media files are tagged and made searchable in real time - becomes a grassroots news aggregation thing. It's really wild. Hi Anita! You’ve got to check out Now Public.

It a multiplayer game with more than 25,000 players. Some titles in the Era of Eidolon series can also be played offline.

Talking to people in the car, putting on makeup, reading a newspaper and eating fast food are not explicitly illegal. But if you are not paying attention and cause an accident, you're still gonna get in trouble. I don't see how targeting phones changes anything. I think these laws are just hype.

Most importantly, do customers want it? If not, there is little chance it will succeed. If I think of myselves as a ‘user’ in this case – I could be a candidate for a ‘disney’ mvno/portal. My fondness for animation is well known – right from my earliest blogs. And it includes disney. But .. it also includes a lot more. Specifially ‘Tom and Jerry’ and alsoTintin and Asterix. Would a disney mvno / portal allow me to view other animations? I doubt it. Worse still .. I like pixar more than disney! Another problem for ‘disney’. I think branded portals and MVNOs would work only with the most fanatical of fans – maybe sports fans – but these are few. The rest of us may well prefer a choice I have also linked your entry on my blog http://opengardensblog.futuretext.com/archives/2005/08/mvnos_-_good_or.html (sorry not very successful at trackback!) kind regards Ajit Hi Anita

Very sorry that you don't value the preciousness of it. I do hope that you are kidding! [Even if you are... it's really not funny!] The law encourages headset use. Just fines for handsets.

The law encourages headset use. Just fines for handsets.

But that's just me. But seriously... I don't think driving and talking on the cell phone is a big deal, especially if you're using a headset.

There are enough retarded drivers out there that the highways do not need another retarded driver using a mobile phone. Hopefully, California is next, but I doubt it. Thank God.

It's about time. People should not be conducting business while they are driving. Driving is too important. I see it everyday - people not paying attention while driving and talking on the phone. I write software for mobiles, but I don't phone and drive! Hooray for Chicago. It’s about time. People should not be conducting business while they are driving. Driving is too important.
