Text driving 'worse than drink'

Texting while driving impairs motorists more than being under the influence of drink or drugs, research suggests.

The RAC Foundation found average reaction times slowed by 35% when 17 to 24-year-olds drove in a simulator while writing or reading texts.

Nearly 50% of drivers aged between 18 and 24 texted while driving, it said.

The TRL study followed a poll of 3000 drivers conducted by the RAC Foundation on facebook earlier in 2008.

UK government responds on Phorm

The government has outlined how a controversial online ad system can be rolled out in the UK.

In response to EU questions about its legality, it said that it was happy Phorm conformed to EU data laws.

But any future deployments of the system must be done with consent and make it easy for people to opt out.

Apple - New Ipods

Apple has lately releced several new Products.

The new products include:

ITunes 8 - Free download

The new ITunes is aparently easyer to use but Stveve Jobs CEo of Apple focused on the new "Geneus" which alows you to make playlists automaticly by finding simmiler songs to what you are currently listening to which seems to work realy well but as it runs on user info that it slowly learns over time it may be some time before this feture realy works how Steve realy wan'ts it to work.

IPod Nano - From £109

There is now a new IPod nano which has a oval shaped design and the high res screen from the model before. The new IPod also has "Geneus" built in to which Steve pointed out several times.

The New nano take looks from the 1st and 2nd gen Nanos mostly but is the thinnest IPod apple has ever lanched. But the WOW of the new IPod it the number of colours that it comes in (See top left) which is amazeing to say the least.

Ipod touch - From £169

 

Thew new Ipod touch looks prety simmiler to the old one buht has a few slight diffrences. First off i

t has a built in speaker which acording to Steve is for "Casal listening". It also has a volume controll on the side which alows you to change the volume without useing the touch screen. 

Another new feture is that it now has Nike+ Ipod built in so all you need is a recever to go onto your traners and your away.

And again it has "Geneus" bult in.

Ipod Clasic

The Ipod that started it all has been changed so you can only get the thinist Clasic and only in 120GB making the classic a "One size fits all" IPod.

Google Web Browser - now LIVE!!

Googles new web browser has just come avalible to download.

The new browser called Google Chrome" is now LIVE!!

I have just downloaded it and typing on it at the moment.

The new product from Google looks as good as every other Google product around with its cool blue theme and simplistic looks you know it is up to Googles High standards.

The Browser is verry sleek, clean and simple with all the normal camands normaly under File, edit and veiw (And the others) it has been put into 2 icons in the corner with the adress bar bookmarks bar and tabs with it.

The tabs has been put in a diffrent place to normal with them ubove the Adress bar rather than below as Google says that it makes sense giving each tab its own Adress bar.

One other feture I like is the "Create app shortcut" which lets you put a shortcut onto your desktop start menu or Quick links bar to open a website in Chrome but without the destracting Adress bar tabs or Bookmarks makeing it feel more like a Program rather than a Web App

So thats what I think of Google Chrome.

You can get it at http://www.google.com/chrome

Enjoy.

Satnav is robbing us of our rich heritage

Britons are losing touch with their cultural heritage because they
rely on satnavs and interSatnavsnet maps, which lack the rich detail of
conventional maps.

Mary Spence, president of the British Cartographic Society, said electronic maps are basic and too often inaccurate.

'There is a danger children are losing skills because adults are
being exposed to mapping that is a second-rate product,' said Mrs
Spence.

'People are scared of maps, but they should not be.
Anyone who has the intelligence to get on the internet and work out
where they are going surely has the ability to look at a map and see
what the symbols mean.'

Mrs Spence said projects such as Open
Street Map, in which thousands of Britons have used their local
knowledge to map pubs, landmarks and even post boxes online, are the
first step in the fightback against 'corporate blankwash'.
