Well, I guess you'll have to confirm they were using them as they were in control of a vehicle in drive mode, and not parked on the side of the road, or the computer was operated by a passenger. I must admit that my experience of this comes from American TV, but I can't recall seeing someone operate the computer whilst in the act of driving. They usually run plates after they have pulled the offender over and the car is parked.

I must say though, I have seen them use their radio while driving, which is clearly a communications device.

Grue Screen of Death

Yes, Apple should have a system whereby the users steps on the phone and the accelerometer detects from their posture, who they are. Rigorous jumping up and down should be involved.

Yeah, I thought of it after I made my first comment, pity /. doesn't allow for editing posts ;(

No, As the influx of coins drained off, so too did the extra lives.

I was expecting, "There's an Ape for that"

The Safety bit always gets me.

I hate driving because of the exact same problem you say exists for future autonomous cars. I don't trust human drivers to be safe. We conveniently ignore the statistic of how many people die in car accidents currently because motorised transport is just so essential to us. 20,000 deaths a year due to Autonomous cars would be an improvement.

It beggers the question, How did we survive before there was an app for that?

Exactly. Don't worry though, the rest of the world is watching.

Microsoft does 360s. I thought everyone knew that?

It is a very innately human thing to be able to laugh at real tragedy. If we did not, the world would be an even more depressing place.

Not just make a killing, but will put all the other companies out of business as their treatments become worthless.

And the more countries that have nuclear weapons, the less we have to rely on the US to come to the defense of others!

Yeah, same for computers, it's a pain that there's been no progress since Pentium 4's 4Ghz processors
