The KODAK v610 is very convenient as you can select the size of your pictures before sending them by Bluetooth. That way, you can beam a reduced-size photo faster to the Parrot photo frame rather than sending a big 6 megapixel file. Definitely a great pair to capture and share photos!

37 million Californians are going to drive hands-free says Governor Schwarzenegger

October 2nd, 2006 Comments off

Gov. Schwarzenegger signed SB 1613 by Sen. Joseph Simitian (D-Palo Alto) that would prohibit the use of a cell phone in a moving vehicle unless the driver is using a hands free device.

“The simple fact is it’s dangerous to talk on your cell phone while driving. CHP data show that cell phones are the number one cause of distracted-driving accidents,” said Gov. Schwarzenegger.
“So getting people’s hands off their phones and onto their steering wheels is going to make a big difference in road safety. The ‘Hands-Free’ cell phone bill will save lives by making our roads safer. I want to thank Senator Simitian for authoring this bill and for his commitment to the safety of his fellow Californians.”

“37 million Californians are going to go hands-free” said Gov. Schwarzenegger.

According to California Highway Patrol officials, there are “15 times as many accidents with hand-held cell phones as when folks are driving hands-free”.
