Oh, ok. But with all the Nokia is "promoting dangerous one hand use by enabling portrait mode"-stuff in that other thread i thought you were serious.
Um, one post by me about pending law suits and a possible tombstone mentality that arises and it was turned into Nokia promoting something.

My actual belief is that the more functions you provide some people the more they will use them at inappropriate times. Not just people texting while driving, there will be people looking up stock symbols, betting odds, recipe ingredients, song lyrics... you freakin' name it.

Now I said some people and not all people. Some people will use common sense.
However, more and more people these days seem to be clueless to the unintended consequences of their actions. That is all.


On a side, side note: I remember when I was a kid hearing the story about how some dude who was killed in a motor vehicle accident while riding his motorcycle to work one morning... There was milk and bits of cereal found on what was left of him and his bike. A few hundred feet back down the road they found a bowl and a spoon that matched the dishware at his house. Go figure.
