meh. Perhaps it's all codswallop and marketeering from Ari...
You're pro'ly right on both those accounts. It's the "capable of much more than the general public are aware" that concerns me some...
Today I was behind a driver who was swaying back and forth in the lane and driving slowly. I didn't pass him because I didn't know which way he was going to swerve next. He tied up a line of traffic that stretched behind us for quite awhile. When he did move right to take on on-ramp to a hi-way I got by him. As I passed I noticed he had a cell phone in his hands. His hands were on the wheel but the cell phone display is what had his attention, not the dang road.

I'm afraid that the capabilities of future phones will provide even more ways to distract people who should really be paying attention to something else.

And BTW, some of the most "dangerous" woman that I have known didn't want to be tied down by someone "committed" to them. Some actively sought relationships with married men because of that.
