Shoulder season: If motorists thought they could comply with the new state law that bars use of a hand-held cell phone by pulling over to the side of freeways and highways to make calls, that can get you a ticket, too. Drivers can’t stop on freeway or highway shoulders unless its an emergency.
So, if you should get the urge to send a text message or call while on I-5, remember what you always told your kids: “Why didn’t you think about that before we left home?”
iJealous? Who iUs? Apple estimates it sold about 300,000 of its new iPads this weekend, meaning that about 1 in every 1,000 Americans now belongs to the exclusive iSmug club of iPad first-adopters.
Those same 300,000 might want to keep a spot open in their junk drawers for their iPads in about six months when Apple releases a new iPad with more must-have features and drops the price $150.
At least his toupee made Trump’s look good: Done in by his own cluelessness about how to send text messages and e-mails to his teammates, former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, D-You-Scratch-My-Back, Ill., was fired from NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice” on Sunday.
If only Blago had picked up an Apple iPad on Saturday, he could have stayed in the game by using the iBribe app.
