While I understand your frustration with distracted drivers, it's really up to the user how they interact with the tech, right?Would you rather:A) hinder this tech on the fear that a minority of people would be further distracted while driving by using their phone?B) make the tech possible, and leave the consequences of inappropriate user by end users to the end users themselves?I vote A; I don't want to stifle technology on the fear of what a limited number of idiots will do with it. Just my philosophical opinion though.
Someone who wants to see yellow and blue spots on every white wall they look at.Reading a really long article on my iPhone, leaves me with a yellow/blue square on everything - including pure white toilet paper.
But seriously nothing beats a hard copy... I have experienced it by straining my eyes and finally ending up buying a hard copy instead of getting digital one

A book is an experience. From it's tactile nature to the simple act of apportioning time to enjoy it. In short: No thank you.

This is a good thing. Makes more sense to read a book on your cellphone than to try to watch a movie.
