POPSThe Mind-BlackBerry Problem - Why we think we can function in two worlds at once?? "If we don't want this two-worlds experiment to be regulated nature's way—by killing people—then we'd better regulate it ourselves. Here are a few proposed rules of the road. Multitasking is a glorious gift. We can't ban it, nor should we. Want to phone your spouse or your office while walking? Fine. The only life at stake is yours. Want to turn on your car radio or music player? Fine. Listening is easier than talking, and you can mentally or physically shut it off when necessary. Want to chat with your passenger? Fine again. Studies indicate that passenger conversations are less distracting than phone calls, apparently because you're sharing and often referring to the same environment.

POPSCrash Avoidance Robotic Car Inspired by Flight of the Bumblebee
The LRF detects obstacles up to two meters away within a 180-degree radius in front of the BR23C, calculates the distance to them, and sends a signal to an on-board microprocessor, which is instantly translated into collision avoidance. "The split second it detects an obstacle, the car robot will mimic the movements of a bee and instantly change direction by turning its wheels at right angles or greater to avoid a collision," explained Toshiyuki Andou, Manager of Nissan's Mobility Laboratory and principal engineer of the robot car project. "The biggest difference to any current system is that the avoidance maneuver is totally instinctive. If that was not so, then the car robot would not be able to react fast enough to avoid obstacles," Andou said. "It must react instinctively and instantly because this technology corresponds to the most vulnerable and inner-most layer of our Safety Shield, a layer in which a crash is currently considered unavoidable," he added.

POPSwatch crazy car videos Crash car videos can be a very educative source of information, either for a regular driver or for someone who is into performance driving like motor sports. Reasons for a crash can be varied. It could be due to the driver being over intoxicated, an error in judgment (especially while overtaking), erroneous handling of controls like locking up the brakes on slippery surfaces, feeding too much power to the wheels while negotiating a turn etc. Crash car videos depict various such instances and the consequences that followed. A lot of them also contain verbal descriptions about the causative factors that lead to such eventualities. Another area where car crash videos prove immensely beneficial is in crash tests conducted by car manufacturers. They help the manufacturers to obtain vital information as to what actually occurs in a crash to enable them to address safety issues. Learn more about safe driving… watch these car videos.

POPSMcCain Divorced his Crippled Wife to Marry Cindy "in sickness and in health....til death do us part"? McCain claims to be a man of honor and his word. This is an interesting test of that "straight talk". McCain claimed to be a Christian too during the primaries, so this is a fair consideration to weigh. "Maverick" should actually be "pragmatist", John will do whatever John wants.
