Adults Texting And Driving More Than Teens

If teens endure a bad reputation for texting right into the wee hours of the night or from behind the wheels of their cars, then the public has not received the full picture. It is their parents who are most guilty. Instances of adult texting and driving have risen.

Alarming Figures

Figures appear to have doubled, although they are based on admissions, not solid facts about texting. The trouble is adults seem to be the most rushed; the most pushed and pressured. Teens rarely need to be somewhere in a hurry, except when they are late for work or school. Having recently passed their exams, are teenagers keener to obey the law? Are they more concerned about losing their new-driver status because of texting?

Twitter Ends TweetDeck Apps for Mobile

TweetDeck will no longer be available on three mobile platforms including iOS, Android and Adobe Air. Twitter, which now owns TweetDeck, made a blog post that three apps would be removed from popular app stores and existing apps installed on thousands of phones would stop working in May. This is a new strategy for Twitter which wants more users to use the site directly instead of accessing data through its API. Third party apps like TweetDeck rely on the API to pull and post tweets to the popular social network.

Kim Dotcom's New Site Mega

It appears that this pirate of the Internet has created some cloud storage space that permits limited user sharing.

Kim Dotcom has been at the center of a bitter legal battle because it appears that the cloud storage and file sharing company Mega is back in business. But Kim says that Mega is all above board. Mega is Kim Dotcoms brainchild and the file sharing site was launched in New Zealand on Jan 20th. Mega users are allowed to upload fifty gigs and share their files with other cloud users, but the file sharing is limited. If the Mega user wants a premium membership then they need to sign up.
