    If you can get the IPad to run in vertically flipped landscape mode, you can put it on top of the dashboard above the steering wheel and have it reflected in your front window. That way, you have a head-up display just like jet fighter pilots!

    I thought I recognised the name of the chap who described this as the "must have iPad accessory".

    Stnley Milgram was the psychologist who ran the famous experiments where obedience to authority was investigated by instructing participants to deliver electrical shocks to another person.

    Nice reference!

    You visit the Bonneville Salt Flats, install a racing game, keep the car in low gear so you don't actually roll it, and then boom! Your iPad racing game now has force feedback.

    IMHO texting while driving is active stupidity. I'd much rather see another driver pulling a on flask or a doobie than reading or texting. I did enjoy the way that one lady changing her sweater on the freeway was filling up her lingerie, and she was keeping her eye on the road more than I was.

    The cost of that cleanup, of course, will be borne by taxpayers, not industry.
