Kate Voegele has been a guest star of TV’s One Tree Hill, and she is also a recording artist for Interscope Records, but now she is undertaking a much more important role, as the voice for Ford’s teen road safety message. In Illinois the teen fatalities dropped a massive 61 percent in 2008, this was thanks to the state launching a tough teen safety campaign that was modeled after the DSFL (Driving Skills for Life). Now that the Illinois Department of Transportation and Ford Motor Company Fund have joined forces with Kate Voegele, they hope she will be the entertainment industry’s voice for road safety and also an encouragement for young drivers to drive safety during prom season.

Most areas of the world have many auto related deaths each year, but in Illinois between Jan. 1 - April 15 last year 57 people lost their life in auto incidents. If you compare that to this year, 22 people lost their life, which is an improvement but that figure still needs to go down. With Kate Voegele sending the message, its hoped they can lower the amount of deaths. It’s also hoped that other states will follow the lead of Illinois and the commitment of teens around that state. One of the most powerful messages is that of your friends and Ford’s Driving Skills for Life program hopes to help “engage teens to develop save driving campaigns throughout the country”, this is because the most effective influencers of teens, is other teens.

Kate Voegele as a 21-year-old, is going to commit a lot to this message and will be appearing at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy’s prom on Friday, May 16. She will also be airing a series of public service announcements on Chicago’s 103.5 KISS-FM over the next few days.

Prom is a great time for teens and lets hope it also ends up being one with a lot less auto death.

When I bought my Sony PS3 in the UK a while ago, it cost £425 and today you will get one for around £300, so if 2008 does not bring us another price cut, it should not matter too much. For the current price, you not only get a fantastic games system and media center, but you also get a Sony Blu-ray player. If analysts are right, and Sony do not cut the price of the Playstation 3 in 2008, we could then end up with much better online services thanks to Sony aiming at being more profitable and spending less time on price battles.

If you are a gamer waiting for a price cut, then you may be unlucky, although this still may happen; most people agree it’s unlikely. Sony has made a prediction that it will sell eight million PS3 consoles around the world in 2008, this would be an increase of 8% on the figures in 2007. It’s a good idea for Sony to focus on the quality of their service rather than competing for market share with the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. I can think of many improvements we need on the PS3 and one would be the way we chat with other gamers, it would be nice to chat in the game and out of the game without disconnecting.

This year will be a great year for the gamer and as someone that’s been gaming for over 25 years, I know we have so much more going for us gamers these days than ever, thanks to three great next-gen games systems and the way we can connect to other gamers over the internet.

Some time ago if you remember Apple applied for a patent application that hinted at the Cupertino based fruit company working with Starbucks. Well it seems that it’s even more likely now that Apple will come through with a location based solution for allowing their iPhone owners to be able to interact with their own surroundings.

Apple’s previous patent application surfaced back in December. The USPTO documentation outlines a method which allows an Apple iPhone user to possibly order Starbucks menu items remotely via their iPhone handset, and then be notified once their order is ready for collection.

Well now there is a new patent application from Apple which shows possibly more location based services for their iPhone. The latest documentation subtly hints at bringing the Apple iPhone-Starbucks idea into other areas such as movies, concerts, local events and restaurant reviews.

By using a short range wireless network such as AT&T WiFi Hotspots, which we are beginning to see pop up in Starbucks and Barnes & Noble locations, Apple wishes to enable their iPhone users to be able to order from customised menus based on allergies and food preferences. This expanded system could even allow for an iPhone user to purchase a movie or even concert tickets remotely.

The location based system could possibly be used to push customised info to the Apple iPhone passing by particular business fronts, maps, weather, city information in an airport, and flight schedules for an example. An Apple iPhone user would only need to log into the WiFi network on their iPhone handset in order to receive local information pushed to their iPhone.

This is somewhat of an intriguing idea and could possible become a great success with airports and restaurants. Wouldn’t it just be superb to be able to order from a menu or even purchase tickets from your mobile phone? Let’s hope Apple hasn’t locked all this down too firmly so other platforms can maybe take advantage as well.
