What caught my attention this morning:
- The Good.
Microsoft’s leafy corporate campus in Redmond, Washington, is beginning to look like the streets of New York, London and just about everywhere else: Wherever you go, white headphones dangle from peoples’ ears.
- The Bad.
University of Utah researchers claim that a 20-year-old blabbing on a mobile phone while driving has the reaction times of a 70-year-old, AP reports. And it doesn’t matter if you’re chatting hands-free, because “any activity requiring a driver to actively be part of a conversation likely will impair driving abilities,” said principal study author professor David Strayer.
- The Ugly.
City health officials are investigating the death of a baby boy who was one of three infants to contract herpes after a rabbi circumcised them.
Not that I’m biased.
