So Oprah wants you to not talk on the phone in your car – the theory? It distracts you.  I can tell you for damn sure that I’m more concentrated on my phone while I’m talking to my parents than I am when the kids are in the car.  So, are you going to outlaw driving with passengers?  Because I can get into a heated discussion with my passenger (whether it’s a 2 or a 20 year old) and become distracted … so if you’re going to draw this line in the sand, you’re going to have to tell me where it ends.  No more books on tape, singing to the radio, or reading billboards – you could lose total control of your car, after all.

And if a phone call distracts you, then god forbid you carpool with several people.  You’d get to talking and veer right into the center divider, according to Oprah.

I’m all for the no texting, please don’t text and drive.  And if you can’t walk and chew gum, perhaps you shouldn’t drive and talk on the phone.   But the logic behind this campaign of Oprah’s is seriously flawed – everyone is too busy patting themselves on the back to notice.

The CNN reviewer had complaints, but let’s keep it real – it was nice of Adobe to build an app and provide it at no charge.  I’ve spent lots of little bits of money here and there downloading photo apps that attempt to compensate for the fairly crappy picture the iPhone takes (hello, onboard flash perhaps?  Seriously, the phone I had three years ago that flipped open and only made phone calls took a better picture).  I have apps that crop, apps that recolor, apps that apply filters – but I’d prefer to work with Adobe’s tools, something I use on a daily basis and have confidence in the end result.

An added perk?  Photoshop.com offers 2GB of free online photo storage.  In the very least, add this free tool to your iPhone arsenal for the color correction tools alone.
