To put all these savings of a few minutes into perspective, let's assume the average speeding ticket cost is $150. In order for six minutes of your time to be worth $150, you would have to make $1,500/hour or about $3,000,000 per year.

As you can see, unless you're going on a really long car trip, the time savings for speeding are already pretty minimal. The most time saved on a trip shorter than 500 miles is about 12 minutes (Trip G above). However, that's on a trip that's already an hour long. Factor in traffic lights and congestion (which we'll…

I have these for my five bathtubs. Great idea.

How much are tripods these days.?

Yes it is and I like very much when a coed, who has deployed this advanced technology, makes advances at me.

People would have found things they didn't like about it anyway.

So the digital divide runs right through FaceBook. Who would have thunk it?

The more I see Joseph Gordon Levitt, the more I like him.

My speciality is wildlife photography.

Very good comments and analysis. Our digital footprint is always larger than we think and far easier to follow than we would hope. Should I become a US Army General, the Director of the CIA, and start fooling around, these are lessons I shall remember.

How exceptionally thoughtful of you ImmaLion. I use a Nikon DSLR now shooting with a tripod exclusively. So far so good. But your comment is hereby bookmarked for future reference. Thank you so very much.

Yes but... I have a condition called Essential Tremors*. At the very least I can use the timer shutter release, otherwise you wouldn't know what I was taking a photograph of. Any ability to steady the camera is welcome.

Exactly. IA Director David Petraeus and Paula Broadwell, a former military intelligence officer and his biographer, adopted a well-worn online trick, in an apparent attempt to keep their communications secret.

Not for everyone, for sure. Many work places don't allow personal electronic devices in the workplace, Simply leaving a (semi) private message is easy. Terrorists use this method of communication frequently.
