CLEVELAND, Ohio –

Jeannie Frangos, of Broadview Heights, travels for her job.

“I use my GPS a lot while driving,” said Frangos.

But every time Jeannie goes to program her GPS, she has to pull over and park.

“I can’t use it while driving. Your car has to be stopped to put in the information, and then you can start your route,” added Frangos.

Well, if the Department of Transportation (DOT) has its way, that same technology would apply to cell phones and other electronic devices.

Recently, the department proposed new guidelines that would disable mobile devices that allow drivers access to social networks and other activities while the car is moving.

Basically, drivers wouldn’t be able to text, browse the internet, or look at their Facebook and Twitter profiles while driving.

“I think it’s a great idea for a young kid. I don’t want my young cousins texting and driving. I’m more concerned about people around me. I don’t text and drive,” said Jodi Hall, of Cleveland.

“I don’t necessarily think you need to disable the phone because you never know. It could be an emergency call that you get,” said Delicia Terry, of Cleveland.

“I think any kind of legislation that would curb distracted driving is beneficial to everybody on the road,” said Patrolman Norm Kekic with the Parma Police Department.

According to Parma police, distracted driving is a big problem for traffic enforcement.

“I’ve seen people drift into oncoming traffic because they are looking down at their phone texting. I’ve seen them literally stop in the middle of the road because they are texting and that causes a backup. People will rear-end people. There’s a lot of accidents that happen because of it,” added Kekic.

At this point, disabling cell phones in cars while it is moving is only in the proposal stage.

DOT Wants Mobile Devices Disabled During Driving

A revised indictment against the file-sharing site Megaupload was announced on Friday, with new charges against the site’s operators and some new details about the investigation. In addition to the five counts of conspiracy, money laundering and criminal copyright infringement in the original indictment last month, the seven men being charged — including Kim Dotcom, the site’s founder — face three new infringement charges and five wire fraud charges.

The new indictment, which was filed Thursday in Federal District Court in Alexandria, Va., adjusts some numbers, apparently after a closer review of evidence: Megaupload had only about 67 million registered users, not the 180 million earlier claimed, and only about six million users ever uploaded files. One of the most egregious users, named VV, uploaded 16,950 files over six years, yielding 34 million views and “numerous take-down e-mails, including 85 notices from one representative,” the Justice Department said in a statement.

Five of the seven members of what the government calls the “Mega Conspiracy” have been arrested after a raid on Mr. Dotcom’s mansion in New Zealand on Jan. 19, and are awaiting trial.

A Return to eMusic: Domino Records, an independent label whose acts include Animal Collective and Franz Ferdinand, has returned its catalog to the digital retailer eMusic after an absence of a little more than a year. Domino was one of three prominent indies, along with Merge and the Beggars Group, to withdraw from eMusic in November 2010. Those labels gave no clear explanation for their departure, but some hinted at the time that the recent arrival of the major labels to eMusic — long a haven for independent music — had altered the site’s business terms. Merge and Beggars remain absent, but in a statement, Adam Klein, eMusic’s chief executive, said, “While we are in conversations and have great relationships in the industry, we cannot give an update at this time.”
