This article summarizes an expert's opinion that cell phone records could help identify the Northwest Serial Rapist in Columbus, Ohio. The expert, Ben Levitan, believes that by analyzing the cell phone towers that picked up signals from the victims' phones during each attack, police could generate a list of phone numbers near each crime scene and likely identify one phone number common to all the lists, pointing to the rapist. The Columbus police are skeptical but say they will consider any potential leads. They continue to encourage women to take safety precautions.
This document contains the results of a questionnaire about smartphone usage. It includes 12 questions about respondents' phone type, length of ownership, service plan details, app and feature usage, and ideal phone preferences. The majority of respondents have iPhones, have had their phone for over a year, are on contracts with major providers like O2 and Vodafone, use apps like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, and play games, listen to music and access the internet on their phones. Most phones also have cameras and respondents use social media sites on their devices. When asked about their ideal phone, iPhones were the most popular choice.

The document discusses a survey of cell phone recycling programs in New York City. The survey examined compliance with New York state legislation requiring cell phone take-back programs, as well as voluntary programs. Key findings include:
- Only 36% of visited stores had visible take-back signs as required by law. Verizon Wireless stores complied most consistently.
- 28% of stores visited had a visible drop-off box. Boxes were often hidden from view.
- 30% of stores listed on the voluntary RBRC program website did not have drop-off boxes as advertised.
- Employees generally lacked knowledge about their store's recycling program, except at Verizon Wireless stores.

This document is a memorandum opinion from a United States District Court regarding the government's application for an order authorizing the installation and use of a pen register and caller identification system on two telephone numbers and the production of real-time cell site information. The court initially denied the application, finding the government needed to show probable cause to obtain real-time cell site information. The government then submitted a letter arguing existing statutes allow such information upon less than probable cause. The court examines these statutes and determines they do not authorize access to real-time cell site information without a showing of probable cause.

This document provides a summary of Maine's first annual report on cell phone recycling efforts in the state as required by Maine law. It finds that in 2008, approximately 54,400 cell phones were recycled in Maine, up from an estimated 1% recycling rate in 2003. This establishes a baseline for measuring the effectiveness of collection efforts going forward. Over 900 cell phone collection sites now exist statewide ensuring convenience for residents. Compliance among retailers was around 73% and most major carriers have developed recycling programs, though some small carriers require further follow up. Continued education efforts are needed to increase consumer awareness and motivation to recycle old phones.

This study examined how well calibrated younger and older drivers were to performance decrements caused by distraction from cell phone use. Forty drivers completed driving tasks on a closed test track while performing a mental math task on a handheld or hands-free phone. Drivers' estimates of performance changes due to distraction were compared to actual changes measured across multiple driving performance measures. The results showed that drivers generally were not well calibrated to the magnitude of distraction effects, with some estimates even showing performance changes in the opposite direction of reality. Younger male drivers in particular tended to underestimate distraction impacts. The findings suggest that lack of awareness of distraction effects could influence drivers' decisions to engage in distracting activities.

Pre-paid phone cards allow users to pay for calling time in advance. However, some cards do not deliver the advertised number of minutes due to hidden fees or charges. Consumers should carefully check rates, expiration dates, and terms and conditions for any additional charges to ensure they get full value for the card. The FTC advises consumers to report any issues with non-working cards.

This report summarizes a comparative accident study between years when a limousine company did and did not allow cell phone use. Survey results from drivers found most believed cell phone use increased distraction and accidents. Accident rates in categories like rear-end collisions and sideswipes decreased from 1998 to 1999 after the company introduced cell phones. However, the decreases were smaller than projections from studies finding 34-400% higher accident risks with cell phone use. The report examines literature on impacts of cell phone use on driving and identifies best practices to reduce risks.
