Multitasking HARD: Speeder Pulled Over In Germany, Cops Find Deluxe Homemade Mobile Office Built In Car

mobile-office.jpg

Police in Germany pulled over a 35-year old man doing 130 kph (80 mph) in a 100 kph (~62 mph) zone, and discovered he’d built an entire mobile office in the passenger seat of his vehicle. This is that mobile office. I know, I used ‘deluxe’ in the title pretty liberally.

Built on a wooden frame on his passenger seat they found a laptop on a docking station tilted for easy driver access, a printer, router, wireless internet stick, WLAN antenna, and an inverter to power it all.

A navigation system and cellphone mounted to the windshield completed the array.

Since there was no evidence he used the office while moving, he got away with a (EURO)120 ($ 153) speeding ticket and a possible fine for having unsecured items in his car.

Man, this guy gets off with a $ 150 ticket with an entire mobile office in his car WE ALL KNOW HE USES WHILE DRIVING and I get a $ 200 ticket for making an EMERGENCY cell phone call on the highway? “You were playing Game Boy.” Haha, you should have seen me hold it up to my head and try to convince the officer it was a Blackberry.

Thanks to Pyrblaze and neolardo, who agree your car is not the place for office work. Your car is a place for screaming at other drivers and waving your fist in the air. Plus sometimes punching the steering wheel.

Sony Xperia Tablet S gets chunky update better multitasking and IR, guest mode, new media apps

The original Tablet S absorbed a few interesting updates in its time and hopefully things will go the same way with its slimmed-down replacement — the Xperia Tablet S. It’s getting off to a good start, with devices already waking up to an Android 4.0.3 update that brings significant additions like a Guest Mode for creating restricted user accounts, revampled media and social aggregation apps, and six assignable macro buttons on the IR Remote Control app. Sony has also bolstered its Small Apps function, allowing you to overlay a browser, IR remote and other utilities in a window on top of another app. What this update isn’t is the promised switch to Jelly Bean, of course, but it might just help to tide you over in the meantime.
