It’s now illegal for Ontario drivers to use cellphones, BlackBerries and other hand-held electronic devices.
Drivers can’t talk, text or e-mail while behind the wheel, or use portable video games or DVD players.
Global positioning systems are allowed, so long as they’re secured to the dashboard.
The only exception to the ban is a 911 call.
Police will be educating motorists for the first three months to stay off the phone instead of handing out tickets. But drivers can still be charged under existing dangerous or careless driving laws.
Starting Feb. 1, drivers could face fines of up to $500 if they’re caught violating the ban.
Ah good old Google and their invite only release model. It brings back memories of the GMail invites that were slowly released back in 2004. I sold 2 GMail invites on eBay – made close to $100 !
Now, Google Wave invites are beginning to show up on eBay. This one is currently priced at over $150

Google Wave Invite on eBay
Whether or not users will continue to be allowed to sell invites is unclear though, as Google Wave’s terms say that users are prohibited from “Sell, trade, resell or otherwise exploit the Service for any unauthorized commercial purpose,” though a number of Google Voice invites can also be found on the auction service.
Have you received your Wave invite yet? Moreover, would you be willing to pay for one? Let us know in the comments.
