At Monday Note , Jean-Louis Gassée wonders when we will have a road traffic monitoring scheme based on cellphones-inside-cars. Software exists, though we’re yet to see it in Oz.

It’s almost impossible to recycle your used batteries in Australia.
There isn’t an easy home for:
I’ve only seen one recycle bin that takes all this stuff. Ikea.
They accept batteries, incandescent bulbs, fluorescent bulbs, and probably other stuff (http://www.ikea.com/au/en/store/homebush/services). But the domestic recycling schemes don’t take these.
Maybe it’s something to do with not having a local industry willing to contribute to their collection.
It seems hard to believe that we don’t use enough to make them worth recycling.
