Black and white is the new orange
A Michigan sheriff is pointing the finger at TV crime dramas like prison drama Orange Is The New Black for making prison uniforms "cool" and "trendy", announcing that he has overhauled the jumpsuits at his jail. Saginaw County Sheriff William Federspiel believes standard all-orange jumpsuits have become seen as fashionable because of pop culture, so inmates at his jail will be wearing convict era-style black and white stripes.

Road safety app ... with a risk
As texting at the wheel becomes an increasing concern, scientists in Finland say they've come up with a way of getting drivers to concentrate on the road. VisGuard, a smartphone app, aims to get drivers to put their phones down while driving by flashing a warning triangle on their screens if they spend too long looking at the device. The app also uses location and speed data, and images from the phone's camera, to warn of potential hazards on the road. "The app can give advance warning of a zebra crossing, crossroads or a tight bend," said researcher Tuomo Kujala. He admitted there was a "small risk" the app might actually encourage people to use their phones to identify dangers. (Source: Helsingin Sanomat newspaper)
