    Google Glass wearers may want to think twice before wearing their high-tech specs behind the wheel, at least in California.

    Cecilia Abadie said she was ticketed by a police officer for wearing Google Glass while driving through the sunny West Coast state. The exact line as written on the ticket said: “Driving with Monitor visible to Driver (Google Glass).”

    Abadie said the actual law tells drivers not to “drive a vehicle equipped with a video monitor, if the monitor is visible to the driver and displays anything other than vehicle information global mapping displays, external media player (MP3), or satellite radio information.”

    In her Google+ post, Abadie posed this question: “Is #GoogleGlass [illegal] while driving or is this cop wrong???” Seeking legal advice, she asked people if they knew of similar tickets doled out to Google Glass wearers anywhere in the US.

    Kathleen Sebelius Takes Blame For Obamacare Glitches While Being Grilled By Marsha Blackburn

    WASHINGTON — Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius apologized on Wednesday for the “miserably frustrating experience” people are having with the Obamacare enrollment website and said she’s the one that the American people should hold accountable for its problems.

    “I apologize. I’m accountable to you,” Sebelius said during testimony before a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing. “I am committed to earning your confidence back.”

    House Republicans have been demanding that Sebelius testify about the problems with HealthCare.gov since its Oct. 1 launch. Not surprisingly, many took the opportunity to trash Obamacare on the whole. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), for one, came to the hearing ready for a fight.
