When you are in a public place and you see someone with white ear bud headphones hanging off of their head and wonder “I wonder what that person is listening to right now.” This is a game I play every time I am in public, I take into account: the way they are dressed, their haircut, the mood they are in, and their age. The funny thing is that no matter what attributes the person has I always get the same answer…….. Soulja Boy Te’ll em!
It doesn’t matter if the kid looks like he just left a Minor Threat reunion show, or if the girl has “I Love Davey Havoc” tattooed on her head, it’s always Soulja Boy. In fact I bet you Ian Mckaye and Davey Havoc both have Soulja Boy on their Ipods right now. So next time you go to the mall, try my game and see, Soulja Boy will come out on top.
Apple computers is in the works for a new monitor for snowboarders and mountain bikers, that is way better than having “Crank That” on MP3:
Apple appears to be working on an activity sensor similar to the Nike+ iPod sport kit geared towards skiers, snowboarders and mountain bikers that would be capable of determining their “air time,” “speed,” and the amount of “power” or energy absorbed during those sporting activities.
This is where Apple is looking to step in with a device — or series of devices — capable of detecting and displaying a visual and quantitative measure of how much “air” time and, in certain aspects, how fast a user moves in a particular activity.
Preferably, Apple says that a power module such as a battery would be included in the apparatus to power the several components. In addition, a housing would connect and protect the microprocessor subsystem and the user interface while it records data such as: loft time; a speed of the vehicle; a peak loft time; an average loft time; a total loft time; a dead time; a real activity time; an average speed; an indication that loft time is being displayed; an indication that speed is being displayed; an indication that dead time is being displayed; an indication that real activity time is being displayed; successive records of loft information; successive records of speed information; a distance traveled by the vehicle; a height achieved by the vehicle off of the surface; and an indication of a number of a successive record relative to all successive records.
