Who is more of a sheep? The guy who thinks about what they want in a computer and decides to buy a mac, or the guy who buys another windows PC right after their old one just crashed? They guy who wants a nice looking computer that works every time and he can get hassle-free tech support, or the guy that buys hardware and software from two different companies because that's what he's conditioned to do thanks to a near-monoply in operating systems?

I never seem to understand how 8% of the market can routinely be considered sheep.

This tracks your runs, and you can tell when you have had difficulty by when the velocity quickly goes to zero in the middle of a run :P

But if you want to improve your technique, get someone to take video of your riding. ]]>Jun 11th 2009 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/Jun 11th 2009 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/Jun 11th 2009 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/Jun 11th 2009 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/Jun 11th 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/

Regarding the video game comment - it doesn't sound like this is for a *video game*, it sounds like it would be for the real thing - which would exersize real muscles and require breathing real (thin) air, probably not something you'd be interested in or capable of...]]>Jun 11th 2009 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/Jun 11th 2009 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/Jun 11th 2009 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/Jun 11th 2009 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/Jun 11th 2009 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/apple-patent-filing-shows-off-activity-monitor-for-skiers-biker/
