I guess I should also add that I play guitar, which makes it difficult for me to play Guitar Hero.

Wow. I wonder if we can use this to activate iPhone 2.0 beta 8 firmware.

TUAW Responds: iPhone Pedometer

Just for kicks, I'll quote Wikipedia:

"Recently, exercise enthusiasts have observed that an advanced Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver (GPSr) with an odometer mode serves as a very accurate pedometer for outdoor activities."

Thanks, you lose.

TUAW Responds: iPhone Pedometer

Look beyond the exact meaning.

Pedometer: measures the number of steps.
Purpose: So you can multiply by the average length of each pace and get the distance of your walk/jog/run.

GPS can get the distance of your walk/jog/run without counting the paces.

So take your "handy tips" and cram them up your ass.

The iPhone 3G shouldn't need the accelerometer. It could use GPS to track you and get an exact measurement of how far you've gone.

That is, if it can track GPS while locked.

HD Lens? As opposed to the kind of lens that limits the number of pixels that can be captured through it ...

Snow Leopard to drop PowerPC support?

Jun 11th 2008 2:12PM on Engadget

10.5 dropped support for G3, I can only imagine that 10.6 would drop support for G4 and G5 as well ... It makes sense to me.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
