Bigfoot's Fuzzy Facts

expr:id='"post-" + data:post.id' >

I've decided to start writing about random facts that have recently been brought to my attention. I thought maybe having a little more condensed and concentrated spontaneity would make our blog more enjoyable for the reader. So here it goes, the first edition of Bigfoot's Fuzzy Facts. This week's edition: iPods powered by t-shirts, Steve Jobs' sneaky plan at becoming filthy rich, and a look at Monica Lewinsky and how she isn't the only one making money off her knees.

Apparently scientists ath the Georgia Institute of Technology are in the works for developing a shirt with a type of technology that would use your movements to generate enough electricity to power small electronics, like an iPod.
-Exactly what will we get from this? It's not very re-assuring to know that I'm going to be buying surge protectors for my clothing. Can you say "not-so-spontaneous human combustion"?

For investors out there: now that technology keeps getting smaller and smaller, wouldn't it be smart to invest in a company that develops miniaturization technologies? Think about it.

Yes Apple has brought down the price for the new iPhone to $199. So really they couldn't be making that much more of a profit...could they? Some analysis points to the cost of the newest batch of iPhones to be as low as $100. OK so its still not that much...? Actually.... with AT&T's subsidizing efforts, Apple is selling these babies close to $400 to AT&T. With over 70 countries targeted for iPhone release by the end of the year, Steve Jobs should be a contender for biggest/sneakiest money maker of 2008.

Tiger Woods won the US Open, with one knee. He's undergoing knee surgery soon to repair a torn ligament that has been bothering him for...the last 10 months! That means he also won the 2008 Buick International,the Dubai Desert Classic, the Accenture Match Play Championship, and the Arnold Palmer Invitational all with a torn ACL. He's made enough money this year (about 5.7 million) with one knee than Monica Lewinski ever made with two knees.
