Cupertino, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – There are two things one would find in every Filipino home: a rice cooker and a karaoke machine. Either one or both could probably explain why Filipinos are some of the most musically-talented in the world.
Well, Apple is cashing in on this phenomenon when it launches its iPad Water in the Philippines beginning September 9. The Cupertino-based company has chosen the Philippines as its test market for this new exciting product.
Now, even the most shy but musically-talented Filipinos will have no more excuse to not showcase their talent, albeit in the shower.
The new iPad Water comes with a waterproof cover and an installed karaoke app that would make singing in the shower a breeze and an absolute delight. It automatically connects to the Internet where one could easily download the latest hit songs- from Taylor Swift to Bruno Mars. The shower head automatically converts into a microphone through bluetooth technology.
The new iPad Water will retail for PH 9,000 (pesos) or approximately $200.
Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – In just the last couple of weeks, three U.S. airline flights were diverted and delayed due to issues involving irate passengers making a big fit over legroom.
In the latest incident, a Delta Airlines flight from New York’s LaGuardia Airport to West Palm Beach, Florida, was forced to land in Jacksonville, Florida, after a passenger became violent when the woman sitting in front of her tried to recline her seat.
To curb the growing reclining seat incidents on board U.S. flights, a bill has been proposed in Congress to set a very stiff penalty to any passenger who causes a flight delay or diversion.
House Speaker John Boehner said that these diversions are costing taxpayers a lot of money while inconveniencing flight travelers, especially Republican legislators and lobbyists who have to make frequent trips to and from Washington, D.C. as well as to their local districts to attend political fundraisers.
When asked about the penalty, Boehner said, “Anyone found guilty of a legroom-related flight diversion will be put on a plane to Japan and back, strapped to the middle seat of a plane chartered by Sumo wrestlers.
The proposed bill appears to have full bi-partisan backing.
