How to Multitask by Riding a Bike and Computing...

Imagine waking up one morning and you were late for work... you grab your bike and off you cycle to work, and oh no, you need to email your client about some important document... what do you do?

Take a look at what the people in Japan do! Supposedly there is a small community of Japanese computer enthusiasts in Akihabara who like to carry around their notebook computers so they can get some “street computing” done while walking (or even riding bicycles!): Some people say they are programming, while others are blogging. Two guys say that Twitter is responsible for turning them on to street computing. Twittering?!? Why not even use a phone to do it? Even I can do all of this on my phone! If you think this sounds too ridiculous to be true, you’re not alone. A lot of the comments left by Japanese netizens on this YouTube video are calling this out as staged (yarase) news reporting.
