Shake Your Umbrella for a Random Song

thhamm writes "If you happen to see people wildly shaking and dancing with their white umbrellas in the street, don't call them crazy just yet. They might just be controlling their iPod with an iBrella: "The iBrella is a special umbrella that acts as an iPod interface. One can control the iPod just by his physical interactions with the iBrella." Theres a video of it in action, too. The ideal gadget to use while driving your motorized couch maybe?"

    It's just another silly ipod accessory. As much as I love my ipod nano, I wouldn't be caught dead with an umbrella with which to control it. Can we just quit the stupid accessories already and put that energy into improving battery life or something? Jeez.

    It could be worse.

    What if the only song it played was "It's Raining Men?"
