Overheard at the jerk convention

Not much news from Apple’s annual music event, but I thought this was funny:

1:24 p.m. EDT | Shake It: Big applause for a new feature, “Shake to Shuffle” — you shake the Nano, the accelerometer kicks in, and the device automatically forwards to the next song. Time magazine’s Josh Quittner, sitting next to me, has an interesting thought: “That wouldn’t be so cool if you are running.”

Before I get screamed at by fanboys, yes, I know you can disable that feature because these things are very well designed. In fact, I own three iPods myself.
