I do not really enjoy taking flight, especially long distance flight. For economical seat, even for a slim traveler, airline seat is not comfortable. It can be worse for overweight people. Squeezing into a small seat with limited legroom can be frustrating. I do not mean to discriminating, but it is not easy to sit next with the person who is overweight.
Airlines used to turn their eyes closed to this issue. But, not anymore. Two reasons - other passengers are complaining and the cost of fuel has been hovering at high price for some time since year 2005.

The society is changing. Raising a child to maintain a healthy body weight and the right attitude towards towards food is getting tougher. Obesity (because of overeating) or underweight (because of eating disorder) is some of the challenges which parents are facing nowadays.

I watch movie shown at the LCD screen too at the elliptical trainer. But, exercising casually, without even have a single sweat may defeat the purpose of working out.

Steve Jobs is the founder and CEO of Apple. I like to watch his impressive presentation. He speaks with his passion. His love for Appleās products is so strong that it becomes more than infectious. His love does not stem from pride, but from his belief. He believes that his products are rock solid good. And that belief drives his presentation.
On 9 June 2008, when I watched the TV news of Apple announced the release of iPhone 3G during Apple Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC 08) in San Franscisco, from sitting far away, I asked my friend, “Who is that skinny fellow? Where is Steve Jobs?”
I was expecting Steve Job to deliver the keynote message.
“Bro, that guy is Steve Jobs, who else?”
