Alan, this was what I was thinking when I wrote "useful to everyday ordinary |
| 24 |
users", though it will never be useful to me. |

The first thing I do when I hear any sound coming from a new app is do |
| 27 |
whatever I need to do to make the fscking thing STFU. And talking on |
| 28 |
the phone with music playing would drive me crazy in seconds. And I |
| 29 |
would have to strangle any child playing a noisy game and listening to |
| 30 |
music at the same time. Or even separately. |

So you can see I'm not the demographic the pulse devs are targeting :) |
