URBAN RELOADED: When technology comes of age

RELOADED -WINDOWS-95-BACKPACK-1With Swagga T and Brie
Welcome to another weekend special, where we give you the hottest and trendiest of the reloaded this week. Exams are underway and we are told the Grade Sevens are almost halfway through. This then means that a lot of activities should be lined up for those who would have finished writing.
But make sure all the activities do not spoil those who are still in school hey. Congrats to my boy Justin Bieber who got back with Selena Gomez wish you the best hey. Back to business let us check our nay or yeah of the week.

Hey teens, we can make headphones with massive bass sound, too sure, audiophiles love Sennheiser, but that kind of love doesn’t get you the kind of mammoth sales among the younger generation that made Beats an unprecedented phenomenon.

Sure, it’s probably too late to beat Dre, Jimmy Iovine, and Apple at their own game, but who says Sennheiser can’t bring a slice of that young people market into its fold? That’s what they’re trying to do with this Sennheiser Urbanite. Just like Beats, it’s aimed at the cool, hip urban crowd.

It’s going to have a massive bass that will make those thumping tunes really pop in your head. Just like beats, it doesn’t come with a design that looks straight out of the Sony walkman era.

In fact, they’re very stylish, complete with some decent colour options (Sennheiser still can’t seem to bring themselves to embrace the ostentatiously loud colours, though).

The Sennheiser Urbanite is an on-ear headphone that boasts a really deep bass sound without compromising clarity across the entire frequency range, providing an experience that the company claims will make “ears feel like it’s their first time with a pair of headphones all over again.”

It features folding, collapsible sides for easy packing in your backpack, with stainless steel hinges and aluminium sliders to ensure durable performance day-in and day-out.

Sennheiser claims they’re so tough, people shouldn’t “be afraid to throw them around a little.”

No word on whether you’ll get your money back if you wreck it, though, so probably not a good idea. It comes with a detachable cable that carries an in-line remote and mic. Celebrate the birth of the start menu with this Windows 95 Backpack. Are you one of the people who expressed excessively strong opinions about the lack of a Start bar in Windows 8 at any website where you can unleash an angry rant?

Are you one of those people who felt proper retribution when Microsoft backtracked and revived the Start Menu for the upcoming Windows 10?

Celebrate the momentous occasion with this homage to the operating system that debuted the desktop navigation staple that can’t be killed: the Windows 95 Backpack. Made by O-Mighty, it’s an erstwhile regular, colourful backpack that looks like it will be more suited to high school students than old curmudgeons who were on dial-ups back when Windows 95 was a thing.

But, hey, why let that stop you from enjoying the nostalgia of old-school MS Paint, the King’s Quest franchise, and your favourite BBS? Old people are people, too.

The Windows 95 Backpack is printed with a large graphic, filled with various recognisable items from the ancient operating system used by the techies of years past.

There’s an open MS Paint window, Solitaire, a visible desktop with a green background, Minesweeper, a colour picker, various dialogues, and, of course, the Start Menu.

Oddly enough, we can’t find any reference to the blue screen of death, but they probably decided to skip that one to keep the whole whimsical feel in place.

Construction is lightweight canvas, with zipper closures and adjustable metal ring straps.

Well till next time folks I’m out!!!
