Invisibliity

What would I do if I were invisible? If I were invisible I would like try to help the world around me. As much as I could cause havoic I can also help innocent people. I would like to play pranks on people like moving things and turning things on. I would try to scare my friends and family. I would then go to the Statue of Liberty and look out on the water and just enjoy the scenery.
I would also go around my county stopping the bullies picking on the other children. If you have a power you should use it for good purposes. I would make sure that any child that was being mistreated would have a good day. Although that doesn't seem like what extraveagent super heroes do, for me, I'd be doing something great. If that ever happened to me I would be so thankful if someone came to save me. That is what I would do if I had the power of invisibility.

Can Apple help make hearing aids cool?

Hearing-aid manufacturers and audiologists are collaborating with Apple so they can help Danish hearing-aid company GN ReSound.The hearing aid is compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, and it's called LiNX. The LiNX are bluetooth headphones that can make phone calls, FaceTime, listen to music, movies, and do turn-by-turn navigation. The hearing aids work like normal, picking up in-person conversations and surrounding sounds. A feature called Live Listen turns an iOS device into microphone. If someone's in a loud environment and wants to focus on one person's voice and cut down on background noise, they can get a stream directly from the smartphone's mic to their ears. It is also $3,000. Click here to learn more!
