Android_4.4_Kit_Kat_Everybody_Dance_Now

Leave it to the Android community to come up with this one. Yesterday the official Google+ Kit Kat page posted the above picture and stated, “Everybody dance now! #AndroidKITKAT” Did Google try to give us a clue as to when Android 4.4 Kit Kat would be released? In examining the comments, the theory is that this post hints at this Friday, October 18. How on earth could anyone get October 18 out of the post?

It just so happens that C&C Music Factory released their hit song “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)” on October 18, 1990. To make things even more interesting is the fact that the song is 4 minutes and 4 seconds long (4.4). I'm not sure how the community figured it out, but I am trying to figure out what was harder: sleuthing this supposed “clue” or Google coming up with a popular song that was released sometime in October that's exactly 4 minutes and 4 seconds long? Of course, that's assuming this is actually a clue, but it has to make you think twice right?

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
