SB Nation iPhone App Update: Make Head Kick Legend Your MMA Home Away Home

In 1965 MIT had a very special computer that took hundred of scientists and officials to operate. It was so special that it took up half a building, and cost eleven million dollars. Thanks to a pesky little phenomenon called Moore's law, the number of transistors able to be placed on a circuit doubles every couple of years.

Viola! Now that $11 million computer (which is a thousand times less powerful), in this case the iPhone and its new iOS 5, can be held in your pocket. If you're an actor, it allows you to accidentally take naked pictures of yourself (apologies for the lack of a hyperlink Scarlet Johansson fans). If you're away from a TV and are a Cowboys fan, it allows you to scream invectives at Tony Romo. If you're a cinematographer for a big budget Hollywood film like the Avengers, you can actually shoot a scene starring Robert Downey Jr. with its new 1080p full HD video capability. (here's what your new HKL experience will look like, by the way):

If you're like me, and you can't afford one, it allows to just be dull and envious. But in short, technology is kind of a big deal. It's such a big deal that your retinas literally can't handle it. The human eye can't distinguish images beyond 300 pixels per inch (ppi). This technology from the iPhone, called the 'Retina Display' (which contains 326 ppi), is so designed because it allows text to be as easily read as "traditional print". In other words, don't listen to the luddites that tell you the internet is rotting your brain. 

Especially not here at Head Kick Legend, where I will personally bring you the latest in science, ham-fisted essays on MMA history, and pretend to be an expert on kickboxing which I honestly never watch. But seriously, it'll be a busy week of October. What do viruses have to do with Paulo Filho? What are the five fights you should be watching to be an informed viewer for UFC 137 this weekend? Why is marijuana actually good for Nick Diaz, and what's the latest on the concussion front?

I hope you guys stay tuned. We want active readers. Speaking of, the new Update has improved the comments section with faster load times. In addition, as our headquarters notes, " fast browsing of comments that are new to you -- If you're familiar with our keyboard shortcuts for comments on the web - pressing the Z-key will will simultaneously mark a comment as read and tab forward to the next unread comment - we have built the same functionality into the iPhone app." The update will also include a new In-App browser that allows you to browse for as long as you want.

For you Android users (fun fact: the current Android's processing power is 1.5GHz, which is nearly the equivalent of a 2005 Home PC with an output of 1.8GhHz...beware of Skynet), expect the App to be out by the holidays. If you've already downloaded the app, hit the jump and tell us what your experience has been like with our poll.

Before, I forget, here's where you can download the latest App. 

Also, here's a cool article on why computer voices are typically female.
