And by far the most popular New Year’s Resolution is, of course, getting in shape. Living in the technology age we do today, we have many options to help us with this ever popular goal. A great application to help us is Run Keeper, which is by far the best mobile fitness tracking app to date, and to make things even better, it’s now free through the end of January.<br />

Apple lovers in Japan camp out for 'Lucky Bag' sale

<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="1" height="323" hspace="4" src="http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/640/japanluckybagapple12939.png" vspace="4" width="400" /></div><br />
<br />
Retailers in Japan have a new year shopping tradition of selling '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukubukuro">lucky bags</a>,' which contain an assortment of items whose value typically exceed the price you pay for the bag. To the delight of many Apple fanboys here in Tokyo, 'lucky bags' are also sold at the Apple store. But at 30,000 yen (about $370) they don't come cheap.<br />
<br />
Even at that price demand is sky-high, and only the most dedicated of Apple fans can get them. Shoppers typically start lining up the day before the Lucky Bags go on sale, because every year at least a couple of people hit the jackpot and get a Macbook in their bag. From those who braved the cold overnight, here's a summary of what most are saying that they found in their respective bags. I haven't seen any reports of MacBooks yet:<br />
<ul><li>Sennheiser earphones, smart remote with mic (iPod, iPhone, iPad)</li>
<li>Mophie Juice Pack reserve</li>
<li><a href="http://www.techlink.uk.com/products/wires_cables/iwires/iwires_3_5mm_to_3_5mm_stereo_plug_retractable_cable">iWires</a> 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo plug retractable cable</li>
<li>iPod Nano OR iPod Touch</li>
<li>Griffin Slap case for iPod Nano</li>
<li>Nike+ sensor</li>
<li>iHome speaker system for iPhone/iPod</li>
<li>red limited edition Apple T-shirt (view at end of video)</li>
</ul><br />
This is all according to early reports from an assortment of shoppers. Check out <a href="http://blog.guttyo.jp/?p=688">Guttyo Blog</a>'s picture of the bag plus contents all spread out on a table (above).<br />
