Bump is an application created by Bump Technologies for the Apple iOS and Google Android operating systems. It allows two smartphone users to bump their phones together to transfer contact information, photos, and other objects to each other over the internet. It is the eighth most popular free app of all time.[1][2] It is free to download for both platforms.[3]
Functionality [link]
Bump sends contact information and photos to another device over the internet.[1] Before activating the transfer, each user confirms what he or she wants to send to the other user.[3] To use the application, two people bump their phones together, and within about five to ten seconds, a screen appears on both users' screens allowing them to confirm what they want to send to each other.[4] When two users bump their phones, the data is automatically sent via an internet server to the other user, which is able to detect when any two phones using the application bump each other.[1] A newer aspect of the application allows two people to bump in order to become Facebook friends.[5]
Bump Technologies worked with PayPal in March 2010 to create a PayPal iPhone application.[6] The application allows two users automatically activate an internet transfer money between their accounts using the application, and has found widespread adoption.[6] A similar version was released for Android in August 2010.[7]
History [link]
The idea for Bump was conceived by David Lieb, a former employee of Texas Instruments, while he was attending the University of Chicago Booth School of Business for his MBA.[1] While entering contact information into his iPhone, he felt that the process could be improved.[1] His fellow Texas Instrument employees Andy Huibers and Jake Mintz joined Lieb to form Bump Technologies.[1] Early funding for the project was provided by startup incubator Y Combinator, Sequoia Capital and other angel investors.[8] It gained attention at the CTIA international wireless conference, due to its accessibility and novelty factor.[9]
In January 2011, Bump secured a $16M series B financing round led by Andreessen Horowitz. [10]

Super Life-Form Transformers: Beast Wars Neo
Super Life-Form Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (超生命体トランスフォーマー ビーストウォーズネオ Chō Seimeitai Toransufōmā: Bīsuto Uōzu Neo) is a 1999 Japanese Transformers television animated series and toy line, and a sequel to Beast Wars II.Hozumi Gōda reprised his role as Lio Convoy from Beast Wars II whenever he appeared in this series. Each episode runs for 30 minutes and it was broadcast in standard 4:3 as this was aired in 1999, years before widescreen on TV became common.
Plot
The series focuses on a battle between Maximal and Predacon factions for possession of an energy source called Angolmois. The lone "one-man army" Big Convoy is assigned the task of being teacher to a group of young recruits against Magmatron's group. By the end of the series, however, both forces unite to oppose the wrath of the dark god Unicron and his sub-group; the Blendtrons..
Characters
Toyline
Beast Wars Neo's toy line contains exclusive figures available only in Japan, some of which later became available to other fans via the Hasbro online store or were available in later series, sometimes repainted and remolded. The Transformers: Universe release of Nemesis Prime was Hasbro's repaint of Big Convoy and was released in Australia as exclusive item, in addition to being a Target exclusive in the United States. Magmatron also ended up as a Target exclusive, while various other figures from the line were introduced in the United States as repaints for various lines.
Bumper (broadcasting)
In broadcasting, a commercial bumper, ident bumper or break-bumper (often shortened to bump) is a brief announcement, usually two to 15 seconds in length that can contain a voice over, placed between a pause in the program and its commercial break, and vice versa. The host, the program announcer or a continuity announcer states the title (if any) of the presentation, the name of the program, and the broadcast or cable network, though not necessarily in that order. On children's television networks, they are sometimes called external eyecatches due to the resemblance of internal eyecatches in anime and there is usually no voice over, but some bumpers do feature one. Bumper music, often a recurring signature or theme music segment, is nearly always featured. Bumpers can vary from simple text to short films.
United States
Since 1976, most network television programs in the United States no longer use commercial bumpers; although some soap operas such as Days of Our Lives (which stopped using one in 2010) and The Young and the Restless still feature mid-show bumpers. Commercial bumpers are still a common feature of radio. In radio, they are often used during sports broadcasts to ease the transition from play by play to commercial break and back to live action, as well as notify local stations that they should insert their station identification and/or commercials, many times using obscure musical selections of the board operator's choosing. One notable example of commercial bumpers still in use can be found on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim, whose extensive usage of bumpers has even spawned its own website. Another example of commercial bumpers in radio was their use in syndicated programming; for instance, the radio countdown programs American Top 40 and American Country Countdown feature a series of pre-recorded jingles and other outcues to transition to and from commercial breaks.
