]]> <![CDATA[qxink commented]]> @SirNirian: Joking about real life fatalities is tasteless, I agree, but just to reiterate: this did not really happen. It's a recycled urban legend. Frownies on Giz for reporting this as news, but it doesn't seem they were the only ones taken for a ride.

]]> <![CDATA[qxink commented on iPod Patent Turns the Volume Down, Annoys You No End]]> To Gizmodo as well as a lot of the previous commenters, what you see here is not Apple trying to control how its users live, this is Apple trying to dodge a flurry of lawsuits in countries such as France where you simply cannot legally sell a portable music player that can put out as many sustained dB as the iPod can at maximum volume. Previously this has been addressed by Apple through limiting the volume in firmware (I believe around 2G iPods it got toned down from 101 dB to 100, which is a 50% perceived volume drop).
