Something else I didn't know: Al Gore is on the board of directors at Apple Computer. I just voted my 1.2 shares to keep him there.
There's a new study going on sparked by the iPod's popularity on the use of earbuds and their relation to hearing loss. Most of us remember the stink Sony caused in the 80's with their Walkman, and I don't think that ever came to any conclusion. It really is all about personal usage. I don't use headphones all that often except for when I work out (that's actually closer to twice a month).
Some lady got killed last month when she was running while listening to music on an iPod. She got hit by a truck. The headline I read was something like "iPod Blamed in Death," while it really could have been caused by any device, or stupidity, or bad driving. Again, it's about how you choose to listen. I believe a rock concert or forgetting your earplugs on the firing range is more detrimental to your hearing than Busta Rhymes on an iPod.
