Do you think they'd offer him a the intel powerbook to settle it? :cool:

Possibly, but then he'd sue again because when he spent 72 hours straight on the computer, his eyes hurt. :laugh:

Or because the volume went up too high

These kinds of things infuiate me!! For crying out loud, use some common sense!! I really don't know what is wrong with people these days. I don't know if it's something in the food or water, or if there were a lot of babies in the last 30 or so years that were dropped on their heads several times, but there seem to be a lot of people suffering from severe retardation these days. And it's not just stupid lawsuits like this, people in general are whiny little b^tches. It drives me insane!!!

There was another recent lawsuit where a fan got in a fight with a basketball player's wife and the player went into the stands to stick up for her. Now this guy is sueing for emotional trauma. I saw an interview with the guy and he was so whiney and such a little b^tch, I just wanted to smack the hell out of him! Clearly he was just using this as an opportunity to make some cash.

I hope this guy loses big time and has to pay all the court fee's as well as Apple's super expensive lawyer fees and has to live on the streets sucking a big black guy named bubba's penis for pennies.

I do think this bloke is a mug but Apple shouldn't make iPods go to that loud if over a period of time it damages your ears? Thats bit silly don't you think? Its like saying well I got this TV if I watch it for to long I will go blind or damage my eyes. Its pretty much unsafe if you ask me for Apple to sell mp3 players which if turned up to loud damage hearing over a period of time.

That is like saying car manufacturers shouldn't make cars that go faster the 65MPH. People just plain need to use common sense. We shouldn't have to "hand hold" everyone.

Well, the title is kinda misleading. This isnt the typical "I'm sueing apple because I'm deaf because of the ipod". This guy is beeing kinda rational.... he's sueing because he things there are not enough warnings.

I don't think that's a "sue" thing, anyway. But he's got a point on the warnings.

He's not sueing becuase he may become deaf, if he sues because of the lack of warnings, it's because he read the warning and he knows, so that would lead him to nowhere.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...

      Speak for yourself. I saw it on Feedly, came here to read it, and did read it until the steps to activate. I skipped them to read the last paragraph. I knew it was probably not "the most requested feature", but knowing Neowin, I knew the article was going to talk about a feature nonetheless. I've seen Neowin in its best and worst.
