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.

      Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.

      Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
