I can't help thinking after saying "what?" about 30 times today to family & friends that my iPod is slowly making me go deaf. Maybe it's the fact that the headphones go farther in my head than normal headphones (they're the buds baby)..or maybe it's the fact that iPods have supercharged audio output of 20,000hz, which is way more than most other MP3 players on the market. It's so loud they placed a volume limiter in the European versions to make sure people wouldn't blow their ears out.
Apparently the move was all based around the fact that Steve Jobs (Apple's CEO) is partially deaf in one ear and wanted something he could play loud enough to overcome that...and frankly we all know that the best way to fix hearing problems is louder music. Just ask people who grew up in the 80s:
Wife: "What?"
Husband: "I think the Wal-Mart camera guy says we need more hairspray"
Child: *Grrr...*
Wife: "What?"
Okay, enough about iPods, I'm sure you're sick & tired of hearing about them & in case you feel left out of the whole iPod movement, it doesn't mean you can't dip some headphones in white-out & make your own iPod (or iPod mini) to bring to the gym or your local bowling alley...
Even though it won't play music, you'll save a lot of cash right?
Photo of the day: I think the one above does the trick.
