As adults, we have to decide what is good for us, and what isn't. Now I know, sometimes we do a poor job of that! Look at the many overweight people, or Drug addicts, etc . . . . . But it looks as though Apple might be making a move that resembles something Microsoft might do . . . They have patented an app that determines how long you have been listening to your music through your iPod or iPhone and then automatically adjusts the volume to protect your ears. I guess I have a real problem with this . . . I haven't tested it and don't know the limits, but I don't like software controlling things like loudness of my music! Whats next? "Your computer has been on too long, and will now shut down because you are a candidate for Carpel Tunnel?". This is probably Apple reacting to lawsuits or probable lawsuits . . . According to the London Daily Mail , the iPod will be capable of calculating the amount of "quiet time" that the iPod has been turned off and will allow you to go full volume when re-started. I think this sucks! The truth: Sometimes I would like my iPod to go louder! Sometimes, its too loud. And Jobs put this very cool volume wheel for me to easily adjust the volume to my liking! This is something that doesn't need to be "fixed' in my opinion . . . . . In case your interested, currently iPods on the market are capable of just over 100 decibels. Anything past 70 is considered unsafe . . .
