iPods and Pacemakers Don't Mix

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the listen-to-your-heart dept.

fermion writes "The Register reports a study that indicates that iPods and pacemakers do not get along. While there do not appear to be any long term effects, iPods disrupt the operation of the pacemaker. It is noted that such effects have not previously been observed as iPods do seem to be popular with the pacemaker-wearing population."

  1. I knew it! Apple makes such shitty products by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I didn't know it would extend to killing. It still hasn't surprised me though. Apple should be sued out of existance and all apple-loving fucktards, like the linsux/open-sores-loving fucktards, should end fucking it all by slitting their fucking wrists.

    GO AHEAD FUCKING FLAME AWAY OR WASTE YOUR GODDAMNED MODPOINTS FUCKTARDED SHITDOT SHEEPLE!!!

  2. Just iPods? What's going on, Apple? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Wow, Apple have really dropped the ball if only their MP3 player interferes with pacemakers, while every other company that produces similar devices has somehow taken that into consideration in the design of their products.

    Why do people say "iPod" when referring to any portable music player? This is something I'd expect from a young kid or an old woman who doesn't realize there's more than one brand available. But not from Slashdot.
