Apple Tries To Gag Owner of Exploding iPod
David Gerard writes "The Times in London reports that Apple attempted to silence a father and daughter with a gagging order after the child's iPod music player exploded and the family sought a refund from the company. Well, at least they're not Microsoft. Or something."
It's not a bug, it's a feature!

It's as if a billion Fanboys all cried out at once.
The 11 year old wearing such heavy makeup (lipstick, mascara and other stuff I'm too manly to admit to knowing the names of) is far more worrying than the burnt out ipod she's holding
And what do you propose to do with all those corporate lawyers if companies simply acted sensibly and didn't default to litigation for everything? The unemployment rate is already sky-high, we don't need a wave of unemployable, irritable suits hitting the streets.

Woud throwing the device containing it out the back door suffice?
Moral: while it is cheaper, don't buy your iPod in Irak ...

I've had the opposite experience, personally...
You bought something from Apple and it didn't burst into flame and/or explode?
Support microSD: in a post 9/11 world, it is unwise to carry your data on media that you cannot comfortably swallow.
Excepting Syrup of Epicac, of course.
I still hold by my original statement, I expect Syrup of Ipecac to make me vomit profusely.

That bottle of water is dangerous, I tell you! Have you not heard of the dangers of Dihydrogen monoxide? Besides, you could splash it in the pilot's eyes. Then, while he's temporarily blinded, he could push forward on the controls sending the plane into a death spiral. We must ban all water bottles on airplanes! Won't someone think of the pilots' eyes?!!!
