Well, OK, I'll admit, it was an interesting read for me (an ex biologist / scientist). But for the masses, you can either RTFA, or the following summary:
MP3's and other lossy compression (loss of quality through compression) methods change the distribution of frequencies along the sound spectrum, and maybe, just maybe, because nobody has proven otherwise, it might be the case that this can possibly have permanent effects on one's hearing. Maybe. Possibly. We dont really know. Neither do you. Or so we might think. Maybe. Oh yeah - here are a bunch of pictures from a biology textbook that look really cool, but are only connected to our speculation in a weak tangential unscientific way. Maybe.
. I haven't heard so many maybe's and 'might be the case' equivalents since the last 'In Search Of' marathon. And the article didn't even have Spock. .
A nephew of mine likes Harley Davidsons. According to him their was a time when you bought a new one that you where lucky if you could drive it out of the shop. That doesn't seem to have killed of the brand or lost it any fans, in fact bikes from that era are collector items.
On a related note, Barbara Anthony, regional director for the FTC said, "In all fairness, it must be noted that my husband now has a permanently erect 47 inch penis, our mortgage rates are the lowest in decades, we earn $7,000 a week working at home, and we'll never buy a toner or ink cartridge ever again."
"The incident has severely damaged confidence in us as individuals and in Intentia as a company," says Björn Algkvist, CEO of Intentia International AB.
Yeah - no shit Sven, IT blunders with sensitive information tend to do that.
But hey, just to make sure that everyone's confidence in your company is shattered, why don't you do the American thing and file a 'It can't possibly be my fault' lawsuit.
No it's those sodium metal laptops that you have to watch out for. Although they do have one nice feature - when they become obsolete you can just chuck them in your backyard pond.

I live in Studio City (a suburb of L.A.) and there are movie shoots on my street all of the time (I live down the street from Captain Kirk).
