The article says the major problem is the volume being too high. For this reason, I bought a pair of Etymotic Research ER-6I Isolator Earphones a year ago on sale for $100. Basically these earbuds will block out all external sounds. These were an excellent investment. The sound quality is amazing, and they reduce noise better than any noise canceling beasts on the market; and without the static sounds. It is like having ear plugs in coupled with amazing sound and surprisingly good bass. I can listen at 1% volume on my ipod and be happy. I bought them to travel on plane trips which has been amazing to have enjoyable flights.
The major issue I have with my information being private is not whether company A knows everything about me. That would be okay. In regards to online deals, it's the fear of unkown hacker B obtaining my life story unknowingly to both company A and myself. And just in general, I like to know exactly who knows what about myself.
This is probably why I dislike rumours and gossip so much.
you can always just install an alarm system on your car and walk around trying to set it off. or at least this works until all of the other shoppers in the lot are doing this.
Usually most phone disabling services allow emergency calls only. I know that when my phone is "locked" for no phone calls it can be used to make emergency calls and any number set up in a list(i.e. my home).

Aye, but if you plant trees there and heat it all up... they melt and it is disaterous like those spooky movies!
I am just curious as why this is in hardware? I was pretty sure I read "software" in the article...
Great! Just something else for the *AA to fuss about!
