| iPod lawsuit http://edition.cnn.com/2006/LAW/02/0....ap/index.html This smacks of stupidity and greed...but since the lawsuit is in USA, what's the potential impact on Apple?

I doubt this will have much impact. I'm not a lawyer, but as the article points out, there is a warning in the documentation, and even the plantif says he can't prove that the device was the cause. This is an arguement and lawsuit that has come and gone over the years since the first Walkman was released.

This is some dirtbag with a lawyer, nothing more. They want it to be given Class-Action status, so they can sue on behalf of everyone who's purchased an iPod. They know that they have no case on their own. The fact is, these warnings have been around forever. Would he like it written across the screen even time the device is powered on? I'm sure he wouldn't because then he wouldn't be able to sue. It's lawsuits like this one that give other, legit lawsuits a bad name with the American public. They give politicians something to run on, with them being able to push for tort reform by pointing to cases like this one. This guy should be ashamed of himself. I hope the judge laughs at him and throws the case out the window. |

Six months ago I saw a man driving a truck at around 50 mph whilst reading a newspaper. I suppose if had crashed, he could have blamed the publishers. It seems everyone these days are trying to win the Darwin award (http://www.darwinawards.com). Correction: It was the British Sun newspaper, therefore he was in fact reading a comic not a newspaper, but I suppose the principle still stands.
