Apple Hit With iPod Hearing Loss Lawsuit Information Week Reports : 2/2 "The suit asks for unspecified damages, and demands that Apple Computer update the iPod software so its portable music players can't blast tunes at more than 100 decibels." Its been stated in almost every article about when Apple was buying the iPod (portal player) from Pixo, the company that designed it, that Steve Jobs is a little hard of hearing, and he asked the engineers to remove the volume limiter. It looks like this decision has come back to bite them. Kacey Green GRLT.com "Tech with a twist of lime!" Share it!
