[Ti] Apple's latest ipod commercial.

[M Burke]

First, people have been jogging with head phones on for years.  I would 
guess the number of people killed is incredibly small when compared to 
the total number of people who jog with headphones on. Most people use 
intelligence and caution when jogging with headphones on, ie: they don't 
blast their ear drums.

My kids tell me that their iPod ear buds are designed in such a way that 
it is easy to hear external noise like a car horn or someone talking to you.

So Loren, I think your concern for safety is commendable but making a 
leap placing liability on Apple for encouraging what pedestrian have 
been doing for years before Apple even invented the iPod is facetious at 
best.  Let's move on.
