Today's round-up of current events.
Apple is
being sued for not providing adequate warning about the potential for hearing loss when listening to
its iPod product at high volumes, despite the inclusion of such a warning in the device's user manual. Also
alleged: that Apple "let us have dessert which spoiled our dinner", and "didn't make us go
to bed on time last night, and today we're tired."
Muslim protesters in Damascus set
two European embassies ablaze in protest of a widely-reported Danish cartoon, which
depicts Mohammed wearing a bomb for a turban. (Depictions of the prophet Mohammed of any kind are
taboo under Islamic tradition.) Western news commentators replied, "...buh?" Syrian Muslims were heard
shouting "God is Greatest", and referring to danishes as "Freedom pastries".
