no, what's observable here is that ppl support "it" no matter how it turns up or not.
i say, TURN IT DOWN!

In a related story, General Motors will have all of their 2009 Car Models shut down completely when the speed of the automobile exceeds the posted limit on any roadway or highway. Also Guinness has announced a new beer that turns to water after the drinker hits an .08 alcohol level.
fine. but cigarettes DO NOT cause cancer.
It's too bad we can't check back here in 25 years and see what people's opinions are. I suspect a number of them will have changed, perhaps radically.
When millions more people than there should be have serious hearing loss, there will be people who either kick themselves for playing so much music so loudly and/or who blame others for making it possible.
It's never a problem until it affects us. Then it's a big problem.
Yeah fixed speed limit is 155. Not 155 then slowly slowing down to 80.
Not a bad idea if they make it an option and have it be able to tell the difference between speakers, headphones and when it is connected to a car.
Good thing I have my iPod connected via dock connector to my car's head unit.
(Good thing too because the iPod's amp is pure garbage).
Apple will need to introduce this as a compulsory feature for the u.s customers only:
1. They are the only ones who would start Class Action lawsuits
2 They are the ones who don't understand personal responsibility. For example, fat americans suing fast food restaurants for making them fat, amongst the many stupid law suits.
The rest of the world: an optional or parental feature only!
Amen to that ... and I'm an American! I'm surrounded by MORONS!!! Arrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!

You're absolutely correct... Cigarettes do not cause cancer. Lighting and Smoking them does (or being around one that's lit).
An unlit cigarette is perfectly fine.

Yes and they can just put a warning label on the box: Loud music may cause hearing damage. Done end of story and no limits on the POD!

sounds like mcdonald's and their "too hot" coffee
this is ridiculous. while i think that the technology sounds cool, and i'm sure apple will do it right...i still can't help but think...
people should be smart enough to know to adjust the volume themselves.
unfortunately they aren't.

good so long as its optional.
1) Some people don't use Apple buds and need more power to get the same decibels with their beefier set
2) Some people (like me) have a hearing loss and need to set it to 100% so that we can hear the thing to begin with (note: my hearing loss is genetic and not related to auditory damage)

It's fairly obvious that the problem lies with the engineering of the vast majority of commercial music. Dynamic range simply does not exist anymore. Everything is compressed to hell and subsequently mastered to be as loud as freaking possible. By the time it gets to the listener's device, there's really very little that can be done.
If it's too loud....you're too old!
Seriously though, there is this revolutionary thing that Apple have come up with that lets you adjust the volume if you find it too loud or quiet.

I completely agree. I was talking to an engineer friend of mine that works at Abbey Road and he was saying how all the new bands that come in demand more and more compression on their material until they just sound like a big mess. There's absolutely no separation left between any of the instruments and it sounds more like a wall of crap than a wall of sound. These new kids have no sense of dynamics nowadays because all they've been influenced by, production-wise, is the stuff they hear on Radio 1.
