iPod Saves Soldier’s Life

In the old days lives were saved by Zippo lighters.
Here’s the caption that was attached to the photo:
“My wife’s uncle works in a military hospital and told me about this. Its pretty amazing. Kevin Garrad (3rd Infantry Division) was on a street patrol in Iraq (Tikrit I believe) and as he rounded the corner of a building an armed (AK-47) insurgent came from the other side.
The two of them were within just a few feet of each other when they opened fire. The insurgent was killed and Kevin was hit in the left chest where his IPod was in his jacket pocket. It slowed the bullet down enough that it did not completely penetrate his body armor. Fortunately, Kevin suffered no wound.”

CNN: No love for Zune

Best question: “Who’s going to buy this?
My own moment of wonder: Why did MS include wifi that won’t allow you upload music from PC to Zune without wires?!
Punchline: the last 15 seconds of the clip turn into an endorsement for the Shuffle- did Apple pay for this?!

Mophie offers a site full of interesting (available?) ipod accessories and a design that verges on beautiful and slightly mysterious. Perhaps too mysterious for the average shopper

While many have accepted the restrictive DRM of the iTunes/iPod family, Norway is the second European country to take issue with Apple's insular copyright protection. As a result, Apple may be banned from the Norweigian market. Sure, the numbers aren't big BUT what if this started a trends towards official anti-iTunes policies across the continent?
