Apple Gets Favorable outcome In iPod Hearing Loss Lawsuit
December 31, 2009
Apple seems to have managed to sort out a messy class-action lawsuit in its favor. The class action lawsuit claims that Apple’s iPod can cause hearing loss, but the claim was rejected in the appeals court, and ruled that the plaintiffs did not adequately show that the use of the iPod “poses an unreasonable risk of noise-induced hearing loss”. Do you think that the iPods might cause you hearing loss? Wouldn’t you just turn down the volume on your iPod whether the music was too loud anyways?

Microsoft Not Worried About Xbox Lawsuit
November 23, 2009
If there were about 1 million angry gamers who might want to sue you, most folks would be running and screaming for their mommy, but not Microsoft. Despite the possibility of facing a class-action lawsuit, a Redmond spokesperson has stressed that Microsoft is well within its legal rights to ban users from the Xbox Live as modifying an Xbox 360 is apparently a violation of the Xbox Live Terms of Use. Regardless of whether it’s legally right or wrong, Microsoft isn’t scoring any brownie points with gamers at the moment. Check out the details of the lawsuit here.

Are you one of the folks affected by Microsoft’s recent move to ban about 600,000 Xbox Live gamers who were running modified Xbox consoles? Well, it seems that the law firm Abington IP wants some input from you, and might be interested in launching a class action lawsuit against Microsoft. One of the points mentioned is that of “obtaining knowledge from Xbox consoles without the permission of the owner”. Would you want to take part in a class action lawsuit and try and force Microsoft to let you get back into Xbox Live? We’re certainly not telling you to go out and join that, of course, just updating you guys on the things that are happening. Check out the details of that here.
