Please watch the KIRO documentary and decide for yourself.<br>It features a female jogger who is so afraid of the IPod that she allows her five children to take them to bed at night.    <br>And, for a  company as large as Apple to have 800 pages on supposed malfunctions/consumer complaints isn't remarkable.  Simply, why don't these victims send their device to consumer reports or some type of consumer watchdog organization?   If my daughter had a device that "exploded in a big puff of smoke and exploded ten feet in the air" I'd do something more than simply write a letter and indeed where is the letter in question from this corporate oppressor?    <br>Problems?  In a few cases, no doubt, I would think yes, but I'll bet many are related to abuse or attempts to open or modify the device.   So please consumers, if you have a problem call your local government lab.   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Beltway Greg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 3rd 2009 8:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Flaming iPod Settlement Sets the Internet on Fire]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</guid><description><![CDATA[why not own up to the mess ,like most companies do & recall all those faulty ipods before some really gets hurt .the least you can do for the people who spend as much as $100.00 to $300.00 dollars on thier products .]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kevin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 3rd 2009 9:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Flaming iPod Settlement Sets the Internet on Fire]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</guid><description><![CDATA[Interesting twist on journalistic license, O'Brien.  Let's see...the headline says that Apple is trying to silence a little girl.  Hmm...looks to me like they might have been trying to "contain" an adult (the father) and pretty much following industry norms.  Are those "norms" right or wrong?...dunno...BUT...accusing Apple of trying to silence a little girl is so far the other side of the page as to scream "b-------t".  I do kinda love it though...journalism has stooped so far in the past 20 years as to make themselves nearly irrelevant in modern society.  And you wonder why reality shows and sitcoms steal the ratings game?  Ha!....look in the mirror.  :)  Cheers and have a great day, eh?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dadzfunn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 3rd 2009 9:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Flaming iPod Settlement Sets the Internet on Fire]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ipods that catch on fire thats crazy.

No where in it's advertising does Apple Corp. suggest "dropping" your iPod as being a good or acceptable thing to do without consequences. I don't think their request for confidenciality is out of order either. Sorry, I vote against the Dad. He is not only careless with phones but is also unreasonable. The phone wasn't faulty or defective until he dropped it. And, it was out of warranty too and Apple still tried to make him happy.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe Papierz Jr]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 3rd 2009 10:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Flaming iPod Settlement Sets the Internet on Fire]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</guid><description><![CDATA[Lets see]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 9th 2009 6:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Flaming iPod Settlement Sets the Internet on Fire]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</guid><description><![CDATA[ No surprise about an apple product failing like this. I was in O'Hare when an Apple laptop burst into flames while it was on it's charger. Damn glad it happened on the ground instead of in flight. there's a simple solution to keep Lipo batteries safe it's an aluminized kevlar wrap ariund it that does two things keeps it from rupurturing the case and spreading shrapnel and flames all over and suffocats the possible flames by denbitng it ogygen. I use a wrap exactly like this when charging my much higher denisty 4000Milli amp 22.2 volt lipo.s for my Fast Electric Modified Aquacraft SV27 Boat. 53.2 mph on gps.<br> The Lipo's/LiIon batteries in hybrids are ina solid metal and kevlar case to keep them from exploding.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 3rd 2009 10:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Flaming iPod Settlement Sets the Internet on Fire]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</guid><description><![CDATA[Joe Papierz Jr-  I don't agree with you.  my daughter bought the iphone 16g last october 2008 still under warranty the stupid thing quit charging, took it to the store and they told her it had water damage, BS, she never dropped it or put it in water they just wanted her to buy another phone, they said they will swap the phone for another 1 if she paid $200.  why??? the phone was still under warranty and they knew there was no water damage they were going to give her another and probably fix her and sell it again so the won't lose any money.<br>she ended up taking it to somebody who fixes phones but as soon as her contract is over she's done with the phone and she will get a different 1 but no apple BS anything.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Candie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 10th 2009 12:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Flaming iPod Settlement Sets the Internet on Fire]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</guid><description><![CDATA[BS your daughter probly did drop the phone in water and didn't want to tell you it's not apple's fault your daughter got her phone wet and you should be flaming on at&t for keeping up on the warranty not so it's not apple's fault idiot]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jcsilverace]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 3rd 2009 11:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Flaming iPod Settlement Sets the Internet on Fire]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</guid><description><![CDATA[Candie, my dad owns a cell phone repair company so I know a lot about water damage. Inside every phone is a white sticker. If the phone gets wet, the sticker turns red. In the future open your phone and check the sticker. 99 percent of the time, the dealer is at fault; not the customer. My advice, stick to a nokia brick phone. All these new high tech phones suck! The iphone is great at meeting the standards for the "i" (aka the ipod, icamera, internet, ect.) but it sucks as an actual phone. I'd rather own a well working phone, a nice digital camera, and a good old mp3 player than have one device that can barely make a call. Stay away from LG, Samsung, and the Iphone. Stick to motorola and nokia. After all the point of a cell phone is to make a call.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[brittyangel101]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2009 2:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Flaming iPod Settlement Sets the Internet on Fire]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</guid><description><![CDATA[I see we have a few apple fanboys on here refusing to accept that apple is not the rose garden it portrays itself. Fact is that, iPods and iPhones are the only thing keeping Apple from dying. They don't want people to stop buying them and they don't want the cost of having to recall and actually fix the design. If that was to happen you would see Apple in the red. Unfortunately for you fanboys, not very many people want an Apple computer. They can't survive on your support for those alone. So they are protecting the only thing keeping them alive. Face it. Apple is playing dirty to keep this from "blowing up" in its face. (Pun intended)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2009 12:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Flaming iPod Settlement Sets the Internet on Fire]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/03/flaming-ipod-settlement-sets-the-internet-on-fire/</guid><description><![CDATA[So from now on all terrorist will have an iphone and will use it as a sucide bomb.
