Welcome to Tequila Technology Ramblings

I created this blog as a way to present some of the up and coming new technology, and as a way for me to get involved in thinking through possible applications and trends facing the technical world today. I have a Computer Science background from Colgate University and am presently employed as a consultant for a combination consulting and venture capital firm.
The name for this blog comes from the fact that my musings often come at the end of the day when I like to sit down and enjoy a glass of scotch or even anejo. Anejo is a type of tequila that has been aged and is quite delicious.
I would also like this blog to be interactive. If you have an idea for a post, whether it's a new technology device or a new trend you see developing, please send an e-mail to me at TequilaRamblings@gmail.com and I will be sure to research and post about your topic.

Frivolous iTunes lawsuit

This really got me going yesterday. So angry I had to wait until today to write about it. Some dimwit is suing Apple because their iPod damaged their hearing. Their claim is that it's too loud and there's no warning. There is a warning, but that's besides the point.

It's not like the thing comes with the volume defaulted to max. If you're dumb enough to listen to your music too loud you deserve hearing loss. Next people will be suing Metallica for their concerts being too loud. It's Metallica, they're going to play loud music. Deal with it. People's need to pass their problems on to corporations makes me sick. You slipped on ice outside McDonalds, it's not McDonalds' fault. It's yours, you slipped. Get over it. Everything cannot possibly come with a warning label. The entire world will be covered with them.

I hope this suit gets dropped. It's an insult to the American court system and a waste of taxpayer dollars. People want taxes to go down, stop wasting our time with this crap.

Interestingly enough, the guy who i suing apple has not experienced hearing loss from an ipod. He's just saying that it could happen, and that apple isn't doing enough to prevent it.

It's just some jerk looking for his 15 minutes, and free money.
