"DEATH by iPod is being blamed as a contributing factor to the 25 per cent rise in the number of pedestrian fatalities in NSW.

The ''iPod zombie trance'' people get into when walking, driving or pedalling around listening to their mobile devices is being blamed for an increase in collisions and even deaths in Europe and the US."

Wasn't there a thread the other day about deliberately making electric cars more noisy to protect pdestrians? Wouldn't have much effect on an iPod user, I guess.
