Apple Stuns World With iVolume

Andrew Currie's picture

Apple Computer stunned both the tech world and the music industry yesterday by
announcing the next ground-breaking feature for their iPod music players and iTunes software.

http://iheartapple.org/archives/2005/09/05/no-jobs-keynote-in-paris/In typical charismatic form, Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the stage to reinforce his company's "Think Different" slogan, attacking conformity by making sure everyone in the world wears the same set of cheap white earbuds.

He mentioned the French government's push to open up the digital rights management of the iTunes Music Store files only in passing, referring to them as "godless communists who, by the way, greatly enjoy the taste of cheese."

Then came the moment that the packed audience was waiting for: "Oh, and one more thing..."

"We think this is really going to change the way that people listen to music," Jobs continued, rotating the sleek black dial back and forth. "I love doing this!"

The usual parade of Apple allies were on hand to reinforce the product, including representatives from Adobe, Microsoft and Knobs ‘R' Us.

Referencing a lawsuit against Apple claiming that the iPod could cause hearing loss, Jobs had this to say: "You'll notice that some dials go up to eleven. Ours only goes up to ten."
