iPod New Volume Software
Attorneys representing Apple iPod owners in a national class-action lawsuit against the computer and portable music-player giant today lauded Apple's decision to provide a way to limit the volume of the popular iPod devices, but said the company's actions fall far short.

A statement issued by Apple, on Wednesday, March 29, says the company is providing some iPod owners the ability to limit volume, a feature available to some European consumers for years.

"It is good to know that Apple finally acknowledges that there is a serious flaw with its iPod product, and is giving U.S. purchasers the same protection it has been giving French purchasers since 2002," said Steve Berman, an attorney for the plaintiffs. "Unfortunately, this patch doesn't help the millions of people who own older models -- it is a jack-legged workaround that falls well short of what consumers demand and deserve."

According to the Apple statement, the software only works with the iPod nano and the fifth-generation iPod.

Guinness World Record required a minimum of 500 distinct dishes and was presented throughout the 140-foot length of one of the Las Vegas Hilton's premiere ballrooms. Spread across more than 500 feet of combined table surface, culinary delights included BBQ style beef ribs, Mongolian chicken, salmon Wellington, cheese quesadillas, crispy buttermilk fried chicken, beef tenderloin tips braised in red wine, Tandoori chicken, soba noodle salad, chef carved Bourbon glazed ham, wood roasted chicken breast, tiramisu, New York style cheesecake and German chocolate cake.

150 years of Freud
Without Freud, Woody Allen would be a schnook and Tony Soprano a thug; there would be an Oedipus but no Oedipus complex, and then how would people at dinner parties explain why the eldest son of George Bush was so intent on toppling Saddam, reports Senior Editor Jerry Adler in the March 27 Newsweek cover story, "Freud is Not Dead" (on newsstands Monday, March 20). On the occasion of his 150th birthday, Adler takes a look at Sigmund Freud-his life and legacy-and examines how his discoveries and teachings are still put into practice today.

The latest Newsweek Poll about Freud, taken March 16-17, 2006, reports that 18 percent of Americans polled have been in therapy. When asked what the main reason is if an adult has psychological problems, 29 percent of those polled believe that their relationship with their parents growing up was the main factor; 22 percent say it is their own fault. When asked if dreams people have often reflect unconscious desires, 43 percent believe they do; 40 percent do not believe so.

On her breakup with Wilmer Valderrama: "The past year felt like five lifetimes because I've grown up a lot. I know better what to do and what not to do. I lost sight of the people and things that are most important to me. I know now that I don't need a boyfriend."
