AP - Apple Inc. has agreed to settle a pair of class-action lawsuits in Canada alleging it misled customers about the staying power of their iPods, the latest courtroom truce over the dwindling battery life of early generations of the device.
Apple is offering $45 credits to Canadians who own a new first, second, or third generation iPod purchased before June 24, 2004. The settlement could affect up to 80,000 Canadians.The lawsuit was filed by two iPod owners because rechargeable batteries died in the second year of use after just three hours, contrary to the advertised claim of eight hours between recharges.The $45 offer is considerably less than the amount sought by the Montreal plaintiff. Lenzi initially asked for $137.77 from Apple for a replacement battery, plus shipping and handling, $50 for inconvenience and $400 in exemplary damages.The $45 dollar credit offered by Apple will be redeemable at the online Apple Store.Read MoreThis blog will tell you how to Unlock Jailbreak Activate and Hack your iPhone and iTouch firmware

Live with CardsWhen the economy or personal issues and problems result in a high credit card debt, we often find our debt spread over three or four or more cards. So you may have a Visa, several MasterCards, a Discover card and a Capital One card and maybe many more each carrying several thousands of dollars of debt. The result is an ugly parade of bills from each company each needing a minimum payment that pays the interest and even it takes just a small amount off of your debt. but consider so many card have to paid,it could be a huge amounts.The Debt MountainIf it seems that the debt mountain never seems to go down, that’s not an illusion.

Below is part of an email that a car accident victim recently sent to me. Unfortunately, I cannot help her with her claim because once you have settled with the insurance company for injuries caused by a car accident you can not ?renegotiate? if you are later found to have more serious injuries. This case is a good example of why you 1-) should not settle with the insurance company until your medical condition is fixed and stable for some period of time, 2-) you should not be in a hurry to settle medical claims immediately following an accident, 3-) you may need an attorney to help negotiate your settlement.

It cannot be taught as it would be in a Sunday school class, legal scholars said. As part of the settlement, the district agreed to use a new curriculum developed by a committee of local educators.

Settle Unsecured Debt ASAPBy: Dan DelgadoDifferent credit companies have different criteria when offering settlements on unsecured debt. More and more these companies look to negotiate a way out of the money owed to avoid having to sell their debt to junk buyers or collection agencies.It is true creditors can claim much of the unsettled debt as a loss and still not take a big hurting, but in these times of recession every penny they collect from their debtors is better than none at all. Usually a creditor will charge off an account about 180 days delinquency, this means the account will be forwarded to a collection agency or sold to a junk debt buyer. Once this happens settlement percentages will change, some for the best some for the worst.Collection agencies and junk debt buyers are now

SEATTLE - Attorney Chris Davis of the Seattle personal injury law firm Davis Law Group, P.S., has announced that his office recently settled a drunk driving auto accident case that occurred in Redmond, Washington back in January 2005. The drunk driver* has agreed to a settlement of $350,000 for personal injuries inflicted on Mr. Davis' client.*
The accident occurred when the drunk driver was returning home after consuming drinks at the Lucky 7 tavern located in Kirkland, Washington. The drunk driver admitted to consuming at least 4 drinks but possibly 5 over a 2 hour period. The drunk driver lost control of his vehicle and then crossed into the oncoming lane where he struck a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction. M
Rather than continue and fight, three of the big e-giants have settled with with the U.S. Government after they were alleged to have supported online gambling. While the EU has been very upset with the U.S. over the policies they enforce on online gambling, it isn't enough to shake the attorneys off Microsoft, Google and Yahoo.The three companies will be sharing a $31.5 million settlement. Microsoft will be paying $21 million, Yahoo $7.5 million and Google $3 million, which will supposedly be used to educate the public about how illegal online gambling is, among other things.Fining big companies won't get them anywhere, however, - it is the individual users who want this, and we all know that all the threats in the world (we're looking at you, RIAA) won't stop the people.
Debt agency pays to settle abuse chargesBy Fred O. Williams National Action Financial Services, a debt collector in Amherst, has agreed to pay $85,000 to settle charges of using outlaw pressure tactics, state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday.The company, called NAFS, was the subject of 90 complaints within the last three years, about one third of them from within the state.One woman said that a fax was sent to her employer 20 times during a span of 2 1/2 hours. NAFS fired the collector responsible, Cuomo's office said."This company's alleged tactics went far beyond legal — or even normal — methods of debt collection," Cuomo said in a statement.Other complaints said that collectors falsely claimed to be calling from an attorney's office.Some complaints came from people who didn't owe money. People were contacted repeatedly for information on the whereabouts of the supposed debtor, despite requests that the calls stop.The agreement, in addition to the $85,0

Frankly, because this is Coldplay we’re talking about, one would expect this to be more of a slow, “Nightmare before Christmas” type of endeavor. Luckily for us, Coldplay has not created new Christmas material.

It seems that the last chapter regarding the robbery of Kanye West’s Video of the year has come to a quiet and lackluster conclusion. Robert Craig “Evel” Knievel has dismissed the case, entitled Knievel and K and K Promotions, Inc. v. West, Roc-A-Fella Records, LLC, Chris Milk and AOL LLC. Apparently “Evel” felt that West’s “Touch the Sky” video from his multi platinum, Grammy Award-winning 2005 album, Late Registration infringed on some personal note.
So Mr. West and Knievel recently met at Knievel’s home in Tampa, Florida and settled the matter. But I gotta digress for a moment, the brother got robbed at the MTV music video awards. Blatantly, I didn’t even realize that MTV chopped up West’s video. Last night the brother and I watched both vids again and it was the first time I got to see the video in its entirety. It’s just another one of the tactics MTV employ’s to harass artists. I just had to spit that out, it

In the run-up to peace negotiations in Annapolis later this month, Israelis continue to expand their settlements in the West Bank, an obvious sign of the good faith that will guarantee success of the talks.
According to Peace Now there is continuing construction in 88 out of about 150 of the authorised settlements, in addition to the building of permanent structures in 34 unauthorised settlement outposts.
What do settler leaders say about this? They express their pleasure about Peace Now’s report, thanking it for “documenting their endeavour.”
But look on the bright side. When transfer does occur, inevitably, the Israeli homes constructed in the West Bank can be the quid pro quo for the homes stolen during the expulsion.

Yes, this again. Culture of Soccer had to go there. I don't know why, especially seeing as they base their arguments on a book that came out 12 years ago. Actually, check that: they don't really take a stand on this issue, choosing instead to just introduce these decade-old views and leave it to us to decide. Fair enough. So let's decide then. Ready?

Soccer is un-American because unlike baseball, basketball and (American) football, it wasn't invented in the U.S. First of all, I don't know if anybody "invented" soccer per se.

Not even the changing table has to be plain anymore.
Mom & mechanical engineer Sue Wong has designed the newest & in our humble opinion (heh) the coolest changing table on the market today. New to the baby market in September, the ubi is not only extremely functional (with the diaper dispenser, fastener strips to hold the diaper in place and super-easy wipe clean fabrics) but it’s absolutely fabulous to look at. So much so that you might just leave it in your living room instead of making the trek to the nursery for changes. (At least until baby starts solid foods anyway. Then you might want to get as far away as possible.) The clean design doesn’t just look good, however. It works. The clean lines make those unfortunate explosions easy to clean up and the height is a perfect mix of floor & table. It’s comfortable for the back (and the post cesarean belly) yet isn’t high enough to cause serious injury if an active baby squirms off onto the f

Phillies starter Adam Eaton has grown disturbed about his poor performance early in games. Curiously, his poor performance later in games doesn't seem to faze him. Go figure.Early-game woes are irking EatonAdam Eaton is stumped. "What is it?" he asked.I'm afraid there's no easy answer, Adam. Eaton could become the first Phillies pitcher to finish with the league's worst ERA since Mark Leiter (5.67) in 1997.And all because of those early innings! If he could just figure out his problems at the beginning of the game, he'd be dominant, right? Eaton has a 7.63 ERA in his first two innings. He has a 5.25 ERA from the third inning on.Oh...hold on. You mean he's truly awful in the first two innings, and merely really bad for the remainder of the game? If he could just get his performance in the first 2 innings to resemble that of his performance in subsequent innings, why then...he would still be a terrible major league pitcher."Maybe more conviction," Eaton told reporters of a possible

The Associated Press is reporting that the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles reached a deal where the church will pay approximately $660 million to settle hundreds of clergy sexual abuse lawsuits. I'm not sure how to put a price on the sort of suffering caused by these sex offenders who preyed on those entrusted to them, but I am glad to see that victims will receive compensation. I hope we will see some serious reforms in the aftermath of this settlement and that other denominations will be more proactive in implementing reforms than the Catholics were.Tags: church, Catholic church, sexual abuse, Los Angeles, settlement

It appears as if the Bears and Lance Briggs are going to try and work out their differences, as agent Drew Rosenhaus has presented some new proposals to the Bears about getting Briggs back in the fold. While Rosenhaus was in Chicago wrapping up the five-year deal for first-round pick TE Greg Olsen, he gave the Bears some food for thought about Briggs. “We presented some concepts that we think will work for the Bears and for Lance,” Rosenhaus said in the Chicago Tribune.
It has been a stressful offseason between the Bears and Briggs, to the point where Chicago slapped him with the franchise tag when a new deal could not be worked out. The tag will guarentee him $7.2 mil for one season, much to the dislike of Briggs, who has been outspoken in wanting out of the Windy City. The talks between Rosenhaus and the Bears is the first sign of progress for quite some time.
Briggs has gone on record that he will not play for the Bears as long as he does not have a long-term dea

New head coach Peter Moores has been a key reason for Matt Prior's blistering form in an England shirt, according to the wicketkeeper-batsman.Prior, who played under Moores when he was at Sussex, says the coach has injected new life into the England set-up and helped the international debutant settle into his role as both stumpsman and a lower-order big-hitter.And the 25-year-old South African-born player, who has a Test average of over 64 from his four matches so far, says he is looking forward to joining up with the one-day team ahead of the three-game series against West Indies."It will be different," Prior said. "It is a clean slate, we have new faces in the squad and it is a very exciting time."It is fantastic to have Mooresy there. He knows my game well from when he was my coach at Sussex and, on top of that, he is a fantastic coach, a fantastic motivator and he is able to get the best out of people."Prior

Apple Corps, the Beatles' company, has settled its £30 million ($59.2 million) royalties dispute with the band's label, EMI.EMI would not disclose details of the settlement, which was reached last month.

The writ alleged unpaid royalties on Beatles albums based on an audit of sales between 1994 and 1999, a period which included the release of three "Anthology" compilations.The latest settlement between Apple Corps and EMI follows a deal struck in February between Apple Corps and Apple Computer over the use of the Apple name.That removed a major obstacle for Beatles tracks to appear on iTunes.

Author of six other novels, Chuck Rosenthal, has recently released his latest literary work, "The Heart of Mars." The plot of this fantasy/sci-fi novel is pretty interesting. Global warming has caused the habitation of Mars in the year 2450 by a race known as the Nution. A freighter that is carrying a load from the farms of Europa is hijacked and is last seen heading toward Mars. Detective, Marl, who is both human and Nution, is sent to investigate this issue. He discovers the utopian dream of the Nution is not as it seems, and that the solar system is on the verge of revolution.This novel, part detective story, part action adventure, had me thinking and intrigued as I sat and read it through, cover to cover. I think that you'll enjoy it as well. It's a nice break from the tensions of reality and business. Grab a cup of tea, pick up the book, The Heart of Mars by Chuck Rosenthal, and enjoy.Here's to your relaxation!Tony

Cisco Systems and Apple said Wednesday they have settled the trademark-infringement lawsuit over the use of the iPhone name for Apple's new multimedia phone. The agreement allows Apple and Cisco to use the iPhone brand on their own products. Also, the companies said that they would explore opportunities for interoperability in the areas of security, consumer and business communications. The brief announcement made no reference to any financial agreement or specified how the two companies might work together. Representatives for Apple and Cisco declined to comment further, citing confidentiality restrictions. Cisco sued Apple for trademark infringement in January after Apple unveiled its long-awaited multimedia phone called the iPhone, a name claimed by the network equipment maker.

Officials at Harvard University today announced a bold experiment designed to settle once and for all the question of God's existence.Recently Harvard has come under fire for rejecting a recommendation that all undergraduates be required to take a class in religion. Critics argue that religion is a fundamental aspect of what it means to be a human being, and that by allowing its students to avoid studying religion Harvard is producing graduates who are ignorant of one of the key psychological and sociological forces that has shaped human history.Now the university has released a statement that attempts to clear up the confusion regarding the policy. In the statement Dr. Harold Emmets, the Harvard Dean of Reason and Objectivity, states: "At Harvard we value the principles of Science and Reason. When we are faced with an unproven proposition that is believed by billions of people, it isn't our job to simply dismiss it outright. That would be a clear sign that we're being just as
