by Oliver Garnham
Heart patients wearing pacemakers and implanted defibrillators should avoid putting iPods or other media players in their breast pockets as the magnets in the headphones can deactivate the devices, according to a Medical Device Safety report.
The risk is posed by headphones and not digital music players in general or the iPod in particular, as some inattentive headline writers would suggest. 'Nuff said.

Sidekick: The Good News & the Bad News Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
