For some, the Zune has changed their lives, they say

We're not entirely sure Microsoft has sold enough Zunes yet to qualify for a class action, but one is being prepared: Joel Geddis claims he got an electic shock from his headphones:

“Since the incident, I’ve suffered blood and fluid leakage from my ear canal, impaired hearing, and incessant ringing and discomfort.”

Geddis says that when he contacted Microsoft, he was told there had been "similar reports" and that the company was investigating. Since then: nothing.

Of course, it's just one person's tale; and it's not as if there aren't tales of iPods zapping listener's heads. Still, Microsoft must be delighted: they've finally got enough customers to have random accidents hit them. It's virtually a market segment all in its own right.

It's a first-gen Zune, too!

This is really serious stuff, but i really cant resist bringing up similarities with the macbooks with cracks at the edges, or the new ipods that are said to get scratches if inserted into otherwise empty jeans pockets.
