There are stories and links all over to the news that state legislators in New York may ban iPods in crosswalks. The problem is that people are "...walking into buses. They're walking into one another and it's creating a number of fatalities..." The bill will not specifically target iPods, but will be aimed at any portable device that has users with earphones on that are blocking street sounds.
