Jewelry a No-No for Race Car Drivers.
Auto-racers for the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) were banned from wearing jewelry while driving, the organization's governing body said. Diamond earrings or piercings, gold chains and hoops were no longer permitted, as ratified by the world motor sport council summit in Paris.
The ban was proposed by the FIA's medical commission, and would apply to world rally and other pilots. Several pilots interviewed by sports media wear "an earring," or sentimental, good-for-luck amulets. The order was made for safety reasons as metal can cause burns in the event of fire the council said.
It was not clear if the ban applies to wristwatches, which if the driver wins could be seen by millions of television viewers on a driver's left wrist, providing advertising space and revenue for the bearer.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
