You're on your iPhone, aren't you Hip? I encounter the same, awesome auto-corrections.
AOL just had an article about the dangers of using headphones while on a plane or train. Because the ambient noise is so much louder on these moving vehicles, iPod and other portable device users crank up the volume on their devices and often lead to dangerous levels of sound. I make it a point to never go about 50% on my iPod. If I can't hear it at that point then I just figure I don't need to be listening to anything.
