Commercial Volume!
Hurray! One of my pet peeves has been solved (hopefully). There's nothing worse to me than watching TV and when a commercial comes on having it be unbearably loud. Legislation just passed that forces the volume of the show and the commercials be the same. I'm sure there will be some ways around that for the savvy media companies, but I'm happy.
I know a lot of people will complain that our elected officials have more important things to do -- but this is a simple and straight forward law that will effect most of us at some point. I like it. Link: FCC (finally) cracks down on BLARING! TV! ADS! • The Register

Re: Commercial Volume!
Everytime a comercial comes on my wife has the chance to yell at me to turn down the TV and are you deaf. It will be interesting to see what new things she finds to yell at me about.

Re: Commercial Volume!
Aren't most TVs these days supposed to have a feature that prevents the sound from shooting up? Funny I've never seen it actually work. If an iPod can do it why can't a TV?
