How to determine the strength of a foodborne illness claim
One extraordinarily effective tool in establishing the defectiveness of a product that no longer exists is uncovering documentation of the food service establishment�s sordid past. This may include information regarding prior incidents or accusations of food contamination and prior inspections of the facility and the establishment�s food production and service procedures. Supportive documents can be acquired through the discovery process or through the applicable freedom of information act. The uncovered documents will help the plaintiff make his case in a variety of ways. Sometimes, there may be documentation of improper food handling procedures that can circumstantially prove the manner of contamination. In other situations, a list of improper techniques and code violations can serve as a tool for limiting a defendant�s trial options, or it can position a case for early and favorable settlement.
Video iPod jumpstarts PMP market
Even though Apple's video-capable iPod technically does not fit the definition of a true Portable Media Player (PMP), it has given the product class a boost, reports high-tech market research firm In-Stat. According to the research company, the worldwide market for true, video-centric PMPs will grow to 5 million units by the end of 2006, up from a mere 390,000 just two years ago. "Despite the fact that PMP shipments are finally gaining traction, suppliers and manufacturers continue to face challenges," commented Stephanie Ethier, In-Stat analyst. "PMPs will continue to compete with other portable devices offering similar functionality, such as notebook computers, portable DVD players, handheld gaming products, and other mobile devices." Over the next year, In-Stat expects that improvements in video compression technology, download video content sites, and wireless communications will help drive the PMP market.
