Hats with built in earphones are nothing new, but this new beanie from iThreeSixty takes things a step further by including a clear window that holds the iPod itself.

On the plus side, this does mean that you won’t get tangled up in the earphone cable as you move around, but I think you’ll find that displaying your iPod to the world introduces a host of new problems. For starters, thieves will be able to tell instantly if your hat is worth swiping off your head. Even if you live in a safe area, it’s hard to look cool if everyone can see on the display that you’re secretly grooving to the new Justin Bieber album. But most problematic of all, you’ll need to pull off your hat to dial up any specific album or song.

The beanies sell for about $50, and are compatible with all iPod Nanos except the wider series 3. Some versions include an unspecified donation to AWARE, a group that supports breast cancer awareness.

A comment made by Google CEO Eric Schmidt has brought the dominant search engine some negative press, and has some eyes in high places turning toward Microsoft’s “decision engine,” Bing.

In an appearance on CNBC, Schmidt said the following:

“If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. If you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines — including Google — do retain this information for some time and it’s important, for example, that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act and it is possible that all that information could be made available to the authorities.”

Schmidt’s remark is vague, and has allowed a variety of interpretations. Name-checking the Patriot Act is generally not a good way to assure folks worried about privacy, but is Schmidt talking casually about what the authorities demand of search engines, or does Google not have the user’s back when it comes to privacy?

Asa Dotzler, Mozilla’s director of community development, has a problem with more than just Schmidt’s comment. He’s got a problem with Google itself. Click Continue to see what he’s got to say.
