There seems to be a lot of brouhaha from iLounge and Boingboing over the revelation that the iPod Shuffle's new headphones contain a special new chip that may be some sort of hardware DRM. It also may be a way to communicate with Aliens no one is sure yet. We hope it isn't some sort of DRM that controls what headphones or charger the Shuffles can use but until someone with knowledge of the situation can sort it out, we're going to just sit by and watch..
