Oxford was hit by a car on Thursday, January 22nd. He is not out of the woods yet, but we think he will make it.
As I listen to the speech being given by Obama, one line stands out for me:
As for our common defence, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.
This man is a breathtaking orator.
A client of mine in New York City recently dropped his iPhone in the snow where it stayed for some time before he noticed. Unfortunately, the unit no longer operated properly so he called AppleCare. After the usual attempt and a full wipe and restore of the iPhone, they then asked him to put his phone into a Ziploc full of rice for 3 hours. What a great idea! Since rice is a desiccant, this technique should completely remove any humidity from the device.
Sadly, this did not fix the problem. Luckily, Apple replaced it under warranty.
