Power outage may have ruined 15 exabytes of WD and Toshiba flash storage
15 exabytes: 1.2*10^20 bits. That's a lot of dead ones and zeros.

Apple Watch Series 4 fall detection credited with saving another life
Cellular carriers in the USA are required to accept 911 calls from devices even if there is no current/active/paid service. $10/month fee isn't necessary for emergencies like these.Soli said:
Chances are they will fall at home. So long as there is WiFi you can access you can setup their Watches on your iPhones (which will carry over WiFi) so they can get that emergency option; or you could do the same with cellular Watches and pay the $10 monthly fee to your carrier.matrix077 said:And think about in a couple of years S4 will be substantially cheaper, so much so that you can buy a few of them for your grandparents without blinking an eye, and you might have no need for iPhone too since the watch could be independent by then.
Apple Watch strategy is beginning to fall into place right before our own eyes.

Apple warning customers that App Store gift cards can't pay income taxes
A very close elderly relative of mine fell for a scam. Well over $100,000 worth of iTunes cards. She even took out a loan for $50,000 -- the bank saw every red flag but still gave her an unsecured loan for it. The scam was a call where someone pretended to be her son in law and was in jail and needed money for a lawyer. They were able to keep her from talking to the family about it by convincing her that the son in law needed to keep it secret.supadav03 said:I work for a major credit card company and we get some many calls at tax time. People wanting to discourse charges because they fell for this scam and bought hundreds of dollars of iTunes gift cards. I personally spoke with a lady who bought $2,500 worth and there was nothing that could be done. And yes, nearly all of them were elderly. -
