You have no idea. If there's anything wrong with your iPhone software, there's no other recourse but to wipe it. Like I said, I was never a tech, but I frequently helped them check in people when it was busy. I would say at least 70% of mobile appointments ended the customer restoring the phone, or leaving to do a backup to come back and have the techs do it. It's also hard to believe how few people actually back up their mobile devices.

I doubt it, there's probably some weird reason, but I couldn't tell you exactly why. I personally have a mac mini connected to my TV with iTunes open all the time. I have it set to auto download any purchases I make and my phone is set to wirelessly sync with it when its charging. All of that is to make sure the library on my computer always has all my files. That way, if I ever NEED it, I can always re-sync. It has come in handy for the few apps I have that are no longer on the App Store!

Comment: Do you think Apple gives a shi*? (Score -1) 106

Apple (and other big companies) are inundated with ridiculous patent trolling lawsuits weekly. By all of these companies filing frivolous lawsuits, doesn't the precedence set by the rulings both for and against them mean that it makes it that much harder for patent trolls to win? Do you think a multi-billion dollar company like Apple could give two shits about whether or not it wins some dumb lawsuit as long as it can say to a judge "Well, the case of this patent troll currently suing us doesn't hold water because the rulings on this case, this case, and this case all show his point is invalid."?

If you only knew how the people I've heard called guru's learned to use a spreadsheet or other app you'd ask 'and why were they called guru's?'.

I wish I had mod points for this quote here. I was the Excel "guru" at my last job. All I did was Google things I wanted to learn. Apparently, that's something no one else in the office could figure out.

Actually, even before eBooks, it cost so little to print a book that it was hardly an issue of cost. It costs pennies to print a book. The price you pay for books, even now, goes to other things (cover artist, author, publisher, marketers, etc). Going digital really doesn't save publishers any significant amount of money.

Computer programs expand so as to fill the core available.
