http://nevertoooldtotalktech.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Never Too Old To Talk Tech. Advice for the mature or befuddled. Thursday, August 18, 2011. I was awoken by the sound of sobbing. I reached for my eyeglasses and looked around the bedroom to find the source of the disturbance. Husband was on his side, fast asleep. Not him. Dog was at the draped windows. Flat. Not him. Then, I looked to my left, to the bedside table where my Apple devices were plugged into their chargers. A tiny pool of water, likely caused by tears, surrounded the iPhone 3G. 3G was interr...
