Small Dog Gift Giving Guide: Michael D's Holiday Suggestions

ByMike Moffit

Small Dog Headphone-to-Headphone Retractable Audio Cable: Connect your iPod, iPhone, iPad and more to any standard audio-in jack.  Plus, it’s retractable, so no cable mess!

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson (Hard Cover): Nothing will ever replace the paper book!

iPad 2: Ok, this has pretty much replaced the paper book.

Avid ProTools 9: There are so many reasons why ProTools is the industry standard for recording. The newest version allows you to use non-Avid interfaces and costs less than $600. Amazing.

Compucessory 140W DC-to-AC Mobile Power Inverter: Turn your car lighter into a standard 3-prong electrical outlet so you can make waffles while you drive to work.*

*Making waffles while you drive to work is not recommended.

Editor’s note: We’ll be featuring Small Dog staffers’ holiday wish lists and gift recommendations here and in our newsletter Kibbles & Bytes over the next few weeks. Stop by often to find out what we think would make great presents this holiday season! Some items may take up to 10 days to ship, so be sure to order early. SR

  • AppleCare…To the Rescue

    While Apple’s products have significantly lower rates of failure than a lot of their competition, things do go wrong from time to time. When I got my iPhone 4S at launch, it would occasionally restart itself. At first, I thought nothing of it, considering I was coming from an Android device that rebooted itself so often that it might as well have been saying, “Hey, just in case you forgot you customized your splash screen, here it is again!”

    A couple of weeks ago, my phone didn’t just restart itself, but became a useless brick until I gave it a hard reset while plugged in. A quick Google search revealed this issue to be a symptom of hardware failure known in the diagnosis log as “panic.plist.” I checked my diagnosis log and there it was, three “panic.plist” occurrences in the past week. After a brief phone call with AppleCare, I was given the choice of sending the phone back to them and waiting close to a week for a replacement or to have a $730 hold placed on my credit card while they sent me a new phone overnight. As I didn’t have another phone to use, I opted for the latter.

    Normally, to have a phone sent overnight would cost $30 but because I had AppleCare, the fee was waived. Cut to today; the hold has been lifted and I have a shiny new iPhone that has yet to give me an issue. Granted, I was within the original one year warranty, but had this happened after that first year, I would be scavenging Craigslist for a cheap replacement. Thanks, AppleCare–I owe you one.
