We Love Baseball!

ByMike Moffit

With the All-Star game happening tonight, it got me thinking about how much we here at Small Dog Electronics love America’s pastime. We have some friendly rivalries in the office and stores, generally between the Red Sox and anyone else who’s not a fan of the Red Sox.

As we’ve alluded to in the past, some of these rivalries spur bets where the loser has to wear a team shirt of the winner’s team. Don recently lost a bet to me, wherein he had to purchase an Orioles shirt to wear for a day after his beloved Cubs failed to win the series between the two teams. (In a more serious bet between Don and Hapy, the latter has been dutifully wearing a Celtics shirt ALL WEEK to commemorate the loss of his Lakers in the NBA finals.)

Tonight, though, many of us will be on the same side as we root for either the American League or National League in the All-Star game. The game starts at 8PM tonight at historic Yankee Stadium, so I imagine there’s still time for some friendly bets around here to commence…

  • 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.
