I was never too much of a movie fan, not even in the old VHS days. However, there is something about going out and renting a movie you haven’t seen in years and being able to watch it again. I was never into new releases as much as I enjoyed finding a movie I’ve seen before, a movie that is good enough to watch 10 times over.

Netflix, and then Blockbuster, provided me with these options.

The Price Is Right.. Bitch

The price seemed to be right. For under $20.00/month you could have unlimited rentals with up to three movies out at once. It was a good deal, but I found myself stepping over my returned mailers on the floor of my room. I would end up not returning them, maybe in the hopes they would return themselves? Still, it was nice to know that when you did finally get around to dropping them in a mailbox, you could have movies coming the next day. If you played your cards right, you could literally almost never be without a movie to watch.

My post reprinted from the Apple support forums:

My iPhone started vibrating all by itself yesterday. So I thought it was the switch, and tried playing around with it. It ended up breaking. But, the vibrate switch always was a problem for me, even when new. For some reason, it would move too easily either way, often turning on when I just touched the side of the phone. Anyway, made an appointment today for the iPod Bar and within 30 seconds the genius said, “I’ll go get you another phone.” A few minutes later, he was back out with a new phone. When I got home literally it took me 5 minutes to sync my phone and be right back to where I was before.

I did have a backup, and everything seemed to sync perfectly, all settings, etc. Except the custom rings I had for some people I had to reset them. They were set to default. Not too bad for only the 5 or so custom rings I had for people. Maybe making the backup doesn’t save that info.

I give Apple 5 big stars for the service I received. Didn’t have to pay a penny and was in and out within minutes.

Thanks Apple!
