Who would have thought!


Just in case

I know how much you all love your apple gear so this is an interesting tip I found whilst on stumbleupon.com. This site is definately worth checking out you can customise your settings and stumble through the web looking for the best websites carrying some of your favourite stuff like music, photography, graphics and DESIGN!

Any way here is the article:

How a Bag of Rice can Save your Iphone

Guys, last night I did that thing where I dropped my phone in the toilet, and it wouldn't even turn on afterwards. I was at Video Isle whining about how I was going to have to buy a completely new iPhone, and there was a man there who just happened to work for AT&T. I asked him if I should try to blow-dry my phone, and he said:

SAVIOR FROM AT&T: Turn it off completely, put it in a bag of rice, and leave it there for a couple hours. The rice will absorb the moisture.

ME: *Blank stare*

S.F.A.T.&T.: Just do it.

So, I went home, got out a bag of rice, and stuck my phone in there. I took it out about an hour later, tried to turn it on, and the screen kind of lamely flickered at me. But at least it was turning on, so I stuck it back in there. A couple hours later, before I was about to go to sleep, I took it out and turned it on...AND IT TOTALLY WORKED.

Unless it was a random act of magic, you all should try this next time your iPhones or iPods get soaked. You can thank me later.
