iPhone keeps buried earthquake victim alive for three days

This one's making headlines around da intertoobs today. Pretty cool, I have to say, though I do wonder how he managed to keep it running all that time....mine usually needs daily charging. I guess he had the presence of mind to turn off all the battery-hungry bells and whistles?

Still though, this shows that in fact there are useful apps that can have real, practical uses out here in meat-space.

But lets not overhype it. Yeah, that means you, iphone fanboy :)
