iphone 6 plus and iphone 6 ranked lumpar 1 and 2 respectively among the best and latest smartphones in the world...

I prefer smaller phones. I can make do with a dumb phone because data in Spore is too expensive.

I'm keeping an eye out for a 2nd hand Sony Ericson W810 to replace the one I accidently threw into the laundry.

why people like iPhones so much ? I used an iPhone 3SG for a short while, it didn't impress me much. Android phones are much better. I prefer Google Play over iTunes. does the latest iPhone now support external storage ?

2 apple products that have never appealed to me are the ipod nano and the apple watch. i hate wearing anything on my body, except for clothes necessary to keep warm and absorb body micro-secretions and odor.

Apple I discarded as junk sells for $200,000; mystery woman stands to get half
Posted: 05/30/2015

MILPITAS -- It turns out that one person's junk is indeed someone else's treasure.

A South Bay recycling firm is looking for a woman who, in early April, dropped off boxes of electronics that she had cleaned out from her house after her husband died. About two weeks later, the firm, Clean Bay Area, discovered inside one of the boxes a rare find: a vintage Apple I, one of only about 200 first-generation desktop computers put together by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ron Wayne in 1976.

The recycling firm sold the Apple I this month for $200,000 to a private collection, Vice President Victor Gichun said. And now, because company policy is to split proceeds 50-50 with the donor, he's looking for the mystery woman who refused to get a receipt or leave her name.

"We are looking for her to give her $100,000," Gichun said.

She had stopped by on a Friday just before closing time.

"She said, 'I want to get rid of this stuff and clean up my garage,' " Gichun said. "I said, 'Do you need a tax receipt?' and she said, 'No, I don't need anything.' "

The company had a backup of donations, and didn't immediately go through her boxes. He feels badly because the woman said her husband had died a couple of months earlier. Gichun's own mother died at age 54, and he remembers how his father suffered afterward.

Maybe, Gichun said, having some extra cash might help the woman.

Clean Bay Area recycles computers, lab equipment, test equipment and semiconductors. It deals mostly with businesses, but about five times a week individuals stop by with donations. The company doesn't pick up from individual donors.

"I remember her," Gichun said.

He said she was driving an SUV. He's not divulging any other descriptive information about the woman or her car. In the future, he said, he'll be more insistent about getting donors' contact information.

To get her $100,000 check, the mystery woman just needs to show up at the company's warehouse at 1310 Piper Drive in Milpitas.

"To prove who she is," Gichun said, "I just need to look at her."

After more than 2 weeks finally have time this afternoon to set up from the old Macbook 11" using Apple's Time Machine this basically clones the old Mac to the new.



It was a breeze, take about an hour, everything is saved and transferred including history, cache etc etc
