Bear Attack

From news.timtech.com

Kris Rowley, Chief Information Security Officer for the State of Vermont was hiking along vermont’s woodlands when she noticed that a bear was following her. Being well aware that she was not carrying any weapon to use to defend herself or fight back, she threw her iPhone at the bear in the hope of distracting it. Fortunately the bear got distracted and so Rowley was able to escape. She returned to the scene later on hoping to retrieve her iPhone and found that her precious smartphone was chewed and mauled by the bear beyond repair. Unsurprisingly, Apple would not agree to replace the phone for free. Although devastated by what happened to her phone, she said she was happy that she wais safe and would be willing to buy another iPhone again.

The moral: have your water bottle handy so that you don't need to throw your precious iPhone at the bear.
