When I tell people, "My iPod is a lifesaver," or "I don't know where I would be without it," of course I'm being sarcastic. But a for a couple of guys it's actually true. Two French guys (a snowboarder and skier) were lost in the Southern Switzerland mountains. It was getting dark and the temperatures were dropping (-15 degrees Celsius). The two alerted authorities that they were lost, but then their cell phons died. Fortunatly one of them had an iPod. Rescuers in a helicopter were able to spot out the light coming from the iPod and saved the day. [Reuters]
Gizmodo points out, some important details are missing from the story:
"What kind of iPod was it? What generation? What brightness setting was the backlight set to? Is there a difference in helicopter visibility between, say, LCD and OLED?"
IPODS SAVE LIVES, GIVE AN IPOD THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.
