Oh boy, was that a bad week for Apple. Last time it was so bad, Scott Forstall was still working for the company. Like with most bad stories, there is a silver lining, albeit very minor. On a more positive note, HQ is fun (add "senastienpage" as your referral code in the app - yes, it's totally misspelled!), wireless charging is awesome, and maybe you can help Cody find the right app to wake up in the morning.
