It appears as though some of the folks in Cupertino may be in need of SCUBA gear this afternoon after a major leak sprung in a building on the Apple Campus:
California Water Service Co. crews are cleaning up what’s left of a major water leak that left more than a foot of water lining the floor of an Apple Computer Inc. building in Cupertino early this morning.Unfortunately, the room in which the leak occurred contained the only known copies of all iPhone prototypes, design documents, advertising material, packaging, schematics, and the relevant portions of Steve Jobs’s and Jonathan Ive’s brains. Or such will be the official story at Macworld.At one point more than 100 gallons of water per minute were flooding into the building from a leak under the first floor, a Santa Clara County Fire Department dispatcher said.

Is this for real? God, I hope not.
This has probably been said before......but here goes...
Maybe they should have a device that works more like a PDA mini laptop with voice over internet function (skype) and remote desktop that somehow links the calling contract into your home phone billing/broadband. I guess you could use a vertual phone number or call forwarding from your home phone?
